The FO is active while riding on a vehicle

i played a game today that included multiple aircraft in it.  i also think that the rules that are involved in the role of aircraft are in need of some rewriting.  I lost 2 snipers and 4 snlf fanatics before i was able to take down only one of his aircraft.

I think they should only be able to attack solders in the open or on hill but not in forest cover.  When it comes to vehicles there should be a bonus on cover saves in forests

Something that has worked for me is to have one FO and three mortars placed in a line across the playing field to triangulate on either one or many targets.  Haven’t lost an FO yet

i would by it to if it was different from the original.  all of the rules and turns would have to be different to accommodate the differences in battle forms.  It is going to take longer to move and attack on the sea then on the ground.  Cover will have to be retooled obviously

That is what i was doing but someone brought up that an soldier can not use any effects while there are riding on a vehicle

I was under the impresion the it actualy fires something at the head of the RPG.  If this is true it has an amazing targeting computer.

I cant find a better article, but the technology uses a type of radar to detect and intersept the RPG and destroy the explosive part allowing the projectiles impact to be absorbed by the armor.  If it really works like they say it does it could help to protect lives.  Too bad it does not protect from land mines and improvised explosives or IED’s.  Kinda cool though.

you could just say that they can’t be targeted at long range but can be at medium and short

i found it helpfull to keep them moving and bring them out when they are needed.  Kinda like a booster to my mortars and aircraft.  They are weak though.  Maybe there should have a bonus in cover on hills.

and a sweet new year people!!!

Speaking of city play, there needs to be an in city battle map.  You could have special rules for individual units.  You could even have hidden units that reveal themselves when an enemy apeares

next to the Type 2 Ka-Mi Amphibious Tank.  What a piece of s**t.

i think more of the Times writers should be put in jail.

i’m in.  I love a good discusion. I am downloading it right now

Bring on the forward observers.  Its about time we will be able to fire over mountains.  One thing though,  how will the planes work.  For speclations sake are they going to release a “air” map for dog fights.  Probably not but this is going to be an awesome addition.  I wonder if the point amounts will be raised by 100.

Soviet Union all the way.  Next to the Americans they are the most well rounded force.  I was even playing and winning with them before the snipers of set II.

I think that the paratrooper rules are good.  The question i have is do you collect the initiative from a paratrooper that has not entered play or do you have to wait untill he is on the board

How about some Commanders like Patton or Rommel

I now how that feels.  I baught a new PSP about a month ago and not seen it since.  She has even bought 3 games and 2 movies for it with out me even knowing.  She did the same thing with my Xbox too.

You know you can get both Gostbusters for 10 dollers now on DVD, along with all three of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

While i did not meet my significant other on-line i am seeing another pattern forming here.  I am also a vet but of the latest war. I spent 5 years as a Marine in the airwing.  I now attend college for ancient literature and Archeology.  I am also an ardent student of warfare and leadership.  i travel often and will be driving to Honduras from Oklahoma at the end of December.  So what level a I, in fact what kind of geek am i.

i am kinda split on the idea of a “hide” rule.  On one hand it would even the playing field for some units, making them a chance to attack.  But on the other it just would not be practical for the game.  The game is designed for some one to be able to take advantage of there surroundings and to use it to the enemies disadvantage.

Besides if you want to sneak up on someone just drop some “screaming eagles” and there captain and do some damage.

but Japan has to have something that gives them, at least, a chance to contend in the game.  At least they got Paratroopers and a sniper.

Is there any one in the area that wants to start league play?

The Polish Calvalryman is a nice touch to the game.  Thay will be easy to use in groups of 3 or 4 against soldiers.  Im thinking the best way to use them will be to hide and rush machine gun nests.
