  1. Mike, Iraqui freedom is over? Thank god for that, but what are those oinkers in DC calling it now "Operation Freedom from Extremism in Iraq and the Surroinding Arabic Countries (But Only If You Have Oil)"?
  2. Back to the topic of AT guns, I recently played a little QB in NA, July 42, I'm the limeys, AI is the snausage eaters, I'm infantry only, AI, is armor. I went to view level 1 to place my 2 pdrs, 2 in a position, and put them hull down. Well at least it seems like its hull down, just with no hull. Anyways, I lost 2 2 pdrs out of 6, and 0 6 pdrs out of 2. I almost shat myself, I'd never had guns last for more than a turn before, and here most of mine lasted 25. So try going hull down on your guns, with a sort of berm or rise right in front of the gun. Works wonders. And we all know Americans invented English....at least that's what they told me in my education system, ranked 47th in the US....god it's pathetic
  3. martyr, it doesn't bother me, but i have friends in alaska (its kinda like canada, just less american) and apparently, the word "eskimo" is waaaaaaaaaay offensive. just to let you know, if you cared.
  4. obviously the AI can tell which of the 5 shermans is the hq. right?
  5. my main problem with BB is the fact that one of the german's advantages, the ability to stand off at long ranges (1-2k) and take out enemy t-34s, is totally negated. You can have a crack pzIVG sitting in some trees ambush 1 regular t-34 from 1300 meters, but invariably the t-34 will out shoot it. Maybe I'm a whiny crybaby, but I have regular/green t-34s outshoot crack wermacht tanks on a WAY too regular basis. Is it just me, or is the AI a little too good at shooting its tanks?
  6. King, Let me know when the St Malo scenario pack comes out, I was recently there and so am interested in the battles around it. In response to the original question, not so much, as im not very good even with AK and BBs movement improvements, but Bo is still fun with infantry fights....
  7. Wow mikey, so I accidentally made a historical pairing in one of my quasi retarted "kill lots of russians " scenarios i create when im bored....which is too often.
  8. hell yeah id bite on all 3! But remember, first you must buy the basic game, how much might that cost?
  9. thanks a lot jason! your posts are always informative and rarely boring. My number one problem is impatience.
  10. did anyone notice the designers talking about how they would "HATE doing another 9 years of WW2"? I did, which leads me to think that ww2 will not even be covered. but what do i know? nothing.
  11. it is very easy to question the motives and politics of our ancestors. The fact remains that nazism is BAD, eveil if you will. It was a system which not only killed millions for their genetic heritage, it killed millions of its own citizens for speaking out against it. So how were the nazis ok? they were not, and while i may not be the ww2 grog you are due to my youth, i can recognize the nazis as the definition of eveil in the 20th century AT LEAST. nazi loving dip**** bastard, do you need to US to kick you in the balls AGAIN? with help from limeys and canucks AGAIN? some people get off on pissing others off
  12. jason, you mention scouting with t-70s, but not "scout by death". I was unaware there is another way? for recon with light armor i am lost, if i use hunt they stop in front of somthing they know will kill them, move to contact and they stop in front of a sniper to get blown away by some unseen AT, or fast move always gets me shot in the sides. should i use smaller movement orders or a different type of move? please feel free to spend 4000 words on one of your uber helpful replies.
  13. one question SLIGHTLY related to this topic: does blast rating affect troops differently at different stages in the war? what i mean is will a 20mm autocannon pin or rout soldiers better early in the war? i am actually having trouble expressing my question, if anyone needs me to restate it let me know. to rehash. Will a regular british squad in 1941 suffer more of a morale hit or more casualties than a regular british squad in 1944 from a 20mm round?
  14. the qualification means that it MIGHT be any form of infantry, (i.e, a squad will sometimes show up simply as "infantry?" until it is further IDed. I think this might be compounded by the fact that some US platoon hq units are 10 men strong.
  15. this looks very fun, keep up the good work.
