Coaxil MGs purpose?
Thermopylae replied to Horncastle's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
So you can run a C pattern on any infantry you find in the open without firing off your loaded round. Probably helped with ranging too. -
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypso...
Thermopylae replied to Seanachai's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
So would prospective cultists need any skills, or would blind obedience alone suit? -
Yes. Surrender you damned emerald scum and you shall be forgiven for your trespasses against the people. Eventually the isle shall grow peaceful, and we will mothball our KV-2s because no-one thinks there'll be another big war. Thus, over the course of a few years, you will have taken them down.

Anyone have the 1.0 to 1.01 patch?
Thermopylae replied to Thermopylae's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
I'm fairly sure it is a client side problem now. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. [ September 10, 2003, 07:39 PM: Message edited by: Thermopylae ] -

Thermopylae replied to Thermopylae's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
And from the looks of it, if you could include the 1.02 and 1.03 patches, that'd be helpful too since I apparently "can't find" all the dl pages. -
That it does, that it does...

And why call it a clan? Thats just asking to drive away grog-folk. Especially since the vast majority are probably not into dressing themselves up w/ranks and such.

Gunners...commanders?
Thermopylae replied to Panzertruppe's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Rather the commander was left to do the gunnery. He'd ride about doing the commander thing until the shooting time came, at which point he'd drop down and be a gunner. This naturally made command and control rather impossibly hard when fighting was under way. -
Fleet in being - any point?
Thermopylae replied to Sergei's topic in Combat Mission - Tips and Tricks
I dunno, If I get a tank Id which dissapears, it usually doesn't chnage my plans too much.I'll roll on my initial plan, but now with knowledge that the enemy has armor. -
You been ordered to take this tank into combat
Thermopylae replied to Hans's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
File a breakdown, and go on as infantry. -
Anti-tank Gun Question
Thermopylae replied to Wunsche's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Alternatively, aim for the ground 3m to the left or right of the gun. -
How to set up a fair Meeting engagement?
Thermopylae replied to honorata's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Simple. Do an attack/defense. -
Resolved: Computer Select is Better
Thermopylae replied to PeterX's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
I reccommended a change for this once upon a time. It was a random historical battle generator. The player could set the time, size ( but NOT points..say company, company+, etc) place, division types facing off, and even the force mix I suppose. Then the game selcts from a variety of historically accurate OOBs, (for say a common Guards Armor company in the central region in june 42), tweak it a little so nothing is cookie cutter, assign artillery and extra support, then poof tghe battle is made. Quick note, for armor, tanks would be randomized according to their presence in the region and their doctrinal use. Both sides would pop out with more realistic, but not consistently the same, forces. -
Small battles are my favourite!
Thermopylae replied to GrouchoMarxist's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
As to the infantry assualts... The only time I've actually seen infantry assualts work is in city fighting (building to building) and when you can hit the enemy from a flank while another unit pours fire into them from 100m or so. -
Apparently with regards to the AH-64s, they got so shot up by men with smalla rms precisely because they were men with small arms. They were firing from rooftops and the such, and the ROE prohibited the use of really heavy firepower on buildings which might still have civilians in them.

TacOps to be used in USMC training
Thermopylae replied to Moon's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Yes, West Point bought up enough Steel Beasts copies to equip a couple full sim labs. And it seems the computers come pre-loaded with TacOps. -

Thermopylae replied to Snarker's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Thats actually a great quote...and by this point in the game, we're definitely into the last portion of it. While we're on the topic, could I covince you to a PBEM game wallybob? -

Thermopylae replied to Snarker's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
ARRRGRGGGGGJHHHHHHHHHHHGGAAARRRRGGHHHHHHHH!!!!! Myself and Goodale continue to be locked in a battle of not-qiuite-epic proprtions! Fiery death has consumed anothe rone of my panzer IIIs, though of course, at least a platoon og russian tankers met bloody, horrible fates in the mean time, and by my count so have another 20 odd soviet riflemen. You could almost here them begging for an end to it all, screaming as their guts were mangled in a blatantly stupid charge...its ok, we'll leave them to bleed out cursing goodales name... -

GRAGAGAGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: (oh if anyone else wants a festival o exploding death and spleens, please say so. My PBEM times are somewhat random, but the game will get done. eventually)
