<t>Tried it with two ranger sections, some rocket batteries and mortars, 4 shermans and 4 TD's, m10's. First battle lost 83 inf, and 7 tanks. Axis lost 200 inf, 7 APC's, 20 AFV's. I only lost one tank, till the Panzer V's showed up and wiped out my force. How can I compete? I mean they had a lot of ...

<t>How do I select forces? Like in Utah to the Rhine it seems you need mostly armor.. Is that all I should take? But it always seems I get over ran by tanks.. especially in the long road to victory.. Is that like utah to the rhine, but longer? Also, watchtower, that is guadalcanal only? And in ...

<r>I was wondering if someone could suggest a good campaign for me? I'm playing US/USMC, trying to find one that will go from Africa, through Omaha and all the way to berlin, and a USMC that will start at Guadal Canal and go all the way to Iwo Jima. Theoretical invasion of Japan wouldn't hurt either ...

Well I just wanted to play mplayer where both sides pick their forces.. A player is playing me PBEM and he has a scenario, USMC vs. Japan.. Advance on manilla.. I think we both got to chose our own forces.

<t>Is there a way to select your core forces in a scenario? I mean if your designing a scenario how can you set it so you pick your force? Or can you modifiy scens to allow you to select your scenario? Also, when designing a map I had a problem trying to add more than one VP. It just moved the ...

<t>Yeah, left side VP they control from start seems to be the most valuable. 4250 total at end of battle... So I loaded up and went after it first turn. Takes 4-5, turns to even get there.. Land on the beach and start taking fire from inf. Now I had lost one or two vehicles to sniper fire.. Landed ...

<r>Can't find that post Chpo, went back to page 14.. First time I bought almost nothing but infantry with a little armor and some arty.. I got about half the airfield and ended in a draw. Second time i used someones suggestion. 6 tanks, 2 comps of infantry, some engineers and lots of trucks for them ...

<t>Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Still trying to beat the first mission in the LRTV campaign.. Those air strikes nearly ahnilate my forces every time.. Even with flak guns standing by. And I had like four TD's against 10 of those french tanks? Plus the PZ's at the end.. It just seems I'm ...

<t>I just started playing these missions.. I haven't been able to beat the first one so far.. I bought the recommended troops. Two companies of raiders and a platoon of engineers I believe is what it was. WHen I went to support I bought as many amphibious landing craft as possible. 7 or 8, was able ...

Also, you seem to know this stuff well. Post your email or ICQ and when you're not busy sometime show me some of these tactics in a two player game. I'm playing one now in the pacific, practice helps.

So your best tip for attacking from the west is prayer? <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Also, when you cross the airfield... Will tanks and trucks detect mines before you enter the hex or should you unload your roops and walk it?

Don't caves have to be destroyed from the front? I mostly saw those fighting the japs. Their bunkers are a real pain, you can't scare them out, you have to destroy it... And I see your point.. I just have a bad habit of rushing units forward to fast to kill an enemy.

<t>Yeah, I've seen that done.. Most lucky but three of my TD's slaughtered hoards of panzers. Nice 3inch at guns. As far as trucks, you won't have enough infantry, when it comes down to cities and the airfield you need a lot, you can't send tanks in their safely.. The airfield I hated most of all ...

<t>If you lose or have draws in battles do you have to go on extra scens or is it setup to go that way no matter what the results? I was on the first mission in Sicily, the attack on the city and the ridge behind it. Only 15 turns.. Paratroopers landed on the ridge, but couldn't hold long enough ...

<t>Thanks for the tactics.. I'm right now on the mission in sicily where you attack the town.. Now town fighting is especially bad, you can't see anything until you're right up on it.. So i'm just rushign it with mass infantry.. Now with the PZ4's, I'm using mostly M10 Wolverines to kill them, but ...

Wolves are always unavailable when I choose my core force. Also, any suggested approaches on the airfield? I'm trying to beat it with all victory locations. But those Air strikes knocked out a lot of my infantry.

<t>Also remember that when you take some fire your tank buttons up. That means instead of the commander standing with half his body out of the hatch looking around, the crew only has a very small slit to look through. Makes it nearly impossible to see anything that isn't right infront of you in the ...

Oh, and couldn't find armored cars, closest thing I saw was a jeep. You mean the GMC's?

<t>Maybe I'm not using them correctly.. I had two company's, trucks, 5 shermans, 3 TD's and two stuarts. Plus artillery. They infiltrated to the back of the air field.. Where they ran into troops and lost.. Bazooka's and Mg's are moving in from the front with the engineer platoon. Bought trucks for ...
