Ah, good points, gentlemen.

Thanks for the response, Pip!

Regarding your second point, I do see how that could upset a scenario's expected result. On the other hand, I don't see how a player placing units on the map in areas where he's allowed could be considered a cheat.

Love this game, have a couple of suggestions: 1) Undo feature for single-player -- Many times I've clicked the wrong button on my mouse and been stuck with a move I didn't intend. 2) Deploy mode for all scenarios -- Might be the old board wargamer in me, but I'd always like the option of setting up ...

Good stuff, Merr, I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Great advice Merr, thanks! Reminds me of some lessons I learned from a movie called 84 Charlie Mopic . When ambushed: 1) Control panic 2) Determine the direction of the threat 3) Take action Up to the third mission in Blitzkreig France now. Beat it tonight after several tries. I'm finding that this ...

Thanks, Merr! This is my second campaign, and it's a bit more challenging than Western Desert. Perhaps that's because we expect the French to be a pushover, but that isn't the case (and tactically, French units did frustrate the Wehrmacht on occasion). These missions really punish mistakes.

Thanks, Pip. Looking forward to trying some scenario design when I get a chance.

This mission is supposed to be about holding a bridge, and that's not a problem. It's the counterattack that's stalling me. I can take the village on the German right, but I always seem to fall short with the one on the left. Once I nearly "tagged the flag" with a Panzer II on the final tu...

Once I selected the correct force mix, it wasn't even all that difficult. Initially, I assumed that because I had to move quickly, I should equip with extra tanks. That didn't go very well; I kept coming up short within spitting distance of the third village. Using the two 25-pounders I was able to ...

Downloaded BA and the expansions last Friday, and I'm enjoying the game immensely. Played through the tutorial and the Western Desert campaign so far. Good challenge, had to try a few scenarios twice to beat 'em, still need a second crack at the final scenario with the Tiger to finish the campaign. ...
