Status: offline 		Okay, here I am playing the Gotanda's Advance scenario and it's all going great. So far, all I've lost is a single squad of infantry and a sniper (why are there snipers who can't shoot in this?) and I'm closing in on the IG with three Loyd carriers, one with a fresh squad in it, it's been nicely surpressed so it's not shooting back when [B][COLOR=red]>WHAM!<[/COLOR] [/B], out of nowhere the carrier with the troops is assaulted and [COLOR=red]DESTROYED[/COLOR] by a Japanese sniper! With [COLOR=red]WHAT???[/COLOR] Then, to make matters worse, no one can hit the guy, the troops are completely surpressed and on the very next turn he wiped them out!

Who [B]IS[/B] this guy??
I thought Indiana Jones was American!

Next campaign I want a [B][COLOR=orange]COMPANY[/COLOR][/B] of these guys!

:mad: :eek: :mad: :confused:

Status: offline 		Long ago i quit even thinking bout snipers as part of the war. The ones i have had get 1shot at 50 to 75 percent. Bam miss return fire knocks him out. I have put them in trees rocks buildings never op fire with them. Same thing the enemy has radar and finds them. They are junk except maybe for fos. scouts and that is iffy too.

I roll up on a Russion T-28 and smoke him with a Pz III. As I move on past the flaming wreck, my Pz III blows up, assaulted by the crew still hulking down in the burning wreck. Give their tank commander or group captain a medal for rallying his troops so quickly. And for their small arms manufacturer as they must have swarmed over my tank like a swarm of bees, all 3 of them. :)

...which is why at least the Germans adopted "scratching fire".. use one tank's MGs to scratch it's buddy tank. Which brings us to number two: NEVER EVER leave a tank on it's own. It WILL die.

Conversation among the crew of the second tank.

"Hey Hans! I found it says right here to use the MG and NOT the main gun"

Hans: "Opps"

That was part of the point I was making with this one sniper...he had no grenades, just a rifle. While I suppose a lucky shot could have taken out the fuel tank and ignited it (I think Loyd's used diesel though), thus stunning the troops in the back, I find it really, really difficult to believe a sniper who gets two shots per turn can take out a squad of 8 in one turn. Not unless he was loaded up with a few of those "magic" bullets Oswald is supposed to have used 20 years later... Hmmmm!

Sure! :D

Or in their haste to get away from the exploding truck the squad all fell in a ditch and broke their necks. :D

I guess we'll never know just how the computer came up with [B]THAT[/B] particular roll of the dice, but it sure does make you sit back and go..."HUH?"
