  1. I played the campaign when CMBN came out so don't recall it. But, you can't do better than Total Victory.

    After that you'd want to be taking less than 10% casualties, (as few as possible of course).

    The problem with CM2 game scoring is that it is very "unstable." Many times when I play a CM2 scenario, I find the difference between a loss and a big victory may be only a few men.

  2. You make a good point that one should make an "support philiosophy" before one starts. I found I was wasting a lot of support ammo by starting on a target with 81mm and then getting heavier and heavier as it seemed like the Taliban were "indestructible" to smaller calibres - even when simply being in trees(!)

    As I mentioned, I had F16's drop big munitions creating two massive holes in a treeline only a couple dozen meters apart... and there was still Taliban left alive between those holes - and they shot two of my Brits in the back as they carefully hunted from one hole to the next!

  3. womble, the LOS issue is also true for FO's and HQ's (and I think snipers) etc. When in the same spot, they can definitely TARGET further than regular troops (all with binocs). Since there is no actual "line of sight" command like there was for CM1, we're talking semantics.

    And like I said, anyone can easily test this for themselves if they care about the issue.
