    CM:BN Dutch/Belgian/German preview

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    Well, judging from the headache and burning acid stomach....yesterday's war party was a success :)

    Great to meet all the guys who made the effort to come round. Special thanks to Jurrie for bringing the beamer as this greatly enhanced the preview experience and turned the lounge into a true Wargamer's lair :D

    It is safe to say that CM:BN brought the magic back for those who got their hands onto the preview BETA yesterday :) Great to hear the positive comments and see the delight on faces as Stugs/Panthers/Shermans and howling fighter bombers lit up the screens.

    Thanks for the beers guys! We should do this again :)

    Cheers

    AI controlled IEDs

    in CMSF Scenario and Mod Design Forum

    Posted

    Hi Jonny

    I have found that to get the AI to use IED's you need to do the following:

    1. Set the trigger-man up with LOS to the device, don't hide him. Give him a small tight target arc to prevent him getting trigger happy (excuse pun). Arm IED.

    2. Pray you don't roll snake-eyes :)

    I spent hours re-doing the Al Huqf scenario where I had several trigger men, set up like above, and the results were fun. Sometimes IED's went off, sometimes the trigger man was killed. I used both wire and cell-phone dudes, and found that LOS was the most important in success.

    Good luck.

    CM:BN Dutch/Belgian/German preview

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Hi guys :)

    I'm just wondering what sort of interest there would be for a preview of CMBN to be held in my concrete bunker in Den Haag, Holland somewhere near the end of February.

    The rules are simple:

    If you are a Belgian, please bring beer and chocolate. If German, bring beer and some sort of chewy sausage. For the Dutchies...well, anything that can be legally bought in a bakery.

    There is ample free parking and plenty of room, just take your shoes off at the door.

    I have a desktop and large screen laptop so there will be the option to play H2H while drinking the beer you will bring.

    Let me know so I can make the necessary arrangements.

    Cheers

    David
