RE: Can't shift arty fire ?

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Goblin<br/>

The observer you are using to shift the fire in is too far back. Use a closer observer, like the platoon leader. For some reason the game equates the distance from the FO as the weapon range while calling fire. If the FO is 46 hexes from the ...

RE: Ammo dumps vs. Ammo Carriers

<t> There are only three sources of ammo supply: Dumps, Carriers, Boxes. (all others are imitations)<br/>
A unit waiting for rearmament must be in the hex adjacent or in the same hex as the ammo supply.<br/>
Neither the rearming unit or the the ammo supply unit may move during the turn, and both ...

RE: Good scenarios for newbies

"A Meeting of Devils"

The Germans and the Brits have a simultaneous airdrop around a vital bridge. Hilarity ensues.
It's small, plays fast and, due to the randomness of airdrops, emminently replayable.

One of my favorites (but no armor. [:(] )

Use mortars or light artillary (75mm works well) to pin down enemy targets. The plot rockets onto their posistion. Since they can move the delay isnt the big of a problem.

I last communicated with Buzzard about a week ago. He said he had some real life issues and a move to deal with, but that everything was okay.

I prefer small caliber AA as they tend to fire more often than the big stuff. They may not get that Kill, but if they hit at all, that aircraft isn't coming back. Just shooting at the A/C is enough to bugger their ...

RE: Have I missed something about AT weapons?

<t> IME, it's the Soviet tanks that are the most likely to survive that up-close shot. I suspect it's because of their extremely sloped armor. If a T-34 gets adjacent to you, you have a real problem on your hands. Tigers, and even Pershings, will glance shots off a T-34s sloped armor.<br/>

RE: Abandoned vehicles

<t> After they've bailed, set their range to '0'. This should allow them to 'disappear' and make them less likely to draw fire. This is always a good idea. Especially when the crew bail without any weapons or smoke.<br/>

They need to be in the same hex as their abandoned vehicle. Crews will ...

He's my partner - and even I don't know what he means by ABP. Context told me that he was referring to the FO (Forward Observer).

ABP must be a Canadian term? [&:][8D]
