:USERNAME: Posted September 23, 2000 Share Posted September 23, 2000 Well pardon me if I interject that the issues that I raised were not discussed. I want to know if using infantry units to mark ambush sites and then gamily using an tank/sp to glom on to them OK? Thanks Pham. And please refrain from calling me insane.

Lewis<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Stop being insane then. And, your issue was answered, just not directly. If a tank plots a point to ambush, and an in-command squad is directed to ambush it, it can be assumed that the directions of where the ambush is to take place would have been relayed by radio(Tank to HQ, then to squad). At any rate, it's not my fault that you post a question and then get into a pissing match that distracts people from that same question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:USERNAME: Posted September 23, 2000 Share Posted September 23, 2000 Well let me thank you again but I was hoping for BTS to address the issue. Is that OK with you? Lewis PS "At any rate, it's not my fault that you post a question and then get into a pissing match that distracts people from that same question." SC and I were taking care of some old business. It didnt effect you and I am quite disturbed by your alpha dog mentality towards this board. And maybe we can just leave it at that. Or is that insane and you need to comment on that also?

For example I just finsihed a PBE< game and had set-up an ambush against some German HTs. Unfortuantly, two HQ infantry units lead the way and triggered my ambushes and made it very difficult to slow that advance. It be nice to have more options than just "ambush" the first thing that comes along this spot. Cav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted September 23, 2000 Share Posted September 23, 2000 Uhm... I think I can leave this one open for now? Well... I'll try at least Pham, the answer is that the C&C range simulates the effective radius runners, hand singals, shouting, etc. can work. Obviously this is an abstraction since, given enough time and propper cover, a Platoon HQ could communicate (slowly) with a squad anywhere on the map. But the range is there to simulate effective, on the move, communication abilities. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted September 23, 2000 Share Posted September 23, 2000 Lewis, if I understand you correctly... are you asking why it is that an AT gun, out of C&C, can target an infantry created Ambush marker? If so, the answer is... there is no point in preventing this. The AT gun can put down its own Ambush marker in the same exact spot, which means it accomplishes the same exact thing as if it targeted the infantry Ambush marker.

Steve<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Steve No. I am saying that a infantry HQ can put down a ambush marker far out of range of a tank, I just did it in Singling, so that the tank can target an ambush marker BEYOND 300 meters. Is this by design or serendipity or what? Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can a squad target an ambush marker created by an AT weapon instead of the squad's HQ? ------------------ -Bullethead Visit the brand new Raider Operations message board at www.delphi.com/raiderops Main site www.historicalgames.bizland.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least, that's the way I rationalize it to myself. 2LT: O.K. guys, you need to keep an eye on that AT gun over there. Don't fire unless they do, since we don't want to give away their position. BTW, what is the limit for number of ambush markers? Has anyone counted? ------------------ Canada: Where men were men, unless they were horses. -Dudley Do-right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
