    It'll be my pleasure to send them out to you as soon as I'm done. I can't do a base mod to save my life, but I'm reasonably good at country specific mods. I've got a set of CMMOS mods based on I think Andrew Foxes jeeps I might send into Manx.

  2. Don't discount the german 37mm AA. It's able to destroy any ally vehicles short of the heavy tanks, and it's more than able to immobilize most of those in one or two rounds. It's rate of fire allows it to rip holes through infantry and supress any other heavy weapons.

    Put it on a halftrack chassis or a Panzer IV chassis and its becomes one of the most fear QB guns. In my opion a Ostwind is a must for the protection of heavy german tanks in combat, not exactly historical but it works. The 37mm is capable of killing all the allied TDs in short order. In the group of CM players I LAN game with the Ostwind is known as the Hellcat Killer.

  3. It's hard to imagine, high explosive rounds destroying overloaded row boats. tongue.gif

    Barton, if you ever see pictures of some of the boats used in the smaller river crossings you'll see they are completely unrealistic to use as Higgins boat replacements in D-day scenerios. All the assault boats are are small canvas or wood sided rowboats.

    It seems the best way to replicate a D-day landing mission is to just start the troops out already on the beach.You can use the unit edit function to set all troops to panic, cautious, weary or what ever state you need to simulate the wade to the beach. To simulated further waves with reinforcements come in with 5% to 15% chance per turn of arrival, to simulate the confusion. Or at least this what I've done and seen done be others to recreate D-day.

    Or we can just lobby BTS to add the Higgins boat in a patch!

  4. The Priest and the Sexton were both outfited with machine guns at the factory, mainly for antiair defense. As for the Hummel, I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a machine gun in Combat Mission. They most likely could have recieved them once in the field, but it doens't seem likely since the were not meant to be used as assualt guns and were assumed to be covered by divisional AA assests.
