Pvt. Ryan

No flares?

I started with my forces deployed well back, waited until reinforcements arrived, and then counter attacked. It also helps to get the Javelins in the building all the way to the right so they can pick off the tanks that the Challengers cant see without exposing themselves. A spotter in there also helps to weaken the infantry.

This will be frowned upon by the Ministry of Silly Underpants.

Are you saying the medieval kings didn't always have a turkey leg at dinner?

Are you referring to the icon that indicates the soldier is an AT specialist? He could be the RPG man in a squad or the main operator of a ATGM.

Quicksand. The level of detail in this game is amazing.

The squad is usually right next to the wall when I give the command.

I think you could put out half a dozen modules that would be gladly snapped up as long as there was enough content to justify them. Some people would buy the oddball module just to get a Syrian truck.

The acquire command should be something that you program at a waypoint set inside a vehicle so that you can enter the vehicle, acquire weapons/ammo, and exit the vehicle all in one turn with one series of orders. The dismount command should set a waypoint under or near the vehicle so you can plot your next move from there. I pretty much play real time exclusively now, so I forgot how frustrating these situations can be.

At least TOW has unit formations!

I find that if I put the blast waypoint on the near side of the wall the engineers often sit there and do nothing. If I put it on the far side of the wall they always blast through. I just cancel the fast command before they start running.

I don't think mine clearing is a part of actual combat. It's usually done before or after the shooting.

Charles just has to make a few small modifications to the code. I am not a programmer, but I am sure they are easy to do. If I can't make underground complexes in CM: Normandy, the game will be fatally flawed.

I plan to use the bridges to make an entire underground complex. Maybe I'll even make a DOOM total makeover.

In Soviet Union standards gasp at you.

Very long wait times here.

Contact BFC and they can probably help you out.

That's what I thought. I always dismount my FO so he can get LOS from a good vantage point. The only time I would keep the FO in the Warrior or Bradley is if I am reasonably confident the enemy doesn't have any long range AT assets. A dummy gun may fool a real life enemy, but it doesn't fool the AI.

I am assuming that the real life purpose of the mast is to enable the vehicle to do its job from a safe position. If it is just a tall antenna for communications then I guess the vehicle isn't supposed to work this way.

This is why when Steve says so and so will take a few days or a few weeks, etc., he is so far off the mark. He clearly failed at math.

Don't forget Airborne 101.

+6 months

I find that the only way I can knock out a Syrian MG on a roof is to flatten the building. Those guys just won't die.

I'm looking forward to F-16 support in Normandy. We'll really find out what knocked out Wittmann's Tiger.
