Some questions on aircraft (Somewhat long)

<t>I have some questions about aircraft targeting in SPWAW 6.1. This came up last night when I ordered three Stukas to attack three separate hexes where I had determined that anti-tank guns were located, though as yet unseen. When the Stukas came onto the screen to start their attack run, they ...

As the son of a U.S. Army Air Corps sergeant who spent 14 months in Stalag Luft 1, I have no love for the Nazi party or their philosophy. In no way do I advocate Nazi ideology or anything they stood or stand for. But banning the display of the swastika in an historic context ...

SP 6.1 bug . . . it lets me cheat! (somewhat long)

<t>Howdy folks,<br/>
<br/>
While playing SP 6.1 MC, I think I&#8217;ve noticed a bug that lets me cheat a bit. I haven&#8217;t seen this particular bug posted before, so I thought I&#8217;d bring it up. This may or may not be old news to Matrix, if it is, then let this just be a confirmation. I ...

SPWAW play on a LAN???

Howdy SPWAW gurus,

I'm not quite set up for it at home yet, but can SPWAW be played head-to-head between 2 PCs over a local area network??? I didn't see anything on this in the manual, perhaps I missed it.

How about "The Boys in Company C"? c. 1980?. Kinda depicted the grunts life (and death) amid the crazyness that was Viet Nam. Or am I getting my flicks mixed up? After reading WB's list, its hard to realize that there have actually been that many VN movies made.
