Riflemen are trained to use rifles, such as the Mosin Nagant. If you were to give them a submachine gun, they wouldn't be as good with it as they are with rifles. Units don't gain experience for kills. But, some are better at using a certain weapon then others.

To answer #4 there is one mission on the Russian side called Behind enemy lines. Your supposed to sneak around sabotaging stuff and if your spotted and the alarm sounds, you fail that section of the mission and everything you did up to the point the alarm goes off is canceled out and you go on the offensive w/ the entire enemy defense line reinforced and intact, well almost entirely full strength. Also, there is Borgs Last Fight and a small mission within the mission where u have to wreck some Rocket Launchers before they kill your Italian Destroyer which is supporting your defense. If u fail then you lose the on deck ship guns, which are quite helpful. Those are 2 missions i know of right off that have consequences for losing.

What ive seen from editing stats and what not the effectiveness of the weapon is based on the weapon's stats not the soldier carrying it. Same w/ a Tank, Ive put Tankers in tanks and Russian Civilian's, the gun and its accuracy is all the same. Same thing w/ a Machinegun, ive given them to 1 star guys and 3 star guys, the accuracy seems to be more based on the weapon's accuracy setting then # of stars the troop w/ it

The missions are NOT linear.

And your soldiers carry over in some missions, but not all.

Think of it like story arcs.

You've got some arcs that have the same characters and such, and others where there are completely new characters.

And considering that the campaigns are all over the place, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to have the same guys at each mission.

However, there is a modifcation called DCG (Dynamic Campaign Generator) that lets you start and keep your soldiers from the past missions and such, and even equipment you capture.

And they gain experience and such the more they are used and what not.

All in all, this game is great and I urge you to buy it.

Red Tide is a little pricy, but I really liked it, but to start I'd just go with the original MoW.

Just make sure you have a very good computer.

Thanks for everyones input, I just put my order in Steam this morning and its installing as we speak. Look forward to the dynamic campaign generator.
