not long now until my surrender!

my units are in retreat.. I Have nothing that will stop the panthers (I knew form the start that I had bought wrong and deployed badly)........

Sherman brews up under onslaught from Panthers. The southern outflanking maneouver seems to have ground to a halt... but I am sure there are more Germans around than what I can see.......

Viking, I have done the setup - where do you want the files sent. In essence the same as you did for Roland except you have German (and some Italians if you like) and I have Brits.... 10% arty, no air, no infiltrators, no prelaid mines........

Halftracks in the south force 2 m/c units to disperes, and only a desperate rearguard action manages to disperse the spec ops unit on my rear.I am hoping the incursion in the south will cause the Germaans to react to me - the north needs to be alleviated some how.....

<t> not to worry about the game crashing - and thanks for your honesty.....<br/>
<br/>
Ahhhh infiltrators in the rear - nasty... lets hope I can muster something to counter them.... <br/>
<br/>
This turn they are the ONLY unit I see. Its edging closer to a German push all along my line. I need ...

Viking.....

ME Brits - you??????? mid - late 44 (ie Western Europe)
3000 pts
10% arty
no air
1 platoon infiltrators (4 individual units)
no pre laid mines

I only have slot 3 full so pick a slot.....

<t> Turn 3...<br/>
<br/>
My remaining Crocodile manages to slow down 3 m/c recon units - not sure I will get another turn out of this.... all across my front I see infantry supported by armour - how many Panthers/Tigers will I have to take out.. I have counted at least 3 Panthers and 2 tigers so ...

Turn 2 - my recce units are being driven back by German infantry... desperately trying to get them some support

<t> Game setup by RolandRahn (Ger) vs my British. Usual restrictions on air, arty and infiltrators.... visibility of 4 (night time)<br/>
<br/>
German first turn - they lost a Kubelwagen and some recon was forced to withdraw...<br/>
<br/>
British First Turn<br/>
<br/>
Advanced recon units ...

<t> All, have been away from SPWAW for about 18 months so a) looking for someone to break me back in easily and b) need to know what the latest version is....<br/>
<br/>
If VikingNo2 is around I would like to play you as a re-introduction. You are always better than me but also willing to give me ...

<r>This is still something I need to learn. I try to buy what is appropriate for the scenario, and I even try to formulate a plan. But after about 3 turns that plan is dead (along with 30% of my troops), I find I missed something vital - like no infantry (well maybe not quite THAT extreme) or that I ...

<r><QUOTE author="rbrunsman"><s>[QUOTE=rbrunsman]</s>Several months ago, someone posted a website that went into detail about how PIATs worked. It was interesting reading and worth the search I think. There was a story there about the lowly PIAT having changed the course of WWII due to a brave ...

And I won't even get into the name's of some of the other SPA's (yes I will... Ho-Ne Type I and Ho-Ne Type II... sounds like an OSHA designation for occupational injuries ...

yes when you play them......I suppose I have had 1 game against you where I stopped you advancing all the way to the opposite edge!!!!

<t>have looked at modern OS maps but they have motorways on them (and the channel tunnel). Is there an historic OS website (will have another look at them anyway). Related to this - what scale is best to make translation to SPWAW easiest? For first scenario I am looking at a long thin map (sort of ...

<t>All, I am just beginning to look at scenario and am wondering if anyone has the address of any websites with historical maps or information. I am wanting to look at the invasion of Britain (obviously this makes it hypothetical) so the South East coast of England would be a starting point (and ...

<r><QUOTE author="Lars"><s>[QUOTE=Lars]</s>Hi Guys,<br/>
<br/>
I’m sorry to disappoint you all, but the setup is still not finished. <E>:(</E><br/>
I had hoped to finish it by now, but real life has had some serious interruptions. To top all this I’m now leaving for a couple of weeks to have my ...

I will have a match - any slot but 3,4 & 12. Will take Brits against whatever you want...any period, preferably NOT desert!!! 3k points, 10% arty, no air, no infiltrators?

I admit, I messed this up from the start - buying too many ATGs without checking the range......you live and learn
