Tactics Guide is Revised

Post by Larry Holt »

Yes, the most eagerly anticipated update since the Brady Bunch Reunion movie is here!!

I've updated my Tactics Guide for ver 5.x & 6.1.

-I have written some sections that were previously "To Be Published" (although there are still some to be written & no images yet)
-Specifics for tactics changes brought about by the infantry modeling update in ver 5.x & 6.1
-LOTS of TIPs by you, the gamers!!

You will find it at: http://www.fprado.com/armorsite/spwaw_downloads.htm

Download it, read it, enjoy it. Give me feedback.

Thanks Larry! I need to re-read the whole thing. Hopefully it can help me improve my dismal performance in PBEM games. :eek:

Thanks Larry, there never comes a point where you cant learn something new, so I'll certainly take a look.

I just finished reading the new strategy guide. I really got the most intersting info about using recon: one recon vechicle, two observers with vehicle and a tank or half track. I have been approaching it all wrong. Using just the recon vehicle and then engaging in fire fights. There was much more in the guide that opened my eyes to many things I have been doing wrong as a commander. Great work. Everyone should read this.

Thank you very much for the positive comments. I hope to continue to write the missing sections and add images to better explain things once I have more experience with 6.x. As you can see, I put in a lot of tips by other gamers. Quite frankly, while I am the greatest military mind since Napolean (har, har), the broader SPWaW community can think of things that I never did. Just as some of you may learn from my guide, I learn from you.

So, all you budding generals out there, even if you don't want to go to the effort of writing your own guide I certainly am willing to put in sections or tips and give you credit. Even if a section is written, if you have a different approach, I'd like to see it and expand existing sections this way.

I just would like to add that Larry's work is top notch - a must for everybody playing SPWAW. Even the hardcore ones will find something new there. ;)

Great work, Larry!
