    The "Analysis of Nabla scoring system" thread

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    I might be a moron here but...

    Isn't the point with NABLA that by using the median score instead of avarage you eliminate the problem with noob encountring grog. This is possible since you calculate the standard deviation for each scenario. That is the curve we ar following. This in my mind suggests, which might be wrong prob is, that when one has a scenario where the median is say 50% but a lot of people managed to get say 75% you wont get the hight points until you get above that limit. I suggest that that might be the effect we are seeing in the results. If so then NABLA is the answer to all our prayers.

    I included a note in the Author's Comments section when I originally posted the scenario:

    IF TROUBLE DOWNLOADING, RIGHT CLICK ON "DOWNLOAD" BUTTON AND SELECT "SAVE TARGET AS." EASY.

    For some reason, most, but not all :confused: , of the scenarios I post to SD have this issue. The step above easily gets the download to work. Next time, I will include the trouble downloading message in my post (will modify original post).

    Please try to download again. Have fun. Comments welcomed. :cool:

    I tried that. Didn't work. Got a 0 bytes file... :mad:

    Don't worry, Shmavis, they are perfectly fine terms, as are "Jap", "Kraut", Kiwi, etc., as verbal shorthand.

    It is the responsibility of people on the receiving end to learn and/or understand (but not decide) the intent of their use--it is not incumbent upon the speaker. He already knows what he means. Furthermore, he cannot be a mindreader and determine beforehand every instance of someone being offended. Finally, people who arbitrarily choose to be offended about it without first determining the speaker's intent need to grow up and stop utilizing the 'victim' mentality. :mad: </font>

    How to use a marder...

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    1. Never move the marder into view of enemy units.

    2. Move the marder into a hidden stationary position and engage enemy units as they move into view. This is typically behind a building or on one side of and slightly behind a hill. Set a armor cover arc so you will stay pointed the correct direction.

    3. Cause the enemy vehicles to button before they move into view of the marder (typically with a sprinking of arty or long range MG fire). This will allow you to get 1 or 2 shots in before they spot you, assuming no other units have already spotted your marder.

    4. Pin down infantry units so they won't move up and spot your marder. You want his buttoned armor to stumble into your line of fire first.

    5. Post plenty of concealed infantry with good FOV so they can ID enemy units long before they move into view of your marder.

    6. Keep the marder away from trees as this will allow even light mortars to knock out the open-topped vehicle with tree bursts.

    7. Do not allow small arms fire to come from above, like a nearby tall hill or 2-storey building. This can knock out the marder due to the open top. Avoid getting within handgrenade range of any infantry.

    8. Marders and other light tank hunters will often back away from superior vehicles. Make sure you position your marder so that the tacAI logic will not back you onto the top of a hill or other suicidal position. This requires experience with the way tacAI behaves.

    Thx, great answer!
