<t>Yep, I suppose if we want to see a new MC, we most certainly need to prove that's that our favorite DIY game is economically viable for Matrix. That means using that allmighty word of mouth (other wargamer or gamer forums for instance).<br/>
<br/>
BTW I'm having a real blast with Watchtower. The ...

<t>Ha, its funny life and its timing. Went last night to see a talk by the ancient Abraham Lincoln Battalion vet Abe Oserhoff. He talked about a little about his experiences in the later campaigns of 1938 some on his experiences at Belchite. <br/>
<br/>
Interesting stuff (if tragic), maybe it'll ...

<t>I started to design a campaign around the Battle for Madrid in winter 1936-1937 about 4 or 5 months ago but got bogged down for the very same reason as Redleg. All those tweakings especially with the effectiveness of infantry made for big playablity headaches.<br/>
<br/>
Still I have two mostly ...

<t>I am real partial to the T 34/85 like Gallo Rojo. It is indeed a great mix of speed and firepower.<br/>
<br/>
But you know for obscure tanks I have a special place in my heart for the <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> the Ram II. The 6lb gun is nice gun for those '42 battles especially for ...

<t>Yeah I've played around with these settings too. <br/>
<br/>
Currently have the AI set at 100 and still manage to kick its butt in random battles a good 90% of the time. It just adds more not really better.<br/>
<br/>
I think as a player you reach a "plateau" point after obessively playing this ...

<t>Wild Bill,<br/>
<br/>
No you're absolutely right. <br/>
<br/>
Went over to my dad's house yesterday and he had the 48 star flag for his uncle (my grand uncle) Edgar out. He was killed at Kesserine. He hadn't been in North Africa longer than a week they say and was killed almost immediately in the ...

You're welcome -- I guess.

The Army was always such a mixed bag for me.

While we're on music, here's a good link for free downloads of Red Army music:

Like-wise Gallo.

Madrid Campaign is moving as slowly as always. The rapid changes in from the many upgrades has caused hell (especially all the infantry tinkering) with my play balance so trying to work that out. I dunno if things go well it could be out in a couple of weeks. Maybe.

<t>Yeah it looks a little tough but I think its doable. The trick is as always play balance -- making it challenging without making it impossible. I'm assuming that the Soviets will go in a little beat up so won't design something that will utterly clobber a clear-thinking player.<br/>
<br/>
I like ...

<t>Hey all,<br/>
<br/>
Back from academic research land. The collective sounds very, very promising. Having lazily worked on a SCW campaign now since version 4.something I have to say I want something I can play too.<br/>
<br/>
If you're still looking for volunteers count me in. Battle 3 looks ...

Why not just use a custom map -- there are plenty very fine jungle and pacific theater maps out there? Personally, I never much cared for the random maps myself.

Yeah I would second that request. I've grown pretty partial to those Rams after the '43 Italy league and those little turrents look kinda silly.

<r>Well you know calling yourself a novice and aking for PBEM opponents is probably a lot like wearing a coat made up of steaks and entering a lions den. No doubt you'll soon be beseiged by challenges.<br/>
<br/>
No seriously though if you're up for a PBEM game (and its a far, far better challenge ...

What a cool surprise. As a kid I remeber one of the independent tv stations broadcasting the show late at night. Loved it.

God, ten years out of the army and my back and feet get tired just thinking about it...

Why make our poor cyber-comrades suffer? Already bad enough having to deal with my suicide orders

<t>I've seen the AI use smoke in a pre-planned artillery bombardment a few times. Can't say it has been particularly successful. <br/>
<br/>
Ususally the AI puts it down in mid points still forcing his troops to enter my line of fire. Sometimes it seems to fall at random points on the line which ...

<r>you can download the complete game I think at the underdogs website:<br/>
<URL url="http://www.underdogs.org"><s>[url="http://www.underdogs.org"]</s>www.underdogs.org<e>[/url]</e></URL> <br/>
<br/>
As far as game play goes well I would give it a 6 or 7 on a scale of 10. The AI is simply not very ...

Yep,
Definitely historically accurate, probably wasn't too infrequent. If we really wanted to be accurate we'd problem have more so-called friendly fire episodes in the game. Not much fun though.
