RE: Early war - Weasel - 11-12-2007 Grumbler Wrote:19 men. The trucks only carry 18, which just makes them about uasless, except for dragging Infantry guns around. Scrap the wagons and eat the horses:pullhair: The trucks were purchased strictly for your ATG and IG. The 5th army was not mobile in 1920, the Russians were far more modern at this time then the Poles. RE: Early war - Grumbler - 11-12-2007 After the polish squads get shot up and run away, they fit in a truck just fine. Then you can get them back up to the front quickly. I am glad I don't speak Polish. I have a feeling what they are saying when the truck shows up isn't very nice. RE: Early war - shortreengage - 11-12-2007 Try man handling your 37mm ATGs into the buildings to cover thr streets. I have no complaints about the scenario from the Polish side. I'm jst glad the Russians did'nt have any of those big romboid tanks crawling around through town RE: Early war - Grumbler - 11-12-2007 I'm not complaining.:hissy: I just wish I had a little more mobility. You have been retired too long. It's when the troops stop grumbling (wishing for some sort of uber weapon, or in this case wheels) that you have a problem. Grumbling troops are happy troops.:happy: So when your troops were grumbling about your SOS tasting like used brillecreme with embedded wood chips, they were actually happy they had something warm to eat. They just didn't want it to go to your head.:rolleyes: RE: Early war - Weasel - 11-12-2007 Grumbler Wrote:I'm not complaining.:hissy: I just wish I had a little more mobility. I know you weren't complaining, I was just stating why the buy went the way it did.

I've always wondered why SP allows guns and mortars into buildings that are still standing. Is the mortar shooting through the roof , how the hell do you get an ATG or an 88 into a house without it crashing through the floor, not to mention getting it through a door. Now if the house is destroyed I could understand it. RE: Early war - shortreengage - 11-12-2007 I agree. But some of the lighter pieces might be able to be manhandled into position. Who is to say that a rubled or standing building is completly destroyed or intact. OTOH firing mortars from inside a building is much harder to justify. I would not want to fire a bazooka or RR gun from a confined space. All that said the Japanese had some very clever bunkers for mortars. RE: Early war - keepitloki - 11-12-2007 I thought each map was supposed to be 50 meters across? One average house dosn't fill this space, maybe the mortar/heavy ATG is set up in the backyard/other area sheltered by the building. RE: Early war - Vesku - 11-12-2007 No one knows how much damaged the buildings are, there may be only three walls and the roof which allows even a tank parked in shooting through the window. Germans did fire 88s from buildings in NA, those buildings were probably just huts made of mud though. Keepitloki has a good point but there is one tiny problem, if you tow a gun there you always crash into the building. RE: Early war - keepitloki - 11-13-2007 So how do I report the result of Keepitloki vs. Model? |
