So I am playing Bad Day at the Beach against a buddy and my MMG team seem to think they can destroy a Wood Bunker that is side on to them with the power of their MMG. Just watched from inside the Bunker and nope they can't and even the Italians inside the bunker are happy (very unusal for Italians to be happy with rounds passing over their heads). So does the AI know something I don't? Or are the GI's just trying to get rid of my limited ammo to annoy me? Anyone see this before? (Saved Files Available...)

Lots of nasty bugs going around, glad you are on the mend, Ken has missed you.

In the tourney I had a shreck guy fire his last round against infantry to good effect, so I think the AI is still using rounds when it feels the need. It was last turn of game so I was not too bothered and it did contribute to an exciting last fews seconds....

Tell me you did not eat the sweet meats Ken offered you?

Yes good points about using it as a training tool. Should make the battles tougher for both players.

It will be interesting to see if the top four is the same players as the top scores... Sounds like your oppo is going to miss those men. With less Arty it is harder for the Germans to inflict those losses...

I like others have found it a bit odd playing both sides at the same time. If you spot a sweet spot in one game your oppo then knows about it for their use. So I guess it makes it important to try and keep both games in step with each other. Just finished the last game and result went down the wire to the last turn and last 15 seconds of that turn, pretty intense action.... So win or lose the tourney has created a bit of a buzz and some good game play. I can't wait to hear and see how other players tackled the games, it will be interesting to see how others tackle the maps...

I saw a Rhino go through a gap in bocage that was designed just for the foot sloggers and it did not widen the gap, a code glitch, pity the MKIV could not pull the same stunt....

I would guess there are some pretty good reasons for the change of store front. Security might be one of them? The trouble with PC's and technology it never stays still and needs to be updated as flaws are spotted. Just hope they get it fight and any delay is better than it falling over or failing....

Thanks for the update, I feel your men's pain... A new plan is needed, ambushes and a different approach?

I see Baneman is awake and making multiple PIC posts.... I shall wander over there...

The map is easier for the American's than the Germans imo and it has some design faults also. I would have to dig out thread where designer was mentioned, but some I hope constructive comments follow. 1. There are numerous fields with no gates for wagons / vehicles to get through. IRL any field tended by humans would by this period have access to field for wagons or cattle, these IMO would be wide enough for vehicle access. Either way as this is for gaming all fields should have some form of access back to a road. 2. The designed has decided to show some access via wooden fences between fields which they have then made impassable to vehicles. Poor choice IMO and again makes map unrealistic IMO. The map and force composition does provide an interesting asymmetrical challenge which is good for a tourney. I think it will all revolve around how well the German side does for the dominant player. Anyone who can win as the Germans will IMO get through to next round. Just my guess at it... In my game we have about 9 mins left of the final game. Then I should be able to send both results together.

Sounds like they are only needing the new store front, so maybe next week? But then no pre orders, so maybe longer? At least I can get battle pack soon....

10 hours... Maybe he has surrendered to Baneman? Too much pixel mayhem for the computer to handle? This pixel is just resting..... Hello pretty pixel.... Great reports and action, thanks!!

The loss of a company HQ is going to hurt, this is one thing that really hurts morale and command and control. Nasty and pretty at same time screen shot. Another lurker who has just found out XCom 2 is out.... I did not know... Thanks

I have graphics set to highest level = best and a nvidia card, no vehicle pack and patched to latest level, engine 3? Odd...

I do not have the vehicle pack yet...

Just to confirm I have checked also and I have no mods loaded and I get same results. No forks showing, but oddly I can see fork shadows.... Not a major issue I guess as still works to get through hedges....

Hope you find a game that you can enjoy. Good man Steve for the refund, at least you have a happy former Customer.

Sorry meant to say search forum for h2h thread which has specific games nominated as good for h2h. Let Desert is mentioned and indeed plays well. A JonS production if I remember correctly?

ohhh great!!! I love running IT projects that take a big bang approach. Hope it goes OK, and take your time. Good luck.

Looking at Banemans latest pictures it could still go Bil's way...... Not over by a long way...

Charge!!!!!

Gents Bil has retracted that statement and we can all type things poorly that don't come out the way we really mean.

Just looking at Bil's latest position if he is brave enough team pain Sherman's rushed down his left flank could cause Baneman some problems. Unless his PF100's can pop them. Not having a Panther on the same side as the beast could hurt. Depends on how fast those Sherman's can move and the LOS in that small copse of trees.
