<r>Seems like the highaltitude bombers at last is going to work in a more reaslistic manner. Assigning a B-26 or B-17 against a single target seemed like a tad bit of overkill.<br/>
<br/>
Excellent that you have to assign a target hex and a entranceturn. This adds a new layer to the battleplanning ...

Yepp, the engineertroops are quite good at it. I think you just attack the first bridgehex all over water (with the Z-key) and then, the bridge goes! <IMG src="http://www.matrixgames.com/ubb/smile.gif"><s>[img]</s ...

<r>I can see why it takes so long time to repair a damaged maingun on a tank (spare parts, extensive stripping to do repair etc) but why does it take like 20 - 30 rounds (100 - 150 minutes) to repair a damaged machinegun? Is that because a breakdown is supposed to be worse than a jammed belt or ...

For Win2000, just forget it. Since SP2 is DOS-based and W2000 has dumped the DOS-core it will just not run. Sorry...<br/>

Seems like a fairly low resolution...<br/>

The size of that map (in 24bit colours) should only be 480 kb uncompressed. Not such a large download. Their maps must be larger and have higher resolution than that?<br/>

<r>I agree with you!<br/>

Snipers are far to easy to spot for the enemy. In numerous occasions enemy infantry has spotted my sniper (hidden in the woods) as far away as 5 hexes (250 meters...). Thats quite a feat to spot a single hidden guy on that distance, not to mention to actually kill him ...
