<r>Definately kill 'em, kill 'em all. I often use my low kill/experience troops for this. They gain valuable points for later in the campaign with minimal risk to the unit. Another reason is, as mentioned before, neatness. The crew can also cause suppression in your troops that are trying to advance ...

<r>I think its important to note that the time frame for one turn is "minutes". i.e. two or three, I think. These are not the time frames we might be used to in many games where one turn might equal many hours or even a day. So keep this in mind when playing with the malfunctions on, it may take ...

midnight clear-little known movie, well worth the rental<br/>

<r>Man, we all just gotta relax a little. Everyone likes the German (Nazi is a party, not an army. I think when people say Nazi, they are likely refering to the SS, which is an army, no direct connection with the party per se) side when playing the game because they have the coolest toys. You do ...

I was always partial to Jagd or Stu. I also think Nashorn (Nash for short) is good.

<r>Here's an interesting tidbit, tank got smoked from an AT, crew bailed out, had lots of experience and kills. When crew got rallied enough to get back into tank, experience was ca-ca and no kills. I assume only the commander of the tank did not make it out. I have never had this happen before, it ...

I'd be really interested in seeing units that would be able to go into a WWI campaign. WWI has so many possibilities and would make a great series. I know WB et al are really busy with ...

<t>Along this same lines, another question...In the next battle when the unit is not fixed you place the tank on the battlefeild and it shows as destroyed. Well, the crew are nowhere to be seen, does this mean they are dead and their experience dies along with them? In the battle where the tank was ...
