oooooo...[drools on keyboard]

Sharpsooters in CM are effective only against open vehicles or un-buttoned vehicles. (the maual says so) The 37mm flak does have a visible person outside of the vehicle, but from what I have seen the crew seems to be enclosed within the vehicle for targeting purposes (in other words it is constantly buttoned)

I have to share an experience I recently had in a QB. I had given the order to 4 M3A1 HTs to move a rifle platoon through scattered woods , hoping that I would be able to sneak up and flank the AI, which was cowering in a small village. Then an artillery round (unknown caliber, but this was a 800pt battle) explodes harmlessly near the HTs. Though I was angered that I had been spotted, I wasn't too concerned since my HTs were already on the move. The second artillery round landed in the center of my HT formation, abut 2m from the closest HT. That SINGLE ROUND knocked out 3 of the HTs and caused about 30 causalities to the squads and crew in the vehicles. I have seen artillery do amazing things, but never before had I seen one shot do so much damage. I must have watched the replay 30 times. Needless to say, I lost that battle, and there were only 3 survivors from the HTs when the artillery barrage ended. Has anyone had an experience like that?

thank you, and I apologize for asking a stupid question

Recently I have started to use subdued grass mods, especially DDs grass. Just when I thought I got rid of that ugly green, I noticed that the grass in the "off the map" area is still bright green. Is that background area a separate file? Or am I destined to live with traffic-light green forever?
