    Found an old photo of my grandfather in WW2

    Nah..i was just making it up to spice up the fake photo's smile.gif

    I think AAR's with black and white pictures would be nicer/realistic then the colour ones.

    My grandfather was too old to fight in WW2, my father too young.

    btw Holland was run over in a few weeks,most who sneaked out to England were pilots.

    Later in the war they flew in the 322 "Dutch" Squadron.

    I myself am a member of the virtual 322 squadron , part of the EAF (European Air Force )

    Not using Panzersfausts

    I had some good results with CLOSE assaults.

    ( only do this when no other enemy units are nearby )

    Give a RUN command close to the enemy tank ( buttoned preferred)at about 5 meters distance.

    Then the unit will use their fausts.

    In most cases, other enemy units are closeby so you cant use this method ( or you have to risk a (half)squad for the chance taking out a tank.

    Guess which tank survived this duel........

    ok, here is the answer:

    The Sherman ( Sgt. Sanchez ) reversed a few meters.

    The Panther turned and drove to the next street.....where another Sherman popped up ( you see him drive at topspeed at this picture)

    btw Shandorf is right about the fast hull turn of the Panther.

    The turn of the hull combined with the turret turn can scare the hell out of you when you think you got an easy side kill with a Sherman.

    The Panther can turn his muzzle in about 5.5 second 90 degrees this way.

    Anyway, the second Sherman (Sgt Aubron )was buttoned due to a wounded TC.

    That caused a very late spotting of the Panther right in front of the Sherm when he raced round the corner.

    cm0045.jpg

    Both tanks fired at the same time, the Sherm hit a track which immobilized the cat, the Sherm was knocked out.

    Next turn Sgt. Sanchez Sherman raced forwards and stopped behind the wounded Panther who started to turn the turred.

    But because the hull could not turn, it turned tooooo slowly ( not much btw )

    Here is the kill shot:

    cm0047.jpg

    btw Sgt.Sanchez had to abandon a few turns later his Sherm due to a hit of another Panther.

    Scenario Designing Question from Newbie.

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    I am busy with making my first scenario, but i can't find a way to place units at a specific point on the map where they should start.

    Is it possible to place the units for BOTH sides, or can i do this for only 1 side?

    Can i have Craters at the start of the scenario ? How ?

    Is there an article or site where i can find hints /tips for scenario designers ?

    I would be very gratefull if anybody can answer my questions.
