Mad Russian Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Brent my way of taking out the 45mm ATG was just as effective. I ran it out of AP ammo as it killed my last tank... Panther Commander 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 My ATG was "dealt with" by being on the opposite side of the map to the Allied attack. To contrast the experience reported above, the Allied tanks I faced laughed at the puny MGs on my Italian tankettes, and took one shot to take them out. The one tankette that tried to go "round the back" and maul unprotected infantry (the Allies lead with their tanks) was quickly dispatched by the ATR(s). GaJ.

mPisi Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I had the ATG take out 3 Brit vehicles in one turn IIRC. I had moved the MkVIs up en masse to try to overwhelm the tankettes with fire. Great patience by my opponent. To complicate things, one of the tankettes was consistently misidentified at an Italian tank with a real gun, so I was trying to avoid it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Pollock Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Ah yes - good old Plan A. I thought I wouldn't have enough tanks to do it so I resorted to Plan B Originally posted by Panther Commander: Brent my way of taking out the 45mm ATG was just as effective.

tabpub Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Do you cuddle with the Teddy when you are feeling sad?...or do you torture it to reveal the enemy OB? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwxspoon Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 My 3 daughters gave me the Teddy for Fathers Day. However, I have noticed that during the design process he occasionally has a good idea. You can blame the keyhole los from the bend in the road to the Axis rear on Teddy. jw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWB Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Yes, jeff is evil. A few notes here. First, the first few batches of the AARs are now on the web. Enjoy. Second, a few designer's notes on Things Go Bump. Reading the comments, it had just about the effect I had intended. The exit scoring was setup so that the germans could eke out a minor victory without firing a shot. Operationally their goal is to get into position to attack at dawn. The brits, on the other hand, needed to take out a few of the german units to win, as they had two goals--interfere with the germans, and escape with their lives. Seeing the comments, I am considering dropping the allied exit requirements and just turning it into some kind of nightmarish running gun battle. If anyone was wondering about the last turn reinforcements, that was to make certain the game would not autosurrender given the number of exiting troops.

GreenAsJade Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 WRT to TTGBITN, I wonder if the German appreciation for the intent (and thus enjoyment) might have been improved if the briefing made it clear(er) that "get to the other side without casualty" was the goal, and would deliver victory. I'd have relished the idea of totally sneaking past and trying not to be seen at all. (Though side-hugging might have been the result, I guess). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Pollock Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 If you do drop the Brit Exit requirements, by all means, consider leaving their EXIT indicator on the map if you want to mess with the German player's head ...and now I understand the last turn reinforcement weirdness, and the comment you made in the CMAK ROW IV thread :cool: Originally posted by WWB: [snipped by Brent]...a few designer's notes on Things Go Bump.

I like the idea of leaving the british exit zone there, could keep things a bit interesting. What I really would have loved is an "exit for bonus points" option. Noted on the briefings.

GreenAsJade Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Any update on the AAR progress? It'd be kinda nice to at least have the "partners" (enemies) of the current ones, so we could read the battles from both sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
