Does anyone know where I can get a PDF file or a word doc of CMBB, CMAK, or strategy guide? I have bought every Combat Mission CD and manual but I would like to have it on my hard drive. Any suggestions?

I have a question. If I have a platoon leader with stealth ability and his infantry is within range, is this infantry fortified with stealth capabilities even when they are “moving” status. Or does this only apply to sneak mode? How about run mode? I have read the document but I only seen a statement that said it applies to sneak mode.

JasonC, I just want to say, “thank you!” You are awesome to deliver a wealth of valuable information. I was very please with your suggestions. It was so valuable to me that I print it out and highlighted very important information. There were several information that I forgot, did not realize, and neglected to consider. I think, I will NOT use a potral squad but I will use a good defense plan. I really like your suggestion on movement of people and having support in the rear. This is what I wanted--tactics and suggestions. If I was to thank you for everything then this will be a very long reply so I hope the “thank for everything” is sufficient. I do have a question. You wrote this: “Get them motionless soon - they can even hide, with the HQ only "up" and looking, using a covered arc to hold fire.” If I have the Greens hidden with cover ace applied and they are located about 70m in front of the HQ, what is the reason why I want to have HQ in up position? Do the HQ provide better command or perhaps better LOS (in a wide arc) benefiting his Greens? I know in hidden mode their view is reduced and the wide angle view is more narrowed. Once again you provide me with valuable information. I do greatly appreciate it. I have know I deal where he coming from. With some Intel deception, I may have got him (my opponent) thinking that I only protecting the side that has the pine trees. Thank JasonC. To Mike_the_wino, I will never give him the sword. I will only reward him the sword with sweat and blood stains. :mad:

Thanks Steiner 14 for replying. Yes this is the original scenario from the game. Sorry, I didnt realize that. Excuse my ignorance but what is IIRC? Anyway, I like the advice. That what I need is a way to approach this scenario and you provided it. I think he will use probing. I like the suggestion give about the cover arc so my tanks can ignore his infantry. I alsolike your suggestion to keep your armor flexible. I need help because my force are green and regular and they are weakened thus they will panic quickly so . I would have to have some good support to prevent them from panicking. The map is so basic that its hard to devise a plan of defense. Keep in mind, I will most likely be defending my position. I have the ability to get in place and wait, protecting the two flags. Questions: 1. There are no riverbed. Its just a road, ice over river, and pine forest in the distance. Are we on the right scenario? 2. In defending, should I really risk1 probing maneuvers? With weakened forces, I’m risking harm to my overall force. 3. What should I do with the trucks after I disembark my troops? Perhaps I could use them to draw fire? Initially, I will have 5 trucks. 4. How should I set up my defense perimeter? One of my strategy books suggest a way to debilitate your opponent forces. The author states to have a front line fight then have them pull behind the second line of defense while the second line deliver cover fire then pull the second line behind 3st line (which was or particularly was the first line of defense). BUT I’m risking defeat using this tactic due to the green and weakened forces. Any other suggestions will help. Again thanks and please do not divulge to me what he has in his forces. I need practical tactics and strategies. Thanks

I really need some help. A good friend and I, play CMBB with some intensity. Whoever wins the best out of 5 game gets to display an expensive sword at their house until the other person win the next best out of 5 games. In essence, this guy is better than me. This next scenario is a difficult one for me. I’m call all master mind to give me suggestions on playing this scenario. I having a difficult time trying to set up this scenario. PLEASE HELP! You can review the scenario in here: http://ns9.super-hosts.com/~dragonlair.net/combatmission/CMBBscenarioreview03.php?UniqueID=66&Name=Lake+Ladoga Scenario: LAKE LADOGA I am: Allied (Soviet Regular) My Friend: Axis (Finnish) My Forces are not FIT they are WEAKENED The forces should be balanced. If you wish check out the map on the link provided up above. PLEASE DONT TELL ME WHAT HE HAS!!!!!! We made an agreement not to play the scenaro before we play it. I need a good plan and tactical suggestions. This is a very opened. I have no clue how to set this one up for a sure win. Thanks in advance.

Is there a vehicle or outpost used to replenish the troop ammo?

I like the ability to create your own scenarios; however, I made a scenario and I went in to play the computer as Axis and I was unable to. I can play as an Allied with no problem. When I chose Axis it only give me an option to play in “hotseat”, “email”, or “TCP/IP”. Why is this? Do I need to change a setting in “create scenario”? thanks in advance

hey any one knows how to play online. I have a person who I need to resolve a dispute with--in the game. But we cant manage to get linked up. HELP SOMEBODY.

thanks. bazooka are definitely too weak to penetrate the Panther but I will probably use the troop. Good suggestion on the smoke screen. Thanks <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Gremlin: In a pinch, troops can sometimes take out a tank from very close range with grenades and so forth, but ideally you'll want to use a bazooka or PIAT. With a lot of luck, the mortars could possibly score a top penetration or blow off a tread and immobilize it. That's unlikely, and it would be wiser to use the mortars to creat a smoke screen just as you're about to sneak infantry in behind the the tank. If you can get your tank around for a flank shot, using the smoke screen, that would be the best, since the Panther has relatively weak side armor. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

What can you all suggest to annihilate the formidable Panther tank? I’m about to loose my last tank. I do not have any other mobile vehicles except an off map mortar, an on map mortar and some troops. Does any ground troop have the ability to render this tank in operable?

Excellent data and advise. Thanks for everything Esp. the advance tactics--thanks tremendeously. One more thing--you said have the HQ guy in line of sight...would the spotter due. Excuse my ignorance. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by cyborg: Hey, I’m currently in a heated battle with a friend and I’m determined to annihilate him. What tactics can I implement when using the mortar troop. Does the spotter have high significant? Does the spotter give coordinates to the mortars at any location or does he need to be in the general vicinity of the mortar. Can I have the spotter on top of a hill and have to mortar in the valley and be affective—mortars moves very slow, you know.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thanks a great deal. Alaska uh... <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by 109 Gustav: Hidden or not, the benefits are the same. Try it out, give one of your HQs a double command bonus. Move his squads a long way from him, so that they are just barely in command. Then hide him. As you can see, the squads are still in CnC. If the HQ is panicking or routed, he cannot command his units, though. Yes, even if he has no special abilities, being in CnC will still give units less delay before moving and a morale bonus. Therefore, keep squads in CnC at all times! I can't believe the details either. For example, I was amazed to find that grenades are modeled differently for Germans and Allies. And yes, it is at least #1. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Does the Platoon HQ guy needs to be unhidden to benefit from him or can I hide him and get the same effect. How about if the Platoon HQ is so feeble that he has no icon indicating extra ablities (i.e. star for skills), does it matter if he is in radio contact if he as no icon displayed? Love the depth of this game--so detail. It gotta to be the #1 combat strategy game.?.
