A_B,
I sent you an E-Mail with the bad news...

I'll give 9 a shot. Is there any historic forces used in the battle I should know about, or should I just put in what seems reasonable?

<t>I have no real preferance for any particular battle, so feel free to assign me any battle that needs doing. Keep in mind that the more experienced designers should probably handle battles such as the 'break out of encirclement and cross river', leaving the more straightforward battles to the ...

So, it's basically designing scenarios for a massive campaign, is it?

What exactly would be involved?
In about month, I'll be moving to Toronto for college, so I don't know how long I'll be without internet access...until then, I'm free of course...

Welcome! There was an effort to make a modern version of SPWAW, but it was abandoned. A version of SP3 is being updated for modern warfare, though it will not be as radical an update as SPWAW.

Me! Not a single engineer anywhere in my German 1939 long campaign ...

Sorry about that ...

<t>Will the new game have the option of choosing whether firing ranges are shown in hexes or meters? When I first saw weapons fire in SPWW2, I was surprised that it said it was firing at 350yds instead of 7 hexes. It's another small thing, but it was surprising just how just this made the experience ...

<t>I downloaded SPWW2 just to take a quick look, and found something I've been thinking about a lot lately: It shows a unit's ammo loadout in the encyclopedia. It may be a small point, but sometimes I like to just go in the encyclopedia and look around, 'window shop', I guess, and knowing a unit's ...

Just out of curiosity, were the 81mm mortars unes in the test x1, x2, or x3. If it was x2 or x3, it could explain the accuracy, as it is really 3 mortars being lobbed, for 3X the chance of a hit. Just a thought...

Hmm, I turned out like Robert E. Lee. Quite the interesting test!

<t>For me the solution has been mechanized infantry: Those halftracks are fast, and once the enemy infantry is supressed they are very easy to overrun. 19 man Polish squads gone in one attack, simple as that! Of course, there is the matter of supressing the infantry in the first place, but we all ...

The sad thing of it all is that I've never gotten around to trying it out. I'd like to see what a kill rating of 120 could do to an infantry squad.

<t>I brought this up in the OOB forum back when v5.0 was first released, but I'm not sure if anything is being done to correct it, so here it is again:<br/>
<br/>
In the British OOB, check the Lee Mk1<br/>
The 30 cal CMG (2X) has a kill rating of 120 while the 30 cal BMG (2X) has a rating of 3! The ...

I listen to a good variety of heavy metal and death metal while playing most games. I have a small stereo set up behind me. Kinda makes me wonder if I spend too much time in this room...

With the new difficulty of hitting infantry, taking down 5 Japanese with a single BAR shot made my day! Great stuff, I couldn't be happier with the game!

I believe that there is still more than one person in machine gun squads who fire their rifles. One rifle shot from a machine gun team killed 3 men earlier today, which is better than I usually see from an entire squad of riflemen.
