Why would it make all the scenarios "obselete"?! I believe one of the main reasons for 8.2 is exactly the opposite. Many scenarios are already "obselete" and 8.2 will have them fixed.

<t> Well, ever since the first time Ive been here, all messages have been considered read just by my logging on. In other words, If I log on...lots of new messages...but even if I dont read any, and log off, then when I log back on: no new messages. I always took this to mean that "New" messages ...

<t> Thanks for all the insight, robot. I remember that button now. For some reason I thought it was small/medium/large (size of enemy force). I never clicked it to see easy/medium/hard. Same idea though, I guess. After the campaign Im playing im going to start experimenting with these as I too am ...

A-ha...I knew there was SOME reason I was thinking 1 man = 1 point. Thanks for doing that Voriax, you shed a lot of light on this.

<t> Ok, that makes sense. I had the score saved, and I checked after I read your post. The gun started with a 6 man crew, and took 3 casualties. (Hence the 3 damage). For some reason I had the strange notion than men were worth 1 point, until all were gone, at which point the unit was destroyed and ...

<t> Ok, some more nitpicky questions from Warmonger:<br/>
<br/>
I just conducted an almost flawless defense against Germans with the US. My only damage/casualties were to one unit...a 3in AT gun. Damage = 3. Germany ended up with 48 points - I thought they would only get 3 points. 48 is exactly ...

Thanks for the answers! Robot: Where is hard x 2?

Well, that's what Im trying to find out. I guess the question is a stupid one.

Well thanks Viking, but what file??

I am just asking about the difference between all the AI settings and how most people set them.

<t> Ok, I'm getting pretty good at this guys. I think I need to start making the AI a little more challenging, so Im curious about the many settings and how most experienced players keep the game challenging.<br/>
<br/>
There are several settings to increase the challenge and Im not sure what most ...

I did not know that...I have never designed.

I thought a designer could only change the values for the Campaign Result...not the outcome of each battle (scenario).

<t> All very good advice. I have just recently been getting pretty good at recon, and I have learned all those things. <br/>
<br/>
I never use recon vehicles anymore...They are no better than a non-recon foot unit at spotting. (They get no spotting bonus, they just dont get the spotting penalty ...

<t> According to the manual:<br/>
<br/>
6 to 1 or greater is a decisive victory<br/>
3 to 1 - 6 to 1 is a marginal victory<br/>
less than 3 to 1 is a draw<br/>
<br/>
I couldnt find any reference to any differences between victory against a human and victory against the AI, and I have no ...

one unit = tank (Tank has 5 crew)...tank gets hit, crew bails, now problem occurs, 404 units are now on battle field<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
<br/>
Now Im confused...<br/>

When crews bail out of a tank, they bail out as one unit, do they ...

Hmmm...

I wonder what he said?

Well, that's two votes for just deleting everything, and I couldnt manage to find the uninstall with the command prompt...so Im just deleting everything. Thanks all. Does the mouse thing affect SPMBT as well?

Also, did you set up your shortcut as instructed during the install? It says you will have problems if you do not do this. I think it even mentioned a blank screen with lines at the top as one of these problems.

Alright, thanks everyone for your help!

Just a barely relevant note:

I was an M1A1 Tank Gunner and my issued weapon was a 9mm pistol. The only rifle in the crew was the loader's. If we had ever abandoned our tank, we would have been just as useless as those bailed tank crews are in the game. [;)]

<t> What causes units to lose morale from one battle to the next during a campaign? I am playing the long WWII campaign as the Germans, and just completed the first battle versus the Polish. I lost two units. All the stats for these two units changed...some up, some down. (I assume these are fresh ...
