Is it possible to add an independent squad without a HQ? whenever I add a platoon and try to delete the HQ it takes out the entire platoon and not just the leader...

thanks people!... armed with this new knowlege I will be better able to deal with them.. I suppose the best possible way of learning it all is to simply study all of the armour types of all of the vehicles and know which unit is best at countering it... I'll have to try playing around with the secenario editor and testing out all the different guns etc

I was woundering if anyone could give me some tips on taking out tigers... I've been really strugling to even dent them and have tried all sorts of tactics in getting rid of them. once I ambushed one with two shermans... which it dealt with easily and knocked out both of... it then went on to survive an attack from a bazooka team to the rear... and finnaly survived a near point blank attack from another sherman... so in total it destroyed three shermans without even a scratch! any tips for tank busting in general will be muchos appreciated

ahhhhhh! thats the same problem I had... I thought I had accidentally saved it as a tournement save or somthing

I think it would be wiser in general to have different types of firing states that you can set your units, and then allow this to be changed at each waypoint you set... so you would have say "hold fire" "return fire only" suppressing fire" "fire at will" and maybe "short burst/single shot"... so you could for example have your unit sneak into a building and take a pop shot and run back all by changing the fireing mode for the waypoints.. I find it annoying that you can't set your units to move to a position.. and then fire at a certain target... I think the system needs to be re-worked really... its a little to clumsy

is there really THAT much difference? that it is worth buying the other version? I wouldn't have thought having Nazi symbols would make a great deal of difference

phew

ahhhh... interesting... that explains it then... my guys had been shooting at those jerrys when they were in fairly good cover for bloomin ages... and most of them were down to their last 3 bullets

being a noob I just wasnt sure what the difference's were between the two..? as far as I was aware the only differences were the references to the Nazi party... I got the CDV version.. does this mean I can't play against people with the other ?

I've been playing around with a desert mission I created where the brits have to hold off a mechanized infantry attack which goes up a notch when each team gets three tanks as reinforcement... last night I played it as the brits and was having a whale of a time until the enemy's Panzer VII took out both of my stuarts and my sherman died a pathetic death... right at the back of the map the brits have an anti-tank gun strappet to the back of a truck that I wheeled into place in a crater behind the front line... after desperatly trying to take out the panzer with my two anit-tank guns I realised there was basicly no chance of doing any damage... so I retreated my front line back to tempt the panzer into my AT gun... the problem was... as the panzer breached the front line all of a sudden "the battle has reached its conclusion" "it was a draw" I was left bewildered as to why the battle reached a conclusion... I had set it so that the amount of turns was 30+... would the enemy securing all the flags have been enough to finish it?

*finds a website with a review of it* oh god yes I remember it now.. *shudders* ... I didnt even play it long enough to deploy my units... it was so very very poor

I think I played the demo of that... and I think it was baaaaaaaad

so they can go on shooting forever then?

on a similar vien... another noob question about ammo... playing around I set a german sniper to have an ammo level as 0... and set up few spitfires to strafe him basicly I wanted to watch the AI at work see which terrain he liked most etc... but when I started it up.. my jeep unit I placed in the map near him started getting shot at!? how is this possible seeing as tho he has no ammo? is it considered that there is a constant supply of ammo for a secondary weapon?
