I've been away from BA for several months. I have not reviewed all the hundreds of posts since my last visit so I hope this has not been brought up before (I did a quick search and found nothing). But I saw this topic about an Eastern Front BA2 and I got very interested and wanted to make one observ...

VICTORY !!!

... and ... after a change in strategy, it wasn't even close.

Have a nice day

I tried again and failed. ... twice since my last post Is anyone who has won this sce be willing to confess which flag they decided to hold to the bitter end? I've been trying the VP at the house ... but I'm thinking maybe I need to circle the wagons elsewhere. And ... I've bought a second tank and ...

No no no. You misunderstood my post. I do not use cheats in any wargame. I never have or never will. You're right what's the point !! My point was that the sce is very very hard. I've started another ... and I'm going to keep going till I win. I usually do. And hearing others say they've beat it com...

I tried it again. There's no way to win this scenario unless you know the cheats. OR, you get lucky and find the way to win thru dozens of game plays.

Dittor Caratacus I relaoded and upgraded my BA game and have been doing OK through Africa and now Normandy. I have not won all battles 1st time through but have struggled and won 2nd replays. But this one is just too overwhelming. Does anyone have a strategy to hold on to one VP? I also noticed afte...

ditto old warrior's suggestion Other Eastern Front titles independent from others: Kursk South Kursk North Korsun-Cherkassy Pocket Another twist would be to have titles for the Commanders. Such as Raus and his battes northwest of Stalingrad along the Aksay River; Manstein's actions around Kharkov; o...

I"m one of the first group of players who bought this game when it came out at Matrix. ... and really like it still after a lot of playing I skimmed through the Manual Additions thread and I've looked at the tweaks.txt and other files for this but did not see anything on: ... Is there a way to ...

Do you have to pay for the latest (1.6) update?

that's good for me ... panic does strange things to people. What I want is the player controlled ability to back up my tank a sector or two. Many times I've "hunted" ... sneaked around and came up on a superior tank and wished I could back up behind a building or ridge then turn tail and r...

If the scenarios are getting an update, I'd like to see all scenarios with infantry, MG, Mortar, and any human elements have Medics. I know some scenarios should have more limitation on medical care but scenario's with no medics seems a little unrealistic. You can manage the level of medical care av...

The addition of reverse will make this one of the best armored combat games on the market ... imho. I really like this game but no reverse for tanks really dampened my enjoyment because I could see the potential from an armored conflict standpoint. I guess one good thing was that I focused on using ...

Reverse would be my first choice. You can't back up ... if you run into trouble with a tank and want to back out of it, you have to present your rear end to the enemy Medics should be a part of every scenario with foot soldiers except maybe a scouting mission. (maybe ... but I could argue a medic sh...

Here's my unique problem. Some scenarios have names that don't match the single player (AI) scenario's. (like desert rats or desert encounter) Some of the PBEM scenarios have the same name as the single player scenarios. (like clash of armor) Is there a list of PBEM scenario's that come stock with B...

I've seen German recon vehicles (Puma's I think) on numberous occasions in the Normandy campaign slug it out with Shermans and M18s (etc) for several shots back and forth. I have not researched this but that does not seem right. IMHO a Sherman (even a lowly 75mm) or a Churchill (etc) would dispense ...

I agree with the soldier ... there seems to be too few grunts, engineers, MG teams, etc. as compared to the normal scenario. I would like to see roughly twice the number of infantry in a scenario. Plus I think a medic needs to be in every scenario except maybe a deep recon mission or the occassional...

Being able to combine infantry units (engineers, rangers and even two man teams (mortar, 30 cal, bazooka, etc) would be a good addition. Especially when the scenario does not have a Medic. When you don't have a Medic you really have to protect your foot soldiers. It would also be nice to be able to ...

I have a MP question. When I go to the MP screen I see a list of games with red padlocks and green (opened) padlocks. (I have not tried to join one yet but I will in the next day or two ...) but, are the red (or locked) games, games with passwords that are challenges made to an individual or specifi...

No because think about this: A newcomer buys the game but never visits the forums. (I understand that the majority of sales are from those that don't visit forums) So he/she goes to the multiplayer feature and what do they see? NOTHING NADA ZILCHO BLANKO, so they have no way of knowing there's 100'...

After playing several more battles where I'm winning around 50%, I feel a need to reiterate my desire for the next expansion to be an eastern front set of scenarios and equipment databases. I know eastern front has been done to death but for an exellent engine like this, having a set of stock Axis v...
