I'd like to join the Galactic Empire. Stormtrooper armour rocks and the heavy repeating blaster ownz all those dirty rebel n00bs. Besides, I might get the chance to kill Ewoks. Nothing beats killing Ewoks.

Philipp, with your permission...

I'm tempted to use this as my new sig line.Originally posted by Philippe:I think I can comment on this because I used to live above the Baby Doll Lounge, a topless bar that was once frequented by bikers in lower Manhattan.

Out of pure sadism I played this scenario against the AI with me commanding the german kitties.
After 7 turns I ended the battle, sparing the poor AI further humiliation.
At that point I had killed 22 Hellcats and lost 2 Panthers...
Should be a hell of a battle vs a human opponent though.
EDIT: Tom, in my game I lost both Panthers to front turret penetrations at 1000+m.

Nice little bones here.
Like Kip already wrote I'm also really hoping for a much improved campaign/data interface that would make it easier to track units' casualties/ammo/etc... during a series of engagements. Together with the arty modelling this is my major problem with CM.
Funny fact is that I'm STILL not tired of CMBB, and have hardly scratched the surface of CMAK yet. Both will keep me happy until CMX is released.
And you can add me to the "space lobsters of DOOOM" fan club.

Exactly.Originally posted by Martyr:I would add that those of us interested in WW2, being educated about it as we presumably are, have a special obligation to oppose antisemitic or other race-supremicist lies. This is especially true when they crop up in our own circles.
And I find Steiner 14's signature most inappropriate for this forum.

VERY nice, thanks a lot!

But for an armoured counterattack to succeed you first have to have an armoured force at all. And since the attrition rate for the Panzers was very high you need your industry to produce as many tanks as possible. So I doubt it would've been possible to somehow substitute tanks for AT guns.
It is interesting that Guderian advocated the use of Stugs and Jagdpanzers to replace the rather immobile AT guns within the infantry divisions when he became inspector general of panzer troops.

I doubt this would have been be a sound solution to the problems on the eastern front. I'm pretty sure the massive soviet preparatory artillery barrages would be able to smash a hole in any forward defense, and with the red army mobile formations breaking through these gaps the lack of a mobile, tank-heavy counter-offensive force would spell doom on the defenders.

1.) The german term for the laundry equipment is Waschbrett, but I have no clue about the terrain feature.
2.) Chasseurs de Chars are tank destroyers, like the german Panzerjäger.
3.) Franzmänner.

Ooops, I was thinking about the KV 2 but typed I. Corrected that.

Your best weapons against KV 2s in '41 are the 88mm Flak or a Stuka. If none are available infantry close assaults are quite effective. Force the KV to button up to reduce its spotting ability, use smoke to cover the advance and hope there is only one of them around...
All the german Panzers in '41 can't really kill a KV 2, but you may be able to disable the gun or immobilize it. Even 20mm guns can immobilize a KV 2 and sometimes force a green crew to abandon the tank.

I'd say they're usually part of a bigger formation like a company.

It is important to understand that big, heavy buildings in CMBB are, well, big heavy buildings.
When I look at large, older buildings here in Germany it is not unusual to have about 1-1.5m of solid brick between to buildings. Your average infantry group would have a pretty hard time digging through those walls in the CM timeframe.
It should be a bit different for specially equipped/trained troops like engineers, though. If engineers could blow through the walls of heavy buildings it would give them a great advantage in city fighting.

I'm not getting it either... :confused:

The Xbox version is supposed to be released soon after the Gamecube version. Release date is February 30th.
You get to the bigger, more deadly weapons when you pick up enough of the blue power ups that appear whenever you destroy a Tiger or KingTiger tank. Also make sure your Karma-level doesn't drop below 50%. NEVER kill faeries. And make sure to activate all defensive spells before enaging any enemy tank.
There wasn't Japanese in ww2.
All your base are belong to us.

In one of my books there is a photo of a commonwealth soldier firing a bren MG on a tripod. Don't have a scanner though...Originally posted by jeffsmith:Is there real any evidence, other than Mr Dorosh (Respectfully Uttered, of course)
that Bren Gun Tripods were actually ever made let alone utilized ?

He was quite a diplomatic guy, old Götz...

The problem is that there simply isn't any topic left we haven't debated to death during the last four or five years.
Maybe I should start a new "SS are overprized Hamsters" or a "why can't HMG teams run" for old times' sake.

Thank you, very nice!
Downloading as I write this.

You will get more points in case B.).

Glad you're getting into the game. I hope these won games were in fact attacks by your side. Because, honestly, the CM AI sucks while attacking.
As you have been probably told already, the real fun with CM starts when you start to play human opponents. To say that that would transfer CM gameplay to a new level would be a polite understatement...

Ronn, willkommen! Wie Juju schon erwähnte wird hier im Allgemeinen in englisch gepostet, da dies ja ein internationales Forum ist. So können es auch mehr Leute verstehen und Deine Fragen schneller beantworten.
Du kannst beruhigt die Collector's Edition kaufen, es gibt keinen Unterschied zwischen dieser Version und den 'normalen' Versionen. Was Szenarien und Mods angeht sind alle Versionen 100% kompatibel.
Computer Experience Bonus in CMAK
in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

The +1/+2 boni is applied 'within the engine' only. So you will still see the original experience levels, not the "adjusted" ones.
EDIT: Jamoomba obviously inspired Soddy and me at the same time. Praise Jamoomba!
