Andrew H. Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 She reads your posts, huh? Michael I think she's actually playing the game, which might explain the improvement we've seen in the second half of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Obi-Wan, Despite the brilliant AAR/DAR? allow me to remind you that neither winning this game nor killing Bil's tanks nor jousting at windmills was your stated goal. You were going to hunt down a certain doppelganger and Kill Bil... tick tock, c3k, tick tock! I have not forgotten! Like a bad spicy burrito burning in my gut, my need to kill his commander will not let me rest! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop a rumor like that into Bil's thread! I need to un-man him before I defeat him! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c3k Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Final Screenies. 20:00 to 19:00 Plans for 19->18 and beyond 1. Hunt the Dune Lucky Panther. 2. Envelop and take the Windmill. 3. Inundate the Woodsman's Lodge with 95mm goodness. 4. Use CS tank to backup the Town. (Jaggie 241 is in the way.) 5. Therefore, KILL Jaggie 241. Somehow. 6. Town, adjust defense as needed. Ken out... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenris Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 The boys have to kill one at least one of Bil's hulking beasts. Come on lads make Lieutenant Colonel Blacker (ahem, and Major Jefferis) proud! -F 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobo Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I would take a closer look at the windmill before making an offer. It looks to me if you leaned on it it would simply topple over. Frankly, I am thinking the woodsman's house with its land would be a much better investment 50 years later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Re the CS: If I were you (and thank god I am not) I would unbutton it. That might improve its spotting significantly and it looks as if you are far enough away from anything with small arms that the risk to the TC is an acceptable tradeoff. Remember: Be offensive minded. Attack! [snicker] Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyO Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Remember: Be offensive minded. Attack! [snicker] :chuckles: That's a bit like telling a ravenous lion, crouched in front of a carcass, to eat. But of course, that's why you snickered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of that but figured the first mg42 burst would leave my tank permanently incapacitated via tc being decapitated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfhand Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I also would not unbutton that tank, especially considering tanks usually go into a state of shock when their CO gets whacked... I am curious to see if you area fire the woodsman's hut or let the tank acquire its own targets (I would stay away from area fire in this situation). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I don't know, considering the number of HT gunners Ken's men have taken out, I think unbuttoning the tank is really the only sporting thing to do 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 CS Tank: there doesn't seem to be a cupola, just a single periscope, at least for the TC. The Brits used some funny openings for their crew vision systems. I thought survival with poorer spotting would be better than improved spotting and death. No area target for the tank. I want it to acquire targets of opportunity. After I see what's up, then I may assign area targets... A mea culpa: My afv knowledge is weakest with regards to British tanks. (At least, among the major belligerents.) In fact, this was my first time using any of these vehicles, in any guise, ever. Did it show? Not an excuse. I did push them BOLDLY forward. You get a feel for tank abilities and spotting behavior the more you use each specific model. Combined with my lack of familiarity with these tanks and tactics which stress exposure over safety (<-- UNDERSTATEMENT ALERT!), they did not do well. (Nor did I.) So, for now, I'm learning as I go. I NEVER experiment with units which I have in a game. (Not quite cricket, wouldn't you agree, Giap?) After the game, sure, then I'll explore characteristics which I found interesting. But I don't like to take a virtual time-out and fill my knowledge, Matrix-like, with information which I didn't have a minute earlier, game time. We plunge in! Forward! Always press, and the enemy line will buckle. When he flees, the slaughter will be vast! (In line with that philosophy I'm infiltrating a team at a time up the Dune Gully. Not impressive looking, but effective.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostRider3/3 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Excellent battle.. totaly reminds me of the old ASL days.. although this is much better. Looking forward to the conclusion, and will this map be available for download? (not sure if that was already mentioned). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Excellent battle.. totaly reminds me of the old ASL days.. although this is much better. Looking forward to the conclusion, and will this map be available for download? (not sure if that was already mentioned). The map being used is a section from one of the master maps. So you'll be able to at least approximate it by finding the area and cropping a map out for yourself. Early posts in at least one of the two threads specify which master map was used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The map being used is a section from one of the master maps. No, I don't think it is, but it should be included as both a QB map and a standalone scenario (Eerde Dunes battle). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 The map was created by Jaws. I don't know if it is included in the released version of MG. If not, contact Jaws and see if it's possible to get him to post it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Certainly looks like the Eerde Dunes scenario map which is a rip roaring battle (even against the AI). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Thanks. It indeed is a map of the Eerde Dunes area. I'm glad it's included in the release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
