Many thanks. Yes, it seems that we Europeans are only allowed to fight the SS when it's for real. I will take your advice guys. Thanks

I have tried to get a patch for this at Mark Gallear's site but the file is not available. Anyone know of another host for this or a similar patch for CM2?

In WW2 how many of those devices were issued per squad? Was it small enough to be added to belt kit?

Panzer General 2 is the first game I put on a new computer. Looking forward to Rome total war though!!

It lasted long enough to take out 18 assorted vehicles (8 tanks) and 127 infantry! At the end of the game a company of infantry supported by a flame tank and several armoured vehicles were attacking it at close range. It was receiving close protection from a platoon of infantry and was being supported at distance by various light weapons. I don't have a problem about the AI not destroying it, although I do have a problem about the AI continually attacking a silent gun and losing it's chance to take the flags.

Does anyone have a UK patch that fixes this non-ss nonsense?

Thanks for your thoughts. I agree that an 88 is weapon that you want to make sure is knocked out. There is no doubt that a human opponent would have concentrated on the flags as further attacks on the gun meant defeat. I suppose I am looking for the 'holy grail' of the computer thinking like a human.

In a QB whilst defending against the AI, the Russians attacked an 88/bunker for fifteen turns after it had run out of ammo. The AI would have won the battle if it had not directed 50% of its force to this non-flag area. I would ideally like the AI to have some sort of idea when ammo is out. Anyone else think that in reality the Russians would have ignored a non-firing gun?

Tried some of the tactics mentioned here and still received a severe butt kicking. Sometimes brute force is required so I took 25% extra force strength and attacked the centre of town with everything at once (Somme tactics). It did not go well, although moral remained high as my troops eating grass were kept warm by my armour burning nearby.
