Nordkapp is GREAT. one of the best TSR era S&T games that was ever done. I did a module for it in Zun Tzu a couple years back. Still a great game.

<t> does not using my air or arty in my turn give any benefits to me during my opponents turn?<br/>
<br/>
say for example, I burn through all the attacks I want to do with my ground units in my turn. Say I still have arty and air that could be assigned. Should I just go ahead and use them for ...

During the first Gulf War I know of one that was shot down by artillery from 1st Marine. I think 1 or 2 more were caught in cluster ...

<r> I will have to say that I am disappointed with Germany Reforged. <br/>
<br/>
A number of the scenarios seem to be very...bleh. All the defenders set up on a small radius of hexes from the VP locations and the attackers come on with pretty much one avenue of approach to the VPS.<br/>

If you play NATO anything you can do to slow the Warsaw Pact tempo down is a good thing. The longer the fight lasts the more damage your artillery can do. Or course the same holds true for Pact artillery as well. <br/>

For those ...

<t> Recently picked the game off Steam. Always been a fan of the Cold War gone hot. <br/>
<br/>
Played through the tutorial a time or 2 to get a hang of things. Then started off with the Small scenarios. Did Blackhorse 3 times. Props for making a game that I actually want to replay the scenarios ...

After scenario 3 for the germans you get to start doing it.

finally managed to get past it. Big mistake I was making was pulling my troops back before all the soviets had finished their turns so I was getting cut apart by their Op Fire. thanks for the advise all!

<t> Great game. I really do love it. But Im having a bit of an issue with the 3rd scenario of the German campaign. Yeah-the human wave scenario<br/>
<br/>
Ive run this about 10 times and cant seem to beat it. Tried several different approaches and each one has failed horribly. Anyone got any ...

You had to "purchase" units for the scenarios. It was a fun little game. I played it quite a bit with one guy who also enjoyed SPIs "Musket and Pike".<br/>
<br/>
Man fond memories. If only I had kept all those games.<e ...

<t>Cut my teeth on Squad Leader in 1980. Neighbor's dad had a copy and he taught both of us to play.<br/>
<br/>
The first game I ever owned was Ice War from MicroGames. Anyone rember those.....little games about the size of a paperback. Ice War was a hypothetical futuristic Soviet thrust over the ...

<t><<Do I need to dig out the actual scenario sheets to be able to use VASL? I can't seem to find victory conditions and the SSR in the scenarios themselves>><br/>
<br/>
yes....VASL dosnt have a listing of scenerios...you need to have the scenrios sheets to be able to set up the game....<br/>

<t>SL was the VERY first war game I cut my teeth on as a wee lad in 1980. My next door neighbor had it and he taught it to me. I rember with fondness 2 of my favorite scenerios.....'The Red Barracades' and 'Hill 621'.....<br/>

It was the begining of my long decent into wargaming....Panzer ...

<t>Ill go ahead and start trying these things more and more....it always seems that I either move to slow and cant get ot the victory locations....or move to fast and get cut down....<br/>

It was accually the Stalingrad Campaign and the Guadalcanal Campaigns that made my lack of infantry ...

<t>One thing that ALWAYS vexes me (not just in this game...but every game I have ever played...)is attacking an enemy that are in built up areas....in forests....buildings....anywhere that I can only see and shoot them if im right next to them....its not uncommon for me to lose entire companies to a ...

Since size matters its always best to have your biggest heaviest tank units act as recon....I mean..they are big and bad and can deal with anything....

<t>The goal of the allies was to end the war as quickly as possible. Seiging cities just does not contribute to a quick end to the war. <br/>
<br/>
Most of the German concentration camps were not found till almost the end of the war...dont think that had to much of a factor determining if the Allies ...
