Shermans v Panthers help

[phoenix]

Well, I'm happy not having facings, O. Schmidt, because the map and time scale would make it a bit strange I think to model facings - it's too coarse for that. You command 3 tanks, say, into a 250m hex area next to 3 tanks in the adjacent 250m hex area, both full of hedges or other features - you command them to attack for the next 15-30 mins. To model facing I would think you should be looking at moving tanks into 25m hexes for 5 minutes, perhaps, with a much much more detailed map. Maybe not even then. In addition, the mechansim for spotting (visible at end of turn) - which is, I think, the only reasonable one - tells against control of fine detail tactics. For these reasons, I'm happy to treat facing as abstractions and imagine (if you like) that when I command 3 tanks into such a large area they are on their own as to maneuvering to get the best shot etc over the next 15 mins or so. You have to imagine that's what they're actually doing.

But, it is possible with this system (I assume) to model a part of those historical tactics by ordering your tanks to either get in close or stand off. So I was curious whether this works in Sherman v Panther engagements.

Not much by way of response in here at the moment though.......I guess everyone busy, or just not playing this title so much any longer.
