<t> Watch the level of combat bonus your staff has.<br/>
<br/>
As your HQ becomes responsible for more and more units, they get stretched pretty thin, and their bonus diminishes.<br/>
<br/>
You have to determine what level of staffing you wish to have---and pay for!<br/>
<br/>
Consider also ...

<t> I tend to agree with the others here.<br/>
<br/>
The excellent AI MUST be thorough, otherwise, why play the game?<br/>
<br/>
Multi-tasking is exactly that. Pick up a book on the Second World War. Watch Sports Center. Pay attention to the significant other. Call your mom. Pet the cat. Pet ...

<t> Heh heh...that game would last 5 years, with individual turns taking HOURS towards the end.<br/>
<br/>
I'm not kidding here. I played a 100 x 100, and was able to read an entire novel waiting for the computer to finish its turn, over the course of the game.<br/>
<br/>
This is fine...I ...

<t> Oh yeah! I LOOOOOVE my arty.<br/>
<br/>
Give me a nice big stack of artillery, behind the front lines, with another nice stack of AA mixed in with them.<br/>
<br/>
Whatever stack I want to seriously mess up, I hit with my bombers, then artillery, and then mop up.<br/>
<br/>
If you are ...

Thanks for this forum!

I had 120 engineers, through woods, and I thought I would be able to build more than one road section per turn.

This thread explains PERFECTLY how to use them.

The ability to test a design out on the battlefield...by specifically taking it out onto the battlefield.

More in depth campaign game, using a dynamic mission generator. Once these missions have been completed, then this will severely limit the replayability.

<t>I should have made myself more clear.<br/>
<br/>
I ONLY choose single titan, recon class, duel.<br/>
<br/>
This guarantees me a recon titan....easier to learn with.<br/>
<br/>
Now, after 16 matches (32 total titans):<br/>
Pike: 6 times<br/>
Quantum: 6 times<br/>
Wasp: 5 times<br/>
Badger: 4 ...

<t>I have decided, in my own methodical way, to play a duel with Recon titans until I have figured out the system.<br/>
<br/>
I started this morning, and have played 8 matches, with a total of 16 titans. (8 for me, 8 for the computer)<br/>
<br/>
I have designed only a couple of titans, and so ...

OK, I just had one of those magic moments....

I have not, to this point, considered power units when designing my titans.

Oops.

I mean, I HAD, but only in the sense of looking at the top speed.

Hmmm....back to the drawing board!

<r>After a careful and thorough analysis of all the weapons in the game, I would like to share a teeny tiny bit of it with the forum.<br/>
<br/>
I rank ordered every weapon in the game for the following parameters:<br/>
<br/>
a) Damage done per ton of weight<br/>
b) Damage done per heat generated ...

<r>As the main recipient of Margas terrific post, I would like to add a few things.<br/>
<br/>
I now have the system down pat...only took another hour or so of play after her instructions.<br/>
<br/>
After you finish giving attack instructions, whether it is to recycle weapons, or wait until a ...

Thanks for your prompt replies.

This is a very good game, very deep.

<t>Thanks for your answers<br/>
<br/>
From the manual:<br/>
Flares: "...designed to elude heat guided missiles..."<br/>
<br/>
What are the heat guided missiles? Can't find the info anywhere.<br/>
<br/>
The book also say that both shields and ECM attract energy guided missiles. Are the G.M.E. the ...

<t>First let me say that this is a wonderful game, I am having a great deal of fun.<br/>
<br/>
I do have a couple of questions, as they pertain to titan design.<br/>
<br/>
The manual is not clear as to what are the benefits of shields, ECM, or flares.<br/>
<br/>
Which specific defensive techniques ...

Marga, you're a genius.

Your response to my question was exceptional, for its clarity and brevity.

I would strongly encourage the board moderators to "sticky" your response.

I shall print out your response, and laminate it.

Thanks again.

<t>After discovering this game on Friday, and buying it yesterday, I am in the process of attempting to figure out just what the heck I am doing.<br/>
<br/>
Badly.<br/>
<br/>
I have a couple of questions, and would greatly appreciate a response.<br/>
<br/>
1) I am having a real struggle going from ...
