Actually, as always, I was asking, not to now about "real world" behavior, but more about in-game results... (but I sure am interested in your historical considerations) Polo

Really? So what is this range? (normal and reduced) In CMx1, I 've got used to use 30m target arcs.

Priority 3? You must be kidding... It is one of the worst "non crash" bug/feature in the history of CM. I ruins the FOW system of CMx2. (And I say that as a big fan of CMBN) Unfortunately I guess it must be hard to fix, since if it wasn't, it would have been fixed years ago. I really hope it is a tough one. Number one on my priority list, even before AT target arcs.

It is probably because the grenades disappear from the inventory BEFORE they are actually used during the 1 min turn.

I've got 5 grenades at a Stuart lately, but the infantry squad prudently ran away before they could eye on the result. That is something GREAT with CMBN, and something often overlooked: the possibility to withdraw without losing every man in the team, contrary to CMx1. Polo

Excellent! Is it at scale? Looking at an Omaha beach brochure, I seems to be a good map for a battalion assault with tank support. Very promising! Polo

Have any of you got significant experience of infantry grenades against tanks. In CMx1, I think we will agree on them being a bit overeffective. (won't we?) What do you think of them in CMBN? Polo

Hmm, had this happen multiple times... I think it may still be a bug: it sometimes happen with vehicules too.

Actually, it looks like a portable version of "Géoportail", doesn't it? http://www.geoportail.fr/visu2D.do?ter=metropole# An excellent link anyway. Select: "Cartes IGN"

You are welcome, nik. I prefered to make it a general case, but you indeed recognized your scenario. Pretty hard one, BTW, even with the Pz IVs. Polo

And you can avoid them firing and reloading by using "fast".

Thanks for noticing my post. Actually, in retrospect, I think it may be a bug. The effect on morale is far too exagerated. Polo

I am currently playing one of the well designed scenarios from the repository. Unfortunately, it has a big default! I wanted to share the issue in order to influence scenario design. I was playing with Germans. One of the group (3rd platoon) was a fusilier platoon with light armored vehicules attached (one 20mm AC and a 75mm HT). At a given turn, the platoon was taking a beating (40-50% casulties in the inf squads) and the 20mm got killed by a 105mm shell, while the platoon team only took one casualty, being only "nervous". The destruction of the AC in front of the men was impressing them badly. At the next turn, two Pz IV and two HT with infantry (part of it attached to the Bn, part of it to the 3rd Plt). The two Pz were attached to 3rd platoon (a bit of an oddity, BTW). I give them fast movement orders for the next turn. Then, the next turn: none of the tanks moved: one was "panicked", the other "shaken". From the inf teams, the ones attached to the Bn were OK, the rest at least "rattled". The tanks were not even arrived, already panicking! Apart from the fact their reaction was a bit violent (the situation was not so critical...), it is clearly a design flaw. So general rule, please: except for lone vehicules, maybe. DO NOT ATTACH REINFORCEMENTS TO HQs ALREADY ON MAP (and choose this HQ). General rule, at least take a look at the issue while design in your scenario. Polo

I had this one with Hussar, too... Interesting. Polo

As far as I know: - Wrecks are obstacles for small arms, not for tanks guns (this has been told by someone, somewhre in this forum) - I have also seen AP rounds going through armored vehicules, so I guess one round could kill two vehicules. Polo

You really should take care before writing such topic title as "ridiculously inaccurate" without knowing to play the game, even with a question mark... BTW, is there a way to know the spotting round was unobserved? (as it was the case in CMx1, we could always say if it is OK or not) I guess the spotter knows he hasn't seen the round falling, right? Polo

You've selected "download only", what kind of delivery would you like to have? Polo

WineCape, pardon me, but what do you mean by : "A complete one at that, up until you see the simulated close air support (CAS) results are mostly ... too close and non-supportive. " ? Polo

Anyway, the sounds are excellent... Ah aircraft piston engines!! Polo

It seems there is a bug about AT gun selection in QB, as far as I know. That will probably be patched soon. (explained in another topic) Polo

Could you elaborate a bit, Rokko, please? Polo

So, did you tried "Fast"? Polo

Rocky, you know that you can attach a target arc for EACH of your waypoints, right? Polo

Is there a way to tell at what distance you can spot, by the way? Polo

I tried it with dismounted Tigers: I can fire at them until they are knocked out or destroyed, as far as I know. Polo
