The reverse psychology worked on me.
Nicely done.

I don't really know much about engineers other than not only can they blow holes in walls and bocage (as per CMBN and CMSF), but they are supposed to be able to build stuff (Bridges mostly?). A group of guys that have a valuable skill that (I would think) take a long while to teach, seems a bit of a waste to put into combat doesn't it?
After my game play experience with CMSF and watching the VAARs that Tyrspawn put up as well as the DAARs with Elvis made me think it's kind of wasteful.
How often were engineers used as a part of the "tip of the spear"?

On page 43 of the now posted CM:BN Game Manual, it says under 'BREACHING BOCAGE,' "At least 2 demolition charges are required to breach a hole large enough for a vehicle to pass through (bocage is tough stuff!). The best way to ensure a large enough breach is to order two consecutive Blast commands, the first Blast command across the far side of the bocage, and the second Blast command returning to the start point."
Here's to us all quickly mastering the art of fighting in the Normandy bocage country!
À bientôt!!
Hmmm...I would hope one would be able to do like in CMSF where the player could split his squad so that each team would have their own set of explosives for the two of them. That is, assuming there are enough for two separate teams.

I used to play paintball alot. Now I get tired just thinking about it.

So if we combine Achtung Panzer and Wiki it seems to be more :
A, A -> D1, D2, A (but not "D1, the Panther formally known as A", sort of D with a twist) , G, F, Panther II, F , E-50
Everyone clear on that ? ...............
Clear as mud.

One thing about CMSF that always frustrated me was not being able to "see" what small arms ammo was available vehicles which were unoccupied. I guess that was to simulate not being able to see the ammo because no one was in the vehicle to see it. Is this still the same?
Also what about knocked out vehicles that have ammo left over? I would always have a Bradley or LAV that was knocked out with tons of 5.56 left over but my guys were never allowed in to get it.

the bold heading for the sIG 33 says "sIG 22".

All good stuff. It's kind of what I figured. One sounds just as good as the other.
-
After reading the manual I finally caught on that the D model came before the A. After a cursory search I find nothing. Was this another trick to convince Hitler to approve an aspect of the Panther like the MP44?
Curious minds want to know.

I'm not sure what your expectations are of "Iron" mode but you, the player, will still be able to see all friendly units when none of your units are selected.

Wow! That's a lot of material!

Well...I WAS going to go to bed early.

Brilliant!
Reminds me of a radio host who was reading a transcript on air that had the word a@@hole in it many times. So he replaced it with the word "apples".

Soon, they become the target of a vengeful supernatural entity that will stop at nothing until they're destroyed.
Directed by Peter Briggs
Screenplay by Aaron Mason & James Cowan, and Peter Briggs
Produced by Gary Kurtz, Peter Briggs, and Priscilla Ross
It sounds like it would be a short movie, as we all know King Tigers are sssslllooow. Unless the monster cannot penetrate its armor....would that make it a...shall we say a "Sherman" monster...perhaps?
Ha! I kill me!

Hope yall like it.
I just noticed you said "yall". And as a resident Oklahoman, it warms my heart to "hear" you say that.

I interpret "Around the end of April" to mean "Around the beginning of May".

Dude, this is one of THE most comprehensive AARs I have ever seen. Well done! I think you labeled everything!
The QB selection screen has the best explanation I think I have seen yet.
Thanks Akira!
P.S. One question...do you label everything at home too?
I am joking!
Thanks again!

Now, I'm hungry.
Yea, it's a limitation of the 8x8 tiles and the need to make the foxholes FOW compliant.

Do you mean to say: "Am I going to like it?"

Outfrickinstanding!

Curiosity has the best of my.
Why is there a "roadblock" on a hedgerow? I am assuming it is a hedgerow. It sure does not look like a road.

This is getting bad. All that's left is a "I'm going to kill myself" thread.
