<t>Hi Guys and welcome to the world of Syeel Panthers world at war.<br/>
It does have one hell of a steep learning curve, but is about the best youcan find and all for free!<br/>

<t>I agree with you guys, it's bind this, but it's one of the limitations caused by the original game engine. They may be a work around with this, but to be honest fellah I suspect that now that the Matrix guys are starting to look to new projects it's something that we'll have to put up with I'm ...

<t>This is something that we'd all like to see but which can't be implemented in SPW@W because the game engine is only 2 dimentional. Yes it can handle hight differences for terrain, but it has no ability to deal with two units in the same hex but at different hight levels.<br/>
All being well, when ...

<t>Good point Pack Rat!<br/>
Perhaps what would be usefull would be an auto rally confirm routine something like the routine now in place for Op fire, then you can decide which units are going to try and rally again, or stay broken, and hopefully get out of dodge!<br/>

<t>I think the problem is, as gamers in general we've come to see the tank as being somewhat invulnerable to anything other then a tank. To many past games have put an emphasis on the armoured ellement of modern warfare, and have almost reduced the good old infantryman to an almost secondary role ...

Stay away from any scenario or Campaigne created by Wild Bill (grins) Not until you've got the hang of the game! He writes lean, mean battles. If you want to know what it feels like to be a piece of meat in a meat grinder, then play his Watchword Freedom Campaigne! (Runs and hides from WB!)
