BFCElvis Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Elvis, great AAR - keep it going! With as long as the battle is, seems like you have quite a bit of time to proble out his defenses and then commit the rest of your forces. Some quick questions: 1. Seems like F and most of G Co. are committed. Is E Co. onmap yet? E company is not on the map. IThe briefing told me not to expect further reinforcements. 2. You havnt mentioned it, but did you ORBAT include I Co. (Weapons)? If so, whats your plans for them? Or are those the 81's your calling from offmap? I do not have a complete weapons company on may. 3. Did your Co's start out at mostly full strength or were they depleted a little? I started at close to 100% strength Thanks and keep up the good fight! Chad Edit: Sorry, you posted your request while I was posting my questions! Sorry Thanks, I'll do what I can.

Joe Shaw Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I can't believe that BFC picked YOU to do an AAR ... what were they trying to simulate, Elmer Fudd as the CO? Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnersman Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Beautiful...just beautiful. It even LOOKS like he is sitting in the shade. I wonder if that effects the ability to spot him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Is the guy on the far left getting ready to cover his ears? There is an animation sort of like that, but this looks like the idle animation where they re-adjust their helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPeng Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Para, don't worry about Shaw. He's about as useful as a toilet made out of yarn. Anyway, I'm the guy who gets to insult Elvis around here, the filthy swine, may his nether regions wither and become gangrenous, Luna willing.

Elmar Bijlsma Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I got to admit, some of the pictures are real yummy and go a long way towards assuaging some of my concern about missing features. While in general there's been a shortfall, death animations etc exceed what I was expecting. Kinda nice. Oh gawd, I'm a graphics whore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you may find this is some spillage from that most reviled thread, named after the chief miscreant, the Peng thread. While such things are to be condemned and deplored by all of good taste, it should, perhaps, not be taken too serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Boy, good shots Elvis. Mouth-watering! One question: Alot of the GI's have a rifle slung on their shoulders while carrying one in their hands...are these just animations-in-transition captured in freeze-frame, or rummaged from Buddy-Aid, or a glitch?

It's a current bug being tracked, don't worry about it. Just in case you aren't familiar with Cmx2, soldiers can pick up weapons from fallen comrades, but some of them are bit overzealous about it right now.

mjkerner Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Thanks Normal Dude...yup, I've had very, very many losses to insurgents in CMSF and everyone of its modules, and CM:A, and so am very familiar with Buddy Aid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Tube Guy went missing :confused: That schreck team might be up to no good.... Where is tube Guy? Krilly...Tube Guy may or may not have made it... Great shots Elvis! That woods pic was (like everyone stated) really nice. Gives me an idea of what fog shrouded forests are gonna look like. Nice cliff hanger on the shrek...mid flight...will the Sherman Die? Or shrug it off? Will the Shrek jockey eat hot lead like his buddy? Or disappear into the wood to attack another day?...and better yet will Krilly and Tube Guy be reunited?...until tomorrow...tune in...same Bat Time...same Bat Channel. Mord.

Vinnart Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 This has been a very interesting drama, and peek at the game. Thanks for the great shots, and reporting Elvis. You have a very entertaining style, Keep up the good work! Look forward to see how this is going end. Now to read Jon's view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Harrison Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 E company is not on the map. IThe briefing told me not to expect further reinforcements. Okay, so its up to 'just' F and G Co then. So I can see why your a little stressed about losses then. 1/3 of your rifle platoons is pretty chewed up. Regardless, keep pressing forward! And keep posting those great pics! Agree with the others, the one running through the smoke is great. Chad PS Oh, and the schreck one is good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sand digger Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 What do your think of your infantry losses? You seemed to have played well enough but your losses seem excessive considering what has been involved, I just hope that the game plays realistically in that regard and does not create blood fests. What happens with the crews of disabled tanks, are they available to join in the fight? Keep up the good reporting, useful and enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad PS Oh, and the schreck one is good too I have other infantry assets that I probably should have mentioned as being held in reserve. If I had lost 1/3 of my total infantry I would probably be considering a ceasefire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you Peng's right ... he IS a swine ... but he's OUR swine by the Gawds and it's only fitting that a Seniour Knight of the Peng Challenge Thread should be one of the participants in the first CMBN AAR ... he'll lose of course but he will ....

Battlefront.com Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Something that CM:SF/CM:A players are used to, which I think CMx1 only players are getting a whiff of here, is how different the infantry fighting feels with the 1:1 simulation. No doubt about it, 10 years ago it was pretty cool to see Moe, Larry, and Curely marching lock step across a field and then seeing one of them twitch backwards (while still running, of course) as the enemy artillery rounds fell on it. But 10 years later it is sure nice to see we can now have this: instead of what things used to be like: Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
