Status: offline 		This may be a basic question, but where do I look to see/modify the experience ratings while setting up a battle? I want to modify this rating so I can avoid the 65/70 experience point differential problem in H2H pricing.

As far as I can tell, the base experience rating is random and unchangeable when setting up PBEMs.:confused:

Thanks

This is one way to avoid purchase problems becuase you purchase the units at a cheaper cost then increase their attributes.

Status: offline 		Rarity ON? Bite me. I am sick of buying a platoon of MMG's and then none of my infantry units get any. Or, I get the MG's and only one platoon of infantry in an entire company. I will just play with guys who don't overdo things.;)

Goblin- A Goblin is feeling ill again...wtf?

Status: offline 		as long as it's agreed upon by all...that's fine...I just like Rarity ON because it doesn't allow the overloading of a certain weapon.

Again...it's about preferences. But as long as things are discussed before hand...and you know your opponent won't willingly stack the deck...then you can modify things accordingly.

Status: offline 		Changing unit experience levels sounds like a PITA since I'm not a user of the editor.

I like true troop/rarity ON also. It forces you adopt different tactics for each battle. Except I always find that when I play the US, I get none or one .50 cal MG.:mad:

Status: offline 		OK, but you should know that Panzer Leo is going to make bazookas within squads shoot only to range 4 with almost no chance of hitting at 4 (big penalty applied). Bazooka AT units will have a range of 7 but won't be as good at shooting as the squads are. Sounded like a good compromise to me.

And, German infantry will be reduced in cost to 26 to 28 pts for the most part IIRC. Armor prices stay the same.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the update. Not to get involved in it again, but having the same weapon have two different ranges? One will probably say that the Bazooka Team is better trained than the Bazookamen in the squad. That should be reflected by the experience influence on the hit roll, not by ranges. Now there will have to be separate range bands for skilled and unskilled users for weapons? An SPAA crew can fire out to 20 hexes, but a non SP crew can shoot the thing to 30 hexes? Or did I guess incorrectly? Maybe the Bazooka Teams have longer barrels than the Squad User. Or bigger propellant charges?

Status: offline 		It has to do with the fact that squads have a better fire rating than they otherwise would with a bazooka due to their rifle and MG skill being high. An AT team has the more realistic targeting ability of a bazooka (i.e. low) but the longer range was given to them so they could bust houses if they wanted to. It was just a way to limit the "sharpshooting" squads from hitting tanks at 500 yards with a bazooka. No other dual range changes were suggested.

Status: offline 		Thats my point. There are alot of weapons in the game that could hit a dam house at longer ranges than their listed range in the game, but they are set at 'effective' ranges. The bazooka, of all things, should not be an exception. This is going to promote the purchase of 10million AT teams even more.

Like I said, thanks for the update, I'm out of this one though.

Goblin;)

Just for giggles....I decided to install the new version of H2H (when its posted) but keep the ce version, just in case I don't like the way it plays. Knowing P Leo I suspect it'll come out fine. Just an idea.
