MBT dust trails - General SP - 09-09-2006 Having an issue with dust trails in MBT. Last game and current game with Old Rocky they are present anything above 3 hexes away from start point. If you move less than 3 hexes they do not appear. Map is typical European grasslands and forest. Even the concrete is producing the smoke. Ideas? Gary RE: MBT dust trails - Vesku - 09-09-2006 Maybe you've chosen a desert battle? RE: MBT dust trails - General SP - 09-09-2006 All the battles I have seen are European wars - Typical Soviets vs Germany etc. Is there a pref for this on set up? RE: MBT dust trails - wigam - 09-09-2006 The second game in our battles have dust in them aswell. maybe there is something in your set up. Its a pain allright.:hissy: Marcus RE: MBT dust trails - Artur - 09-09-2006 It sll depends on the visibility value. If it is cca 80 it will generate dust trails. If it is cca 60 it will not generate them any more. Artur. RE: MBT dust trails - Artur - 09-09-2006 It all depends on the visibility value. If it is cca 80 it will generate dust trails.

They present opportunities for deception and misdirection that are sooo enjoyable. Is that Privates Baily and Sad Sack, out joyriding in the Colonels jeep, or is it the 2nd Armored? It's great fun to pop a small armored task force up on your opponents flank where he 'knows' nothing is there because there is no dust. Rommel had trucks outfitted with aircraft engines and props so they could create huge dust clouds, which the English assumed were Panzers, so it's very realistic. RE: MBT dust trails - wigam - 09-10-2006 It is good if you are in the desert but not in wooded areas of France and Germany.

If you don't like them, fight in April or October ;-)) |
