Mh, the movie doesn't work...but my experience told me that it's not possible to target a prisoner. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Visit my Combat Mission Sound Mods site! Scipiobase Join the Blitzkrieg Wargaming Club

We have Wurfrahmen in CM??? Have Imissed something? ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Visit my Combat Mission Sound Mods site! Scipiobase Join the Blitzkrieg Wargaming Club

That's not correct, there was many foreigners in the Totenkopf units (which was assigned in the KZ), too. About the Waffen-SS, they had some elite divisions like the normal Wehrmacht, too, but wasn't generally an Elite. Keep in mind, at the peak served 1 Million men in the Waffen-SS. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Visit my Combat Mission Sound Mods site! Scipiobase Join the Blitzkrieg Wargaming Club

So much talking about the scale... every arty spotter represents 4 Artillery squads with one barrel. Take a 105mm with 100 rounds, this means 25 rounds each barrel. That's not to much. In my military service, my battalion had 1 staff company, 3 infantry companys and 1 heavy company (where I served), with AT-rockets and SIX 120mm selfpropelled mortars! PLUS several heavy Artillerybattalions from the Division. And that's only the nominal strengh in peacetime. In my own battles, I buy usualy as much Artillery as allowed, calibers how I guess that I will need them. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Visit my Combat Mission Sound Mods site!

Please excuse, but what is the joke here? ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Visit my Combat Mission Sound Mods site! Scipiobase Join the Blitzkrieg Wargaming Club

Wow, one day not visited the forum, and I nearly missed the discussion I started . My inital thought was: if the attacking side (the one who wants the flag) wasn't able to take it til a specified time, they should be unable to turn it to '?', but should still be able to turn the flag to it's own color. After reading all the posts, I realize that 'control' is not easy to define. Also, if I don't secured my VL so wise and in a wide area, then it's my problem if the enemy successfully break throught and neutralize it, what can be already an military success! This is an very important point. Let's look at Stalingrad. Non of both sides had really control of it for several month - bud nevertheless, the russian wasn't able to use the river Wolga as transporting way. I agree: we don't have a VL problem in CM. Maybe this discussion helps to eleminate this misunderstanding. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Visit my Combat Mission Sound Mods site!

We've already seen it all, in the last minute the opponent starts a storm on the VLs to 'steal' you the points. Okay, I've already done it, too. Nevertheless, it sucks, and I guess it's a bit unhistoric. Ideas? My favorite : from a random point in the last 3-5 rounds, the VLs can't change to '?'. They can only taken abolutly, this means, the attacking side must REALLY take them and destroy/drive away all enemy. Routed/Paniced etc units doesn't count. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen!

...mh, of course, you don't wear a flower in your hair...so I'm not sure...on the other hand, John wears a flower in the hair, but he was only a man with a woman mod...such things seem to be more complicated then I thought. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen!

Hey - you look like a women!?! I've already read about women...but I can't find the page in the manual... ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Visit my Combat Mission Sound Mods site!

Originally posted by Sten: A generic, US, engineer platoon comes with two FT teams. Not including them would be unhistorical. Granted, QBs are somewhat unhistorical to start with, but we could at least play with the historical units, right? I can drop them in them in the editor, so why not in the a QB? And yes, maybe it's unhistoric - so what? If someone want to play historic only - okay, but why must always? I will play unhistoric, too!!! This is already in the game. It's not. I can still select only from 300 - 5000 pp. And generally one point to add to my first post: I want to be able to set EVERYTHING optional to 'Random' ------------------ Keine Gefangenen!

I whould like to see more custom settings for Quickbattles. a) preset number and scattering-range of the VLs (and also no VLs) troopselection like in the scenario editor - if I buy engineers, I won't buy two flamethrowers all the time, too, for example. c) free set of the purchase points. Why bind them to preset levels? d) skip the difference of probe, attack and assault. At last a probe is an attack with purchase-handicap and an assault an attack with purchase-advantage e) maps with rivers would be nice f) a briefing screen for both players which shows all settings. It sucks to write down all setting for my opponent or create screenshots for every game. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Visit my Combat Mission Sound Mods site!

An interesting question, I never thought about it before. When I look on the equipment they had I can't figure out what kind of troop they should be. If they had demo charges and flamethrowers, I would say 'Assault engineers', but they have non. If they would be equipped with a lot of SMG, MP-44 and LMG, I would think a light infantery assault group for close combat and/or housefighting, but they have mainly rifles. The only reference I could find on Assualt Groups leads to German troops of the WW1, used for small, local attacks. But we aren't in WW1. BTS, can you explain? ------------------ Keine Gefangenen!

When your neighbours called the police because they heard you screaming: "SHOOT! SHOOT! YOU DAMNED IDIOT! BRING THAT F...G CAT DOWN!

I agree - the attacker with Übertanks is mostly disadvantaged. But is it the defenders dept that he wasted points in fast burning piles of steel? ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Visit my Combat Mission Sound Mods site! Scipiobase Join the Blitzkrieg Wargaming Club

Yes, the print screen button. Then open a paint program (the simple windows included is enough) and insert the screenshot as new picture. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Visit my Combat Mission Sound Mods site! Scipiobase Join the Blitzkrieg Wargaming Club

I can't remember that I've seen it before 1.12, but now I see for several times that roads goes in zigzag lines, what makes it very difficult to use them. And it's of course absolute unrealistic. ------------------ Keine Gefangenen! Visit my Combat Mission Sound Mods site! Scipiobase Join the Blitzkrieg Wargaming Club
