<r> KG, yes air power is under played in SPWaW but thats because it is a ground combat game, and air power was not always avialable. When it could be used en mass it was devestating. <br/> <br/> And yes you spend to much time slogging though the jungles [:D]<br/> <br/> Svennemir, When I played the A...

<t> KG I would dissagree. While infantry still did most of the work it was the tank thsat changed warfare. WW1 was not a mobile affair. yet WW2 with only a few exceptions in the west and Rusisa at least was one giant war of movement. This is do to the tank more than air power. From the calavry like ...

hey watch this

<t> Two days after the Germans launched their Ardennes offensive, the 4tb Armored entered the fight (18 December 1944), racing northwest into Belgium, covering 150 miles in 19 hours. The Division attacked the Germans at Bastogne, helping to relieve the besieged 101st Airborne.<br/> <br/> The Divsion...

Only two other wargames even come close to SPWAW. Both are board games ASL (Steel Panthers is after all basivcally ASL for the PC) and battletech because it has the msot richly developed story line of any game not set in real history.

<t> ya the USSR didn't really make a good medium from 1942 (introductiin of the Pz-IVf2) Until the introduction of the T-54. The problem was a great design with a pi** poor gun. The USSR had the D-10T 100mm HV canon in WW2 but failed to use it properly in a tank. Just in the SU-100 (limited producti...

<r> M-4A2E8 wa sinfact a production model. Prodcution begain in August of 1944 and continued through the end of the war. The HVSS desingnation comes form the fact that all M4A3E8's had the Horizontal rahter than vertical volute suspension. While the E doe sindeed stand for experimental. The combinat...

<t> magor Mess. I hereby surrender. I am to much of a noob at this game to try and recover form the situation I found myself in. if you want to create a new gaem i am up for it but he confused and scattered situation I found my self in is untenable. I have very little armor f AT cpabiltiy left, no i...

<t> 4th Armored the Breakthrough Divsion. No german panzer unit was able to stop it. It was patton's lead divsion and when it cut a path into bastonge the defenders had more tanks in side the city than the releives did but couldn't get thier head sout of the noose. The unit was also home to the grea...

Go into prefrences and set the AI battlpoints lower while boosting your own. You may have simiiar sized core forces but the extra points will give you expendables.

<t> yakingnover a battle in mid fight is a dificult end evour. The bloody British seem to have soem perfectly suited anti-tanks guns witthe gaps covered by tanks on a reverse slop defecne. my forces are scatered to hell and gone and For now holding the VH's I have will have to suffice until I can ge...

<t> I beleive on the case of the SP mortars ( froma discussiona t the depot) was that one started out as a transport only and later had the tube fixe dfiring over the front of the HT. The other was purpose built and had the Mortar firing out the rear of the HT giving the AAMG gunner more room. In ga...

<r> The T-72 was up gunned and up armored after GW-1. Using the same gun as the t-80 family and more advanced fire control (still inferior to western designs). If you comapre pictures you see that both have a similar layout topside. 5 road wheel pairs with no return rollers ( the T-80 has six with r...

<t> 1988 is the source I found for the introduction of the 7VR. Iraq did not have it in GW1.<br/> <br/> As for the M1 series of tanks. In GW1 the untried unblooded uS Army wich hadn't fought a magor mechanised landwar since may of 1945. Went up agaisnt probably the most batle hardened armored force ...

<t> The US Army uses reactive armor on the Bradleys and the USMC use dit on the 60 series tank.<br/> <br/> The new model RPG-7VR is not a third wolrd produced version. It is as Russian as Gorbachev's birth mark. They were supplied to Syria before the invasion and then quickly shipped to iraq. The qu...

Engineers can clear a 30M quite quickly. The idea is not to remove all the mines but create a marked safe lane of travel Rough two paths spaced apart equal to the width of the primary viehicles following the engineers.

<t> I have been doing some checkign and can find no real reports of a Polish cavalry charge.<br/> <br/> <br/> By the end of the First World War the cavalry charge was a thing of the past. Machine guns even few in number would put horses and men down faster than they could be repalced. Tactics switch...
