Schugger

Still enjoying the good ol' CMBO occasionally. It has been a long time since I have played any competition games, though. The game will remain on my HD in eternam (or until the latter explodes)just for the fond memories I have gaming it. BTW, hi Sergio.

Is it just Marximus and me who have noticed that all HMG units are very effective if you team them up with an ordinary Rifle squad? It seems like you get a small combined arms bonus when a rifle and a MG unit "gang up" on a single enemy.

From my experiance HQ boni do not have any effect on the time delay for spotters to call in artillery.

Interesting so far. Especially one sentence caught my attention as untold wisdom is hidden in so few words: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Alot can be determined on how one communicates with others and how one acts. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Someone is toying with handgrenades here.

Never underestimate the cunning AI

Henry Fonda sits in the spotting plane.

"Hatschi!"

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by BloodyBucket: So, Schugger, one vote against the SS. Just a political thing, or is there something within the game that you don't like about them? Why the British army?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well, I think it is both. It is that my cyber SS Heinis smell that I don't hold them in high regard and, consequently, they do their best to dissapoint me in any battle. For the Brits, I just like the their army organisation in CM ( TO&E?). Even in a small QB with 1500pts you can afford two full companies, get a lot of Piats and 2" mortars.

You are definately not the only one There have been many discussions about FT units and the best way to use them. In short: They are much easier to use in a defensive role and tend to die quickly if used in an attack as anyone with LOS to an enemy FT unit switches target to it.

Hmmm, are the Klingon's in CM ? :confused: Sorry,wrong Forum Beam me up Scotty!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> No intelligent life in this thread? I don't like playing SS, but they hardly qualify as nationality. I enjoy playing the British Army ( lots of infantry ) and Heer ( with lots of Rifle squads ).

Really cool stuff, Scipio. Your sound mods are a must have.

A marvelous piece of work, excellent.

Aha. Now the force is with me...

Is this one of those "leave your brain at home" threads? It hurts but I did not get the point, honestly.

Oh well, I can live without collisions. I really don't like to enter a firefight after my own tanks steamrolled my groundpounders and my HTs explode in a volcanic eruption when they tried and failed to move in coloumn on a paved road.

Reichmann, I don't know if gamey is the correct term for using a "nationality mix" and if both opponents have not agreed to restrict their force choice you could hardly criticise him for doing so.

You are not the only one. Someone posted that he has lost 100:0 in a PBEM a long time ago in one of the demo scenarios ( don't know if it was the gold or beta demo ). Does not happen very often, I guess. BTW, my condolences

Oliver Stone has picked up the movie rights...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Holy crap, Babra this is truly hilarious.

I merely was raising an issue of improvement, there's nothing wrong with the way I use them, and also, there are occasions of snipers holding up more than a battalion, and sure it's no fun, but it's real. . .<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> A single sniper held up more than a battalion? That is an interesting story, where have you found it?

dmart, I have that mod you are looking for but - chaos rules - I couldn't find the approbiate zip folder. If you have an idea which bmp.files are necessary I'll send them to you via e.mail.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by nedlam: Sorry, wrong Forum... Nedlam<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> No why? Defending with green troops vs crack ones and come out victorious is not bad. I lose on occasions with Wittmanns Elite Tiger against consript and green tanks led by the AI. However, it has been mentioned many times that the AI is better at defending than attacking. Try the same thing when you have green attackers vs crack defenders.

Your description reminds me somehow of the "Sturmtruppen" comic series

This gun stood alone in the tide of attacking US forces at Remagen and knocked out several HTs, two Stuarts, one Priest and a Pershing (!). I was as surprised as my opponent was when his heavy tank exploded.
