I had no tanks, no arty (well one set or was it two of mortars) and just the two Harriers. Moving to occupy the high ground on the "left" of the AOE helped bring down machine gun fire but it still worked out as a slugging match and the second time I played in instead of a disaster I had a "no-one won".
I'd go at it again, but the BRITISH HAVE ARRIVED!!!
-
Well I was kidding really but if we're going to fight who wants a balanced scenario!
It's 1776 again chaps <g>
-
So can we fight the Yanks?
<g>
-
Gee thanks, I hadn't forgotten that I never knew it!
So going back to my original question, if I don't even have LOS then I can't hurt them? If I don't have LOS I could still use area fire though. Yes?
-
I think the bright red icon shows which unit your selected blue unit has LOS on. LOS is not quite LOF but its close enough.
If an enemy magically appears you can also click on their icon to see which Blue unit icon will go bright. That's an easy way to discover which of your units spotted them.
Okay thanks. So how do I get LOF then?

Ps
When Are The British Coming!!!!!!!!!!

Stupid question but I've become so hung up on the game I'm dammed if I can remember a basic rule!!!!
At beginner level if my squad can see an enemy but the enemy icon is NOT BRIGHT RED, can they fire on it?
If they can what's the point of showing bright red?
I know, but I've forgotten.

"when you made it through pooh, you should handle milk run easily!
Yeah right :-) When I arrived I had no artillery, minimal Mortars and the two Harriers. The Harries were useful (British design y'know!) but couldn't kill everything.
The tanks never arrived and I suffered 80% losses.
Advice?

Did anyone else have their heads handed back to them on a plate when they played this scenario in the Marine Campaign?
-
Hmm, M32, I didn't know about that. I'll have to fire one.
Thanks.
-
I've come to that conclusion. They' re from the M203 40mm grenade launcher, although I'm surprised they can be loaded and fired that quickly.
Thanks to all who posted.

And show a little white light going off into the distance to land with a small explosion.
What are they please?

You won't get in the lift at the office because you notice that the "Down" arrow looks suspiciously like the "Pinned" marker.

When someone asks you an awkward question, your first instinct is to hit the EVADE button, pop smoke and dive into the nearest cover.
ROFLMAO!!!!

You watch the U Tube battles and try to scroll the screen...
-
Okay - what spelling mistakes?
-
Try substituting "trumps", "beats" or "is superior to" instead of "tramps"
Gotcha.
Umm and this? "The edit timer is evil."
Jeez we invented the language...<g>
-
I'm sure "Not burning alive tramps fashion any day" but regrettably I'm English.
Was it mean??? :-)
-
Is it my imagination or are Syrian tankers in cool looking green camo unis?
Boring American troops seem to be in silver/grey.
-
One if by land,
Two if by sea,
Three if by . . . air.
I just rolled a six :-(
-
I have never seen CAS in a QB. Artillery yes, CAS, no. British module must be about...oooh.... 6 weeks away according to Meach's mental ability to pluck random numbers, guesswork and wishful thinking.
Air support - dammit.
"Random numbers and wishful thinking" - that's good enough for me. So about 23rd April - St.Georges' Day Great. <g>
-
Am I just unlucky in my choices or can't I get air support in Quick Battles?
(I like bombing stuff.)
AND WHEN ARE THE BRITISH COMING????

(REALLY nice chap.)
He bought me my first ever Pizza.
(I had to mention that.)

WOW you met Jim Dunnigan! My Personal Wargaming hero! Glad to have you on the forum....
I knew Jim, Dave Isby, Redmond and Al Nofi (the anti-English "noted ACW Historian" <to quote from S&T>). I was a frequent visitor to all of them in New York almost up to the end. (sob...) Really nice people, apart from Nofi, oh and Edi Birsan too. (REALLY nice chap.)
I turned down the S&T agency in the UK (Duh!)
Then again I also knew Gary Gygax, so it evens out :-)
The British Have Arrived!!!!

Well I'm not a football fan but have we lost sight of something about alternate enemies?
THIS IS A GAME - None of it is true. it doesn't matter who fight whom.
Much more important is that the British are all b**** SCOTS!!! :-)
