From my experience, using the "C-key" and selecting single weapons for 1 hex range attacks individually works best. Only when these fail, you can try an additional "close assault"..for free. [8D]

Well, you can do some editting with WAWEd; but you'd have to experiment to see just how much of that it can do.

Show those naughty germs and/or virii who's boss!

<t> And now, in the right thread...Ok, so I'm late in the Kiev arm of Lost Victories; my troops are holed up defending the west side of a river (Where Are The Winter Uniforms, I believe). The battle turns out to be fairly easy despite the blizzard; there are only a company of motor rifles, a company ...

Oops...wrong thread. Sorry.

<t> Two observations about the Desert Fox campaign (8.2). First, I had to manually fix the exit hexes in the third of the Tobruk battles (backing up the Italians); as it was, they didn't give the Axis any points when they exited units. A draw was the best possible result. Booted up WAWED, set the ...

<t> Everything I've heard from the people who've used rifle grenades (mostly in Korea) leads me to suspect they should have an accuracy of no more than 2. It was supposedly just this side of impossible to hit a small building at extreme range, never mind hit a mansized target (window, cave mouth ...

Either Diplomacy in 1974, or Year of the Rat in 1976 (depending on your definition of wargame). So perhaps 30 years.

<t> Kevin, the two man LMG teams (which the Nationalist Chinese OOB uses, btw) aren't a very good representation of how the automatic weapons were used in most armies. They were never told to go wander off away from the riflemen, because either they or the rifles were support weapons. <br/>

<t> In real life a 120mm mortar bomb would probably blow a hole in the roof, and do mostly fragmentation damage to the rest of the building. The fuze is too fast for it to get through the roof and detonate inside. If it were to somehow go off inside the building, then it depends on size and ...

Those dirty rhinoviruses. Give them a sound thrashing, then send them packing. That'll teach them not to mess with a wargamer.

Failing that, do the rest & fluids thing. That works too.

In the 8.2 OOBs, will the AI choose more realistic Soviet armor and offboard guns in generated campaigns? Vast hordes of T-27s, no T-26s, no 82mm mortars, and only 76.2mm howitzers make 1941 battles somewhat more easy than they should be for the Axis.

<t> One of the reasons I like playing the Chinese communists is the wide open OOB; plenty of room to create units to represent equipment captured/purchased by my troops (high cost MP-19 armed troops, for instance). Besides, I've got a propaganda photo of PLA troops marching with Tommy guns in the ...

I think OOB 70 unit 123 (the 76 ATG) has a simple typo in the availability date. Would everyone agree that a beginning date of July 1942 would be more appropriate?

Why not have two guns? One available in August ...

I like your edit. This would work in pbem too if the OOB's relected higher ROF's<br/>
Apart from the 203's and bigger guns which should not fire more than 1-2 rounds per minute.

With an ROF of 6, a 203 ...

<t> For those who want an off board battery with more `realistic' supplies, why not just edit up the ammo and point cost of the battery? Granted, this assumes that the battery is really dedicated to your battalion; and can't be called on by anyone else or forced to relocate (or whatever else might ...

My favorite is China, 1930-1949; but of the above Eastern Front.

I would like to join the corps based contingent; I already have the computerized version of War in Europe if I want to play the ETO on a divisional scale.

I would also prefer Days of Decision to be included, if at all possible.

<t> Here's another quirk; make of it what you will...<br/>
<br/>
Fast artillery is less lethal than slow. I finally broke down and tested this; 1,200 Soviet conscripts were put in a 10 by 10 hex grid of mixed terrain, assorted German weapons (75mm howitzer, 81mm mortar, 105mm howitzer, 120mm ...

Yup; it was a nice, fresh install. I'll give it a try, thanks.

Btw; one of the Norwegian campaign battles takes place in December, 1949. Boy was it tempting to upgrade one or two units to more advanced gear...
