A colleague of mine brought CM:BO to my attention late 2001 if I would have to guess. Played all instalments since although I do not have the time anymore for anything near regular play. Congrats on the milestone and thanks for letting me waist countless hours on it!

Ha, well there I go making an idiot out of myself....CMFB has been on my HDD since release. And I was googling around to find it. Will have a look, thanks!

Call me stupid, but where would I be able to get my hands on this scenario? Thanks!

Same here with work ip. I tunnel home for access....

Unfortunately no game save. It happened in the first battle of the campaign if that is of any use....

I would think after I installed patch 1.02. I was tempted to fire at the team in the end to get them to move ;-)

I have seen this in a campaign (can't recall the name, but I think it was one of the bundled ones where Patton's forces had to fight towards Bastogne). I dismounted a US 2 men MG team from an HT and they spent the rest of the battle sitting it out in the snow. I'll check if I have a save somewhere tonight, but probably cleaned those I had.

*** SPOILERS *** Playing as the Germans I managed to squeeze out a minor victory. Splitting forces worked ok although bogging, mines, US air attacks and excellent keyhole positions took out the better part of my forces. Progress was agonizingly slow, completely bogging down on the small open clearing south west of the chruch where it turned into a Panther workshops of broken down equipment, and mangled crews. Had to slug through the farm complex and forrests on the north side of town to get anything going. Very well done to the scenario designer!

Thanks for the write up. Good to see how dawn circumstances affected the battle. Will try to remember that one.....

Nuts! Driving me crazy.

I think I remember reading one of Harry Yeide's books years ago where it said that in the Overlord time frame tank -> infantry communication was basically non-existant. During the last months of 1944 however (platoon commander-)tanks were being equipped with infantry radio sets to overcome that. So around the time of the Ardennes it wouldn't be out of the ordinary I suppose that there was proper tank -> infantry radio communication.

Thanks, going to watch that!

C3K will claim that as his doing.... Thanks for another entertaining AAR!

Noting to add !

Much appreciated, I enjoyed your efforts over the past month or so!
