  1. Esteemed all,

    Can anybody tell me what settings I should use to get a "spread" of experience for QB's??

    It seems that all QB's are based on a a twofold experience setting...

    Conscript-Green

    Green-Regular

    Regular-Veteran

    Veteran-Crack...

    If I want a couple of Green inf "scout" units , but would like to use a base of Regular or Veteran troops , how can I set it up :confused:

    cheers,

    I beg to differ. They are Napoleonics LITE to be sure. When a battalion of Prussian Landwehr can deploy into skirmish order en masse, there is something terribly wrong. There are more inaccuracies, but I don't want to waste the energy required to remember them.

    Lastly, it is a RTS game. A clickfest where unreal events take place at an unreal pace.

    I LOVE Napoleonics (& CM) and I sold my copy of their first offering two weeks after I bought it.

    Yet, I won't deny anyone their fun. If that is the sort of thing you like, by all means go for it. </font>

  3. On one occasion I actually felt for the enemy. I was playing the Germs in a really good defensive position. I had one of those concrete bunkers with 3 MG's in it (you know the ones).

    Anywho the Sovs with a HUGE inf force decided to attack up thru an extensive barbed wire entanglement I had set up,right smack dab in the kill zone of the bunker. You can imagine the ensuing carnage , dear oh dear. There musta been 200 guys trying to get thru the wire.They were being killed wholesale. It was all I could do in the end to bring up a flame unit and incinerate maybe the 60 remaining die hards on the wire. I think the few survivors are still running back to the Kremlin... URAAA!
