  1. Awesome. Thanks for the information. I should be financially ready for a purchase at that point :]. Can't wait to experience Black Sea.
  2. Loving the Gustav Line expansion. It's campaigns feel like they were really made with love.
  3. I just try too hard to use infantry. Needs to just be patient and root out all enemies with arty. Patience is my real issue here.
  4. Literally! I thought this would be my favorite CM, but I absolutely suck at it! To the greatest extent! Please, tell me, when a hill is a 60 degree angle and the enemy is sitting right over your starting area, how you proceed! I tried to move to their flank, but I just created a new axis for the battle. I tried to create a base of fire, but my men were too exposed and gunned down. This is the second and third mission, btw. I won the first, but it made sense to me. The disadvantage is very strong here.
  5. That's exactly why it's unrealistic. If I'm the master sergeant(or whatever it is that oversees an entire squad) and I see arty coming down right where my squad is heading, I will IMMEDIATELY yell at them to fall back. There's no way I'm going to wait 58 seconds before I say something. WE-GO is a great representation of there being no human reactivity.
  6. I bought 3.0 and downloaded the 1.12 patch. When I try to patch, my PC is giving me a code 5, access denied, or something like that. Running as admin doesn't help. I have never encountered this problem.
  7. I need thattttt XD. I'm so unsure whether I want to spend $75 on italy and gustav, but I have a strong feeling that I will enjoy the setting immensely.
  8. http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=5&id=41&Itemid=378 I only see 1.10 and 1.20 leading up to 1.20.
  9. I patched the game to 1.10 and then 1.20 and now it's asking for an activation key. My issued key is not working for it.
  10. Hi! I meant no offense, or that it's bad. I enjoy LONG campaigns as well :]. It's just that I found about every third to every other mission to be extremely difficult. I can probably come back to this when I'm a higher skill level and do a bit better. Or maybe even just immerse myself in the inferiority of the british forces and enjoy that.
  11. The tanks seem pretty useless in tank battles as well. Had to assault a village with two Panzer VA in it. They wiped out my churchhills over and over again. I hit them from the side, I hit them from the rear. I got the bead on them first, fired first, but to no avail. Isn't a 75mm shot enough to take a panzer from the side?????? I swore it was :/. I'm so frustrated with this campaign that I think I just can't finish it. I do not have the willpower. Panzers will take my churchhills all day long, and they will take them in ONE SHOT, whether from the front or from the side.
  12. I will say this, though. The british force has to be the lowest quality, most inefficient force I've seen in all of combat mission. I can flank a german squad from behind, with a british squad, and the british squad will lose the fight. LOL. Low morale, low experience, CONSTANTLY trying to stop them from retreating.
  13. It's interesting how it happened that way for you. My AT guns were pointing right where the enemy tanks came from. My main problem was the arty barrage and mass assault on the right flank. My AT gun couldn't get a hold of the 75mm halftrack, so it wrecked my forces until my tanks arrived. I really enjoyed that level. I'm still on the british campaign. It's extremely long. I'm really looking forward to the CM german campaign.
  14. In hindsight, I was being overly dramatic. This campaign is fun. It's just so stressful at times that I literally alt tab out and either watch videos or play a civil war game or something.
  15. That non-combined arms seems incredibly difficult and not even fun. The british campaign is incredibly lacking on tanks. I had them for....The first two levels?? Is this historically accurate? Were they hurting for armor like this?
  16. Completed the mission with a total victory. C company wittled down to almost nothing. B company almost untouched.
  17. That's the one! I've been trying to completely avoid using B company. Trying to be precise and keep C company alive.
  18. Boy, I'll tell ya. I'm working on the british campaign, and the german youths are the best of the best. One or two of them will sit in a building with an MG and take my men out 1 by 1 while I waste rounds not killing them all day. Two squads and a LMG have been firing for two minutes straight and haven't cleared the second floor of this building. I'll run out of ammo before I even take over the first objective. What am I missing? If I have no heavy guns, I absolutely MUST assault?
  19. That's pretty interesting information, really. I figured that their eyes would have adjusted to the darkness after a few minutes. I guess that would be highly dependent on the situation and the light that the moon is reflecting.
  20. I treat the AI like I would treat any player. It's hard enough, in my opinion. It seems to detect my weak spots and takes advantage accordingly.
  21. I do not take 15 minutes per turn. That could be why I've drawn or lost most campaigns I've attempted. I don't necessarily let that get me down, though. I'm glad to go back through and play them later, and I often find myself saying "doh!" and learning from stupid mistakes.
  22. Glad to hear it's not just me. It's really a turn off. I had a bren carrier today that was about five feet away from a german halftrack. It was the dead of night, and they apparently couldn't see it. ... Apparently they couldn't see a HALFTRACK WITH DESERT CAMO. It's quite frustrating at times. Day battles don't seem to have nearly as many issues.
  23. This may be my favorite scenario. It's gritty. My AT guns let this one sneak past, and he's wreaking havoc. I have no Piats left. They were all killed QQ. Well. Tried to post a picture. Guess it didn't work. >
