    New Scenario for test: Bäke's Winter Storm I

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Bäke's Winter Storm I

    14th December 1942

    No 2 in the CMBB Combat History series Bäke Battles: “Der Mensch” In The East”, this scenario follows on from the earlier CMBB scenario "Bäke's Prelude at Pokhlebin".

    After the victory at Pokhlebin, General Raus is supremely confident in the superiority of his tank forces. In the steady rain of a brief thaw, 6th Panzer sent most of its mobile forces in a Kampfgruppe commanded by Panzer Regiment 11's Colonel Hünersdorff across the Aksay on the road toward Verkne Kumsky early on 14 December.

    Encountering only light opposition at first, most of the Kampfgruppe had just arrived in Verkne Kumsky around 9am when the first Soviet combined tank and infantry attack struck the village from the north. As this attack was being repulsed, reports from both captured Soviets and the II Panzer battalion's light recon platoon of Pz IIs indicated that a large Soviet tank force was on the move southeast of Verkne Kumsky.

    In order to "fully use his mobility and his full firepower to seek out the enemy in the open terrain", Col. Hünersdorff immediately ordered Major Dr. Bäke to take his reinforced II Battalion out of the village to find and destroy the reported Soviet tank force. Bäke used terrain cover to move his force some 4km south of Verkne Kumsky just to the west of the road and then turned them to the east. One of the most critical and intense tank battles in the history of the Eastern front is about to begin, and Major Bäke will be in the thick of it...

    Map size: 2.2km x 4km

    Total points combined: 13000

    DESIGNERS' NOTES for "Bake's Winter Storm I"

    To make this battle playable within CMBB parameters we have slightly reduced the dimension of the battlefield and size of forces.

    NEW SCENARIO - Armour Attacks!

    in CMSF Scenario and Mod Design Forum

    Posted

    Hi Guys!

    Mark - The wee glitch was a rogue AI plan tile that had one AI group attempt to fit into one 8 x 8m square. I found and sorted it in version 7 (which was the version that went public). The latest version is uploaded over at CMMODS - it's now version 8 as:

    jhdeerslayer picked up that I had not made OBJ ELK visible to the US player - version 8 makes it visible now. It's position is marked on the tac map so if you still take that area on the map you will still get the points.

    Cheers fur noo

    But where is Obj Elk? Can't seem to find it on the actual map but have an idea from the Tactical one.

    Glad you are enjoying it, great to hear smile.gif

    What version are you playing? It should be OK in version 7 (I think there was a wee glitch in an earlier version which I quickly changed).

    Humvee bug

    I noticed a bug since the introduction of the new "soldier" icon for humvees: in the final casualties count the number of "other vehicles" destroyed is totally wrong. In the last scenario I lost a single humvee, and the debriefing reported 41 of them lost!!!

    It's no bug - you were playing Rock around the block 9sic) - yes? The other KOd vehicles are the destroyed taxis littering the town. caught me out at first as well smile.gif

    Please help.

    THankyou.

    It just takes ages to load. At least 15 minutes maybe more. Just fire it up then go and do something else for a while. Once it is loaded you should be able to save it (might take a couple of minutes) then it should load from the save game in a few minutes. I did put a warning about this ;)

    DMs AAR - just another day

    Well done on your victory smile.gif

    I liked the nicely put together AAR. It's great to read how other people perceive the scenarios you've spent ages putting together, so glad you enjoyed it. Looks like you got a differant AI plan from Webwings one ;)

    There are several 'hidden agendas' in this scenario as well, so force preservation is key to success.

    Nicely played smile.gif

    New Scenario: Der Panzer Counts Ostfront: Götterdämerung in Silesia H2H

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Götterdämerung in Silesia_H2H

    There is a slight set-up zone error in this scenario. This means it is possible for the German side to jump the Soviets first turn. It was not intentional. My apologies to anyone who has just seen their T34s go up in smoke in a H2H on the opening turn. I feel your pain! I have updated the game file (now version 9) both on my own website and over at TSDII .

    Thanks to Wolfgang Berger for bringing this to my attention.

    Cheers fur noo

    New Scenario Series: Bäke Battles: "Der Mensch" In The East

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Hi

    No the files will not automatically unzip - you have to choose wher to unzip em and into what folders.

    You have to put the operation .cmf file into your scenario folder. When you open CMBB you should find it under the operations section.

    It it's a battle (scenario) .cme file you'll find it under scenarios.

    The command maps do not load in game. Either open it to view using an appropriate viewer or print it out and use it as a handy reference.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers fur noo

    AAR - Just Another Day

    in CMSF Strategy and Tactics Forum

    Posted

    Wow! Nicely crafted AAR smile.gif

    I've managed to get everyone through the village but it's tough going. Guess if when you know stuff makes it easier, although latter playing this I'd forgotten which AI plan did what and caught myself out with my own AI plans!

    One thing I was conscious of was the time. I had thought I'd given enough to use real world tactics but enough that there is a sense of urgency, so hope I got the balance right. Guess people can always open this up and give emsels more time if need be.

    Thanks again for the AAR - nice to see and makes doing these scenarios all the more worthwhile.
