<r>Hopefully this forum will see use and not be forever barren, so I thought that perhaps a start was in order.<br/>
<br/>
In my experience, the bulk of a game's strength, as it pertains to the community, is held by those who play in multiplayer. While this observation might not hold as much truth ...

For PBEM players, to meet and organize games.

Since you have already established 3 subforums, the idea of another cannot be sooo outlandish (hopefully)

I think that it reduces suppression by a set amount to all units within radius at the end of the turn, like entrenchments do. (Entrenchments reduce supression by 15 i think.) I am not certain if this reduction comes before or after the units autorally.

<r>It looks really interesting, I wouldn't mind trying it either, although I have never played PBEM before.<br/>
<br/>
If there is anyone else who would want to give it a try, send me a message at <EMAIL email="mentant98@hotmail.com"><s>[email]</s>mentant98@hotmail.com<e>[/email]</e></EMAIL>. As I ...

I have noticed this as well in my replacement squads: the leader no longer has a rank before his name although I have yet to find a squad who has no name for their leader either.

I am also running with all the latest patches.

<t>Yeah, when I first played it, I took the option to continue without waiting, and I didn't see any tanks. With the other option though, about 6 T-35s arrive as reinforcements somewhere around turn 6 or 7 or so. They attacked my centre from the road to the north of the NCO school.<br/>
<br/>
<br ...

<r>Just wanted to add that the T-34 problem also occurs in the 2nd mission "An Early Decision" if you select to wait for reinforcments.<br/>
<br/>
In addition, I recived a moderate victory and a decisive vic for the first 2 missions and was sent to "A Vital Bridge", however the battle map still ...

I am just curious as to what the other 9 "Top Ten" rules of tank survival are, just for my personal enrichment.

Sry, but I really don't know the answer to your question. I have always assumed that tanks in cover had hull down, but never really checked up on it.

<t>I thought that the reason for the ski troops acting as they do was because the OOB treats them like a truck, or some other light vehicle (which is how they have such good movement)<br/>
<br/>
Since trucks can't clear mines or pop smoke, the ski troops can't either... <br/>
<br/>
I am no authority ...

<t>I have applied both patches, but unfortunatly, having never played LV before, I cannot say for certain if the sound patch worked or not. I believe that for one of the first missions (Reconaissance to Radichiow (sp?) ) the flavor text said that Vebber was listening to the song "Deutche Lied im ...

I think that if you hit F1 in the game you get a list of all the hotkeys, and F2 gives you a chart of all the terrain effects, in case you dont want to print out the manual.

<t>Yeah, I had something like that happen to me a couple of times in the past. Now I disable satchel charges and other such weapons if I know that I'm going to use them for demolitions. Of course then I usually am given an opportunity to close assault some tank during opfire when I have them ...

<t>A unit being in contact is only vitally important if you are playing with Command Control on. A unit remains in visual contact with its superior command (ie the squads in a platoon are subordinate to the platoon leader who is represented by a number in brackets, or a + if its an armoured ...

<t>I just wanted to say how much I'm looking forward to playing LV. Thank you so much for doing such a great job. I am also curious to know if MC-W is the last MC that Matrix is going to create. While I understand completely if Matrix must concentrate all their efforts on Combat Leader, I remember ...

<t>When I first got into computer games, the first game that I played, (other than Doom) was the World at War series from Avalon Hill (Operation Crusader, Stalingrad, and D-Day America Invades). At the time I didn't know the designation of that genre to be one of "Wargames".<br/>
<br/>
I have since ...

<t>I like small/medium scenarios... big big scenarios with tons of units end up annoying me for some reason.<br/>
<br/>
I like historical missions, but reasonable hypotheticals are always fun too.<br/>
<br/>
I dont have to win in order to have fun on the mission. (In fact I usually assign myself ...

<t>Yes thank you, very informative. I was rushing the recon forward too fast. (The scenario in which I was playing though was only 12 turns long, so speed is of some issue but doesn't require such suicidal tactics.)<br/>
<br/>
The overwatch is a necessity... just a matter of me getting more familiar ...

<t>I am fairly new to this game, and am having problems efficiantly conducting recon operations.<br/>
<br/>
Whenever I try to actively seek out the enemy, my recon forces always end up taking heavy casualties, even though I do my best not to become engaged and tied down.<br/>
<br/>
Recently, I have ...
