Umm, I ordered wednesday and am playing the demo so I dont have a manual yet.. they arent covered in the CM_Demo_Instructions.html file..

What do the little buttons on the leaders mean.. right by their names.. like the questionmark, the lightning bolt and the heart? I think there is a total of for, but Ididnt see what function they serve, as they are not depressable..

Well it isnt that hard.. Create a scenario, with 40-50 Panzers of your choice.. Choose highly armored types.. Then create your enemy as about 50 recon jeeps.. Play.. Enjoy

Most of the casualties caused from bombardment were caused from shock damage. there are many accounts of bunkers on d-day being hit by 14" guns and not having more than divits of concrete removed. HOWEVER, when these bunkers where cleared the men inside were bleeding from eyes, ears, nose and usually babbling incoherently from the shockwave.. AND, in the sigfreid line, the us troups would pull shermans to within 25M of the rear iron doors and fire away, some times not even denting them, this lead to rolling in a priest or other 105-155MM gun to fire direct HE at them, or at the hinges surrounding the guns.. but after they get them open there is often no will to fight left in the troops inside.. AND, lets not forget, the bunkers and such are not really to scale, and are much smaller than they appear, not taking into account direct hits of course. so a close hit is probably just like a direct hit.
