Warts 'n' all

Not everything went smoothly in Mission 2. Beware of gravel, it's almost as bad a mud.

That's a good question. I'd also be interested to know in which mission/s this "bug" occurred.

Maybe a more detailed explanation of this, perhaps with screenshots would help other forumites.

From memory I think that you are right about that road. But, it's a very hazy memory as I've only been north of the border once. And that was in 1977. My USatian girlfriend likes Scotland so perhaps a return won't be far off. Okeh, it's back to the mud of the Reichswald for me.

Murky morning muzzle flash.

What bazooka squad? My entire force consists of two MGs and two HQs and nothing else.

The photo that I posted yesterday was of a sniper from 6th Airborne Division, it was taken in mid-January 45.

I sometimes feel like 86. Which reminds me I still had enough hair to Spike the last time I saw him making a speech.

I don't know for certain. It might be something to do with C2 links.

I always refer to her by that moniker. Hopefully your son will call her that if she ever comes up in conversation again. As for Arther i think he is still with us. With regards mine clearance in game, I love Sherman Crabs. Although I do sometimes jump out of my 400 year old skin when things go "Boom!".

I don't see the point of searching for mines. The Milk Snatcher closed them all. Ah, sorry, wrong kind of mines.

I think that you are right. Which might explain this lucky chap's air of cosiness, and smugness.

And it goes without saying that I'm sending my boys into battle with this classic.

What follows will be my own befuddled musings on the Claymores Through Kleve campaign as I go along. Other forumites are welcome to share their own experiences. First up you'll find that it is as much a mudbath, as bloodbath. And, of course that is an accurate reflection of how it was back in 1945. So if you want sunny days, with bone dry ground and long sight lines this wont be for you. Just as a way of illustrating the murk ... If you listen carefully these Jocks are saying, "If that Sassenach Bastard wants us tae pose fer pictures, we want more drams, now!""

That tank's radio shouldn't have any influence, buttoned or unbuttoned. As long as the howitzer is in contact with the HQ that wants to use it. I've tested this battle, and all of the para and glider HQs have been able to call in howitzer missions during the Set-up Phase. Hopefully you will get it sorted, and enjoy the battle.

Your picture shows both the mortar and the howitzer being available to the HQ unit that you have highlighted. So I don't see a problem.

The White Red White symbol goes back to WW1. I'm not sure how it came about, it might have been based on a cavalry pennant. Even the USatians used it on the few tanks that they had, and there is a tank in a museum in the States showing the vertical stripes. In WW2 the BEF kicked off with an all White symbol. In the desert Red White Red was used in the early days, to be replaced with White Red White. i think the change happened around the time of Operation Crusader but, if someone knows more please tell us. The RAF roundel was used on army vehicles in the Med sometimes, probably to ward off fighter pilots with bad eyesight. For me adopting the "Allied" star as it is often called, right across 21st Army Group in the build up to D-day made perfect sense in terms of ease of identification.

Perhaps he is referring to the white and red stripes which were a throw back to WW1, and used in North Africa and Italy.

Pip Roberts stands up in his scout car, and says, "I think you'll find that it is an Allied star, old chap".

Of course, not being able to bring your gun to bear will also reduce ammo usage. The 400 year old says, in a desperate attempt to move this thread back on topic, whilst we wait for the OP to provide a save game.

Elizabeth serves Noddle Head a quart of Whitehall Blindman's Stout. Then mutters "You should have gone to Ye Olde Spectacle Shoppe". It is the set on the following day. Thanks.

I'm somewhat puzzled by the time of this mission. It starts at 8:05. Which is five minutes before the previous mission which you fight with the same troops. Is anyone else playing the campaign and noticing the same error?

Oh, I remember playing this many years ago. Just because it is "infantry heavy", that doesn't mean the German have no AFVs at all. And as Prunella Scales once said, "You can never have too many bazookas, Jane".

I've never seen anything that bad before. Perhaps you might put in a help desk ticket.

Hahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha. For those times when LOL just doesn't cut it.
