Hello All,
As Petri pointed out he was able to take my units out in Arracourt and not all of them were disrupted.
Assults work very much like the original EF game.
Not all defenders need to be disrupted in order to have success.
In fact EA makes engineer units (especially the ones with a crap hard attack factor) actually valuable against pillboxes. The can't damage the units inside the pillbox (crap hard attack factor) but the can assult them into submission.
For an example of this please play the scenario Big Bully
The Albanians have a numer of pillboxes with high morale units inside. The only way for the Italians to have success is to assault, assault and assault again.
Other units that are much more valuable with EA are Russian SMG's and Japanese infanty. Their very high assault factors really shine with EA verses non EA where most any assault factor takes out disrupted units.
Also armor (especially low assault factor ones) are very vulnerable when in city type hexes. Units with a decent assault factor can take out armor by assaulting verses shooting. And high assault units with no hard attack (like Russian SMG's) can cause havoc on main battle tanks that are in city type hexes.
And finally to Huib and Ed: Grow up.
You two don't like each other. Fine we get it.
Huib in this thread and the one on Customer Scenario Spotlight you jumped on Ed for giving his opinion. He did not attack or mention you in any way.
I am actually disappointed with the moderators for not removing your attagonistic posts.
And Ed I think you should strive to rise above responding to Huib's juvenile posts directed in your direction. You may also want to calm down a bit with people like Petri. There may be no kinder, well meaning person on the boards then Petri. His posts are nothing more than trying to learn. In this thread you jumped on him. Lighten up a bit, not everyone is attacking you.
God, seriously you two enough.
Anyways I like EA.
Thanx!
Hawk
