after the weekend, I'll jump back into a game or two. whatever up, if none up, i'll throw a couple up SimHQ

Couldn't find any open, so threw 3up for grabs, pick and choose.

Rends and i are playing one now... and he's dominating... like 8 tanks to my 3, now 1... anyone else find or think some or most of these missions are lopsided? I also felt that way with my 2 games with Kludger and my 1 game with Airdrop... I still had a wave of extra tanks when Airdrop was out... or is it just me? making excuses for my suckage, lol.

Yes it seems that some (i havn't played a lot of different maps) missions are not even. The one we are playing seems to favor the axis side but not much. I saw a few tactical errors by the allieds. Better tell you machinegunners not to put the guns on the road ;-)
Btw: you are playing the christmas mission against my son. Just in case you are wondering wo he is.
Be aware i lost most missions against him!

well thats even more embarrassing, lol.... that machine gun is suppose to be in that house next to the road, lol.... Well I know I need to get a flank shot on German armor, but can't get around the line of sight, the maps not very wide.

Yeah you might be right Magnum, I think the only way to know for sure it to come back and play the same mission from the other team next time.

It seems to me that defending tends to be easier than attacking (probably realistic), so in the scenario where one person defends and the other attacks the attacker is going to lose many units. Also the unit types and TOE for each mission also seem to be just enough units, so that if you lose one of the key units then you end up on the back foot with that missing capability unless you find a way to knock out the same capability from the enemy.

I look forward to playing these missions from both sides and actually I already accepted from Airdrop the same map we are running right now but where the sides are switched, should be pretty interesting.

Did I mention how much I am loving this game

It is a BLAST. I'll look for your games, Magnum.

I am pretty sure I just screwed up that one with you as it was my first. But, I've got one right now with Kludger where he's about to clean my clock I think. I like the smaller scale battles so far. I've got to learn how to scout better and use "hold fire" more. I think Kludger is right that defending is easier. We'll see how kludger and I do switching sides on that map when we finish up the one now!

Do you guys know if you can pick what side you play in the single player campaign and, if so, how? I need practice!

I haven't played far in the single player campaign, just the first two Africa desert missions after the tutorial and it didn't seem like you could pick sides to me, maybe on other campaigns.

I'm actually learning more on multiplayer I think, but learning the hard way lol, you've got a pretty good push going into that town, my poor defenders are getting overrun

So far i know you can play allied sides only in Singleplayer campaign.
