<t>Rather than redesign the whole terrain system, surely you can check what terrain is in adjacent hexes. Give a bonus to avoid detection for every adjacent woods hex.<br/>

Units in a 50m wood on an open plain would be pretty exposed. Units in the center hex of a 150m+ wood would be well ...

You can get it only as fast as he is putting it up, sooner or later he will have the whole 178mb up for download.

Heh, maybe in a couple more hours. You're 58 meg out of a 178meg download as of 3am EST.

<r>In addition to buying the game, I'd pay extra for the design tools for the mega campaigns. I do know that the work involved is large, but so is the commitment of the playerbase here. I've seen some excellent campaigns created by just one person in my time with SPWAW and I believe that a group of ...

My vote is for April 1st, 1000. Not just a coincidence, that's my birthday. Would make me a nice present, especially if I get a free one.

<t> I love using the .50 on light armor, pops them right open. As for heavier armor, I can often suppress them enough to button them up, then I just waltz in a squad for a close assault. *BOOM* Scratch one enemy tank.<br/>

Summaries of the combat messages are displayed at the bottom of the screen for nearly all combat results, except for most infantry losses. Infantry losses due to mines are displayed, direct fire losses should be listed as they would be in a message box.

<r> To prevent a player from using the flanking forces in the main battle, use immobile forces like mines and pillboxes. If the opposing player is willing to take the casualties and time it would take to break the flanking defenses, the other player should have to deal with it.<br/>
