Being new to HTTR I took Jefs' suggestion and played the Dutch Delay scenario last week for the first time and tried using delay orders. And it happened ...

RE: Some HTTR observations

I would like to see some kind of supply situation put an end to free roaming units behind enemy lines. Even though were only talking days of battle, units in heavy fire fights do and should run out of ammo if lines of supply are cut.

RE: Wish List

<t> Wow, your right. Going back and rereading again, (my comprehension skills have dropped off after 50), yea, they'll take more losses the higher you set it before sending a message. In the heat of battle or with a speed other then slow it would be easy to miss the message.<br/>

RE: Wish List

<t> I think this perhaps would apply to recon units more so then other units. Have a setting (maybe convert “losses - min” ?) when you give orders to a unit that if they get routed to “abandon” their current orders, find cover (which they, for the most part, already do) and hunker down and "stay ...

Forward spotters

<r> Is there any way to get a unit to hide and be a spotter? <br/>
<br/>
Thinking I could do this, I had a recon unit that I set to defend in-situ (where it already was dug in) with aggro - rof - losses set to min - slow - min. But the recon unit still opened up on the enemy when they were 1.5km ...

RE: I won't buy this game without a demo. Why?

Yes, your right.

But I know one person who played the demo and bought the game. Without it that wouldn't have happened.

<t> First time poster here.<br/>

I also hesitate buying any game without a demo. Not for testing game play and how it runs on my hardware but to see if there's a problem with crashing, rebooting, or getting kicked out to the desktop. All to common a problem with windows computers and the ...
