After reading one post after another to finally try to understand all the ins and outs of artillery capture and spiking (still haven't found out where else it might be explained...like in the documentation?)...I successfully captured 4 batteries first being worth 240 points [4 x 60]. That was at the... |

Hello Rich. Glad to have that clarified. I just had my first exciting experience with capturing guns and successfully turning them on the other side. Kinda disappointing to learn that I don't get to keep them in the next battle, more from the "propaganda" or "morale" factor than a need for a couple ... |

No Bulls-eye but the neighbor tells me some kids came into her yard and broke his legs...that's why he isn't standing up so straight.

[quote]<i>Originally posted by zinkyusa</i> <br />To piggy-back on to Tony's remarks, it seems to me that it is to easy to spike the guns as well.

Thanks for the info Alan. I do try to patronize HPS as I know the blood, sweat and tears that go into the games having been a playtester from time to time as well as being in on some of the design discussions. But sometimes money comes into play (and there is no senior discount [:)]. It is hard to i... |

Thanks Sir. I need to get a grasp on that withdrawal business. I once asked about how that works; meaning when it is appropriate and when it might be unethical and "gip" one's opponent out of higher level win but I never got an answer and I haven't seen but maybe one old post on the issue.
