RE: Battles In Normandy Goes Gold!

<r> Wargaming at present is expensive, no denying that. But I have to back up Pterrok's thoughts here regarding value for money. I bought for full retail and loved Wolfenstein, MoH, Call of Duty, Fontline etc in the last few years. They too were expensive. I loved them a lot and played them to death ...

On the question of how BiN AI is different to KP? It is more agressive for a start. In fact it is down right nasty <SM sm="00000023 ...

<t> TAO2 is/was great Sarge but TAO3 (included in Korsun) is better and I hear from a good source [;)] that TAO4 is even better again. Did anyone mention pontoons...?<br/>

TAO2 got me into this series and to be honest every iteration I have seen so far is better than the last, with the ...

I am not sure interest has dropped so much as people have drifted away from here a bit. If I am like others I'd like to spend time in 3 or so forums like I used to but I just don't have time these days (right now). So I tend to spend my time at on eforum and use the spare ...

RE: Artillery casualties in WWII

ORIGINAL: mavraam

The manual for KP claims that 80% of the casualties in WWII were artillery.

Mavraam could you point me to the spot in the manual that says this please? I can'r find it.

RE: Alert Reinforcements Death March

<r> I think Wallenstein is right in that the supply hex stopped supplying due to the location of the russian units, <I><s>[i]</s>at the end of the russian turn<e>[/i]</e></I>, and that the germans then arrive at an unsupplied location in their turn. I think the reinforce hex should perhaps have been ...

<r> Hi Balls2004 (nice nic[X(])<br/>
<br/>
I think this game is a good one to introduce you to the genre as to play it is fairly simple, mastering it is the hard part.<br/>
<br/>
The NATO symbols and issues like that are not necessary to know to play it, they simply provide more interesting ...

RE: AtD Russian AI: Defends in depth?

<t> Steve is absolutely correct about the VL's. This is where I think many people fall down in Dnepr. It is easy to feel comfortable as german because you are destroying maybe five-ten units a turn, but if you work that out that equates to only about 25-40 points each turn, and this will certainly ...

Great job on the graphic, really crisp and concise!<br/>

Is this defence in depth? To be honest, my understanding of defence in depth is to imply that a defensive line is continued for several kilomters to the rear, so that a ...
