JasonC, Thanks for the detailed reply. It is funny that a game/simulation can require such detailed analysis and thought to play correctly. It, in a sense, affirms the depth and accuracy of the game design that realworld tactics are required to win. I have read and am going to try and implement these tactics when playing, this is sort of a learning expereince and I can hardly wait to get some playing time to try out these concepts. Until reading these boards I had no concept of how to attack and such without the AI trashing me completely. Thanks again, these boards compound the enjoyment of the game immensely!

That is a great tip, (Yes i am a newbie ). I will definitely begin using that LOS tactic. That is my biggest problem with FOW on extreme, i get fired on and it takes me forever with great losses to even find and pinpoint the enemy. I have a fear that when I move up to PBEM against real opponents I am gonna get slaugtered. Again, very nice tip and thanks! [ April 30, 2003, 07:39 AM: Message edited by: Tbone ]

Hello, I am fairly new to the game and tactics, however I have been registered for a while and have read the boards awhile also. I would first like to say that the info in these posts are great and have help me alot with the games and with real life understanding of tactics. As I have very limited knowledge about real world tactics I do not know what is a real tactic or a game induced tactic. So my question is with regard to the above sectioned quote. Is that a real world tactic or only an ingame tactic? Essentially the lead platoon is being sacrificed to ID and draw the enemy's fire. How would that work with real soldiers, esentially if it is your turn to be in the advance platoon you know your dying in the next battle so the follow on units can overwhelm the defenders. As I said I have no idea as to how you accomplish that task without putting someones life in danger, just seemed like that advance platoon was doomed? Again excellent information provided here and very helpful to me so far, thanks alot.

Good news. Love the game and am looking forward to the guide as I can use all the help I can find.

Count me in as an interested party to the next availability, I saw the old post about the 25th so I was hoping today.
