What level do you play? Gog Magog RT on Iron the Soviet AT Guns are required to fire before I spot the sandbags. Hammers Flank same story the MG's fire before I spot their foxholes. Outline of trenches became visible at around 300 meters.

First I have no problem, I saw your guidelines and my PC warned me against doing it. Possibly what works on your PC may not be applicable to other computers.

It is either camouflaged or it is not. Something like the HQ stands 100 meters from it and when he sees a giveaway tell his boys to do it again.

I always found it worth my while to wait and see what is actually inside them. I agree however that trenches and foxholes should be modeled differently.

I thought that AT-Guns are supposed to be camouflaged during the deploy phase of a scenario. If they get moved or fire they lose the camouflage bonus. The original point was "once they fire it is a matter of time before they are taken out!" Exactly the reason they became obsolete. The immediate future was the ' Recoilless Rifle' which was far more tactically flexible.

What is the definition of accuracy in the game? Or is it the ability to spot enemy units quicker?

TRP's during the siege of Tobruk were done during night patrols. They cut jerrycans in half. Painted the inside white and the outside a desert pattern. So when the battle started they saw the 'TRPs' to aid FOs and direct fire weaponry. Wish they showed that in the movie. They just mention the night patrols.

If you prepare a defense against the AI? A human player may wonder why an IFV is shooting at some silly spot.

Well you would know the distance if you use the MG. I don't know or it inspired the .50 aiming gun design of the Centurion. I just shared the video some people can find it useful.

It was also meant as a joke

if I can install four games correctly anyone can. But must say needed help with the help desk a couple of times. With the keys etc. Could be more straight forward.

You can't have a Cold War without a winter module.

Better leave politics out of wargaming.

I fully agree but still his spirit lives on in modern Russia.

Yes 10 million Soviet civilians I estimate. But they were never called Heroes of the Soviet Union by Stalin. Mythology perpetuated this by movies describing events which never happened.

Waffen SS a 19 year old received a decent salary and good food and had the political awareness of an ant. After 3 years at the 'Ostfront' would have been at least wounded once or twice and a good dose of PTSD. Not much different from any other soldier apart from they didn't receive much sympathy after the war. They were found guilty automatically by association. Stimuli generalization read SS and that is it. Logistics was the Achilles Heel of the German armed forces. They couldn't even feed their own army properly let alone inmates and POW's. The Jewish persecution was downright stupid apart from being evil all the rolling stock and administration wasted and their own forces missed out. If Hitler had been somebody like Franco the war could have ended differently. Thank the six million who ended their lives horribly but the contribution in this regard is not mentioned. Just devalorized as mere victims.

If you machine gun inside a house with women and children it is rightly a war crime. Dropping a bomb from a height of 5 miles on a house with women and children is not. Lesson to be found guilty of a warcrime you must first lose a war. I don't condemn the bombing crews but the likes of Bomber Harris had a case to answer. Would have happened if he had been on the losing side.

Tank going into action with a tentative contact. Fired automatically unbuttoned and he spotted infantry in a forest. Without infantry he would probably been ambushed by a Panzerfaust. Infantry nearby is a must for armor. I appreciate your tests and take note of your findings. Spotting improvement with infantry is uncanny.

Not hard to guess in my case.

I see never read peoples wish list for the next engine. Like Advancing, No security Highest HQ gives the order to advance a little like ordering an artillery mission set the area. Medium security on company level. High security platoon level. split squads etc. No security on fast would be automatic road travel as quickly as possible. I agree it can be a pain but there are some methods around it. My major gripe is pathfinding but on this website I stick to suggestions to make it better.

I don't promote it! If I liked it I would have kept it. Here is the opinion of a very good Combat Mission player. I agree with him it is only RTS in other words a serious shortcoming, you can't put yourself in every soldiers boots. His opinion I agree with Yep, the infantry models and movement to contact are functional but once in combat they become pretty sketchy. However, the vehicles and physics are very good. Conclusion if you like the WeGO system and detailed infantry management don't buy this game. Otherwise have a look and make up your own mind. I am not going to be told not to comment or talk about anything.

Like the "Magnificent Seven". Back to the movie. Good to know no need to model two hand grenades on a rope to wind around the gun barrel after you throw it. I thought that was neat of the tank-hunter team.

Sweet animals but there is only one guy who gets away with it.

"A dingo got my baby!" was the start of Australia's longest legal battle.
