Me too, screenies would be great. Although the AAR was a bit difficult to follow it sounded like a very interesting one. Thank you!

New Scenario Release - Three Patrol Action
AlexUK replied to Ithikial_AU's topic in CM Normandy Maps and Mods
Great scenario - really enjoyed it both times I played through - very close firefights and lots of tactical possibilities. How many AI plans are there? -
No idea what's going on there?

Axis - CMBN Buying The Farm - Crowd-sourced DAR
AlexUK replied to MethodGamer's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
It seemed difficult from the german's perspective from my point of view too. Personally speaking I wouldn't have had so many positioned in open view. Having said that, you would have only needed one tank KO'd to have really made a difference. In any case, I have never done a PBEM, so who am I to say... It has been an education, thank you! -
Let's talk about the Road to Nijmegen
AlexUK replied to phil stanbridge's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Yup, second mission is a case in point - two spitfires, staggered arrival time, one spotter, short time limit. I think Paper Tiger's campaigns are simply incredible, and I would so like to play through this one (when real life gets a bit calmer...). Casualties do tend to be horrendous though, and I have been guilty of repeat playthroughs. -
It would be helpful if there was an intermediate stage (ducked down), as often shown in Fury.

Updated Kampfgruppe Engel campaign on Repository
AlexUK replied to ChrisND's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Road to Nijmegen second mission - the two spitfires don't become available at the same time, and I think there is only one spotter capable of calling them in - 13 minute delay and short time span - As you used to be able to call multiple from one spotter something needs fixing here I think? -
Getting into more complex builds. Is it worth it?
AlexUK replied to NPye's topic in CM Normandy Maps and Mods
Wow! These are really great. -
Fantastic work. It would be great for the program to be able to assign icons to the various arms, rather than having to do it manually. Any likelihood of that happening?

Gates of Warsaw is definitely worth uploading - I check from time to time to see if you've uploaded. I had great fun with it.

+1 for Fulda here too.

These are looking very mean!

Deville - is victory possible?
AlexUK replied to RedMenace's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Just had a go - first time playing as Germans but have played the US a few times. A few thoughts: I would generally leave your men to aim for themselves rather than target places/troops. Particularly at night time - you don't want them to get surprised. Try to place your men at angles to the likely assault - this should mean not too many enemy troops can target you when you open fire. Keep a reserve back behind the front line to be able to redeploy quickly. Have your FO use a cover arc - they are good spotters, and hopefully should not get spotted. Don't be afraid to close-assault tanks if necessary - they won't be able to spot well as it is getting dark. Good luck - hope you do better next time! -

Kampfgruppe Engel- New stealth tanks?
AlexUK replied to ZombieJesus's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Be prepared - I've only tried the german campaign, and one of the scenarios is a pig! -

Short-range tank duel: a good reason to use "target arc" (video)
AlexUK replied to Bahger's topic in Combat Mission Black Sea
Thanks for the tip. I am sure that there are lots of other command combinations that I am missing out on. I saw one on one of Chris's videos - Hide plus cover arc, which I think he said would mean they would disregard the hide command if enemy in that area?
