That's a good point. If the screen are like nothing you have ever seen then the system requirements will be like nothing you've ever seen for a WW2 shooter.

I completed this as Axis against UK/Commonwealth computer. This is a fun scenario, particularly pleasing to those who prefer long pursuits and mobile warfare as opposed to sitting in trenches-this probably applies to 99.9% of players. The exhiliration of pursuing the British after the fall...

Yes, I know for sure that at Kursk a common German formation was a rhombus with main battle panzers on the outside and half-tracks and support units trying to find some safety on the inside. The rhombus is a large unit formation though, battalion total strength at least, and not too suitable for...

I'm trying to figure out what the advantages of wedge panzer formation would be in SPWAW but I can't. All I know is that zee Germans used them a lot in WW2. - - - - -

My two sections of 2 vehicle Wirbelwind and 2 vehicle Ostwind shot down 4 Mustangs in the campaign generator mission I just completed. I think when deployed together in this type of a "mixed" platoon these weapons are very effective defense against jabo. The higher ROF of the quad Wirbelwind...

Offer them a copy of Steel Panthers World at War...hie hie hie

How many FOs do I need per each task force? In my current generated campaign I have two foot teams but I don't find them terribly useful, except when defending objectives in good visibility. When advancing they're never close enough to the hexes I want to bombard.

I think it is time for me to hit the movie theater again...after some two years.

I tried a Gulf War scenario in SPMBT and the one shot-one kill capability of the 1991 Abrams does make an impression. If SPWAW it's common to watch the first one, two or three shots smack the dirt as the gunner tries to figure out his range.

Have you seen the effects of the quadruple 20mm Flakvierling against allied infantry? I'm so impressed I'm considering changing one of my panzer platoons (in the ongoing campaign) to self-propelled Flakvierling. They could accompany the tanks in the assault. Perfectly healthy enemy infantry...

Well, the first reviews are in and the movie is a disappointment. The average score it gets is something like 6 out of 10.

Fine novelists haven't stopped writing, have they? There are so many phenomenals books that could be converted into a movie script and presto-you have an Academy Award winning picture.

Ohhhh, why don't they make a movie entitled IL-2 Sturmovik with Tom Cruise as the pilot and Will Smith as the rear gunner. Their pool of ideas is dry like that parched, cracked bottom of an ancient lake in New Mexico.
