Stuka Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by dog6880: My attacking men hear a sound contact that is really a pillbox "Pill box?" when i click the national marker. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> That is what your men think they have seen/heard. At 600m I beleive your men are portrayed to have more of an unidentified contact rather than a 'sound contact', obviously a pillbox may not make much sound but as there is no 'visual contact?' warning, I'd pay more credence to the "?" as wether or not you have a sound or visual contact, it is still unidentifed.

BFCElvis Posted December 30, 2000 Author Share Posted December 30, 2000 joeski asked "1. I'm looking for advice on game improvement anyone (MarkIV, Germanboy, Peng, or anyone else want to take me to school?" Sorry to have not answered your question. I will take you to school. They call me the bus driver in the cesspool (well not really but a girl can dream). Send a set up file to the email in my profile and I would be happy to play you. ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar? Well, Great liars we send into the clergy. Good liars we groom for politics. Moderate liars we supply with sherrif's badges and guns, and the bad liars, well, we make them heroin whores. So what the hell do we do with the Terrible Liars? Well, it seems we turn them into physicists called "chrisl." Peng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binkie Posted December 31, 2000 Share Posted December 31, 2000 You people have brazenly succeeded in establishing a new faucet for cess! I can't believe the moderators have not seen through this ridiculous veil!! Okay, so anyhoo, I have a question. I am about to play a notoriously tough opponent and he has given me free reign on map generation before I purchase. I have 3000 pts, using short-75 rules, it's a meeting engagement, and I'm Americans. So considering I will be outclassed tactically and experientially, what purchasing/map strategy combo would give me the best chance? A plan that's simple to execute...

A plan that's simple to execute...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Most of the following will be under the assumption that your opponent, like many CMers who take the German side, will go tank-heavy. Smoke and cover are your friends. Don't expose your tanks to fire until they're very close to your enemy's tanks, and if at all possible, take flank or rear shots rather than head on. The M18 Hellcat is a cute little TD, and with Allied tanks more likely to use tungsten now, can kill most German AFVs easily. It's still best to avoid head-on confrontations, however, as the M18 has insanely thin armor. Use infantry aggressively to ambush his armor, killing it at best, causing it to button up at worst. Once buttoned, his tanks will be easier to kill. Figure out what the crucial terrain is and ignore the flags for the time being. It's much more important to seize the best ground than to go after victory points. Wipe your opponent out and victory will come anyway. Good luck! ------------------ Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
