Defense against infiltrators, paradrops and gliders?

<t>How do you think one should defend against attacks of the above type?<br/>
<br/>
My own tried-and-true method has been to buy a few Flammwagens or other flametanks as a reserve to be used in the final stage of the battle. Meanwhile, they are also highly effective against lightly armed ...

<t>In the first pbem I ever played, my Gebirgsjägers (or geburtstagjägers, as my opponent called them) were an important part of my plan. And it worked. My idea was to infiltrate them in the rear areas, and if possible take the eastern victory hexes. It didn't work out, but still it tied up his ...

<t>Hello,<br/>
<br/>
Last night, I played my first pbem-game ever with H2H. I have to say it rocked. <br/>
<br/>
And for the wishlist, it has been said earlier, but it would be nice if the odd stuff for the Germans in the Czech OOB could be bought. Also, how about including some railroad guns ...

<t>I don't think that penetration is really a problem regarding these big guns. I talked to a guy who has been in the Finnish Cadet School (sort of a Finnish West Point) and he once observed direct-fire trials with 122mm and 155mm field guns against old T-55 tanks. <br/>
<br/>
A shot from a 155mm ...

Dumb question about maps

<t>Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I've been planning with a couple of my friends to play a few pbem games. Now, I have a question: what maps do you vets consider to be good for pbem games? I've downloaded most maps off the forum, including the ones in the competition, and I've found most to be good. <br/>

The first real gaming I did with C&C on was that Balkan Crisis campaign, which I found very fun to play. Playing with C&C on forces you to plan your attack or defense, and also it gives all those nice recon units something to do.

Also, I've noticed that cavalry is good in river crossings. They don't like getting into the rubber boats together with horses, so they just swim right over.

To exploit this feature against a human opponent isn't really fair, though.

Two questions about Possum 5.0

<t>Greetings,<br/>
<br/>
Last time I played this version of the better-than-original WiR, I noticed that there is in Norway (upper left corner of map) two odd things. First there is an invisible city called "dummy" which gives resources and oil to the Soviet side. <br/>
<br/>
Then there is a German ...
