    Have to reinstall B2 B every time

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Hi there, Two of my gaming friends have had a problem develop out of left field with Barbarossa to Berlin. Every time they want to play the game has to be reinstalled. My version is still fine so far. One is in England the other here in Christchurch New Zealand, not sure what version of Windows they run but I am running Win XP Pro.

    Needless to say this has ruined my email games to England.

    Has anyone had a similar problem?

    Prokhorovka - Finale Scenario

    Back again, just looked at the return move & found that there are 3 Tigers down !!

    One from an SU122 at 300 meters into the side of a turret no less ! a 1 shot kill, amazing !

    The leading 2 Tigers were hit with a mass of close range fire from the previous move.

    A historical result one could say, maybe ?

    My Friend is a little miffed as it is turn 27 & the Scenario was for 25 turns...

    Thanks again

    Thanks Guys, Seems as though CMBB is a little out with the ammo used & Tigers are a little tougher than they were historically, I'll just have to accept that. Still a great game.

    As I stated I was playing the Prok - Finale Scenario that comes with the game, never played it before now but I wanted something that would give my friend an intro to Tank battles, boy did I get a shock !

    There are 8 Tigers & my friend used them like WWI Dreadnoughts, 4 Tigers in line ahead, just like a battleship. The turrets would turn this way & that covering all avenues of approach. Near the end of the game I managed to get 8+ T34s & SU122s all shooting at 1 Tiger at very close range, it took heaps of hits for 1 whole turn & survived! I am about to open up the next file & see what's left of the Russians.

    Thanks,

    Brian

    Have just about finished playing this as the Russian against a friend in England (E-Mail game). KOed everything except the Tigers for little loss then charged all the remaining T34s & SU122s en mass at the two groups of four Tigers & lost most for no destroyed Tigers. Even at under 100 meters the shells were bouncing off. The SU122 shells were falling short at 60 meters.( the Tigers were hull down to some)

    Question is Guys - how do you kill Tigers with T34/76s ? :confused:

    Thanks, Brian

    UPDATE.

    Next turn has taken place & all has been revealed.

    My Partisans carried on shooting up the hapless enemy squad as it moved away ( must have been 'broken') until it showed '0-11 Eliminated' I flicked into my squad info menu clicked on kills & found 5 'kills' showing.

    Thanks all, these proceedings are now closed.

    Cheers, Brian

    Most pleasing to get instant help from knowledgable CM gamers

    Thanks again, Brian

    Thanks for the replies Guys.

    I will give a little more detail on the ambush.

    One Partisan Veteran Squad sitting in a foxhole within a wood with an arc defined to approx 25 m out. One enemy inf fiqure appears from across the road running straight towards my boys, when the enemy triggers the ambush (at 50sec of move time) they open fire at 20 m & fire three times causing the enemy to hit the ground just on the edge of the wood. I press the 'done ' button & check on my boys 'kill' record to see what damage was inflicted & found 'no kills'.

    I have found in this game where I am using one Coy of regulars & a bat. of partisans that the partisans don't seem to hit anything as there are no partisans showing 'kills' yet there has been heaps of firing.

    Just a little perplexed. Iv'e just started playing CM recently.

    thanks, Brian
