JUST THE COOK

My last experience as the Germans in CE? 5 Shermans Killed 0 StuG Killed Strategy?Move one StuG up to the corner of the 2nd house in front of the initial setup area. Position it so he can see the high ground to the left of the crossroads. This provides excellent cover and concealment. When the Sherms head for the high ground, they get picked off as they bare side armor to the StuG. As for the other two? This is the tricky part. Advance them straight toward the hill adjacent to the German high ground. Now the part I found difficult is advancing just far enough to target, but not be easily targeted. Reading the topography to place your armor hull down is a bit tricky. I think the StuG is made perfectly for crestline combat. By the time these two are in position, the first should have two or three kills, at least against the AI anyway. After that it just mop up. I chased guys all the way to the allied edge of the board by the 30th or so turn.

I've seen the screen shots of the fighters/bombers in action but the only unit depictions are shadows. Does the only defence against aircraft come from the TacAI. If not, how do you target the aircraft? Are the aircraft ever actually visible?

Yes there is a DYO and you can set up point style battles - IT is extremely versatile more so than anything we've seen so far. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>so this may be possible with e-mail games?

It hit me earlier today (this may have already been addressed, being new and all I'm not sure), but after playing scenerios over and over, and playing both sides, you eventually learn (memorize) the entire order of battle, troop, and terrain strengths and weaknesses. My question is, (providing PBEM games will exist with the game release), will it be possible for each player to construct his own unique force by puchasing units as he wants. This way a player has no idea what he is up against without confronting the enemy in combat or sending out scouting parties. Heh?

its been asked that we dont talk too much of this CMMC thing on this board but, what is it? who knows about it? how do i find out about it? Can someone e-mail me? Is it just for B-testers?

kinda makes ya reach automatically for a stop button that does'nt exist don't it?

Check out http://www.geocities.com/Pentagon/Quarters/1975/badbeast.htm I think the pic of the M18 Hellcat with the 4 holes punched in the front armor is great. Not so great for the driver i'm sure!

OK. On the way.This crew must have been successful judging from the smiles on thier faces.

To Fionn: sent an e-mail with pic of round. Let me know if you don't get it.

Excuse me for possibly bringing up old toppics but this group is quite active and i'm getting old and don't have time to read all the old posts. Anyway, how about tank main gun tracers? yes/no?

what about fratricide in night engagements? Possible or no?

Although "games" centering around tactics and strategy is our mainstay, I thought some of you may like these websites featuring the real thing. One of them is a government site with a couple warnings, so behave. http://call.army.mil/call.htm http://call.army.mil/call/fmso/fmso.htm See what you think.Most of this is modern but fascinating none the less to guys (and gals) like us.

Seems I recall seeing a film clip of one of these things. About the size of one of those battery powered 4x4s you buy for the kid. Had a bundle of cable stretched out behind it and yes it was fully tracked.
