<t>In one game recently, I had German VG who would throw their raft in the water but then not "get in" themselves. What is worse, is that the rafts could then be moved all over the map without restriction (except I could not get them back across the water) and would reveal enemy units with no ...

<t>I dont remember where I got this info, perhaps the manual??<br/>
<br/>
ACC refers to the range in hexes at which the unit has at least a 50% chance to hit or greater based on the weapon that is its main gun. Anything over this range will have less base chance of success. In the OOB editor this ...

Thanks. Believe me, the manual is always the first place I look but I was only to find a short bit on page 159 about it in the FAQ. Must have just skipped over the point you mentioned.

Surrendering..what gets counted?

When someone surrenders in mid game to get the current score, are the victory objectives counted in the surrendering players score? What is or is not counted?

This is in a PBEM game.

Thanks.
Merry Xmas, Ver 7.0 is here!!

C&C is on in all of our games. Thats the only way to play IMHO.

Yes, they were T-34 m43's and it hadn't shot yet in the game so it must have used APCR ammo for the Tiger kill.

Here is an update:<br/>
In the current battle the Soviet armor finds itself with very little infantry support due to the well placed German artillery; 150mm and 75mm.<br/>

<t>Let me clarify if I may. These are PBEM games I am talking about here. Not against the AI, which in my opinion isnt nearly as challenging. I would veture to say we are pretty good at this game but neither of us has won against the other if we are playing GE v SO. Germany is always seriously ...

SO v GE. How can GE beat SO?

<t>Ok, my battle bud and me have played this game for nearly a year now and everytime we play Germany vurses Soviet Union the Germany player (either of us) gets a beating. We have played the other Allied armies and they seem more balanced against Germany. The years we have played include 1941, 1942 ...

<t>If you are modifying the Oob then you should be aware of a super weapon built into the game you might want to fix. In the Anzac OoB, the weapon #178, 30 cal CMG (x2), slot #3 on the Lee Mk II has an HE kill factor of 120!!! This Infantry killer can wipe out full squads in one shot. It is also the ...

<t>These factors may be represented in the "Survive" rating of the tanks. The Stuart has a miserable 2 Survive rating while the Grant has an average 3. What this means is that they are rather easily destroyed by penetrating hits with a lower survivability of the crew. You can, of course, edit these ...

OP fire setting, how does it work?

<r>The OP fire preference is a bit odd. What percentage equates to what was standard on previous versions? 100%?<br/>
Do I understand it correctly that it cannot be lowered by more than 30%?<br/>
If I lower it to 50% does this mean it will OP fire half as often as it used to?<br/>

About getting the units to show up...
I have had to change the rarity to "less rare" to get things to show up sometimes. If it is set to 3 then usually dropping it to 2 will do the trick. The tip about using an existing formation then changing the details works well too.
