Love the game, but one of the settings in QB confuses me. What's the practical difference between attack, assault and probe? The manual says that it dictates how much pre-battle intelligence you receive and how the point-ratio between attacker-defender is. But surely there must be some other differences? Otherwise probe would just be a substitute for "difficult assault".
And while I've already started a thread, I might as well hi-jack my own, and ask where you'd go if you want to have a go at MP. Is there an IRC-chat or something in those lines?
Thanks for you help!
