mjkerner got a reaction from A Canadian Cat in Fire and Rubble
Lol, like I know what the hell is going on. I just noticed for the first time this morning that my man cave calendar was still on February, and my clock radio date showed March 23. True story!

👍
So, how successful are you on average? I don't do armor much, so haven't done it very often manually, either. I don't recall ever getting hull down purposefully. Only by sheer blind chance when not even really trying.

I agree, Erwin. That's how I do it too.

I found that one can get unwanted effects, hull-down to the wrong direction, or no visibility to the objective etc. With experience, it's quicker to do it manually via experimental waypoints.

Hey Aragorn, as I understand it, CW has a firm release date because of commitments to Steam and Slitherine.
My guess was March 32nd, and I’m sticking with it. Next weekend is your Huckleberry!

Fixable problem, though. (Technically, an FN FAL but hey, any port in a storm!)

Doesn't surprise me at all, MJ. I'm beginning to understand why you are so envious of my intimate and frequent affairs with other male forum members. You're lonely! 😃

Nice! End of that first post, can't quite figure out what that tanker is doing with his gun. Where's a 400 year dead Roundhead's picture-captioning contest when you need one?

PRELUDE: A Retrospective
This was our Battalion's first battle against the Hun, in Italy. It has been a rude awakening, and lessons were learned the hard way.
After a heavy bombardment, Jerry pulled back from his defensive line. Little did we know about their well-prepared fallback positions.
Their guns are well positioned, camouflaged and fortified. They make mincemeat out of infantry, and seriously crippled a couple of Shermans.
We tried to advance quickly, to avoid being bled dry in kill-zones. The Hun made great use of automatic weapons and hand-held anti-tank launchers.
We decided to take it slow, to conserve our forces. If this deadly maze is a sign of things to come -- we will need them for taking Celleno.
First, we take our time probing their positions. Second, we slowly surround them. Third, we pound them into submission.
Fourth, Jerry counter-attacks with tanks. This caught us off-guard -- we can expect armoured counter-attacks, going forward.

mjkerner got a reaction from Howler in Cool Engineer Discovery
I should have mentioned that just the night before Hypeman posted the question, in one of the Operation Clipper campaign scenarios, I had a Panther trapped along a stream bank, behind a group of buildings, smothered in smoke by other troops, with an engineer squad creeping up from behind. I simply ordered a normal Target command. Three demo charges thrown--- Panther died.

mjkerner got a reaction from zaybz in Elefants and Tigers
Not sure where I found it, but I assume I got it off of the Scenario Depot (FGM, where Bootie's CMMOD is located). Very well done campaign, it appears, but for this one I stripped out all the scenarios and am just playing a few of them.

Oh, and try the missions in the Operation Clipper campaign, Zaybz. You'll be begging for bocage rather than dealing with mud!
-
mjkerner got a reaction from zaybz in Elefants and Tigers
zaybz, you won't have as much bocage in the British sectors, and there is really none in any of the Market Garden area scenarios. With all the content in BN, I'd go for that first as an avid WWII British enthusiast. Italy next....,
