Hi Leo,

All sounds good,
But i'd like to have a "no excessive z-fire" rule, also a slightly smaller map,say 70X80 perhaps?.

You can set up the battle,circa Sept. '39.

My EM is correct and current in the members list.

Edit} btw i have the cd, just don't use slot 0 or 6,(-;

I don't accept the "no excessive z-fire" rule. I want to have possibility "use z-fire" always, when the combat situation requires it.

We're playing a battle with Leo and 60 or 70% of his shots is with Z. :)

You intensively use Z-fire too, not only I...

All gamers plays by those rules on which he agrees. If to you restriction of Z-fire is important, it was necessary to speak IN ADVANCE about it, as Gila.

BTW, Z-fire (not-aim fire) was very often used in all real battles for suppress and even destroy enemy troops. Rifles, SMG's, BMG's, grenades, especially MG's and various artillery systems was used for it. Plays without Z-fire is unrealistic.

Re Z fire : Recon by fire and suppressive fire have been doctrine for decades. I feel that the way it is represented in SPWW2/MBT is very accurate. I've seen posts complaining that Z fire will hit troops behind buildings but it does happen. There are ricochets, bullets bouncing and spinning off in all directions, not to mention the use of arcing fire by direct fire weapons which is a certain talent in itself and very effective when executed by a soldier who is adept at the technique.

Also might i add regarding Z fire going through buildings/trees etc: Each hex represents 50 meters of terrain and although there may be buildings/trees in the hex the ability for Z fire weapons to fire through said hex's represents the size/density of buildings/trees in a particular hex. Some hex's won't allow Z fire to pass through because of the density of trees/buildings in that particular hex while other building/tree hex's will allow Z fire to pass through. This means there are less buildings/trees in a particular hex.
If a player had to be concerned with ammo resupply then he would be less likely to use Z fire extensively. Soon I will offer to the Blitz SP ladder my solution to this issue.

I've played with several players included Oldrocky and have not used both z. But as you say. The rules are laid before and do not talk about the use of z. I always use z but measurably. With you I'm using too much because I had to respond to its shape. If a new battle I know its modality.

Anyway, everyone plays how it is pleasant to them. If for you some restrictions of Z-fire are important - will stipulate them in advance. Is it difficult? For example, stipulating rule of "5-10 % artillery limit" and it is OK, and nobody complain...

Never mind. I will adapt to his game.
