Announcing my imminent destruction of ng cavscouts forces bump.
You obviously bought some of those super tanks talked about in the "ZOMG Teh Game Is Broken Because All Tanks Get First Round Hits And Killz!!!!" thread.
Trust a gamey Oddstrayliun to pick Shermans.... Why don't you just get air support carrying an A-Bomb?
I however, am consoling myself by grilling a nice 1.2 pound (no I won't convert the weight to Metric for you goobernationals) Porterhouse Steak on my new (used) grill!!

I think you are talking about the Le Dezert scenario, I know of no PzIV in Bloody Gulch. Nor do I recall Engineers in that scenario. I agree about the initial setup zone for Le Dezert by the way, Playing real time makes guiding the vehicles alot easier.
-
It is a way of getting more eyes on the target, especially binocular equipped eyes. And aren't the PSW's supposed to part of the recon unit anyway?
-
Have you gotten any further in the German campaign?
-
And here we are on page 2, what do I expect though, when Emrys is left in charge...
-
Maybe. Someone ring Joe and get him out of bed to keep us on page 1.
Noba.
Maybe he should do a podcast, that will keep him awake

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!
I had the most success with moving units with binoculars to the highlighted observation points. Have them crawl the last 10 yards or so. Have them sit there with short covered arcs (like 3 meters) pointing towards the suspected enemy positions. Pay attention to how long it takes you to get there and leave with that much time plus 2 minutes left. That should get you to the exit zones in time to exit. You should spot a unit or two which will give you, maybe, a tactical victory.
You should dismount your PSW crews as they have binos

I have had, as the Germans, a friendly 120 mm mortar spotting round come down on the back deck of one of my Panthers and knock it out.
I have also, again as the Germans, had a Stug survive a 57mm ATG hit from the front. The expended round ricocheted off, angled high into the sky, came back down into one of my infantry squads about 120 meters away, and killed a soldier.

I'd love to send you a setup* but Ker Dessel* has just begun its work on CMBN so it will have to wait.

*Ker Dessel - When It's Called a Setup for a Reason.
Ok, how about the stenographer then?
-
Joe Shaw, if you are not quite up to the task of posting a bump every half hour or so, well then, maybe it is time to hang it up and retire? Maybe spend some more time crashing your biplane or whatever it is you do in that WWI flight game.
You should send me a setup, and a stenographer.
-
And don't get engaged by the enemy, they get points for spotting you. This mission causes much wailing and gnashing of the teeth at first.
JonS is right, you can go on from here with an American victory, makes the next battle a bit more interesting.
-
I feel no pressing need for this myself, but I may be a minority.

Don't forget the Vegemite that made your toast taste like beer.
Oooh, yeah, I almost forgot.

All downloaded and installed five minutes before I walked out the door to come to work, so sad.
To think all that we Australians have done to see that the game is released today on "International Blame an Aussie Day" and it is released during business hours.
Someone send me a setup I'm depressed.
Oh and make sure there are plenty of jeeps for gamey rushing purposes.
I shall send you a setup in a few hours when I get home, in memory of the Tim Tams that I was sent by an Australian, I can't remember which as you reprobates all tend to blend together after a while, but the cookies were great, so, I shall honor you with a (hopefully) historic drubbing.

Getting a bit lonely while working at daddy's diary?
Yes Mace, reading all the sad and weepy parts, like where he went to Oddstraylia to volunteer in their criminally negligent primary education system.
-
No, because the worst Aussie beer beats ANY Yank beer. No contest.
Noba.
Have you ever tried Spotted Cow?
-
So, Joe Shaw, what happened to your pod casts? What happened to your stenographers? Where is Seanachai? Who are you? What do you want to do with your life?
This post is here because none of you poncing whingers can manage to keep the MBT off of page 2.
-
As you continue to be a slacker, so shall I continue to beat you repeatedly about the head with a pig bladder.
Isn't that rather redundant?
-
Thanks to BF
)So i like we have scenario editors on demo is a very nice gift
this one is very attractive and have nicest items than CMSF more terrains, bridges, water and so..
Great job BF
Remember, the editor is just to show you what it is like, you can't save the scenarios or maps you make.

MIA stats only represent troops that surrendered (totally) to the enemy.
As for routing, I have noticed troops are much more likely to cower uselessly or give themselves short movement orders to cover than actually totally rout off the board.

Is there any magic required to properly use trenches and foxholes in the bocage? :confused:
I'm playing "Busting the Bocage" as Germans and have loads of trenches and foxholes... only problem is that I can't properly use them. I can't turn trenches and foxholes and when I try to place them directly behind some hedges my LOS gets reduced to ~10-15m. :confused:
As it stands now I'd ditch all my trenches somewhere without placing any units in them.
Foxholes don't turn, they are multidirectional.
Trenches and barbed wire can be turned, but you have to kind of use a workaround. Place one section and then place another close to it. They will snap together and by placing the second close to the first in different positions you can kind of adjust the line of the trenches or wire.
That is the way I came up with to adjust. Good luck.

An eery quiet descends across the restricted boards, a soft wind in the branches heralds......

Oh, I see what you did there, Stukei-Poo! You took my post and removed some words and changed the entire meaning! Wow! You are a clever boy!
Who's a clever boy?
Who's a clever boy?
YOU are, aren't you?
Yes, you are! Yes you are!!!

Never really liked that movie. I really think Tarantino never quite equaled Reservoir Dogs.

Good news all, as your forces get smaller, so do the size of the PBEM turns!!!
