I'd go option 1 as well.

4200 points worth of rockets and a platoon of fusilers to walk into the victory location. j/k

Just finished Fair & Square. Lost all my armour obtaining a total victory in Crescendo of Doom. Kept hoping I'd get replenished like the Germans apparently did, but nope. B R U T A L On a positive note, the bonus mission map is nearly stunning. Absolutely beutiful.

You could well be correct VafB. My working hypothesis has been that a sound contact appeared was less opaque than a lost visual contact. I've never tested it and unless I actually saw the silhouette of a positive ID, which could well be missed in the mayhem, I don't concern myself with a distinction beyond being aware that something was there at some point. It either is ID'd again, or it isn't.

Well, I think the opacity of the ? is related to the strength of the contact which could be a function of type (sound / visual) and length of time, so it does convey some information. [Edited to include the following:] Also, I believe scenario designers can include them as a designation of intel level. Absent additional contact, they'll fade following the start of the scenario.

Do a search with terms "small" or "platoon" or "company" and "scenario" in this CMBN forum. There've been several threads on this.

Effectivieness is unknown with the exception that the manual tells us that seriously wounded soldiers have a 25% chance of gaining KIA status if not treated with buddy aid.

Wish someone would have told the ai panther in the field last night that it couldn't see the churchill behind the bocage it destroyed. The icons for both were highlighed when selecting either, but the churchill couldn't trace LOS through "target".

I'm using Ari's HD presently as well. Vein's terrain mod is pretty nice too. There are elements from each terrain mod that I have preferences for, but it is such a PitA to go through picking out the individual files for customization. It is possible to do it though.

Panther Games title. Haven't picked up Airborne Assault in years, but I'll buy this bulge game on rep alone. I KNOW it will have fantastic ai. Those guys are really responsive to player feedback, too.

Is there a typo in the Campaign briefing or some sort of bug here? Campaign briefing represents that "Bloody Encounter" follows "Going to Church". After G2C, my next battle was "No Hiding Place"(?).

Yup, gonna get those.

Thanks Ari! These are just beautiful.

Is this the same Patrick Ware that created the two CMBO mini-campaigns: No rest for the weary, and Any port in a storm? Those two series of missions are where I cut my teeth on CM combined arms.

Maybe this was the big project.

I'd do wego if tcp/ip were available. SP, I run RT. Same boardgaming background as everyone else and I'm 49, pushing 50 shortly.

If the Coy HQ is destroyed, XO will fill that function. Beyond that, a lot of folks use them as medics. You can always put them in the firing line, obviously. I don't believe XO will act as an interim link between a section / platoon HQ and the coy HQ.

Should be new arty assets available. Be sure and scroll through the arty dialog box. There are more assets than slots available in a single panel.

wego tcp/ip and/or pausable RT?

Odd. I'm struggling to remember a CMBN scenario where I've had more KIA than wounded.

I'd be surprised if you couldn't load small arms ammo in a vehicle. I'd also be surprised if you could load ammo for a spg.

Yup, Pz Blitz was first wargame I ever owned. My dear late Dad even took the time to play it with me once in a while.

The mods improve the appearance greatly.

WoL: Graphics - Have you installed graphics mods available at the Repository or GreenAsJade's cmmods?

Thanks. I had an amalgamation of several sound mods through rez explode for 1.01 that I'd just thrown together in a folder. There were a few samples yours did not include so I kept those, e.g., vehicle loops and screams, american voices, but aside from the self imposed file sorting exercise, fantastic job!
