Anybody have any experience with the cd version of winSPWW2? I do have it and the latest patch myself, and I'm thinking of diving into it in a couple of weeks (vacation) but for now I'm just picking long campaign forces. I'm curious how the new reaction fire is working, as it sounds like it would bring quite a bit more to the game and in particular it would fascinate me if anybody had played it long enough to see if the AI had used it very well. I would guess the AI would not be too terribly good with it on the first patch introducing the new reaction fire, but would like to hear about anybody's opinions on it just now.
Basically the new reaction fire is the old one with a filter. You can tell your units individually what to shoot at, at what range, at what minimum and maximum armor thickness, what range to engage infantry, and a few other filters that can be used. As some of you know, it's not like the SPWAW system where the user can pick two opportunities to select a target during the enemy turn, so it lacks that direct human input to a degree, and though I see the merits of both systems while the enemy is processing his turn, this filtering could weed out a lot of hypersensitive shooting we have seen so much. At least from the conceptional angle it would be a way to allow free-flow reaction fire without part or all of that fire having the disadvantage of targeting the first thing that moves, or having practically unlimited opfire.
