Don't know about cheating, as I was still playing my 1st two campaigns against him, (Herrlishiem & Goodwood), but I'd gathered from other's posts that he was a lucky SOB. But then to quote, (or mis-quote), Napolean, "Give me a lucky General rather than a good one!"

I too lost a lot AFV's due to bogging, (8 or 9 over 40 turns - was still in my 3rd battle), none of which were recovered, but as I'm fairly new to playing Op's I'm not sure if this is unusual. Yes, he seems to be fairly lucky with both his hit, (which I assumed was due to experienced gun crews), and kill rates, (which I assumed was due to better guns!); but as 'Bluehand' said, he defended too far back, (like right at the map edge). As a result although I was taking horrific casaulties in both armour and my meagre infantry support, (just like in the real battle), as there was no defence in depth I was managing to roll up part of his line each Battle and anything panicking ran straight off the map. Don't know how the rest of the campaign would have gone, but I though I was do reasonably ok considering.

As for Herrlishiem, the only odd thing about that one was that none of any of my armour that were knocked out / abandoned were recovered, (which considering they included 2 Panthers, a Tiger, and a Jagdpanther was somewhat irritating. However as we were into the final battle and I don't think he would have had ANYTHING left by the end, they weren't needed.

As for anything else that could be suspicious, well yes he was quite specific as to how he wanted files named, (so he was a control freak - I could live with that), and yes he told me not to re-name files between battles, (which was odd becuase I didn't); but I only ever had 1 of my turns sent back to me by mistake. However when I pointed this out to him the correct file was accompanied by several choice expletives, (which I took to be directed at himself), and it was oddly only about 24hrs before he was banned.

Lucky: hell yes, keen: no-one does that many games in that short a time without being so, cheating: don't know, if he was, why: only he could say.

Personally, it baffles me.
