this look alright for a desert town?

Looks much better. If you want, you can email it to me and I'll have a closer look. -
this look alright for a desert town?
Soddball replied to The_Enigma's topic in Combat Mission - Scenario Talk
It's certainly coming on, but I have a point to raise about what looks like the wooden fence you've put in. You're in the desert. One of the things the desert is notable for is its shortage of trees. Those trees that are around are unlikely to be used for fences when more important needs such as roofs or firewood have to be met. You might consider using stone walls instead. One possibility you might look at is placing a set of parallel stone walls as a road substitute. The walls create an outline for a road. The station could be changed so that instead of three large heavy buildings you have a single heavy building right next to the railway line, flanked by pavement. At the moment you're portraying a station 180ft long by 60ft wide - a building that's much too large for a tiny town like that. 'Depression' has two 's'. I might seem critical, but I'm just trying to offer some hints. It's a good effort and you should keep at it. -
What artillery is best for trenches?
Soddball replied to securityguard's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
British 3" mortars are pretty good. -
Meeting Engagements vs Soviet SMG teams
Soddball replied to RAM's topic in Combat Mission - Tips and Tricks
RAM - sounds like you need to find a player who doesn't just buy SMG infantry. You might also be better off playing balanced scenarios. -
Not all the Shermans were petrol, and what do you define as 'comparable'? Which units are you comparing? Do you consider the T-34's 2-man turret to be 'comparable'? What about the minor point that few early T34s had radios? I can't wait to try a British/American vs Russian matchup in CMx2.

If only this vehicle could be in the game

Suppress them? I reckon it'll fry the crap out of them. -

Game/Sim Mechanics in CMAK vs CMBB?
Soddball replied to Canuckgd's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
Almost no changes between the two for controls and gameplay. If you can play CM:BB, you can play CM:AK. -

I'm sort of back. I'll git your turn out shortly.

I'll either build the scenario, or play against you doing an AAR on a scenario someone else builds. Instead of an AAR, shouldn't it be called GARGHGRRARR?

IIRC the 2" mortar was still in use in the 1980s - so it can't have been that useless. It's a platoon-based weapon that can keep up with infantry and can drop a dozen HE rounds on a dug-in machine gun. IMO, that makes it very handy.

Yeah, right. The last thing we need is some piss-streaked Angry Wannabe mewling like a cat with its tail stuck in the catflap. Back to your Peng friends, you shrivelled scrotum, and tell them that you're too much of a girly-man for the TNT chucking of MasterGoodale's Thread of Cheery Waffle. You probably have some poetry to recite together, or some ironing to do. Speaking of the GrandMaster Jewel-Encrusted TNT Chucker, has anyone seen him around of late?
