    I am playing the scenario where the tank heavy Russian force attacks the German units in the big factory and my PBEM opponent said it took him 3 fausts to take out one of my BA-10s, that is what started me thinking. So I check the database and it does say Faust for 41 units, ect ect, maybe you can only have in a premade games but that still doesn't seem right if they were nat invented till 42.

  2. How is everyone feeling about this? Do the points seem fair for most of the PBEM games you have played? Attacking is much harder now and I am wondering if a lot of people are finding that they need more points to have a fair chance of winning as the attacker? (I personally need more points ehn I attack but I am not very good ;) )

    Second question, do many people use towed guns without a tow vehicle when attacking? A lot of larger unit organizations come with them and I was wondering how effective they are without a tow vehicle.

  3. IMHO troops tire too easily, I was in the military, 11B at Fort Benning so I have a little experience, now it was a few years ago but the guys do seem to tire fast, people don't seem to be taking the whole adrenaline factor into consideration, I was only getting shot at with MILES gear and I was worked up a lot, I can't imagine how hyped up you would be in real combat, that's a lot of extra energy.

  4. Casualty setting is none, this has actually happened to me in 2 different games, maybe there is some kind of random chance you don't get the troop experience you bought built into the game?

    PS I just did a quick battle, casualty setting to none, bought all tanks for both sides, all regular and there does appear to be some kind of random chance you will not get the quality you bought, I had mostly regular but also 1 or 2 vet or green tanks on both sides.

  5. I am reading Panzer Aces by Franz Kurowski and this struck me as interesting:

    "The 6th Panzer Division's tank situation early on the morning of 10 July (1943) was as follows: 5 Panzer IIs, 17 Panzer IIIs Long, 5 Panzer IIIs Short, 10 Panzer IVs, 2 command tanks, 3 flamethrower tanks, and 5 captured T-34s."

    What struck me as strange was real life info compaired to what you would find in 99% of the quick battles we play, who would ever buy Panzer IIs in a 1934 quick battle? Now I know most people already know this but the majority of quick battles we play are a joke when you look at the units involved.

  6. Let me know the answer when you get it, I have the same problem, I am able to add the the rule-sets but my mods screen is blank, I try to point to the zip files from the mods screen and nothing happens. Sorry but I can make much out of the readme. Oh also I can see the mods I want on the main screen but they are crossed off like it can't find the zip file on the mod screen (which it can't because it won't let me point to it?) Very frustrating :(
