Warts 'n' all

"to victory" means up to the end of the War

"Whitelaw whitewashes whiter" as we used to say.

Good advice, and great cartoons.

Yeah when I planned my ambush I had in mind how my panthers and FJs had arrived, either on or very close to the road. To suddenly find my troops surrounded was no fun. I'll know better if I give it another go.

Hahahahaha. Nice one, Declan.

I wonder if Mick Jones plays CM.

I don't mind him creating more ambushes for the US. But, if my troops are initially restricted to arriving by road then so should the AI be as far as I'm concerned.

One thing that annoyed me. The player's reinforcements arrive by and large in column. And when looking for a likely area for an enemy counter-attack I set my troops up in good ambush positions along the road. Only for the counterattack force to arrive all in one go spread out over a fairly large area pretty much surrounding my troops, with predictable results. I was not a happy bunny, and hit Cease Fire.

I wouldn't buy it, although I suspect that I would be in a minority.

Earl didn't I once see you in a tea cup?

The Forger's massive scenario/mini campaign is German. As things stand there are three CMFB campaigns for the USatians. In addition to the Aachen one that you mentioned there is also "Courage Conquers" which deals with the counter attack towards Bastogne. And "Fields of Tears" which can be seen as a follow on from CMBN's "In the Fields where the Poppies grow".

Nice link. I'd also point new comers to the top post in the list on the main page entitled "BATTLE DRILL".

So far, I'm finding them very useful in their indirect role. Buildings being brought down, or hit hard enough for there to be dead Amis inside when my blokes occupy them.

So far I am enjoying v.2, even the unpleasant surprises thrown up by a different AI plan.

These uniforms look great.

Can't go through February 14th without sending someone a Valentine's.

Yes, it is. My joking directions to the Staten Island Ferry Terminal were a reference to the OP being from The Netherlands.

@umlaut Interesting video, I've not seen anything quite like that before. Thanks for sharing.

Nah, the "conker" is the fruit, not the leaf.

@umlaut In my view you are better off without Reshade. Your stuff looks great as it is. From what I have seen of Reshade it makes CM look ugly, in fact almost unwatchable.

Shame that we don't have the original commentary from British Pathe. As for the German tanks they were all knocked out on the day by tanks and an AT gun from 7th Armoured. Just to make sure that they couldn't be recovered if the Limeys had to withdraw they were set alight with petrol soaked rags. Over the next few days there were hit again by both fighter bombers whose pilots didn't know that they had been knocked out, as well as in the heavy bomber raid on the town.

Thanks for your efforts. Looking forward to giving this version a go.

Happy to oblige. I hope things go OK for you and yours soon.

Oh dear. Our resident neo-nazi is having one of those days. Let's please get back to Red Thunder.

Walk south down Whitehall Street, and keep going when you reach the end.
