Commander Posted October 27, 2001 Share Posted October 27, 2001 I was playing a QB yesterday and moving infantry forward under smoke. One of my AV's ran over the infantry and the infantry sustained two casualties (My leg!! My leg!! each time). The group moving under smoke was not under fire at the time. Whats up with that? I didn't think this was possible. Has it happened to anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJMello Posted October 27, 2001 Share Posted October 27, 2001 Nope. Didn't think vehicles could run over troops. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Meyer Posted October 27, 2001 Share Posted October 27, 2001 They can't run over troops! Most likly it was hidden sqaud, MG or something that shot at your troops, but you did not spot them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patgod Posted October 27, 2001 Share Posted October 27, 2001 maybe they hit a mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted October 27, 2001 Author Share Posted October 27, 2001 Your probably right. I know there was an enemy sharpshooter on the loose but I never did find him (even after the game was over). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6(sic)6 Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 wouldnt you have heard a shot if it was someone shooting at you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a long range sniper shot you should even be able to determine the general area the firer was in. Even if you can't see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted October 28, 2001 Author Share Posted October 28, 2001 That's why I was so perplexed. There was no audible gunfire at the time of the casualties. Maybe the infantry stepped on something really nasty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiggDogg Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 Maybe there was a silencer on the sharpshooter's rifle? Maybe there was a silencer on the mines that your men stepped on? :eek: :eek: :eek: Maybe we are all taking leave of our senses? Maybe we need some levity? Yeah.

Juju Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 Say, Commander, you still got a save game for that turn? I'd like to take a look/listen to it. Could you send it to me? Adress is in the profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A turn is saved before the outcomes are computed, and since a good bit of it is random, you could go back to a saved turn a hundred times and get a slightly different outcome each time. Recently I was watching the replay of a turn when my neighborhood suffered a power outage. After the power came back on and I restarted computer, game, and turn, I noticed that this time around a bazooka team that had broken and run the first time through, now held their ground. You never can tell... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adress is in the profile<hr></blockquote> Unfortunately, the only save position I have is just before I plotted the moves where the incident happened. At the time that it happened, the casualties happened together with barely a second between them. The only thing going on was a AV right on top of the infantry unit and there were a few rounds of friendly smoke still dropping. I thought sharpshooter but there is no way a sharpshooter could reload, aim and shoot twice like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted October 28, 2001 Share Posted October 28, 2001 other funny thing hapened to me and Darren Norton in a recent game. A flak vehicle and a HMC are racing towards eachother on a small narrow road through the woods. Than it happened,they collided! After that the flak vehicle drove back and let the HMC pass on to continue without firing on eachother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 'shot' from a sharpshooter is not one round (i.e. one bullet), but one 'volley.' Therefore a sharpshooter is able to take out more than one target with a single 'shot.' Tanks, guns, mortars, AT units and arty count ammo in individual rounds. Infantry, MG's and sharpshooters count ammo expenditure in volleys.

Commander Posted October 29, 2001 Author Share Posted October 29, 2001 Thats it then. I am the first to play a game where the Axis had a secret weapon and used it on my units. An invisible sharpshooter with an infrared scope and silencer did the dirty deed. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
