Point your mouse at the top right of the screen, where it gives weather information.

Each turn I believe is "several minutes" long, it's not a fixed number.

Try Buchholz Station, available from the SP Arsenal site, that's a very small one, playable from either side and not too difficult against the AI.

It doesn't work in the preferences, but the keyboard shortcut does work.

The keyboard shortcut is "?", but don't press the shift key, so it's really "/".

I first realised the importance of conserving APCR in one battle against the Russians. I wasted all my APCR on the T-26s and T-34s that first appeared.

Then the KVs appeared!!!

<t>C2 is easist to use when you have an experienced force with plenty of radios, i.e. the US Army. Inexperienced troops with few radios are much more difficult to play, but some people like a challenge.<br/>
<br/>
Bear in mind that many scenarios are not designed with C2 in mind, and such scenarios ...

Yeah it seems most troops have them, but not many. I keep running out of the damn things! I try not to use them unless they're absolutely necessary, but they are.

And the effects don't last long anymore, they dissipate very quickly.

<t>Remember that engineers either need to be in the hex or facing it to clear mines.<br/>
<br/>
A typical minefield has 10 mines, usually 1 squad will clear 2 or 3 each turn, so it may take 4 or 5 turns. However if you put a whole platoon of engineers to work on one hex you can clear it in 1 or 2 ...

<t>Very interesting. I'm no expert on this but I'd just like to add a few points.<br/>

1) As you suggested, the greater the angle the greater the chance of ricochet, so a side hit at 30 degrees is far more likely to bounce off. I think this more than compensates for the thinness of the armour ...

<t>Smoke. Blind the pillboxes, get in close with your engineers and wipe 'em out! I usually assault from the side so the pillbox can't attack me, it takes longer but it's much safer.<br/>

Yes recon is essential, but recon by death is sometimes necessary. Think of pawns in chess.<br/>

Yes, there's a limit. I can't remember what it is but I've reached it and so have you.

I don't think there's a limit on any other terrain though.
