[You Germans have it; now tell us about it.]

Are you able to move infantry along a trench, say from one end of it to the other and still have it provide cover for them?

Is it full cover?(deep trench) where by you could move along it and not be seen or shot at or are they more like foxholes?

[CMBB and new CM: Bundle Pack now available for Pre-Order]

Oh yes it will be mine, oh yes.

[More Rugged Defense CM Tournament AARs?]

I'm also interested in some more of their AARs. They make for a great learning tool IMO.

I hope they do an aar on the round 5 map as well, that map looks to be a real challenge and it would be interesting to see how the players approached attacking and defending on it.

[Some thoughts on the new camera movement system…]

Well, I like the the new system.Why? because I'm a lazy bastard and lazy bastards don't like to move their index finger on their left hand a couple of inches forward to press the shift key. Now all I need to do is move the mouse with my right hand, movements at the wrist and below only, if possible. Thankyou BTS, you make lazy bastards proud

[Citadel : Bogging in steppe ?]

I've had a couple of pzIIIs bog in that scenario but they managed to avoid becoming immobilised and got themselves moving again.

Here's another cool thing.

I was playing Citadel as Germans and one of my MkIIIs took a hit that jammed the turret in the 11 o'clock position for the rest of the game! It was basically useless except to guard victory locations...very cool!

Really? wow!, that is damn cool.

Not a new thing to cmbb I guess, but I had an A/T rifle team surrender to my pzIII, then unsurrender then resurrender. They did this 3 times in one turn. Is fear of being shot as a prisoner coded in the game?

[45mm gun wimpy? I think not! (remote spoiler, screen shot)]

Great pics. I've got a nice screenshot of a pak 37mm brewing up a t34 with a front turret penetration after firing about 12 rounds at it . I'm quite impressed with these guns.

[RoW II Boots and Tracks Brawl part tres....]

Hi guys,

Yes, real life has got in the way and I have to say goodbye . Apologies to Treeburst and my opponents, they were really fun games while they lasted.

Good luck all and have fun.

Regards,

Jared

Coming soon.This week has turned out to be busier than expected,I've got to put in a new vid card too.

[Fionn's latest AAR at MODs & MODers:]

Can someone do me a favour and email me the latest file?

For some reason I can't get a complete download from that site.

Thanks.

[***Rumblings Of War II: The Boots & Tracks Brawl***]

Is it too late for me join as a backup?

[Is Fion crazy, nuts or just damn good?]

Cheers Fionn,much appreciated.

[Fionn's latest AAR at MODs & MODers:]

Same here Gillfish.I would like to hear about his overall plan,purchase reasons..etc.

[Is Fion crazy, nuts or just damn good?]

Fionn,

Do you have any recommendations for websites or books regarding Soviet doctrine?

A book called Deep Battle is the only one I've read that probably relates to it.

[Hey Fionn]

Hehe,I don't think there's been this much interest in a pbem challenge since Kiwijoe's infamous post "I've won so many games,I'm getting bored".

I'm with Redwolf,We want the show!

Yeah, im sure Blackhorse was talking about me, just look at my name, CombatGeneral, that infers that I am a general of combat, or a good combat general. Either way, combat is my game. And my eyes appear to be getting accustomed to these new colors. By the way, Fionn bring it on!!!! (Thats my war cry before immenant death and defeat)

I think he's talking about Titan from the Rugged Defence ladder.

Anyone else having problems downloading the file?

Everytime I try it never completes,it just gets to 99% done then hangs .

[Rugged Defense CM Tournament AARs - Buckeye vs Barleyman]

That's just my opinion of course but I'm disappointed not to see more discussion. Certainly makes me think there's no point publicly releasing all of the AARs I've written. Better to just share them with a few friends privately than put in the extra work necessary to make them publicly available when no-one seems bothered.

Fionn,I for one would be interested in more AARs.I've always enjoyed and learnt alot by reading yours,aswell as posts on tactics by people like Pillar,Claymore,Los.I'm sure there are a lot of lurkers who would be interested too,so don't be discouraged .

Buckeye and Barleyman,excellent AARs.I've only had a chance to watch up to turn 9,but from what I've seen it looks like a real tough map to attack on.I looked at the results and saw only 3 axis wins out of 12 games on that map :eek: .

I'm kicking myself for not joining this tourney when it was first announced,because it looks like a lot of fun.I like the whole idea of playing through the editor with custom maps.Will there be anymore like this at RD in the future?

[Direct fire HE against armour]

Originally posted by Dschugaschwili:

I remember that a while ago someone from BTS (probably Steve) said that tanks/guns in CMBB will switch to HE if they see that AP is ineffective against an enemy tank to try to damage the gun or tracks. So it seems that it will be implemented, although it may not be in currently.

Dschugaschwili

I've seen this happen quite a bit using flak guns.When you target something they can't knock out they switch to HE after a period of bouncing AP rounds and then cause gun damage and track damage.

[Detailed Downloable Unit List somewhere?]

Volker,

Try thislink there is some unit info at the bottom of the page.

[British A.V.R.E's]

Sounds like a helluva game redwolf

The AVRE has 25c rounds for the main gun and 250 rounds for the bow mg.

[A few beasts, or a swarm of tiddlers??]

Gen has good advice.

Forget churchill 95s their gun accuracy sucks at the long range engagments you'll find in 5000point games.

Pershings cost too much,you can buy a jackson and a priest for alot less.The jacksons gun while not as good as the pershings, will still kill panthers and to make up for it's low amount of HE you've got the priest.

All the brit tanks with 17pdrs have thin armour so your really just buying them for the gun.So it makes sense to get the cheapest.The archer might be too wierd to use if you're just learning,so the next best thing is the archilles.If you just want to kill panthers buy a mix of them and 17pdr a/t guns.Get some humber scout cars to distract the panthers so you can get off the first shots.

[A few beasts, or a swarm of tiddlers??]

Yeah,but a smart player will have 20mm flak/50mm pak guarding his flanks against m18/m8/stuart rushes,either that or he should keep his panthers back with good los to spot any rushes in the making and manuever against them.

If it was me I would probably use the cheap stuff like jacksons along with m8's/priest for infantry or as brits maybe 17pdr a/t guns or archilles.

[So hey, whats all this I hear about Doodads? Details Inside!]

Sooo sweet!

[Exposure Percentages, including Foxholes]

What about rough? IIRC it has decent cover and concealment,better then scattered trees I think,although not as good as buildings and woods/tall pines.
