I don't know if the bundle is or isn't.

The PzC AI is "dynamic". I don't have a lot of experience with similar game types, so I don't know how it rates. If you play this real (don't just order suicide/ don't squander troops) you should be able to keep 90% alive, once good. If you play bad, you will lose >50% easy. The enemy AI has done some unpredictable things sometimes.

There is demo of a 'winter storm' scenario. Isn't there?

Hi Bison36,

Saw your post in the main forum. Yes, there is a bundle and I'll check to make sure nothing broke there since you had a problem with it.

Hi, the bundles seem to be working fine as far as I can tell. If the bundle links are not working for you, can you please show me exactly what link is causing the problem?

However, the separate Winterstorm upgrade offer seems to have expired again. I've asked our admin to re-enable it with an expiration date of 2020 or something like that so we won't have to deal with this again.

Regards,

Thanks Erik think I figured out what I did wrong.

"[S]hould be able to keep alive 90%" above should be changed to "'could' be" (and probably "able to keep alive _15%_"). It's not as easy as I make it sound. I was simply very invloved with it for a few months when I first bought it.

I use to take a week per scenario at a few hours a day! I use to try to prevent any 'Xs'[dead squads] at all from happening (watching my casualty bags, and pulling back 2 baggers); certainly no whole platoon destruction.

I use to say to myself "try to get a 'perfect game'" (no bags at all!); Getting a 'no hitter' meant no Xs [squad dead]. A 'shut out' meant no platoon annihilation. I did get shut outs and a couple no hitters.

...Always covering fire from another unit at a flanking angle. And defend move and advance rather than vulnerable moves (unless decoying). Week per scenario at few hours a day, checking every possible opportunity and vulnerability each phase.

I don't play like that now. I take my lumps.
