The most fun of modeling is buying what we can't build.

I do a lot of 1/35 armor modeling. Right now I'm building alot of Pz III's

I was playing the very cool West Wall scenario as the Germans and in to the second battle at night it gets to the last turn of the second battle and quits on me. It ended the whole operation right there, on the second of six battles. What the heck happened?

Or just route them back to the edge of the map, to a company HQ and keep them there to re-coop. Thats the realisitic thing, a crew didn't go scout out ahead, they knew no infantry tactics and would want to get the hell out of the line of fire. Let um have a good German beer while another tank is being fixed up behind the lines. [This message has been edited by ntg84 (edited 07-26-2000).]

But early war wasn't it the Grey-Green (my Polly-S Field grey?) More green than grey?

You really have to pay 15 becasue your government takes random packages?

This is the only thing men have left, don't share it

By 1944 most Pz III's were converted into command vehicles with no main gun. It was a wooden dummy gun bolted onto the hull. These were used as forward observation posts for Arty and used for forward commands of the Panzer divisions. But such a large number had been destroyed in 1943, that the remaining amount really was better suited for the command roll and not wasting a good tank like a Panther or Tiger on a command tank. These command tanks usually had a map desk in the turret and a larger radio. I think that there were more antennas on these (my New Vanguard book is down stairs with the pics, I'm to lazy to get it ) I'm sure that there were a few Ausf J-N in the West, just not enough to make it into the game.

Why do my German snipers carry only 10-15 rounds of ammo? I'm assuming they are using scoped K-98. So a normal ammo loadout for a soldier would normally be more than 60 rounds of ammo. Why does this sniper only carry 10?

I was thinking the pea pod pattern was pretty prevailent (am I spelling that right?) in the West for Wermacht. Thanks for the clairification.

By 1944 on the wester front didn't most German soldiers have a cammo smock uniform? Not just SS but Wermacht had them too in the West. Am I wrong for asuming this becasue I see tons of pictures of Wermacht in the West wearing cammo

I think a small 10-20 turn small quick battle could be done in a sitting

I'd have to say the Pz III series because it opened the door for the STUG's. The Pz III's effectivenes wasn't very, but it sort of showed how the Panzertrupen could do with less and make it work in their battles in the early days of the war. But in CMBO it would have to be the King Tiger. I've had one that took out 14 or 15 tanks and 40 infantry and not take a single casualty. Shells just kept boucning off of it.

I was thinking that, but it was 30 seconds into the turn, the tank saw them but didn't do anything, so they couldn't have been to scared

Ok I had a German Rifle 44 squad at 7 meters away from an M-10 TD and they popped up out of hiding and fired there one lone Panzerfaust at the tank. Boom! The tank was still there. Luckily I had a Pz IVJ coming and knock it out, but still how did the squad miss at 7m? I can spit 7m. They were not underfire either, just stood up and missed it

I just had a Mac for lunch from McDonalds

When well led, who were the good leaders

Comeon, how much does it take to fire a rifle or pistol in the air to scare someone away. What special skill is needed just for self-defense fire

I dont know what a mortor is Just kidding. Any way most mortar crews had rifles stowed away somewhere. The small arms production was very high, enough so that each cook and clerk could have one, so I'm sure that the mortar teams had atleast M1 Garands. Why its not in the game I don't know.

Print Screen button. Then paste to your favorite graphics/paint program. Save the file.

Good idea, thats somethingI never thought off. I'd like to see a bunker with 2 LMG's or 2 HMG

Where did you get the Russians? Otherwise it sounds pretty cool, finish it becasue I'd play it. An entire Battalion though?

Why can we not tell the tanks to fire only 3 rounds into a patch of woods or 2 smoke rounds instead of expelling all its smoke ammo in one turn. Why can't arty only fire two times in one turn?

LOL
