<t>All the guys that have spoken out against hex based games have made good points, but there is one point that has been overlooked.<br/>
Love them or hate them but hex/turn based games have developed into a game genre in their own right.<br/>
Ok, they came about by necessity in pre computer days ...

Ok Guys, this isn't a too serious thread.
What I want to know is. What the hell was the idea behind calling a bazooka a bazooka!!!?

Actually guys. You all have it wrong. Thiis is a Red Cross photo of a bunch of poor souls who have developed TankFoot! Apparently Northern Allience Medics are desperatly trying to discover the M1A1 strain of this ailment!

<t>You know. Up until a couple of weeks ago. I might have agreed with you that rifles were 'underpowered' But not now! You just have to use realistic infantry tactics. Cover and covering fire! Pour as much lead in as you can, not to kill, but to keep their heads down, while you move in guys under ...

<t>Other points you ned to take into account are things like;<br/>
If the tank's buttond up, the commander cannot fire the AAMG, unless its remort controlled as with the Hertzer. The co-ax gun as a rule is mounted on the same elevation spindle as the main gun, that is, it uses the same elevation ...

<t>Look at it this way. You are the Platoon leader. Your troops are spread about, you need to call in your section leaders, brief them on the next objective, give them time to get back to their sections and organize their lads. If they've gone into a defensive position, any heavy weapons will need ...

<t>I think for me the testomony of this game is that, if you read most of the threads you will see people discussing most game problems in real life terms, for example the discussion on the use of recon units.<br/>
A hex/turn based game will always have artificial bounderies, but for me SPWaW, has ...

Count me in too Red. A great idea. I enjoy driving, so would probably drive there, going via teh North Sea Ferry to Holland. So if there's anybody else in the UK, or Holland who'd like the idea, I'll be up for a car share if you are interested.

Hej!
In my oppinion you guys are in for a treat!

<t>Ok then. Lets get the ball rolling then. <br/>
First of all. Would you guys at Matrix be willing to set up a forum for people with game ideas and wanting to get involved. Of course it is on the understanding that this is an informal group, which niether represents Matrix, nor comits Matrix in ...

<B><s>[b]</s>I always hesitate to throw the 'B' word around but in this case i do have to wonder. For me it rarely shows up but a few battles ago in my current campaign i did see a Finnish Ski platoon armed with rifles (pen value '0') take ...

<t>Perhaps the Ai is programed to response to the 'spotted '*' asterisk' If you are playing with it on, I suspect that a lot of players will dismount to make a more cautious approach on foot when it appears, so why not have the computer AI coded to do the same thing?<br/>
If that is the case, does ...

<t>What we have here is a vast pool of experience. I'm sure that there are many players with game ideas, from the briefest grem if an idea, to an almost fully developed game, but perhaps know diddly squat about programming.<br/>
What is needed is perhaps a forum to bring people together, so people ...

That easy! Thanks guys

Greetings fellow cavalryman (a shame they got rid of the horses though <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> ).<br/>
<br/>
It is as you say, THE most commonly used recon tactic to pop smoke and bug out if you come ...

I've looked through the manual, and am sure I've probably looked at what I want to know but can I as hell find teh info I need.

How the hell do I set a hex up as an entry area for troops entering the battle after turn one?

Any help will be greatfully appreciated!

Thanks Marcus. I was getting combat leader mixed up with the Close Assault game!

Cheers for the link1

<t>Damned good reply Vejgaard!<br/>
<br/>
I think the only thing that I would add to that, from my own experiences in armoured recon. I s that when you come under fire the default action should be to 'bug out'. Even if you don't spot the shooter, the lads have done their job by provocing a responce ...

<t>Hi Guys.<br/>
I was just wondering if you guys at Matrix have any plans for producing a new game to replace Steel Panthers? That is a regimental/battalion level turn based war game covering some aspect of the 20th Centurary?<br/>
I know that you guys are busy with other projects, and that even if ...
