[Help needed for my first scenario.]

Ah, thanks for that tip GonzoAttacker, I will try that.

[Help needed for my first scenario.]

Yes thank you that has helped me loads.

[Help needed for my first scenario.]

I am midway through creating my first serious scenario. It is based upon accounts and maps from an engagement featuring the 1st Battalion of the Suffolk Regiment.

I have two questions:

1} What is a'Nebelwerfer'?

2}Is there a way to ensure that reinforcements arrive riding on tanks/trucks?

Thanks, Sgt Homer null

['Gamey' ?]

Hello,

I am quite new to this game and have so much to learn. Could someone define what makes a tactic 'gamey'?

I am playing a PBEM scenario (Ham & Jam) with a load of German conscripts. We are defending a bridge, this is the only access between my units and the enemy (British). I hit upon the idea of sending over a couple of trucks to block the road, therefore preventing an advance from the British side. Could this be termed 'gamey'? I certainly would not wish to do that, I thought it was an inspired move, but a friend said it may be 'gamey'.

Thanks,

Thanks again

I really do appreciate any advice you guys give me, especially like LardLad's plan, thanks.

Thank you that has helped me.

[Pioneers - What do they do?]

If I am about to ask a blantantly obvious question then I apologise.

I have Pioneers in my force (computer picked my units in a PBEM game). What use are their demolition charges? And how do I use them?

Thank you

Thanks guys, some real food for thought there.

I don't think he is 'trash talking' as he has got me hooked on the game and has given me much insight of how units operate. My only other game against him I pushed him close and the game was really decided on the last turn. I trust his advice, though he may well want throw in the odd 'red-herring' sometimes.

Anyway, we allowed the computer to pick our units for us and I have some that may do the job:

StuG IIIG

210mm Rockets

King Tiger

PSW 234/1 (?)

Suggestions?

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

I have only just starting playing this great game. I enjoy it best playing BPEM games.

Anyway as I have mentioned I am still green when it comes to tactics. My query is this:

My opponent has infantry holed up in a town consisting of two-storey heavy buildings and informed me that artillery will not affect his troops inside these buildings. Is this true?

Will my 300mm rockets have an effect either?

Many thanks.
