Blenheim

Combat Mission: Imperial Eagles. Combat Mission: Revolutionary Wars. From 1791 to 1815. Everything from Aspern, Austerlitz, Borodino and Jena to Waterloo and the 100 days. Frenchies winning battles. Guys with furry hats. Another winter in Russia. Cossacks!. The bridge of Leipzig. Bresina's crossing. Arapiles. The Iron Duke at Portugal. Spanish Guerrilleros. Damm, I want this game. Pleaaaaase.

Well, I was having small QB against the AI yesterday. In one of the battles, I was leading a 1000 points allied attack on a town. I got a pretty useful mixture of units, with two 81 mm mortar arty spotters, a Sherman 76 +, ando good infantry. The attack was doing well, even after losing a full squad in less than 10 seconds in an ambush. When I reached the center of the town with my front units, clearing the way to the Sherm, I saw the most gamey thing that the AI has ever made in my computer: He had bought a JagdTiger. Yes, that thing with a huge gun, heavy armour and low production.... Man, I had a really hard time. I laid tons of smoke with the mortars all around the village, moved in the Zooks and the Sherm trying to flank the monster...(hard time, hard time!!!). I lost 3 zooks, the Sherm (those guys in the Ronson should be court martialled: they blasted 3 rounds in the side armour of the JT without getting a penetration before the beast got them) and finally destroyed the damm thing with my last zook in a flank shot from 25 m. Wow.

This parrot is dead! (BTW, any killer RED grannies unit in CMB? )

Damm, I'd like to post more, but I can't stop playin'... :eek: .

Vaya, aparte de Argie, ¡hay algun hispano más! (a los españolitos nos ponéis como hispanos, ¿no?). Snif, estoy mocionao. Pensaba que eramos sólo dos pringaos. Desde Madrid, feliz de que la plaga se extienda... Por cierto, si CDV nos trae el CMBB más tarde a España que al resto de Europa, me cabreo. Mucho.

Either the ISU-152 (Wash... BOOOOM. I love big explosions) or the Elephant (I love big guns, you see a trend here).

That's a classic ! . LOL !

Well, this is a war I won't be happy to replay on a comp... too much at a stake for my country. And the good guys lost...

And thanks to the help of a idiotic pesky Italian dictator and his army, that was intelligent enought to realize they were wasting their time, the USSR had a better chance to survive. The world was saved by Italy, you see. .

OK, sending mail to all my beloved ones... "Blenheim will cease to exists from september 20th to (at least) Christmas. Don't worry. I'll be in heaven for a while". Ostfront, here I coooome......

The Commies. Damm, it's cool to have an army called "The RED Army". T-34.... T-34... IS-2.....

I want CM:IE (Imperial Eagles) badly. You know, Marengo, Austerlitz, Leipzig, Vitoria, Borodino, Arapiles, Wagram.... I want the Imperial Old Guard under my command now!!! I want freakin' Polish Lancers !!! I want to storm La Haye Sainte !!!!

Bagration was a general from the Napoleonic wars, wasn't he?

Argh, I need the name of the attack on Berlin. Please, help.

Well, I know quite a bunch of names, and tons of them are told arround here from time to time; the problem is... I am confussed. I am not able to associate operations to names any more. Mars? Where was it? When? Bagration? Citadel? Uranus? Plez, guys, I need a list of the major ops, just to get things cleared. And above all, one thing that tortures me... What was the name of the final Soviet Offensive to Berlin?

I thought that the Americans did something like this... 1. Advance. 2. Spot Germans. 3. Retreat a bit. 4. Call Artillery, planes and things like that. 5. Hell ensures. 6. Resume advance.

BUMP, as I find this really interesting. Keep talkin'

/Jaw dropps into the floor.... :eek: :eek: :eek: OMG. /Faints....

OMG.... :eek: :eek: :eek: I want to pay... I want to pay NOOOOW.....

OK, you got me. I must install the desert mod and began to make a couple of Paris-Dakar scenarios; one even with a civil war going on somewhere !!!

Wow, Leto... sometimes is hard to remember that bloody battles were fought so near where I live (I am in Madrid, as well). I remember as a child (I was 13 or so) finding a helmet in a trench near the Ebro. It was very rusty, and had a hole... When I realized what that meant, I had to throw it away. It was a Republican helmet, probably (little hammer and sickle on a side)....

The Gamey tournament is a good idea, BTW.... Great AARs will be the norm !!

I also love them.... . BUMP !

Am I the only with awesome Nashorn Skillz? I love this thinguie. I use it more as a mobile gun than anything else, of course, because it is damm weak; but I've had some incredible lucky streaks with them. I've had up to 6 kills with this babies; I think that my opponent was too surprised to react to that weird animal. I had the most absurd hit message with one of them, as well. "Weak penetration Spot, knocked out" against a Hellcat, rear shoot... :confused:

Well, I am confident that BTS will manage to get this right, as always... My take: what we'll probably see in winter 1941 scenarios is that the Germans get an army as chaotic as the Soviet one in summer, 1941. Plenty of system malfunctions, troops that do not behave as we want (just because they're exausted) and plenty of equipment bogging down and falling apart. The Russians will have more or less the same amount of chaos, but well, at least this time they are at tactical skillz parity with the Germans...
