<t>I'm interested in the question from two standpoints though. The first revolves around determining the number of victory points a player gets. I just think a player should get the same number of victory points if he kills a tank plus its crew as he would get if he killed the tank and then had to ...

<t>That would be my assumption, but you should also get those same kills if you kill the crew at the same time you knock out the tank. As an example, let's say I have two tanks as targets for an AT gun. Each tank has a four man crew. I knock out the first one and the crew escapes. I knock out the ...

<t>Can someone answer a question for me about casualties? I think I know the answer, but I'd just like to verify. Do the crews of tanks/AT guns/etc. get added to the list of men lost in the end game casualty report or is the crew considered inherent to the weapon? In other words, if I lose a tank is ...

<t>I've never played ASL, but I've spent 25 years playing SL, CoI, CoD, and GIAoV (Squad Leader players will know what those are). The reason I stumbled on SP a bunch of years ago was because I wanted a computer version of those games. Obviously SP is FAR more detailed than any board game could ever ...

<t>Thanks for all the responses guys. As was previously mentioned more than once, I guess my way of looking at things will be purely based on the point totals from now on. I fully agree that it's a great game. I've been playing it since SP first came out in its original form quite a number of years ...

<t>I guess the point I'm trying to make is that I already know I'm not an expert at this game yet. That is not the issue. As a newbie I expect to lose until I've taken the time to learn the nuances of the game. Problem is, I don't lose or win. I just feel the range (from 1-3 to 3-1) for draws is too ...

<t>"Maybe all those other games werent as good as spwaw. If you win most of your games would you be happy. Not me i would soon quit it. The losses and the draws is what makes me try harder. Obviously your tactics are not good enough in SPWAW to do more then a draw."<br/>

The first sentence in ...

<t>So it doesn't seem odd to anyone but me to have a game where a large percentage of the battles are considered draws? I've played Panzerblitz, Panzer Leader, Squad Leader, and many other wargames thousands of times. In all my 30+ years of wargaming I have played only a handful of draws - until ...

<t>I understand I'm not the next coming of Erwin Rommel yet, but I'm asking why the huge draw region from a mathematical standpoint? Since my guess is a large percentage of my games (I only play the historical scenarios) end up somewhere in that 1 to 3 to 3 to 1 range, a large percentage of ...

<t>I understand what the victory requirments are, I'm just frustrated at why they're where they're at. I played a scenario a couple nights ago where I clearly won. I controlled all the objectives and killed a lot more of the enemy than he did of me. The victory point margin was 2.75 to 1. To me it ...

Nope. And I think I've used the help function that defines what all the keys on the keyboard do. I don't remember seeing anything that says hold down the "shift" key so a unit can enter the same hex as another unit. Maybe it's there but I must have just missed it.

My problem was the fact I couldn't figure out how to get two units to occupy the same hex so I could do the loading. Now that I've been told the secret I'm good to go. Thanks.

I knew it would be something simple like that. Thanks.

<t>This may be a stupid question, but is there a simple way to load infantry into halftracks/trucks/etc.? The only way I know how to do it now is to highlight the infantry unit that needs loading to see it's movement radius, move the transport unit to the farthest edge of the infantry units radius ...

<t>A couple quick topics from an SPWaW rookie. First, why so many draws? 99% of the scenarios I play end in draws. There's no fun in that. If the case is as someone mentioned when he said "Even though the game says it's a draw, you know who really won", then why isn't the real game scoring done ...

I'm using V7.1. Prior to playing this version I just played the original version of SP, so I'm not aware of all the differences in the two.

<t>I read the message string Jim listed and I have one more question: Does the bailout option also work for AT guns/artillery? I played a game a couple nights ago where an AT gun malfunctioned and I couldn't figure out a way to separate the crew from their useless gun. Thanks for all your help guys ...

<t>OK, so all I can do is have the crew sit at their weapon and wait?<br/>
<br/>
I have another question that is essentially the opposite of my first question. If a crew is in an immobilized vehicle or at a gun that has no ammo left, is there a way I can have them bail out and go do something else ...

<t>How does one perform this special morale check or is it something unseen by the player? I've never seen a crew do anything out of the ordinarry of any other infantry unit. I've seen many of them recover, but they mostly just mill around and provide targets for the enemy. Also, how do you reman a ...

<t>Does anybody know why if a crew abandons a vehicle or field gun that they can't rejoin the battle after they've sufficiently recovered? Is it because there are a minimum number of crew members required to man a tank/field gun and the assumption is that once they've abandoned their post the ...
