Since I'm working on a large Normandy scenario I'd like to exchange the mountainous background skies in CMAK with more appropriate ones. Are there any out there? Could I use the skies from CMBB?
-
Did I tell you how we used to run with an MG3 on tripod? Uphill? In deep snow? While singing "Lili Marlen"?
-
Most important:
With an LMG on a bipod you usually fire short bursts of 3-5 rounds, while with a HMG on tripod you fire much longer bursts of 20-50 rounds. the tripod enables the gunner to fire much longer bursts with much higher accuracy.
The numbers are from my training with MG3, which is similar to the MG42 albeit with a slower ROF.

Why am I not surprised you're enjoying an alcoholic buzz?Originally posted by Mace:PS why am I not surprised your plants have 'personality'?
This one's for you:
"Q: What is the difference between an Australian wedding and an Australian funeral?
A: One less drunk at the funeral. "

I really wanted to insult Seanachai, just because I can.
But after reading his latest post on the GF in Slappy's thread I simply can't.
I'll therefore insult my mint plant instead.
While I'm at it I could insult Mace, too. Mint plants and Aussies are almost on the same evolution level anyway. Although my mint plant at least has personality. And personality goes a long way.
Good news: Dalem has not surrendered yet. I might have the pleasure of blowing up a couple of his Panzers first. Go me!
-
Hmmm... this thread is depressing.
Only a file from Dalem in my inbox could cheer me up now.
That, or the message that he suffered a terrible accident with his zipper.
-
And he looks like a dead, fat rat.
I still haven't forgotten the Ramekin pics...
-
For a brief moment I was... perplexed.
But the picture of a fat rat lying in a corner is much more fitting to Seanachai anyway.
EDIT: Kitty beat me to it.

Ramekin?Originally posted by Kitty:Ooo la la, mon petit ramekin. Tell us all the sordid details. =)
Kitty
I actually had to google for that.
Look what I found, Kitty:

Looks like female fingers...
Kitty?

Cool.
Dalem finally managed to return the file.
My troops are in position, the men's morale is high, all rabbits have been evacuated from the battlefield.

"Cool, now my Tiger will simply...WHAT THE F*CK??!
*sigh*
Geeze, that was some bad luck. Anyway, time for my arty to really mess up his inf...HEY!HEY!!!NOT THERE!!! AAAARGH!!!!"

The AI likes to use preplanned barrages when it can see enemy units after setup and especially when it has some heavy stuff with slooow reaction time.
Put a bunker or a truck with LOS to an AI FO and chances are high the FO will target it with a pre-planned barrage.
No guarantees, though.

Thank god pictures are not allowed in the signature...

Since we played on a large map with lots of hills, providing dozens of possible locations that was pretty much out of the question.Originally posted by Dschugaschwili:Nine mortars in one place? And your opponent didn't guess where they were located and drop some arty there after the first fire mission?

I might have been something she said. Like "I wouldn't touch you with a pointy stick even if you were the last man on this plant, so SOD OFF"!Originally posted by dalem:Lovely girl with a great rack. Why didn't I nail her?
Just guessing, of course.

A HQ (platoon, company or bataillon) can spot for mortars when the mortars are within command range of the HQ. That means your mortars can stay behind ridge, out of LOS of enemy units whily the HQ spots for them, meaning you can target your mortars everywhere your HQ has LOS to, without exposing them.
In a recent TCP/IP game I had a mortar park of 9x60mm mortars, with a HQ spotting for them.
9x60mm mortars, every team with 50-60 HE rounds...

Ugh...does that mean I can actually challenge you to FEAR THE WRATH of my romanian paratroopers as they secure...secure...some... PATCH OF WOODS!?
Edit: I'm drunk and currently listenig to Fame. Send me a setup or I'll do something horrible to my spearmint plant.

I'd like to challenge dalem, but I know I'm not supposed to.
Bummer...
Nice shirt, dalem.
*sigh*

Yep, great stuff, thx for posting!
-
Oh Boy.
I'm mightily pissed off.
With the world, my professor, the likes of whom should have been extinct by superior life-forms like, green slime, AEONS ago; the nitwits posting on the GF board who wouldn't make it to the semi-finals in the "how the world works" competition in a kindergarten for the mentally challenged, because their logic and analytical skills are comparable to the shrimp salad I had for dinner.
I'm so pissed off that stepping into this Cesspool and looking at this sorry arrangement of society's throw-offs actually makes me feel better. Almost.
*sigh*
Wankers.
PS: I'm still thinking about a proper insult for Lars. But looking at his posts it seems like life forestalled me there...

Don't play "To the Volga".

I agree with that, that's how I seee the tactical situation presented in a meeting engagement.Originally posted by jrrich0000:Also, a ME does NOT mean that the two forces do not know there is an enemy approaching, not if the commander and higher headquarters are doing their jobs. An ME takes place where forces know enemy is in the vicinity but have not localized them, and there is an objective to be seized. Otherwise, proper tactics would be to halt and form a Hasty Defence and send out patrols/scouts.
But then, since I pretty much only play scenarios, the problems of picking certain rules for a balanced, fair fight are way beyond me anyway...
CMAK replacement skies?

Thx for the tips!
I simply put my CMBB (some hir-res mod) skies into the CMAK folder and it works and looks great! Much more Normandy feeling now...
