<t>I have an old book called "Men against tanks" - a nice history of anti-tank weapons development. In it, it mentions one of the desperation tactics employed by the Japanese - the anti-tank weapon consisted of a 500lb aircraft bomb hidden in a pit in the road with a soildier and a hammer.... I have...

Just an observation: assaults on bunkers seem to work a lot better if your infantry unit doesn't move for the turn before it assaults.

<t>Lots of good advice. I'd add one thing that's been kinda touched on - you may get another chance to rally a unit after you move it's commanding unit close. I mean, C1 fails to rally and is out of contact with C0. Later you move C0 adjacent to C1, re-establishing contact. Voila - you can now try t...

<t>Fun topic. My favorites are mortars. I like battles that include infantry and infantry tactics, and mortars are perfect here. I always try to get some medium mortars - they are accurate enough that you can walk them in front of your infantry as they advance into a wooded or built up area, suppres...

<t>Oooh, I'm excited! <br/> <br/> I'd love to see an Italian campagn - I always thought it would make a good MC. I'd also love to see a France, 1940 campaign. France '40 has a lot of appeal for me - France and Britain had a lot of cool equipment, and a few times they gave the Germans a scare. Person...

HEy All,

Sorry about he double post - my computer locked, so I went to lunch and posted again when I got back - never thought that the first one got through. I did check a couple of my facts, though....

stay cool,

fud.

<t>The SCUD was originally one of the first Soviet battlefield tactical rockets. It only carried one warhead - HE, biological, chemical or tactical nuclear. Although SCUDS were included in the armories of Warsaw Pact nations, only the Soviets had the nuclear warheads to fit them. The SCUD1 had a liq...

<t>The SCUD was originally one of the first Soviet battlefield tactical rockets. It only carried one warhead - HE, biological or chemical. (I can't remember if SCUDS got tactical nuclear warheads - I'll check if I think of it.) The SCUD1 had a liquid fueled rocket - I think it was kerosene and liqui...

<t>Well, I'm back - maybe to eat a little crow. I just looked at all the various personal AT weapons that are available in SPWAW. While the bazookas are not the most powerful (the german weapons are), they have by far the greatest ranges. The M1 bazooka has a range of 6; the M9 bazooka has a range o...

<r>My computer locked when I was posting this reply - hope you don't get it twice.<br/> <br/> Personally, I find it all just about right. I'm glad that you can take out a careless Tiger/Panther/JS2/whatever - seems more realistic. I find that all the infantry AT weapons are pretty powerful - maybe i...

<t>I think your question has been answered, but I have a related one......<br/> <br/> How do you keep your infantry from assaulting a vehicle that drives next to it? I mean, there are often times when I wish my scouts or that sniper I hid would just stay put. Then some big tank drives by and they br...

<t>Here's a trick that sometimes works for me....<br/> <br/> Take a look at the percentages. If you fire at a unit that you have a very high likelyhood of hitting, chances are you will not fire all your weapons. Instead, pick one of the other units in the same stack that you have lower 'to hit' prob...

<t>Hi Capt. Pixel,<br/> <br/> Thank you for your post - some very useful information.<br/> <br/> I was wondering if you (or someone else) could comment about spotters.
