<t> Another tactic that can be used is to intentionally bail out of a vehicle. <br/>
<br/>
What this does is make it so that your opponent can't destroy the vehicle from a distance. It also won't show up as an enemy in sight. Then, when the danger is past, reboard the crew by staying in the same ...

Im like mine field what do you mean windowed. Or wont run in windows. I have no problem with it at all. If you mean with somehting else running on your comp at the same time i understand that. But i never have anything else running anyways.

<t> Yes, I should have mentioned carronades. They came in sizes of 18, 24 and 32 pdr as well. USS Constitution carried 24's for instance IIRC, or maybe they were 18's and just her long guns were 24's. However, carronades are sort of in a class by themselves. Almost like a cross between a mortar and ...

Again, I had a huge collection of miniatures, JD. They were all 1/285 scale, from varius producers, mainly GHQ.<br/>
<br/>
I had collected them over a period of 10 years. All were handpainted, with MGs, even antennas attached. I had ...

<t> A little bit more info for this topic. <br/>

As somebody else said, much of this probably goes back to black powder days when the size of the gun was given as the weight of solid shot it fired. A rail-mounted swivel gun could be a 1- or 2pdr. Most field guns were 4 pdr and some were 8pdr ...

<t> Gee, that's so true to life. I remember once getting to fire a 7.62mm bipod mount on full auto. The target had been at 200 yards when we were using semi-auto and I got a high score so when the Sgt. moved us to targets at 100 yards and told us to use full-auto, I thought it'd be a snap. A big ...

<t> ABP is Artillery Board Plotter. I doubt if it's a Canadian term exclusively although it may be a Commonwealth term (Br, Cdn, Aus, NZ) and not used in the US artillery.<br/>
<br/>
Basically, it's the guy who plots where the target is on the map and directs the guns how to aim. I'm quite ...

As far as stupid orders, I guess the units are only as smart as the commander. I see what you mean about them always taking the path of least movement points. I am learning to watch for unexpected detours. Wasn't expecting a kuebelwagen to ...

Second, don't underestimate the Power of the ÜberKübelwagen. In a battle I had vs. Goblin once, one of his army beetles kept an entire platoon of my Russians in check ...

<t> Welcome aboard mine_field.<br/>

With regards to the stupid movement that sometimes the units take, keep in mind that they will usually take the path of least resistance - with the programming, not in the real life representation of the map.<br/>

For a unit that goes off the road ...

I can't speak for everyone, but I think a lot of us have noted that the fire is accurate enough with an FO that isn't sighting anything. Destruction of a sighting FO can be rather high, and if you're campaigning that's a big no-no. In my ...

<r> There's so much AT and AAA fire that it's impossible for the Polish AC's to take revenge for their fallen scouts. <SM sm="Christo_pull_hair.gif">[sm=Christo_pull_hair.gif]</SM> They do manage to pounce on the infantry group that finished off the crewmen who abandoned another AC that ran afoul of ...

<t> ABP is Artillery Board Plotter. In WWII times, the ABP was the guy who directed the guns where to aim. He rode in a seperate truck which was parked about 50 metres from the guns with all the officers and radios.<br/>

The AB was a whiteboard, a bit less than a metre square, with grid ...

<t> The recon Poles in the south got planted in the snow.[:@] After going to ground from AAA fire, they got kicked when they were down by a Sdkfz and his band of merry men. Three Staghounds went out to even the score but they couldn't hit the broadside of a HT. The Romanian infantry started running ...

I liked many things about SPWW2 over SPWaW. The bigggest is that the game engine is based on the 50 metre hex size and not a 200 metre hex size inherited from SP3 that SPaW is based on. I like VCR in SPwaw better than the one in SPWW2 and ...

I have had similar problem with rarity, had a battle where I could by infantry[&:] So I do what Goblin does and try to buy a good mix and don't get to wild. If I play someone with a wild mix so be it I just try to overcome it, if its a gamey mix ...

<t> I tried and tried to kill off those three Routed T34's but my Tough Romanians couldn't hit a one. <br/>

Three T34's were surrounded by the Romanians and seemed to be so confused by the multitude of targets that they couldn't make up their mind which ones to kill first, (there must have ...

<r> The RuFinno forces get a quick start out of the gate by taking all the available VH's. However, a couple of 75mm ATG's are seen by CAPO recon and targeted by the guys in the black coveralls. <br/>

Whatever they took the northern VH's with was too scared to stick around though and they ...
