Nope. With all due respect, if you are driving softskin vehicles full of men into places where they can be shot at, you need to worry more about your tactics than you do about the game engine. PS - @chuckdyke Score one for the Sherman!

How does 'Bugger Off!' sound as a counter-proposal?

Just occured to me.....Can you rescale something like a turret before using it? A smaller version of the T-34/76 Turret might work for later production T-26s:

Is the Ukraine paying for these or did Boris just donate them out of the kindness of his heart?

It occured to me that Panic was the wrong word as it is one of the game's morale state.....'Imminent Fear Of Anhilation' would probably have been a better choice.

I'd guess that's the one, it has the correct Horstmann Suspension: I really couldn't suggest anything better than @Suchy already has. Absolutely fascinated to see what you come up with.....I feel another install coming on. BTW - I'm still playing with your Italian Partisans. @Freyberg has kindly given me permission to take advantage of his map portfolio.

Panic! The truck driver is reacting to his perception of the battlefield not yours! He doesn't know what you do. If you want to know what he knows, play in Iron Mode and click on him during the replay phase.....You'll discover that his view of the battlefield is rather more blinkered than the one you normally see. I suspect that you'll find that some time immediately prior to the truck starting to act silly from your perspective, a very prominent red contact icon became the primary & pressing concern from his perspective.

Dude, it's a quality blog and as I recall, threads are free! The CM community needs more content & commentary from folk who actually understand the game.

I'd love to know how you did that.....Probably wouldn't understand a word of it if you told me, but all the same!

You appreciate that works both ways, Russia has 'export opportunities' too?

IMHO including 'wishful thinking' in one's planning is never terribly wise.

I'd certainly be interested to see them.....I think I have all the bits I need for the Mi.2 now.

n/t

Will they turn the gas back on?

OMFG!

Gee.....Sounds like they are probably not expecting their tanks to face this fearsome weapon.

Ah.....So XXX Corps might actually turn up after all? Well that makes things much more interesting.....I shall make myself a cuppa and pull up a pew.

Would that be taken from a certain large map with a prevalence of long narrow fields by any chance?

Scratch that, misread your post.

Unlikely.....Battlepacks are usually just scenarios, campaigns and maps. Bit surprised to discover CM:BN doesn't have StuG.IV.....It was the primary AFV of 17 SS PzGr. in that period: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17th_SS_Panzergrenadier_Division_Götz_von_Berlichingen

IIRC if you do that with a platoon of guns and then set all but one of them to Dismounted, you should wind up with an ammo dump that you can locate next to the remaining gun so that it can stay in the fight a bit longer.

Do yourself a MASSIVE favour, set it to Iron, now.....Then leave it there (at least until you have a real need to change it to Scenario Author Test). Doing this will have no significant impact on the actual perceived difficulty (other than artillery and buddy-aid taking a little longer), but it will help you to learn how CM works a lot faster.....I strongly recommend you read this thread (several times) and experiment with the concepts it explains: PS - Apologies for confusing you earlier.....I assumed you were more familiar with the games and were enquiring about the mechanics of pre-battle contacts/intel settings.

Eeeep! Is that intentional or an artefact of patching? The plot thickens! That seems a bit odd to me! Now I must emphasise that I have no particular knowledge of Para TOE, but it doesn't jibe well with various accounts of paras running around Arnhem with 2" mortars, blowing stuff up!

Are they not integral to some of your squads?
