I have no problem with that kill, a Hellcat is a tank killer by design. good thing the Tiger didn't see you first though, Hellcats blow up like balloons at a bar-b-que !!

Thanks for the nod, I enjoy our games alot. Most of my so called 200 games are single player, only about 20 MP. But now i just do MP, as with all AI's it has weaknesses. I don't mind the Tiger dying from a rear shot, the armor was weak near the drive motor housing, but face-on the Tiger was very har...

what did you use to kill the Panther - a side shot from a good tank could kill a Panther ?

this is very funny when i read it here, all nice and calm - but 3 hours ago i would have ripped your "Haunted Tank" into very small pieces and then ate them !!! i just think there could be some less dependency on the roll of the dice, or some sort of barrier protocol that prevents an M5 ki...

Sorry, I should have been clearer in my topic post - those examples were just 3 of over 25 I have recorded that make so sense. ok - one or 2 lucky hits is acceptable, but I just lost another Tiger in Along the Road to virgin Sherman max range, front on, first shot, then that very same Sherman killed...

I have to agree on some of the points. but i feel the real issue is that the dice-roll (random factor) is way too high in game play.

I have posted a topic on this..... this is a great game, but a M5 killing a Tiger from 6 hexes away on the first shot - just not going to happen !!!!

Too much dice-roll not enough reality, a fatal flaw ??

This otherwise outstanding game suffers from an almost fatal flaw. There is just too much dice-roll in the result. The game does not account for reality in the field of combat arms. Not even close. Example 1 – Brocade Village. Sent a Panther after a Sherman, the Sherman fired from maximum distance f...

Unhandeled Exception when opening the copy of a Campagine

in line 2 below, from your site, i am assuming that it should read ...Data\Squads...... (nb: the backslash) so I did all this and try to open a scenario in the editor (e.g. DESERT1.BAM) and I get: *** Unhandled Exception! ExpCode:0xC000005 ExpFlags:0 ExpAddress:0x004046F2 Please Report! (all this in...
