...when the patch is officially released, can we expect to see directions in the next bersion of the BCR manual on how to load troops into the maps and adjust ammo loads, etc?Originally posted by j0ker:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr /> Good news on the patch! Ammo now works in the editor! It will be a bit cumbersome, you have to manually edit every units ammo down to 0, but at least it works. It also works giving extra ammo, so now we can simulate (if we want) REALLY prepared defenses with extra ammo load.
Will this upgrade also mean we can specify unique names for the unit COs and keep them? THAT would be totally sweet.
{news from kiev} onto Battle 3: sheesh, what a predicament. still in setup mode to figger this one out. Herr j0ker out.{/news} </font>

Peterk sent me the source for BiltAid. I am looking at it - in the little spare time I have now - . I'd like to update rules and possibly extend it as well.Originally posted by benpark:Is any type of update planned for Biltaid (or it's ilk)? This type of tool is a necessity for folks like me whose lives are already so full of piles of paperwork that they want a little help...
Maybe something a little more open ended, where the parameters can be set for any year of the war, and any type of nationality/force? Historical maps could correlate to dates that could act as triggers for that particular locale.
Please, do not ask me when though as I have little idea myself :-}

LOLOriginally posted by Biltong:Cincerect appologies to all Sisilians out there - we here in Couth Afrisa cusk when it somec to cpelling.
Love the story...
'Invaders' trying to hold their guts in... Hmmm
I didn't say anything
BTW, *those* were truly invaders, looting, sackaging and plundering and humiliating daily the local people in their marches.
VERY peaceful marching frenchies.
The revolt came at a marriage celebration where a french patrol officer made irruption into the party and started *palpating* the bride with the excuse of performing a routine perquisition.

Biltong, if you were a French occupying SICILY during the "Vespri Siciliani" - the popular uprising against the bloody french invaders happened during Easter celebrations in march 1282 - you would be dead with your guts running out your opened belly.
The way Sicilian fighters were distinguishing the fleeding french soldiers disguised as locals was to ask them to pronounce "Ciceri" - chick peas - . As soon a the poor bastard was pronouncing the word as "Siseri" - the way a french would say "Ciceri" - he was busy holding his guts from falling on the ground.
So, your "Cicily" - although in a reversed way - would still have you clearly identified as "Auslander" and get you busy with keeping your guts from spreading all over the place.
I am sure you appreciate the story.

Now that I think of it: maybe the way I play (realistic play rules) is the reason why I hate fighting in towns. VERY tough.
:mad:
AND let me add one thing: watch the movie from view 1, view 2 max, AND follow the action with one of your units, one best representing the action.
THEN, you'll start feeling for your units and be a better CO.
Playing with big units and Bird-view not only is unrealistic but it makes for considering those little things on the battle field as little ants, nor troops. You could not even hear the screams of pain! (and loose lots of realistic sights and sounds like the bullets provoking burst of dust on the ground or buzzing off metal and the grunts of your men).

You are doomed now: once you start it you could never stop it. Remember, it goes on till 1945.Originally posted by Laffertytig:disregard that last post, ive found those units and my force size is now 653. am now proceding with more coffee. i so much want this to work
Lots of battles ahead of you.

Hooo Boy!!! Joker - thanx for reminding me. I forgot about Franko's rules - I've actually played a couple of games with these rules - even a PBEM... Tough!!! Main problem I found was forgrtting to stay at level 1 and not knowing where the hell you are if there's a lot of woods aroundOriginally posted by Biltong:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by j0ker:
...in the spirit of Biltong's 'Pain and Suffering' that is his Campaign, i quote below some operational rules devised by Franko (FTC) that might be interesting for all you newly-promoted Veteran COs out there....
Definitely a very realistic experience... Next time you feel you've got a too easy task ahead of you - try it - a whole new trip

Looks like you truly don't get it!Originally posted by Ryo:Usare un topic su 20000 per noi italiani significa trasformare il forum in una chat italica e con ciò escludere tutti gli altri?????
Ma dico,siamo impazziti?????
Se non volete scrivere,siete padronissimi,ma non esageriamo.
E poi,visto che giustamente la lingua italiana è la più famosa e più usata nel mondo....
Ma per carità.
Ok per la mail,ma non capisco quale sia il problema.
Volete scrivere e parlare in inglese????
Avete 20000 topic,volete parlare con italiani e usare la nostra lingua????
Usate il topic.
Insomma...
Fate voi....
Ryo
The problem is that it is not *just* between Italian speakers and the rest of the world english speakers.
Similar attempts have been done already in the past for other languages. Fact is there are literally tens of different languages in these forums.
Shall we start having in the Forums danish threads, swedish, german, finnish, spanish, portuguese, greeks, arabic dialects, french, schweitz deutch, austrians, brasilians, mexicains, ... and these are only the idioms I have met in few years of CMBO/BB.
Surely others are represented as well.
If allowed for one language it would and should for all of them and THEN we would all get CRAZY wandering through the forum to look for a thread we could understand.
capisch?

Oustanding!!!!Originally posted by massimorocca:Hmm, il problema delle munizioni....
Non so se sono autorizzato a dirlo ma tra le tante cose della futura patch ho letto questo, spero di essere perdonato
* Troops imported into a QB have ammo reloaded but only to the percentage

Thanks Massino

Wow, I like the buildings with the balconies: very Italian.

Si d'accordo. L'uso dell'Italiano può essere simpatico ma esclude tutti gli altri, quindi...Originally posted by massimorocca:No ragazzi, più niente da fare per gli OOB, la patch conterrà solo correzioni di bug e poco altro. Il lavoro di sviluppo su CMBB è definitivamente finito. Tocca aspettare. Se e quando ci sarà l'episodio dedicato al Mediterraneo.
In ogni caso non credo che sia una buonissima idea trasformare il forum in una chat italica. Abbiamo le mail usiamole.
Ciao.
Massim, current version of CMBB has an unfortunate bug with the Editor: units imported into a QB regain the FULL ammo value unrespective of what has been set in the editor itself. We are unsing the Editor a lot in the Biltong Campaign rules and this bug is truly a bummer. Do you know whether it is going to be fixed with the 1.03 patch?
Ciao

As you might have noticed: the maps link with each other - you are actualy fighting on one L.o.n.g map - so you can see what's waiting on the horison
Good luck!! </font>

Thanx & Good Idea - great minds - just wait for the last battleOriginally posted by Biltong:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Seahawk-vfa201:

One suggestion: as these battle packs might involve additional strain to BCR players bonuses for those who decide to fight them - and successfully I must add - would be welcomed as recognition from Berlin for the great contribution to MotherLand war effort.

Hi SOriginally posted by Biltong:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Seahawk-vfa201:
...Tell you what: last two Kiev battle I barely managed to avoid a defeat and I took too many casualties. Back to cautious approaches from now on!
How do you find the Kiev battles? Any suggestions/problems with the maps/extra force compositions etc? Carefull not to give the game away - mail me if necessary
Bottom line - is it worth the effort to create special battle packs? </font>

All the above is good news. The greatest threat to BCR's survival, is boredom. For a player to go right through to 45, he must never become bored. He must feel tension & fear all the way. Be kept on his toesOriginally posted by Biltong:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Seahawk-vfa201:

Fought "Workers' Paradise", night Kiev battle.
What a carnage: knife-battle in a telephone booth style of fighting.
Lost 34 men, 177 casualties, 6 vehicles, my Pz II, my Pz III and managed to get a Tactical Victory thanks to battle ending. 5 more minutes and I was doomed.
Units's plan was to early engage the enemy, causing massive injuries and then retire to major target positions.
Waited too long, could not retire. Fought in place till very end. Lots of new men in my units now, lots of green squads again. :mad:
It is going to be a hell of AAR. Still have to scratch dried blood off my uniform and stop shivering. My hands still shake.
Fought against +75% Soviets. caused 800+ casualties and ~300 deads. Ivan men OK 500+!!!!

BCR promoted me to ELITE. Dunno whether I should be glad or pissed.
I will be facing tougher and tougher battles ahead as now the enemy EASILY has +50% (+6 modifier) and I faced already a +75% in Kiev Suburbs battle.
I might face soon the bitter taste of a loss. But the KampfGruppe is stronger every battle now. 4 Units are veterans already.
No doubt I olny had a Tactical victory.
No more AARs in here as EasyCo is kindly featuring them in his site with maps as well.
