  1. I find that when I have a huge company/battalion of infantry, once the scenario-setup starts, I immidiately begin putting them into tightly packed platoons. Putting each platon leader in the middle, and the other 3 or 4 units real close around him. This way I can much more effectively manage all these squads easier.

    When I create a scenario I do the same thing for inital placements, so thos eplaying have an easier time seeing and moving platoons.

    BTS - Is it possible for you to update the code so that infantry platoons are grouped closer together upon startup of a QB? This would make management of companies and battalions so much easier in the long run...

  2. Dave, Excellent work.

    Only suggestion is the eyes. They freak me out a bit when playing. I feel they are "real" people. They're talking to me saying, "hey, don't send me to my death! I'll come after you while you're sleeping!!"

    So, could you blend the eyes in a bit more? Also the guy who is at the top-left looks like he might be retarded or cross-eyed.

    I'm not trying to be rude with the retarded comment, just an honest obvservation.

    Otherwise these are excellent. Thanks so much for the great work. Can you send me your version 2 if you decide to redo the eyes?

    Thanks!

  3. > 1. What two weapons claimed the most Tiger I and II tanks during WWII? For the tough part.. what

    > was one of the most unusual ways to knock one out yet leave the tank intact?

    *** The two weapons that claimed the most kills were the aircraft HE bomb or heavy artillery. One

    of the few weak spots on the Tiger I/II tanks was the roof of the engine which is also where alot

    of pilots would aim their bombs at. The most unusuall way to "disable" one was brought about by

    the P-47 Thunderbolt with its 8 .50 cal HMG's. The pilots would shoot out the ground from

    underneath one of the tracks and tip them over. Needless to say trying to get a 45-60 ton vehicle

    back on its tracks is no easy chore! ;) Interesting note.. the Tiger I/II tanks weighed more then

    most modern day main battle tanks. Tiger I weighed in at 57 tons and the Tiger II at 68 tons!

    While fighting on the Eastern Front one of the tactics used the Russians was to rush at high speed

    towards and ram the Tiger I and try to knock it out with a point blank range flank or rear shot.

  4. In the case of a new tank mod. I play a new game and buy 10 or 15 of the new tanks. Totally unrealistic, but I pretend that I just got a new shipment from a factory running overtime. Then I stare at them from every single angle (after they're setup) and admire their infinite beauty. I then put them in formation and try to raze everything down in their paths as they head for the largest victory flag. I always lose the QB doing this, but it sure is a thing of beauty to admire the new tanks riding into the sunset... Well, it's not a sunset, it's the fire from their partner's tank husk...
