question to pbem players....when playing a pbem game do most play with equal points against each other no matter what sides are involved and historical availability ect, and if not what sort of ratio do you use?any suggestions would be appreciated

playing a pbem -question.......is is better to leave damaged units (ie tank with no weapons or an art piece which has misfired) on the map or take them off through the retreat hex...how do they differ points wise on the final score??

ok-thanks for that seems a bit strange

started a pbem game today[:D] -on my initiall katusha rocket bombardment i got reports of casualties caused[:(]...i thought this was not supposed to happen in 8.2[&:]

<t> well said goblin.......the snipers are just crap in spwaw 8.2[:@]<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
lets not make excuses for them not hitting anything......<br/>
<br/>
they should be able to take out the tank commander aswell causing a casuality and keeping the tank buttond up for the rest of the game but ...

<br/>
and yes i am stationary and so is the target but i have still yet to cause a casuality only pinned<br/>
<br/>
perhaps they should have a experience level of 100 plus ...

i always buy snipers to use as scouts and as lookouts but when used as snipers they have NEVER caused a casualty,at best i can pin the squad[X(]....is it just me?[&:]
