  1. No plan survives first contact. Except for the propagandists in Moscow.
  2. Hiding also means hold your fire. Hold your fire except in the cover arc. Excellent way to make sure a Panzerfaust doesn't get overambitious.
  3. Panzerfaust 30 means this Panzerfaust has a tactical range of 30 meters. Yes, give it a tactical cover-arc of a range of 30 meters at 360⁰. Yes, you need to test when the TacAI does the right thing and when it doesn't. I think AT weapons will engage automatically, to do it manually may very well be counterproductive. Example why I play like this I compared Red Thunder with SF2. Often Red Thunder is more effective. I think the reason is often I play with battalion size formations and in SF2 company size. I found in SF2 I micromanaged possibly too much. As in Red Thunder it would be too time consuming. But the best way to find out is to test it yourself. Reason we have many scenarios play against the AI the same scenario and experiment.
  4. Split off an AT Team from a section put everybody else on 'Hide' or with a cover-arc.
  5. From CNN Live updates: Russian government resigns in Putin power shakeup (cnn.com)
  6. Like I said we all play it differently. Only engineers can detect mines for me no problem if out of a platoon a section gets exhausted as long as they detect mines. They can mark mines too being exhausted doesn't seem to affect them. I see mines as an enemy unit and deal with it. The topic is "Searching for Mines". I just shared what I found the most effective method. Don't get your engineers exhausted if they need to assault combined with breaching operations.
  7. It doesn't matter even if the unit is exhausted. It won't affect their performance in the slightest in finding mines. It affects only their move orders they can do the standard move (N) and the slow move (O). Spotting and firing is not affected. I appreciate we all play the game differently. I use slow finding mines that is the purpose of engineers and breaching obstacles. Once they achieved this regular infantry takes over. I use slow a lot when the terrain offers concealment the unit moves under LOS. Other units which move on slow are FOs and HQs. Not meant for combat and if they are exhausted it is fine.
  8. Refrigerators were a luxury, so the milk came in brown glass bottles. This was supposed to make the milk last longer.
  9. I tested it in Red Thunder (Soviet Engineers), best results are, move slow with a waypoint on each action square. That the unit gets exhausted doesn't seem to make any difference. It is not fool proof but at least they detected two mines against one casualty. They didn't stop at a mine on hunt.
  10. I imagine they will be some distance behind them. Their task breaching minefields incentive survivors will go back to the ranks. No luxury like MG42s besides they won't have sufficient munitions.
  11. I like to see Penal Battalion 999 scenario. Veterans with a Zilch for motivation.
  12. Bren is the better Light MG and the MG-3 is the better multi purpose MG. Bren is liked on patrol it is light and magazine fed.
  13. When and where was the court case? Never the less a country has a duty of care in regards of incarcerated persons.
  14. Correct. Part of his talents were he could predict future battles.
  15. Guess who said this. World War 2 was just finished. "I have no particular desire to understand them except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them... the Russian has no regard for human life and they are all out sons-of-bitches, barbarians, and chronic drunks."
  16. Vickers MGs mounted on universal carriers in BNM. Once deployed from the carriers you can't mount and deploy them on the carriers. It was very annoying during the set up phase of the game. (Breda Scenario).
  17. Tell that to the UK. Here they have 'red tape' to a fine art.
  18. Being Dutch born I know the feeling. Now I live in the Philippines for at least a year so far so good. Border security they can teach the Europeans a thing or two.
  19. Trajectories are modelled visual effects I think are not.
  20. They mistook me for a Brit in California, I still have nightmares about it. Imagine born in Amsterdam the Netherlands.
