<t> Two ways to use mines:<br/>
<br/>
(1) Buy them in the support purchase screen. On the Misc page, at the bottom, you can click on the Mines/DT button to buy obstacle hexes in multiples of 5. Then during deployment , use the "x" key or click on the "mines" icon just above the right magnifying ...

Thanks, Alby. I'll watch for ENH fr.

SS Hauptsturmfuhrer, did you consider using mines in the second scenario? Turnabout is fair play, and I know I'd be looking for some payback.

<r> I just came across this AAR. Good read so far. A couple of questions:<br/>
<br/>
(1) Presumably it's played under 8.403 vanilla?<br/>
(2) I didn't see a roster for the initial core. Did I miss it?<br/>
<br/>
This one looks <I><s>[i]</s>hard<e>[/i]</e></I>. I checked it out first under SPWAW ...

<t> Right. ON/OFF, with ON recommended. Thanks.<br/>
<br/>
I can understand a substantial TRUE TROOP ON cost reduction for the Watchword Freedom campaign; it's reasonable for German experience levels to decline in early 1944. I was a bit surprised to see a similar discount in the Stalingrad ...

<t> After a long absence, I returned to SPWAW (8.403) in March. This weekend I finally swapped in the Enhanced Mod and played around with it. The first thing I noticed in campaign mode is that setting True Troop Cost to "on" seems to reduce unit costs considerably. For example, in Watchword Freedom ...

<r> Thanks, guys.&nbsp; I <I><s>[i]</s>thought<e>[/i]</e></I> there was something screwy, but I don't have the 7.1 campaign for comparison.<br/>

Is there someplace I can download the 7.1 Stalingrad Campaign?&nbsp; I checked the Arsenal, but the link there is broken.&nbsp; (That's what ...

<t> Way back in 2004 I was deep in the SPWAW 7.1 version of the Stalingrad Campaign. IIRC I was about to attack the Train Station when Real Life intervened, and I put the game aside. <br/>
<br/>
Well, now I'd like to try the campaign again, but of course all my old files are gone. I installed the ...

I had the same experience with the German long campaign in SP1. I've been wondering about adding a few "meta-rules" to SPWAW's long campaign to alleviate the "superman syndrome ...

Dunno about the scenario notes saying this would be a moderatly easy battle to win - Ivan's offboard artillery took a heavy toll on my troopers.<br/>

This was a tough one. I didn't have KNomad's 8.2 scenario ...

<t> In this campaign it isn't possible to accumulate build points from battle to battle, so I concentrate on getting the most out of each batch. This is the opposite of the long campaign, where I often accumulate several battles' worth of points to splurge on the latest tank model when it finally ...

Your time frame dosn't work. A tank crew is capable of firing a round every 7 seconds on average. even with slower traverse times for some tanks taking this to say 15 seconds a shot you ar elooking at 4/8.5- shots a minute.

I don't mid using engineers as core force because as long as they stay under the cover of the stugs they make a damm near unstoppable force. The satchel charges and flame throwers are also ideal for ambush situations.

Good to hear from another Stalingrad campaigner. I assume you're playing version 8.x? I'm sticking with 7.1 until I finish the campaign (or give up on it). [:D]<br/>

I deliberately chose NOT to optimize my core for city fighting, since 15 of the campaign's ...

<t> As RockingHarry suggests, I added a blank scenario to the the Bryan Melvin & Brent Richards Stalingrad campaign, although for a different reason. Since the campaign provides more than enough replacement points to rebuild the starting force twice over, I wanted to design my German core to allow ...

<r> I think vulkan has it right. In an "overrun" a tank doesn't "run over" anyone, it just closes to point blank range, exposing the enemy to much more effective fire. Note that overrun consumes both movement <B><s>[b]</s>and<e>[/b]</e></B> shots. I can just see a disarmed tank trying to overrun an ...
