You can win that mission without losing a man. Flatten everything with arty. Load up all Javelins (always do this) and go on top of the berm. Shoot everything. Flatten all the buildings with arty on "armour". I didn't even have to enter the building, they just surrendered.

Suggestion: what do you think of it?
Other Means replied to MrGrey's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
IMHO it's not the kind of thing I want to be managing. I don't see how it's relevant to my achieving my aims. Just let me move my tactical units how I want to move them and let everything else take care of itself. -
TBH, most of these bugs being reported I've never seen, so rather than a big list of things that would have to be reproduced to be fixed, if a save game showing each (before the bug happens - after is no good) or a list of steps to always reproduce them was given it would be a great help to BFC, I'm sure.

AAR Captain Kangaroo goes to war
Other Means replied to Plugger's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
You can have parallel installs of 1.04 and 1.05 just by copying all the files over to a new folder. You need to do this and finish the AAR, I was having too good a time -
AIUI flamingknives does this kind of thing for a living. However he has a sane persons threshold for nutjobs so it's up to him if he wants to listen to you. Not that I'm saying you're a nutjob, just pointing it out as an attribute of flamingknives. See, you've posted nothing about what the idea is, just that you've thought of it. And as people are paid to think of these type of things and they've had to go to school for a long time (where they also learned to spell and construct sentences), we're kinda doubtful your idea would work. So - you've given us nothing to do really but post ad hominems; that's what you're going to get. Either post something that allows us to judge the idea rather than you, send it to someone who's word we'd take, or give it up. Up to you mate.

You're going to go a long way in this man's Army Plugger. -
Intriguing Question but Controversial
Other Means replied to pastor_scott's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Most bang for the buck...gah. You can either start by saying what's the tactical situation, what are you facing, what's the weather blah blah...but stepping away from what will be a never ending argument -- an argument which is the main reason we all play wargames -- what given most conditions would I look to take with me? All answers are for in-game. </font> T34-76; for the off road speed and the HE.</font>MG34; for the ammo load and f/p.</font>Light flak; for the moral hit against ability to be spotted</font>Snipers; for the invisibility and ability to do real damage to high value units</font>Churchill XI (CMAK); to make your opponent bring out his cats or die</font>6dps; the little gun that can</font>Tiger; "For when you absolutely, positively"...etc</font>VT arty (CMAK); It's like "infantry-be-gone"</font>150mm inf gun; "Sergi, look - it's a shell!" "What where?" "There, coming straight for us!" "No way, it must be a bees nest on the move or something" "No! It's a..." BOOOOM.</font>Universal Carrier; "nah, I'm never going to need all these"</font>YMMV. -

Lethality knob or counter
Other Means replied to General_solomon's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
No. I mean, not for me, maybe some would enjoy it and I've no objection to it being introduced but I want as close to reality as possible. Currently I think there's things a little out, mainly the cover values and reaction to fire but for me, I want it accurate and as close to real life as I can get. -
