<t>I agree that limited ammo ON makes for another dimension in the game. OTH, there are aspects that seem unrealistic as a result of this setting, particularly with artillery.<br/>

In many actual WWII battles, artillery should have in effect unlimited ammo, particularly with US / Allied units ...

<t>All of the previous posters have given good advise. <br/>
<br/>
I would add that using flamers after a heavy artillery bombardment is another good tactic, particularly against infantry units. In this case, the targets are usually so supressed by the arty that they will not op fire when you move ...

lotsa artillery....especially rockets....targeted on your axis of advance will do the trick. The arty will suppress and kill and also act as a smoke screen.

do a search on arty to find all the excellent previous threads.

I used these ANZAC 2 man flamethrower units for quite a while.

My conclusion is that they are too expensive for the damage they deal out. You would be better served by US Marine FT, Indian FT, or brit/marine Mech FT (wasp/tank) units instead.

rockets, esp brit land mattress and usa 4.5"
also heavy ob arty

You can also use arty to 'find' and remove mines, in combination with other units, and in this way minimize casualties caused by 'recon by death' BOOM:D

if the tank clears mines like engineers, you can 'aim' the tank at the adjacent hex, set it to 'clear mines in front of unit' and it will clear mines in the adjacent hex.

I just fire mech flamethrowers into a hex to clear it if I have these AFV....its faster.

umm, are you sure? seems like it has a standard default, and when you click one of the options and change the default, it just changes it back to the default when you perform the sequence you describe.

lets try an example...enlighten me !

yep, couldn't agree more. I mentioned how I would model it in SPWAW, being a programmer, I know it's possible, and agree its not going to happen.

who knows what kind of spagetti code it is now, considering it's history.
