You are correct, once again. Old boys here don't like change, and I say tough luck, to them.</font>

In what way? Israeli/German ubertanks smash invincibly through Egyptian/Russian anti-tank defences in the Sinai/Kursk salient, or Egyptian/Russian anti-tank teams armed with fearsome Saggers/PTRDs give the Israeli/German M-48s/Pz IVs a bloody nose? I'm having a bit of difficulty spotting the parallels here... All the best, John.</font>

Anyone else get the feeling that the Citadel scenario played like the old Avalon Hill Arab Isreali War game?

In Citadel I had major victory with Germans on first go with a +1 bonus to the AI. Played with 'Extreme Fog' setting. I used the MkIvs as overwatch unit with 2 platoons of Mk IIIs advancing using covered arc and hunt command. This appeared to have effect of entire platoon engaging a target that the first AFV spotted. Upon contact, the MK IVs did pretty good job of supressing while I ran the MkIIIs into nearest hull down position. I did find the 'hunter killer' teams to be a nuisance (they got 3-4 AFVs) and the ATR teams to be an annoyance (like 'where are they shooting from'?). The KVs were dispatched using a 'swarm technique'...give them multiple targets and get close....very similar to Egyptian tactics in Avalon Hill's old Arab Isreali Wars . In fact, from the german side Citadell had the AIW feel to it. Anyone else get the AIW feeling? [ September 03, 2002, 11:34 AM: Message edited by: dfgardner1 ]

I too used the covered arc technique with the German tanks on the move. This also allowed for more realistic tactics. In other words, when tank platoons travel to contact, each is given (by doctrine or assignment) a field of fire. The covered arc command does simulate this. Also, it works in conjunction with the "Hunt" command.

Quite frankly I haven't seen so august a group since my last trip to the US Post Office.

Amen brother!

Hey, this is something I never knew!!! Thanks xerxes!

I have the zip file. If you want. I can send it to you John</font>

All, need some help here (tried searches but to no avail). There was a sound mod that had the title of "Sounds of Death" or something like it in title. Anyone know or have a link to it? Thanks [ July 11, 2002, 10:27 AM: Message edited by: dfgardner1 ]
