    List of unit costs

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    Hello all, I have an odd favor to ask:

    I'm GM'ing a campaign concieved and born by the evil collusion of Slapdragon and Argie/Ariel.

    The problem I have is that I have to enter the unit names and costs for all the individual squads, teams, weapons, vehicles, armor, arty, etc, and at their varying costs for experience.

    I have the first month for the Russians and the Germans, but have to get the Minors, and all of next months, and the month after that, etc etc.

    I have heard that there was a list that contained some, if not all of this data. Could someone please point me in the right direction to get this, if it exists? It would save an immense amount of time, and add to the game play of the campaign immensely. Thanks!

    Fire on the Mountain

    Hello all, finally got around to this topic:

    Even though I lost, it was a good close game, tearing my hair out and making me do desperate, stupid things.

    However, I think the troop quality might have not allowed him to do this?

    That is exactly what happened. I knew that gerbils have a lot of close range fire power, so I put my greens upstairs to hopefully fire at greater than 80m range and pin your guys coming down the mountain sides.

    I was also confused by the briefing and the discussion on the forum about the supply column- I thought that the reinforcments were going to come in on the road behind Lucio. Boy, what a disaster that came out to be!

    The game to me was one unending sucession of german guns casually knocking out the green french arty and mortars, blithely unaware that the french are trying to hit them in return. I believe that the only reason Holiens guns stopped is becasue they ran out of ammo.

    He rousted me out of Lucio quickly, even with a mounted platoon and a shermie reinforcing. I then pounded Lucio flat with the 155mm, and was trying to get near it at the end.

    Lost one tank and two halftracks trying to get to the germans side of the hill, in order to engage his infantry moving accross open ground. Dang RCLs!

    The Hill was where I lucked out. Apparently a german platoon was rushing up the side of the hill, but my frenchies are too busy soiling there pants to take notice. My air support rolls in though, and no more german platoon.

    The rockets were a minor annoyance, that was all. It did scare me for a second, when my 155 FO, with most of his ammo still intact, took a casualty!

    Thanks, Chris.

    I believe we now have a winner for the tournament. ;)

    Hey, thats how I lost a KEY vehicle in my game against walker! He sent my wife SWISS CHOCOLATE and I got...er...distracted... while doing my turn, and the next thing you know, boom! Game over, man! tongue.gif

    BAH! I think Smoky ought to play vs Walker for the privledge of representing our section! We don't want to just hand it over to the seasoned vets of the other three! Walker kicked butt, and he was kind enough to send me a long detailed message about the final battles (even if I couldn't read it, I am pretty sure it was a long AAR..dang swiss and thier fancy emails...). tongue.gif
