Pass an IQ test with 'Readers Digest' and you had an IQ of 150 it boosted sales for that magazine. It depends how politically motivated the designer of the test is. Nuremberg backfired the anti-war protesters kept quoting it ad nauseum.

I read somewhere, an AFV is best to be unbuttoned to share C2 with infantry who should be 32mtrs (4tiles) or less from the AFV. That's what I go by and sure enough by the end of a turn you see the contact icon with the AFV. Have a veteran crew's vehicle unbuttoned from a tactical advantage point to do spotting. He will soon share his intel.

Yes, I tested it in FB 'Courage Conquers' they fired through a small circular fire arc. I send them on a deliberate suicide mission their decision was tactically correct.

That could have happened when I play against the AI most of the time, they get the first shot if I lead with armor. It is usually a combination of ATG and armor. I am happy to accept the fact the AI-Trigger doesn't spot but generates a tactical response which makes spotting first a probability.

Explain? The way I see it the Panther could have set off a trigger and make some enemy units advance. How does the algorithm work? Nobody knows, if Soviet infantry also advanced their contacts can be passed on to the SU76. The Panther didn't spot the SU76 let alone infantry. This happens when we play on Hotseat. This is what I do when I want to spot armor first. It is basics scouts, squad, platoon followed by supporting elements. If you lead armor first expect casualties. Like I said in my first post here, I am an awful designer.

Since I played Gog and Magog. King Tigers vs T34/76 and 76.2 mm ATG. Clever designer! Spoilers by the time you fight JS2 and SU152mm you have no optics gun-mantlet is damaged, radio is gone too.

Here is a guy worth watching.

You played against the AI? I think the following happened but I am an awful scenario designer. The Panther drove over a certain tile. A scenario designer could have painted there a 'Trigger' which gave the SU76 a Contact. This contact is the reason the SU76 had the first shot on your Panther. An APCR round from the SU76 can penetrate 92mm at 500 meters. Tip have infantry in front of armor they spot armor reliably at 1000 meters. You pass on the intel from the infantry by having the unit next to an unbuttoned tank. If the tank maneuvers to his target (which is his contact icon) the odds, are he will have the first shot in. Here I assigned the scouts to a Pzr4. They pass on their intel of the SU100 (on the left) to the Pzr4 by moving to the tank's proximity which must be unbuttoned. It is crucial that the Pzr4 gets in the first shot against a 100mm. The communication between a tank and infantry must be direct in the C2 they don't share radio. That is why my scouts are out of contact with their platoon.

I don't know either, usually the TacAI takes out enemy units.

You must look at your situation before you start. Example 500 points for touching objectives but no mention of enemy units means you get zero points for eliminating enemy forces.

In this game it is not recommended to shoot at any tank at the front even when you think your unit is far superior.

We use another app to overcome the small file sizes. I use this one Postimages — free image hosting / image upload Just paste the URL and a full resolution is displayed here. Like this.

Did you manually do the fire mission or did the TacAI waste the ammunition?

Russians are nice sociable people like anybody else their regime sucked at times. I remember fondly family friends Uncle Alex from Kazakhstan, Auntie Kira from Georgia. They committed the crime of surrendering at the time.

An intelligent cover arc. Example: when you position an HMG and deploy it the cover arc will suggest the beaten zone for this weapon. Now you have to fiddle with the LOS tool which works only where you will strike the tiles not where you hit an advancing enemy unit.

Depends what type of vehicle is the prime mover; the western allies were far more mobile with jeeps and 2½ton Studebaker trucks their guns had something resembling normal car tires. I won't lose any sleep over it I think the game is realistic with this. We don't know the strength if somebody is pumped up with the adrenalin of these guys.

It was the reason the kinetic energy depending AT tanks became soon obsolete after WW2. Once spotted they were history. They need to be mobile like tanks are.

An Original SAS Land Rover Series 2A 109 Pink Panther - The "Pinkie" (silodrome.com) The choice of pink may seem strange but it was discovered that it was the most effective color for camouflaging vehicles in the desert – particularly in the dawn and dusk parts of the day.

The PAK 38 was more the equal in weight of the Russian 45 mm. The Weight of a Honda Civic push starting of a small car can be done on a sealed road. I wouldn't try it on ploughed farmland or through shrub. I saw only the Pak 36 manhandled in the movie.

True and a wartime economy is not sustainable. Geld regiert die Welt. In German it rhymes, sounds bet than money rules the world.

That was a movie. The base plate of a 3inch mortar is heavy too to give an example. But that was for school-cadets lol

With the ammunition to transport they weight over a ton deployed the weight is over 500 kg. Walking pace cross country is realistic, I think. On a sealed road quick could be possible. 45 mm anti-tank gun M1937 (53-K) | Military Wiki | Fandom (wikia.org)

I quote Gog and Magog and I play on Iron. The positions with sandbags are not revealed till the ATG's start firing. 59 minutes left to play. The observer was present on the 2nd floor from the beginning. I know now that the position has an ATG with sandbags, just replayed it as a test. Home rule don't shoot at foxholes or sandbags till at least a unit with C2 leading back to an observer spot it with at least a sound contact icon. Tactically it makes sense pillboxes, trenches, or foxholes maybe a ruse to give your position away.

Yes, from making contact till the artillery arrives was just minutes. They called it in fifty meters or half a football field in front of their positions. The FO's did their job and give credit where it is due they were from NZ.
