These threads might help, in the fourth thread there is an image with sniper test results in it. http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=49076&highlight=sniper http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=41895&highlight=sniper http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=4595&highlight=sniper http://www.theblitz.org/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=39828 As I recall, sniper won't open fire inside of 100 meter with their rifle, but will open fire with their pistol at very close range. Occasionaly to great effect.

Alan, Sounds Great! I'm about to leave for the night but should be back tomorrow. Send me an email at: TCT606060@Hotmail.Com and we can get set up. I have to warn you, this will be my first PBEM so I might be facing a little learning curve.

I would like to thank Cpl Carrot, The Scenario Zone, and the other members of the CM community that are taking time and putting forward the effort to make this Tournament occur! This is really Exciting!

As a noob I was taking stock of the Allied armor by setting up a 5000 point QB and buying one unit of all the Allied tanks and vehicles. After I was done looking at the stats, I checked out the German units by surrendering. The Germans were the defending force and granted, this was a pretty large QB, but the AI bought 17 flamethrower units. Now some were with Pioneers but there was a section of at least 12 Flame throwers purchased singly! That is more than 12% of their entire allowance dedicated to flamethrowers! How gamey is that? Alas!

Thank you all for your responses, I particularly enjoyed the conspiracy theories. I have often thought I heard the quiet, metalic laughing of my computer just before some of my troops made a bone headed decision. Alas!

I'm a bit of a noob with CMBO and was playing a battle last night when one of my Vet tanks made a disconcerting targeting choice. The tank was a PzIVJ and had just crested a hill at the end of the last turn with another tank. A Firefly was on another hill maybe 350 meters away and at the start of the turn I ordered the Pz to target the Firefly. As the turn started a British inf squad appeared maybe 50 - 74 meters in front of the Pz and my tank retargeted the squad. This resulted in the untimely demise of the Pz. My question is: does anyone know how the computer prioritises targets and how or why it chooses to retarget enemies. Thanks in advance for responses.
