Another way to help combat the leveled-town effect -- especially for the upcoming CMAK game -- is for the scenario designer to make most (if not all!) buildings "Heavy". Now, this is assumning that a heavy building is of masonry/stone/stucco construction, and a Light one is made of wood. The big added benefit of this is that it would also be more realistic -- as there's just not that much wood in North Africa to use for construction (but lots of rocks & sun-baked clay!). In the southern Med (Italy, Crete, Sicily, etc) stone & stucco is (correct me if I'm wrong) also probably the preferred building material.

Nope, I remember "my" P51 behaving properly. IIRC, it only went after the bonifide bad guys.

BRRRR!!! You can almost feel the cold from the snow & icicles! Downloading these guys should help prepare ourselves for the upcoming cold temps!

Nice work indeed! ...impatiently awaiting for the upload of these beauties.

Easy Answer: Yes

Well, to pick nits, Großdeutscland fought in France in 1940 More relevent, the Führer Begleit Brigade (part of Großdeutschland) was involved in the Ardennes offensive </font>

Great CM site! Be sure to visit here & check out their scenarios.

I've vainly looked up in the Scenario Depot for the "Red Barricades" map referred to here. I'd be curious to see it. Could someone be so kind as to tell an ol' ASL'er just whar it could be found? Thanks! [ November 27, 2003, 12:39 PM: Message edited by: CKibler ]

I for one hope this rumor to be untrue.

This goes a long way in explaining the unusual request in March 1942 by the Army Dept. for athletic field preparers (AKA as "Limers").

Ditto here.

I actually had a full 12-man squad of G.I.'s surrender to my advancing IIIM's in the desert scenario. First time I'd ever seen that. Nice change!

Ya, a more subtle version would, imho, be nicer.

Yes, very nice indeedy! Thanks.

Here's another vote for Oddball. I prefer the CMBO tab-1 view, too. Even so, it's still great. Super job.

Yes, there are. A rather huge Operation centering on the Tractor Factory, as well (really taxes my system, anyway). Hope you thought to buy the "bundle pack", giving you both "Combat Mission" games as a set.

So you'd like to do a scenario south of Kharkov, but not sure what the terrain is like? Well, the following website is a really good place for fully-detailed 1:100000 maps of southern Ukraine & sourthern Russia. http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EART/soviet_maps.html

Yes, but can they be organized chronologically? For instance, is there a button that will change them from their default (?) alphabetical listing to chronological? I, like a few others, would also rather have the scenarios displayed chronologically (or at least an option for it).</font>

Yup, the armor of the KV-1S (the KV you get in the demo's "citadel" scenario) was, overall, a bit less than the KV-M42. As a quick comparison, the armor on the Front/Side/Rear of the KV-1S was 82/82/82 (mm/side) with hull glacis armor of 75, whereas on the KV-M42 it was 120/120/90, with hull glacis of 110. Interestingly, tho, the earlier model KV-M41 had turret armor of 90/75/75 & hull glacis of 75 -- comparable to the KV-1S. (figures from "Soviet Tanks and Combat Vehicles of WWII" by Zaloga/Garndsen)

From the Encyclopedia of German Tanks of World War II (Doyle/Chamberlain/Jentz): Panzerkampfwagen 35R 731(f) Combat Service: Pz Kpfw 35R were issued to only one regular unit of the Panzer troops, the reforming 100th Panzerbrigade of the 21st Panzer Division (New) in 1943. These returned to the depot after a few months. Six platoons of 35R were sent to the Channel Islands in 1941 and, also in 1941, twenty-six 35R were issued as Command-vehicles to the Panzerjaeger detachments equipped with 4.7cm PaK(f) auf Pz Kpfw 35R(f). A number of other 35R were scattered among infantry divisions garrisoned in France. Hmmm. Not much EF action mentioned there, though I'm not sure where the reformed 21st Pz Div was at in '43. Quite possibly Russia...

But on the East Front (and in CMBB), the Germans and their Finnish/Rumanian/Italian/Hungarian/Bulgarian/Croation/etc. cronies were the "Allies". [ September 11, 2002, 10:11 PM: Message edited by: CKibler ]

We can!? Wow. That's great news!! Is this a new feature for CMBB (only, at this point)?
