<t> Hi all,<br/>
<br/>
ISTR that the Allies (Brits especially) had VERY large stocks of chemical weapons and made it quite clear (Through neutral countries) that they would only use them as a retaliation weapon. The Germans had smaller stocks so decided not to use (though comments re: Hitler bein ...

Yes, very familiar

thanks for the info

<t> On ACOW I thought Norm had released a 1.05 patch which had been binned due to a problem with MG's penetrating armour? ISTR that he then said he didn't have time to fix it as he was too busy on another project. Can you confirm that he is now working on another patch?<br/>
<br/>
Sorry all but ...

Thanks Resisti,

I had read it previosly but forgot the bit at the bottom about campaigns - oh well I'll potter along until then.

BTW: Fantastic work on the scenarios it must have been a HELL of a job.

<t> Hi all,<br/>
<br/>
Just got back to playing SPWaW after a 10 month break (ACOW and Real Life took over). I've seen several scenarios mentioned as being updated to 8.1 but not mush on campaigns. <br/>
<br/>
Are there any 8.1 updated campaigns available?<br/>
Will they be updated in the 8.2 ...

<r>All of the above <E>:D</E> <E>:D</E> <br/>
<br/>
But especially :<br/>
<br/>
1) Wild Bill's (mines I swear they are telepathic, they move once you have decided where to go.)<br/>
<br/>
2) Moving a unit by accident.<br/>
<br/>
3) A new one, advancing my tanks too much at the end of a scenario ...

Hmmm I like this poll thingy

I also love the new forums

I'm on a 56k dial-up and it doesn't seem to slow the loading noticebly (some pages are always slow for me).

I like it and heartily agree with the person who suggested using it on other forums.

<t>Yes I agree that it is "gamey" to use an onboard arty to plot arty. You missed a MAJOR pro (I believe) in that the Art rating affects accuracy so arty is more accurate.<br/>
<br/>
My own rule of thumb (in games vs comp) is to only use a O unit who has LOS, or whose subordinates have LOS to target ...

OK sod's law strikes again, an hour after I posted the original I can log on again, but only after logging into the site and only from within my stats page!! ???

<t>Yes I know this isn't the best place but I can't get a reply from Combat Command.<br/>
<br/>
Every time I try and enter the forum on Combat Command I get the following error.<br/>

<t>I have just got both MCW & MCLV, I'm playing neither right now (too busy with email games), but have played a few games on Combat Command as the Japanese in the current league. I must admit to finding the Far East a revelation; there is much more dependance on sound tactics rather than equipment ...

<t>Hmmmmm, here are my preferences for a possible next MC, with some comments.<br/>
<br/>
In no particular order<br/>
<br/>
Spanish Civil War : Lots of nice Infantry fights, little heavy equipment, could make this less likely to sell.<br/>
<br/>
Sicily to the Alps : (preferably from the Brits pov ...

<t>I started (back in 1976) with Ancients & napoleonic tabletop gaming, advanced to Squad Leader etc before discovering PC's and the joy of playing V4Victory games <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> I must have owned several hundred PC wargames, and still own about 40 sets of tabletop rules (not ...

Just a request to clarify this.

In human vs human play _SPWaW_ will declare a decisive win if the score ratio is 3:1 or better?

In other words is that what the computer reports on the victory screen?

Many thanks for the replies, the only ything I can think of to say is "Doh". <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> I knew that I really did <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

<t>A Clarification<br/>
<br/>
We BOTH scored 0pts.<br/>
<br/>
I have NO problem with the idea of surrendering, I did so as I had no hope of even getting a losing draw, and didn't wanty to waste either my own or my opponents time.<br/>
<br/>
I have surrendered in previous games (using ver 6.1) for ...

<t>In a recent game I surrendered after about 12 turns, the result screen popped up and gave my opponent a resounding victory and scored the points as 0 v. 0 ???? Any idea whether this is a bug?? or something weird. I have the save game available if anyone wants a look. I only need a score for ...

Many happy returns, Wild Bill.

Here's hoping you had a good one and enjoy many more.

I can't imagine what sort of present would compare to all the pleasure your scenarios and MC's have given me, but I can only wish you peace and happiness now and forever more.

<t>ARRRRGGGHHHHHH is all I can say <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> <br/>

I am playing as Japanese on Combat Command and have just noticed this exact problem today. I am playing an opponent who is using a lot of armour and he is running tanks adjacent to my INF ...
