Abrams Posted June 17, 2000 Share Posted June 17, 2000 Hi All, When does one "know" when they know the game well enough to play a veteran ? I just played C.E. as the Germans vs the computer Americans ... the computer had +150% balance. I lasted all 40 turns and battled them to a 48 to 49 point draw with FoW on (the only way to play it , I've found ! ) . Do I need to actually win this battle to be able to compete with vets who have been here from the beginning ? More practice ... Oh Darn . Some other ??s 1. Are Victory points also based on the starting force size ? I was thinking that all those dead squads ,(from camera angle 5 there were at least 3-4 dead squads surounding each surviving German unit --my VolksGrenadier SMG squads were SUPERB!-rather grisly site , actually!), should be worth more in the end, considering my size disadvantage . 2. When playing FoW in PBEM , do all of those Stars and Crosses show up to give away your troop concentrations ? Or is it a true open battlefield until you actually hear or spot an enemy ? 3 Play Balance -- someone earlier this week asked whether or not the balance could be changed for both sides to give a "foggier" FoW feeling in PBEM -- I like this idea a lot,especially if Victory Points are awarded on a scale taking into account each sides start up forces. What a game guys !! After I get the "Real Game" , I was wondering if someone could help this computer illiterate move the demo scenarios into the real game area? I'd also like the demos from the beta version (2 are different , correct?) Thanks to All. This group has been real friendly to us newbies -- are you all really that friendly or do you smell fresh meat ? Abrams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OberGrupenStompinFeuhrer! Posted June 17, 2000 Share Posted June 17, 2000 G'day Abrams, Have a go at Valley of Trouble, first as the Americans and then as the Germans. You could post for a PBEM before that, but you would be at a serious disadvantage. Ober ------------------ "Them Yankees couldn't hit the broa..."

You learn much faster against good opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
