    Small Arms of WW2

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Yeah books are the way to go...

    I've got one here called "Infantry weapons of WWII"

    Lots of info, goes in to AT guns, Hand Grenades, Mortars etc as well.

    If you can find a reasonable second hand book store in your area it's amazing what you can find...

    I'm still looking for a copy of the Rommel Papers to pop up ;)

    Mods! Mods! Mods! Whats the best?

    Give the guy a break! Damn!!!

    Welcome aboard Volker.

    There are so many mods out there it's hard to say which are the "best". It's all a matter of taste.

    Mods are simply new .bmp's that over write the games originals with the new graphic.

    I suggest that you just search through some of these sites and see what is available. Start d/ling and installing them. Open up CM and see what you like/dislike, simply go looking for new and better mods, it's an on going process.

    Also BTS did not ship winter textures for ALL items but the modders soon worked out how to do that. So you can d/l things like "Winterised stone walls" with snow etc and they will only show up in the "Winter scenarios" etc...

    I would suggest you check out these sites for mods.

    Cmbat Mission HQ

    Has lots of mods, the MDMP (Mad Dog Mod Packs) located on the 5th link down the left hand side has LOTS of mods all in one and may be a good place to start.

    Toms Combat Mission HQ

    Displays the mods on his site extremely well and is a pleasure to navigate and browse through.

    Der Kessel

    Also has some very nice mods.

    This should keep you going for a while but there is no end to the moding of CM ;)

    If you need help with anything don't be afraid to ask.

No effect on officer spotter or hidden MG in guest bedroom.

    Mortar in back yard gets Kayoed, crew ok but crawls under picnic table. Should I have closed the blinds?

    Taking out AT Pillboxes

    With multiple Shermans it's not hard to take it out, even at long range. The AI does a trick I haven't been able to get my tanks to do, though. The tank will move up, fire once, then move back out of LOS to reload, usually putting smoke right in front of itself.

    This is most likely the TAC AI pulling back the tank and should work the same for you as it does for the AI.

    Try giving your tank orders to "move" to a hull down position but in LOS of the pill box, and a reverse order down from the hull down position.

    Normally he will have just enough time to get a shot off before he reverse back out of LOS.
