<r><QUOTE author="Irinami"><s>[QUOTE=Irinami]</s>...and other miscellenia who do not have the experience bonus (or aren't otherwise well-trained/experienced) usually turn out a bit the worse for wear.<e>[/QUOTE]</e></QUOTE>

Yeah, sometimes they just go SPLAT. Actual para's don't seem to suffer at ...

Maybe it has something to do with accuracy and exp. ratings.
I've had both 'z-fired' HE and and smoke rounds land in the wrong hex.
Doesn't happen often, but it get's worse with lower exp and morale.

<t>Looks good to me, with a few changes:<br/>
-AIR: yes, but no more than 1 section. With only 3000 points, more planes would would make for a dull game (just like too much arty does)<br/>
-Max 10% arty, both on and off board. (not counting <75mm tubes, ie light mortars)<br/>
-Limited ammo on.<br ...

You know, if there's going to be a european SPWAW-con, we could plan a visit to one or a couple breweries.
Looks like there's plenty of interest:)

<t>Ooh, forgot all about Hertog Jan. very close second, imo.<br/>
<br/>
Gulden draak (golden dragon) is Belgian and very, very tasty indeed. Only downside is, after gliding down your throat like smooth liquid velvet, it sinks all the way down to your legs.<br/>
Sneaky stuff, it gets you thunk faster ...

Hmm, Grolsch:)
Heineken, export or not, is...well, like having sex in a kajak.

Bel, ever met a Frysian? You'd have less trouble understanding him than the average dutch person would. Still a lot of viking bits floating around in the gene pool up there, I guess.

A few more shots traded with a T34. Lost a Stug in the proces, but the Russki is still there:mad:
Got one of those pesky 57mm though.

On the other side of the map a a kuebelwagen is confettied by a 122 shell. Better be careful out there.

The xxx corps tour gets my vote. If we can combine it somehow with MG's 60th anniversary, that would be perfect. Would require at least a week, but it would make for a nice holiday.

Well, I bought my forces, deployed most of them and when I went to assign arty targets, I noticed four little swastika's.
I was expecting la tricolore

Of course, if you feel you _need_ that advantage....:p

Ok, I think I'm ready for you, mr Viking.
10% arty, true troop on/rarity off, limited ammo, C&C off, no air, large map, 8-9000 points, max 1 plt infiltrators, middle-late war.
Any %limit on the secondary nation?

7.1. Don't have the disk space for another SPWAW:(
And I'll be playing Russians with an expanded lend-lease program.
Haven't played UK enough to know my way around the OOB.

<r>While we're on the subject, did you get the last turn I sent you?<br/>
It's the one where a Sturmovik nails a Sdkfz7/1 that doesn't shoot back <E>:D</E> <br/>
Haven't heard from you since:( <br/>
BTW I've got nothing planned Saturday night, we could try and finish our game by Sunday.<br/>
<br ...

<t>Shouldn't be too difficult to have some elite AA in your core by the time the Amis show up. 7/1's are available early in the war and don't really need to be upgraded (the exp dip when changing to eg. moebelwagen offsets the improved fire control, at least for the next couple of battles.)<br ...

It's the bloody 203's that're never there when you need them.:p

'Colonel, we have some news from the front, our tanks have managed to destroy some of the German armour, as well as some sp flak and mortars, and some mech infantry. Only minor losses, except for the motor recon, the Nazis seem to have a special dislike for them. '

<r>As Sentry apparently still can't log on, I'll be posting his reports.<br/>
Here's what turn 2 looks like from the German side:<br/>
<br/>
German army group advances slowly,meeting medium resistance.One famous T-34 is roasted but Pz-IV takes a hit too and looses optics.Squad of engineers loaded on ...

<t>A few miles east of Blodystok, colonel Sabotski is wondering what happened to the troops he sent out to investigate the gunfire in the west, when a lone motorcycle comes roaring to his command tent.<br/>
'Colonel, the Germans are coming! They killed my platoon, there's thousands of them, we're ...

<t>Russia (Black Sabot) vs Germany (Sentry)<br/>
8000 points.<br/>

August 1942, somewhere over Eastern Europe, Piotr punches his compass in frustration. Flying through the cloud tops, he 's hopelessly lost. For the millionth time he curses the workman who didn't qite tighten the little bolt ...

Viking, ask me again in two weeks, kinda busy until then.
(and, as I've been reading some of your DARs, I may need some time to come up with a battle setup that at least gives me a chance to eek out a minor defeat:rolleyes: )

You could try your local hospital.
Surely they have some leftover bits every now and then.
