Best H2H PBEM Scenarios
Col Deadmarsh replied to Col Deadmarsh's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Thanks, will take a look at these. -
I can confirm this too. I had this same problem with Vin's text mod and needed to install the update in place of the old. All looks good now.

Looking for balanced H2H scenarios that are around 30-50 turns. I prefer something that is either rural or involves a town. No city battles. Can anyone recommend some good ones, maybe with a link to the download page?

Scenario Download Sites
Col Deadmarsh replied to Col Deadmarsh's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
And by the way...what is a "size modifier" on The Blitz site? Anyone know? -
I've been to The Blitz and The Few Good Men. Are there others? I'm especially looking for sites that offer a rating system of uploaded scenarios to make it easier to choose good ones.

I can't even tell what is what in my games because there is no reference to go by. How on Earth is this info not in the manual? Is there a difference between rocky ground and rough ground or are both those types even included in CMBN? What about tree cover? Is there still a difference in cover between pine trees and trees of another type? And on a similar note, how does one even tell what terrain is what and why was this not included in the 'new' game? It seemed to work great for CMBB so why exclude that feature for CMBN?

Why was smoke used so rarely?
Col Deadmarsh replied to Zenomorph's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
I'm surprised myself that infantry wasn't issued smoke grenades as they seem so useful, especially in town fighting. I got the chance to talk to a vet who landed at Normandy years ago. Even though it's been said over and over around here that smoke wasn't used on that scale, I had to confirm about the rarity of such items. He said they weren't standard issue and he never used them. -
I was looking at the M8 HMC and it says that it carries WP rounds. Are these white phosperous rounds just smoke rounds?

Can someone recommend a great sound mod for me for the base game?
-
First of all, why is one of my units blinking really fast? What does that mean? I can't find the answer anywhere. Secondly, is there a mod that gets rid of the blinking for selected units and just makes it a solid orange color instead? I don't get the need for the blinking added on top of that and I REALLY, REALLY hate things that blink incessently. The slow blinking units are bad enough but this one that's blinking fast is driving me nuts.

Defintely the best of the bunch. Adds a whole 'nother strategic layer to the game. Or should I say, it puts back what used to be there in the days of CMBB.

Cool stuff Market Garden
Col Deadmarsh replied to Rokko's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Wait...you can fire screcks from inside buildings in Market Garden?? -
Request to BFC: Indexes for game manuals
Col Deadmarsh replied to John Kettler's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Great for PDFs, but doesn't work with hard copies. -
Has anyone ever done a test to see if split squads always get a leader of equal or lesser value to the original squad leader in both leadership and morale?
-
If your gun crew abandons the gun due to incoming fire, can they re-man it at a later time once their morale returns to normal?

SPW 251/3 Has A Panzerfaust?
Col Deadmarsh replied to Col Deadmarsh's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Interesting. So in real life situations, approx how many of these panzerfausts would a halftrack carry for defense? -
I clicked on this unit on one of my battles and it says they are equipped with a panzerfaust 30. Is this right and how would they use it when they're in the halftrack?

AT Gun Placement
Col Deadmarsh replied to Col Deadmarsh's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
That makes sense on a realistic level. Frankly, I'm surprised the game even allows you to put the gun in a foxhole or trench as it seems foxholes would be too small and trenches too narrow. Surely, this wouldn't work in the real world, would it? -
Is this one of the campaign scenarios that comes with the game?
