<t> If its true that mortars accounted for most of the combat casualeties in WWII - Then should the Mortar damage be looked over for spwaw?<br/>
<br/>
I also detect a much better kill ratio - not to mention tanks destroyed ratio - when the AI's 81s drop on me than when mine <br/>
drop on him ...

See if anyone knows anything about this? Called an ARL44.<br/>

Looks like a Renault D2 body um.. with a Patton turret...??<br/>

Easy enough to miss I imagine, there is a whole lot of data in those oob's.

I can just imagine bug hunting them with the deadline of a version release breathing down my neck.. *shudder*

Every new patch is like Christmas...

Thank you all participants.

It would be good if the calliope and whizbang tanks kept their guns as they do in the pictures and apparently also in actual service. - Been wondering about that for ever.<br/>

<r> A range of 6 is cutting it short for tactical use. I guess then its used lika the British AWRE engineering tanks to blow up minefields and fortifications. 6 Hexes would be about 300yards though! <br/>
<br/>
Still if it could move, Its got a decent ammo supply - using indirect fire it could ...

<t> Weapons 116 and 117 are both Whizbangs (US army Oob)<br/>
<br/>
Now the first weapon has 24 range the second 224 - so i gues 224 is correct.<br/>
<br/>
However there is accuracy 4 in 117 and 60 in the armour value of weapon 116.<br/>
<br/>
Any clues or explenations in case I've missed ...

This can't be right? What sould it be?

Since they are immolilized as well - makes these units um.. rather special.

<t> I'm sure "running over" happened quite a lot. But real crews cant right-click on the enemy to see what weapons they have - and a simple mine on the track would have them all killed. <br/>

I've got a collection of armor magazines from the fourties and in them there is a great series of a ...

Hi Support

Where would you suggest my getting the dll file needed to run SPWAW 8.2 (Downloaded) from??

<r> I always figured that, since a hex quite large - a tank assault is not only milling around trying to mow down infantry with the treads but also firing close range with mgs and whatnot. <br/>
<br/>
So if you visualize it that way - It all makes sense.<br/>

<t> How well does it work in practice though?<br/>
<br/>
I'play SPWAW all the time and I dont get the feeling that the so called Hull down for rough does a whole lot of good. I still do it - because it is drummed into me from SP1 - but still does anyone know the exact beneifts?<br/>
<br/>
Does ...

<t> More units would be a blessing. I'd wave my little flag in support of that improvement.<br/>
<br/>
As it is now playing maxpoints Gerries vs Soviets I feel that to as a Soviet player you tend to go too tank heavy as you want to spend your points.<br/>

Imagine having 1000 infantry ...

<t> SPWAW is also free from commercial publisher influences, an evil that has made games geared towards being content-free - tech demos with no gameplay flavour. <br/>

Publishers shun from games being to hard and even having any kind of learning curve. The game has to please everybody and ...

This question may not be allowed in this section of the forum - in that case I apologize formy ignorace and ask to me moved - but do you know if the 1985 version of "unknown soldier/Tuntimaton (that would be spelled wrong) Sotilas" is obtainable on dvd?<br/>

Thanks serg3d. And for the winterwar.com adress!

Nice one

<t> Hello.<br/>
<br/>
Can anyone inform me of how armour was used in the Finnish Army?<br/>
You can by a whole lot of captured Soviet hardware and field it in what i suspect is very unrealistic fashion.<br/>
<br/>
I've had trouble finding books on the subject. And as i am a Lover of all things ...

<t> Also good for giving your commanders a +, or similar after his name as a "medal" for having done something excellent like taking out 3 Panzers in a turn - beyond all odds.<br/>

I know its sad - But I like to keep track of every unit and make a story out of every battle. Makes me fear ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>In SPMBT there are IIRC no such messages, and all is almost well. But if you watch carefully, you can see that between certain impacts the game makes a small delay, meaning the computer takes time to distribute suppresion points and casualties <E>:)</E> <e>[/quote]</e ...

I do that frequently.

Having scout groups popping smoke in nice formations to trick the enemy.

One of those excellent SPWAW things that separates the vets from the newbies:)
