That's too bad CMBO is frozen.. ah well :eek:

Ok, is there any plans to fix these things in CMBO? That would be great... just a hope!

I'd like to know so that I can avoid these tactics as well.. I read earlier you can drive in reverse to avoid getting bogged down so I will not drive in reverse as a means of advancing my vehicles solely for advancement... ie. I'll drive in reverse if I think the enemy is now behind me

Heh, I read about that one on your site General Splatton!

Not really a moment of brilliance, more a moment of luck... in a Chance Encounter (demo) I had artillery coming down, an enemy Sherman was passing through that area... a nearby explosion from the artillery damaged its gun, a few seconds later in the same playback the tank became bogged and the crew then abandoned the vehicle.... that was a bloody Chance Encounter though... 208 casualties for me (Axis) and 179 casualties for the Americans. :eek:

Well, I would probably agree the Rifle squads are historically the most numerous... but they don't fit my playstyle plus right now I've only completed five games and so I am in the "trying out" phase...

One of my opponents recently mis-IDed my Hetzer as an Assault Gun? at first...

What are these ACs I keep hearing about? :confused:

I'd just like to say thanks to anyone who has done a MOD, and I am looking forward to Marder MODS!!!

What are the expected requirements for CMBB and what happened with Tiger?

I agree with Michael Dorosh on these points.... I like coming to the map not knowing what it's gonna look like... I've even wondered about Fog of War extending to terrain you can't see hehe..

Wow, some of Scipio's sounds are great... I admit, those death screams had me smiling! Soem of the mp3s skip though at the beginning.. does that still happen after conversion to wav? I have a PIII 450 Mhz w/ 64 MB Ram and 32 MB video card.... I seem to notice a little slowness on movie files from time to time so I might have to be choosy...

:confused:

Holy, nice low profile on the Hetzer! In one QB I am playing my Hetzer just took out an enemy Sherman IIA ! It missed on the first shot, enemy shot ricocheted at ~ 135 m, and I penetrated through the turret next shot. Seconds later a Panzershreck hit it as well... no crew casualties though, I think. :confused: Also, in a demo game, one American crew just abandoned its tank after spending some time wandering into the area I was dropping artillery hehe Kind of like my Marder III did above...

Wow, thanks for that link!

H-39 Hotchkiss and Marder II? :confused: [ 09-15-2001: Message edited by: Herr Kruger ]

One disadvantage of these Marder IIIs, one of my opponents threw down some artillery and my crew seemed to run, without taking a hit to their Marder III and it was preventing a Sherman from advancing with impunity... Grrr :mad:

Will such artillery affect enemy infantry inside heave buildings and if so, to what degree? Will it inflict appreciable casualties or just rattle them?

Well, in another Quick Battle I have had another success with a Marder III! So far I like them... but yeah, I know about the poor armor on them, and also they do not carry a large payload of ammunition. In the battle I talked about above my one remaining Marder III is pretty much useless as he has no high explosive left The other one was taken out by a PIAT team at about 120 - 160 m. The new succes was this... Turn 2 I had a Marder with a nice narrow field of fire looking down from a hill onto part of the road I suspected my opponent would advance at least one piece or armor... his tank spotted my Marder first.. we both shot and missed, falling short... his next shot streaked by right over the shoulder of my gunner and into the sky, and my Marder hit and penetrated the front turret at 300 + m... yay!

In a Quick Battle I am playing, I had a Marder III stationery near the crest of a hill as an enemy tank was cresting another hill diagonally across the map. I had the good angle and knew that the tank's turret would have to turn before he could shoot... but since I am not very familiar with this game yet I was not sure if I got a "lucky shot" or can expect to get similar results a lot of the time... the result was I knocked out the enemy tank first shot.. it turned out to be a Sherman VC Firefly. Yes, I'm a newbie! lol :eek:

Tread, that was against a human... I don't think I've fared that bad against the AI. :cool:

Thanks for the link... I'll check it out! Anyone else get a headache trying to keep track of what MODs you've applied ? I sure do.. how do you do it?? :eek:

I've only played a couple of games... but in one game of Chance Encounter all my StuGs were gone pretty quick while the Americans did not lose one tank. :mad:

What gift??

Did that "New Player's Guide" ever pan out?
