Congrats to you, Lille Fiskerby, and to Phantom Captain. Looking forward to getting back to my game machine! Great campaign and great AAR.

Always a great read. Had to go abroad and no game machine here, so have to take a break from my own campaign.

Erwin got a reaction from JM Stuff in Christmas 2022 Scenario Challenge
Yes, JM is correct. Regrettably, CMA was made by Snowball (or somesuch company) and the programmers made things a bit different from the other CM2 products (only CMSF2 IIRC in those days). As a result most CM2 mods do not work in CMA.

Gorgeous.
I love the UFO floating in the sky around 1:56 to the right of the green dome.

I think that is what most experienced players do.

Erwin got a reaction from Probus in Assault, Squad Only
Assault is the shortcut when one cannot be bothered to split a squad into teams. Otherwise one can do assaults with teams but have to give orders to each team separately.
It is odd that 9 man squads can only be split into 2 teams. So if one splits off a 2-man scout team, one is left with an unwieldy 7 man unsplittable team. However, in CMBS the Ukrainian(?) troops are in 7 man squads that can be split into 3 teams: 2-2-3. This is really useful as one can split off the guy with LMG and use the others for assault. If it can be done here why not for all squads in all games? Is it doctrine that all other nations' 7 man teams cannot be split??

FWIW am on 2nd mission. First ended with a Total Victory but with exactly 9 more inf casualties than you. I would say that many were from friendly fire. Tank HE explosions (and even friendly arty HE over 100m from impact). But also from ricochets.
We all know that anything under 50 caliber is not supposed to hurt your men. But, if one pours on a lot of smaller caliber fire on (say) a building that one's own inf are closing in on to assault, the ricochets can and will cause friendly casualties. It's a rather neat feature of CM.
Enjoying 2nd mission. One of my favorite tactics is to use the kubelwagons to send two man scouts quickly far ahead, while the AG's wait safely to see any Russian tanks get located. Once one knows where Russian tanks are situated it is (usually) relatively safe/efficient to use the German AFV's as snipers. Am still cautious in case of ATG's however.

Erwin got a reaction from George MC in CMRT Campaign - Kampfgruppe "von Schroif"
I found that I have versions 1-5 in my camp folder. Are they now completely obsolete and should be deleted?
(Thank you for keeping this camp up to date btw.)
