Sgt Homer

Ah, thanks for that tip GonzoAttacker, I will try that.

Yes thank you that has helped me loads.

I am midway through creating my first serious scenario. It is based upon accounts and maps from an engagement featuring the 1st Battalion of the Suffolk Regiment. I have two questions: 1} What is a'Nebelwerfer'? 2}Is there a way to ensure that reinforcements arrive riding on tanks/trucks? Thanks, Sgt Homer null

Hello, I am quite new to this game and have so much to learn. Could someone define what makes a tactic 'gamey'? I am playing a PBEM scenario (Ham & Jam) with a load of German conscripts. We are defending a bridge, this is the only access between my units and the enemy (British). I hit upon the idea of sending over a couple of trucks to block the road, therefore preventing an advance from the British side. Could this be termed 'gamey'? I certainly would not wish to do that, I thought it was an inspired move, but a friend said it may be 'gamey'. Thanks,

Thanks again I really do appreciate any advice you guys give me, especially like LardLad's plan, thanks.

Thank you that has helped me. But ... ... does not sound a very safe task, I hope they calculate their fuse delay timing properly.

If I am about to ask a blantantly obvious question then I apologise. I have Pioneers in my force (computer picked my units in a PBEM game). What use are their demolition charges? And how do I use them? Thank you

Thanks guys, some real food for thought there. I don't think he is 'trash talking' as he has got me hooked on the game and has given me much insight of how units operate. My only other game against him I pushed him close and the game was really decided on the last turn. I trust his advice, though he may well want throw in the odd 'red-herring' sometimes. Anyway, we allowed the computer to pick our units for us and I have some that may do the job: StuG IIIG 210mm Rockets King Tiger PSW 234/1 (?) Suggestions?

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. <Rubs hands with anticipation of exploding buildings in forthcoming turns>

I have only just starting playing this great game. I enjoy it best playing BPEM games. Anyway as I have mentioned I am still green when it comes to tactics. My query is this: My opponent has infantry holed up in a town consisting of two-storey heavy buildings and informed me that artillery will not affect his troops inside these buildings. Is this true? Will my 300mm rockets have an effect either? Many thanks.
