Which part? The faust shot or getting shot back at? As far as the faust shot, the squad was on the West side of the room. The window was on the East side with the tank in question in the street adjacent. The shot went out through the window within the 1st 20 seconds of the turn as near as I remember. I don't recall exactly on which turn I got shot back at. Ask Nelson1812. He's the one I shot at.

Realistic Infantry formations - would they add realism
Jim1954 replied to GSX's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
You can always use the split squad command and move them a bit apart from each other. Thats what I usually do. -

multiplayer suggestions cmbn / italy
Jim1954 replied to nelly's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
When you add h2hh along with dropbox, it becomes so simple you can't imagine ever going back to anything else. Sometimes it is a bit tricky to get it going but once you have it right, one click will tell you if is your turn or not, which file is in play, how long it has been sitting there and there is even a chat dialog box you can use to send comments along with your turns. No copying or pasting or having to remember what the file name and number was and where it went. -
I was on the latter end of the beta and I just never got the right feel from it. Guess I couldn't stop comparing it to CM, which it's not.

I'm not running Vista so I can't verify but this post over at the Blitz indicates that even nvidia cards loose fog capability under Vista. http://www.theblitz.org/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=39548

You can always hide the unit with an appropriately placed covered arc.

Don't try selecting the font, try selecting the COLOR instead. -
Explain this flag control issue
Jim1954 replied to David Chapuis's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
The routine goes something like this: Imagine a circle around the VL, 80m in diameter if VL is in LOS of unit, 50m if it's not in LOS. Basically, the side with more "control" that is inside of the above circles, has more influence. Strength of control is roughly equal to the unit's purchase cost. There are some fudge factors in there I believe, too. Damage must be somehow taken into consideration. The further inside the circle a unit is(closer to the flag), the more "control" it exerts. All of this is paraphrased from pp. 43 in the CMBB manual. -
There are some here. Not all inclusive as far as all nationalities, but German, Russian, and Italian are there. http://webandofbrothers.de/specialrules.htm

I will second GAJ on this. Always a number of tournaments and campaign games going on as well.

I saw something like this happen before. It was when editing map setup zones and instead of graying them all, out I accidentally left 1 as a valid setup tile. It sure was crowded in there. Looked a lot like your screenshots.

I am in the process of starting 5TA vs 24PD. Should get underway this weekend sometime.

The 101st was composed of the 501st, 502nd, 506th PIR's (parachute infantry regiment) and the 327th Glider. The 82nd was composed of the 504th, 505th, 507th, 508th PIR's and 325th Glider. The 508th was formed up from the 502nd PIR and the 26th ID and was attached to the 82nd for Overlord since the 504th was depleted by action in Italy. http://www.ww2-airborne.us/division/order_battle.html http://www.ww2-airborne.us/18corps/101abn/101_overview.html Hope this helps clear it up a bit.

I have found that these little byte battles are good to start with. Primarily infantry based, they are low unit counts and generally short turn length as well. http://www.kretsen.nu/bytebattler/

Anyone having problems getting into AFV NEWS site?
Jim1954 replied to John Kettler's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
This one? http://www.afvnews.ca/ If so, it worked for me. -
Spoilers ahead.... I just took the standard setup, hid everything with really short covered arcs until I saw the enemy, moved a few mines in front of the strong points and got real lucky that J2D didn't take out the PB's on the hill on my right flank. Stayed hidden until several turns of Navy fire had come down then popped out of my holes and opened up. That and using those Neblewerfers as soon as they came on the map aimed in front of Lucky 13. Mostly it was the luck with the pill boxes. The 88 and the 75 took a huge toll on the Allied and even the surviving 150mm IG got the M16, IIRC.
