<r>Yeah, I got MC-W....<br/>
<br/>
but I´m expecting it´s quality to be even above that of the former MCs, because it is short compared to MC-LV (for the same price). <br/>
LV is what, 200+ possible scenarios?<br/>
While MC-W is (still a respectable) 80 scenarios.<br/>
Quite a difference there eh ...

<t>Oh, by the way, WB, as an unscrupulous player I have, of course, tried the abovementioned method of backing up my campaign progress, but have been unsuccessful at it.<br/>
<br/>
What´s the correct subdirectory to back up?<br/>
I´ve tried the one under Megacam (save) (ie. backing it up and trying ...

<t>Good points, WB and Grumble.<br/>
<br/>
Now, like I said, I´m not bored by the MCs at all-oh no, that´s why I ordered all of them.<br/>
<br/>
However this was just a bit of positive critical feedback to keep in mind for future endeavors. Sure-it´ll take a lot of work and creativity to create ...

<t>No, no, don´t get me wrong, I love the MCs, it´s just that....ah..making history in historical games is what gives the game its "great flavor".<br/>
<br/>
And, I think that´s what reads in the MC title screen "Make history....or be history"<br/>
<br/>
Unfortunately we´re unable to do the former ...

<t>Hi, I´ve been having fun with MCDF, but now a thought occurred to me.<br/>
<br/>
I was really looking forward to taking Tobruk and continuing the drive to Egypt with Rommel, but alas it seems Rommel doesn´t get his jewel no matter how hard I try or how decisive victories I get in the key battles ...

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>If you surrender, you aren't holding terrain, or even falling back to hold some part of the line. You are - at best - marched off to POW camps - and, at worst, shot and left in a ditch <HR>[hr]</HR><e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

Nah, don´t think of as a surrender in the game world ...

<t>That´s only 4 battles into the campaign.<br/>
<br/>
I got DVs all the way up until the mission where you attack the town (Where the brits are in ambush and there´re lots of hidden vhexes)<br/>
<br/>
The draw there was deserved (although I came out ahead and thought I should have been more in the ...

<t>Looks like we have another, this time a bit more severe bug in our hands. <br/>
<br/>
It has cost me 4 victories (turned them into draws) in the MC already, at least two of which are definitely in error.<br/>
<br/>
I won´t be playing MCDF or the other two MCs until the problem is fixed....<br ...

<t>Ok, let´s see. I vas a bit vague.<br/>
<br/>
Ok, this happens in MCDF, like I mentioned in the second post (I really haven´t played the other, normal campaigns).<br/>
<br/>
What I´m talking about are the battles for Tobruk, for instance.<br/>
<br/>
In the first battle, I win c. 3200 v. 5700.<br ...

<t>Well, I think it´s time to move the men and resources towards getting CL done faster.<br/>
<br/>
I think I´ll be content with my 3 MCs, playing them will probably take a load of time (based on MC <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0"> F....which is huge. MCLV seems to be simply staggeringly huge ...

<t>Specifically, I mean that I do not get enough victory points for the victory hexes I´ve captured, never mind about scoring points for wiping out enemy units.<br/>
<br/>
The AI enemy, on the other hand, seems to be gaining some mysterious bonus points.<br/>
<br/>
This is true MC <img src="biggrin ...

<t>I´m wondering about the victory points received after a battle...For example, I hold a hex that gives me 50 pts a turn for the whole game, capture all the VLs and keep most of my force intact. My opponent does little.<br/>
Still, I very often get weird results, with me being only a thousand or so ...

*Gah*
*Arrrgh*

Phew, managed not to crack some silly dessert-jokes <img src="wink.gif" border="0">

Have a nice new year, folks!

<t>About this realism issue:<br/>
<br/>
No, the game isn´t totally realistic.<br/>
No game is.<br/>
<br/>
However, it´s not a question of being realistic/not being realistic at all .<br/>
<br/>
See, there are varying levels of realism.<br/>
<br/>
Closer to the other end we have games where entire ...

<t>Well, there it is from the horse´s (ahem, Paul´s <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> mouth.<br/>
Again requesting for specific data changes.<br/>
<br/>
You said it yourself: improve the armour of some of the russian tanks, and reduce the armour on some German models (due to the varying quality and ...

<r>All right. <br/>
<br/>
Back to the question at hand: what specific changes should be done?<br/>
<br/>
We now know that <br/>
a) Russian armor was lowered by 5-10 pts across the board<br/>
b)German armour got improved <br/>
c)Russian guns/ammo were weakened<br/>
d) German guns/ammo were improved ...

<r><QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Instead, why not do what irl tank commanders had to do. They couldn't say "Dear Uncle Joe, please give the T-34m40 an extra 2 mm armor over here." or "Hey, OKH, how about 8 more mm here." They had to use tactics to defeat the challenge.<br/>
<br/>
Can't kill something from ...

<t>Capt. Pixel.....please....Agh, best to leave it at that....<br/>
That goes for Warrior too...I´m sorry, but that is the sort of attitude I despise...If I want "just a game" I´ll go play one. <br/>
I know I have lots of them. For SPWAW I want something different.<br/>
The enjoyment does not come ...

<t>These people might have judged Steel Panthers from a perspective different from ours.<br/>
That´s the perspective of Joe Mundane who wants a fast free gaming thrill.<br/>
He does not consider PBEM or ordering Megacampaigns.<br/>
<br/>
Now, while SP does have playability with its "campaigns" and ...

<t>I was the first to hook up with Xeno (and was rather surprised that there wasn´t any more interest when I did) and I´d already like to publicly thank Xeno both for mine and Matrix´s sake. <br/>
Most of these orders (and those to come) would never have been made without him or others like him!<br ...
