Well we got something finally out of this post. It proves Cavscout and Slapdragon are both experts at avoiding the issue. Hmm. The Clintons are prolly not far down the family tree. "It depends on what you mean by the use of <insert words or phrases or lies or valid points>". Would anyone find it unfair if this was just put back the way it was? BTW Slappy, you said you played one battle and one. Damn. A whole battle. I guess that make you an expert. Not everyone has to agree with BTS as if they are the final authority on everything, either. I think its a mistake. Last time I checked we are not living in a country where we are ruled by socialists and not entitled to our own opinions. People that can't prove their arguments usally change the subject. You two are the best example of that. Go to the slapping machine without out delay right now ------------------ Play me, and I'll make yah wear your arse for a hat...

Get Ellan to buy you the full version of CM... ------------------ Play me, and I'll make yah wear your arse for a hat...

I'm with Jeff on this stuff. In fact Jeff, read my postings and I think that we are definately right. Most everyone is missing the point altogether. Duh... When I'm german, I don't buy all KTs. I'm a player that goes for quantity, not quality. In the last battle, I just had StuHs. Hmm. The whole complaint is WHY are my points restricted with no reason FOR a battle that NEVER happened. So someone please tell me why the allied motivated players are so scared about it going back to the even point total way. Its not about whos gonna win or lose, its a question about the godamn point change and the reasoning for it. I bet anything that the allied players would be crying FOUL if this was changed back. ------------------ Play me, and I'll make yah wear your arse for a hat...

Thank you Ben for an intelligent and most interesting reply. I hope you look at my other posts and comment there as well ------------------ Play me, and I'll make yah wear your arse for a hat...

German players rejoice In patch 1.2 not only will our armor points for MEs go from on third less then the allies to one half better simulating the german defeat, but also a far greater historical patch that whacks our points in half for everything. As for the tungsten, let them have twice as much as they have now for all I care. This will better simulate the experience of being defeated hopelessly. Hmmmph. ------------------ Play me, and I'll make yah wear your arse for a hat...

OK. One more add to this post and I'm gonna shuddup I am not happy with the point change, especially after the fact that I had no idea that this was going on. The germans obivously had less armor (OK fine), but they had less of everything else, too. Like I said, why not just alter the system even more to ensure the germans lose. Kept those allied players happy I guess I don't care that the germans get more vehicle points. Yippee. I get a couple more HT throw aways. Big deal. What if I dont feel like buying them? Well, I cant spend em on tanks so I guess my arm is twisted. This reminds me of the Clintons Socialized Health Care System. Take all my choice away. I'm so happy Jeez this post just gets my drawers in a bunch. I hope a new patch puts it back to being fair. Hmmm. Better yet. I read somewhere that Jumbos were produced in small numbers (the german puma was like this too), make them more costly to buy. Hmm. Since I just got screwed by a third, make the jumbos cost that much more then. ------------------ Play me, and I'll make yah wear your arse for a hat...

Ok so I said days. Well, Its been enough days for me to get familiar enough with the game to understand it. Like I need to go to school for 4 years to understand or even qualify to express my viewpoints for a game thats still relatively new. Forgive me. I meant a couple weeks ok? Is it my imagination or do people just want to win the arguement and refuse to get to the point. Please don't twist my words against me to start another invalid concept. Off to the slapping machine with you ------------------ Play me, and I'll make yah wear your arse for a hat...

Henri, I'm with yah in this one too (see my previous post). Like I said, keep the allied players happy. keep screwing the germans. Maybe this game is more realistic then I thought. Allied players fear the german armor just like the real sherman crews did

Keeping this short and simple, what good are pioneer infantry? Every time I've had them in smaller (1000 pt or less), they seemed to be the cause of my defeat. Not only are they expensive, but they seemed to get creamed easily. Is this just bad luck?

whoops... I don't know how to quote someone elses comment. The top part isn't what i wrote. Sorry.

this is someone elses comment.. I dont know how to do quotes sorry... "As a former tanker (still in contact with several guys that still are tankers), I can tell you that we'd tell any commander to get *&%$#ed if he ordered us into a tank battle without a main gun!" Ummm. In WWII if you told any commander to get *&%$#ed, they'd shoot you. After careful evaluation I would say "sir yes sir!" and figure I would at least be obeying orders. You are so full of it.

I would like to thank the people that pointed me in the right direction first of all. I tried out your suggested paint program Paint Shop Pro, and had some success. Now I have another question... DD's Hi Res Grass and DD's new snow are my favorites. But when I looked for the gridded versions, they dont exist from what I can tell. So I added low visability grids to these sets. Is there anywhere I can Upload them so everyone has a chance to enjoy these?

There sure are a lotta posts about making the game more balanced and house rules concerning how to spend points in quick battle mode. To see what I mean, take a look at or revisit the thread concerning the point spread of armor for meeting engagements to refresh your mind how nasty these discussions can get. You want a real quick game? Take a 700 point battle and let the computer pick your stuff. I find it a very fun alternative to all these house rules and suggestions. You dont have much, and you're stuck with whatever the higher ups (the computer ) give you. Honestly, whether people want realism or historical sense isn't the point at all. People want to win. Thats the bottom line. I don't like it at all when more rules and stuff are forced upon you when all you want is a FAIR game. Life ain't fair, but this aint RL...

I thought you couldn't attach off board artillery spotters to HQ units to gain LOS. Thats what this is about...Offboard spotters. Its not a question about tactics either. I'm just looking at a specific point of gameplay and whether its realistic or just a gameplay choice.
