Hi all,
Just created a rather large scenario which features possible engagement ranges of up to 1.8 km. It's not playtested so I don't know exactly how balanced it is, but it should definately challenge the attacker and give the defender plenty of opportunity for interesting defenses.
The basic premise is the Americans are assaulting down a major highway, and the Germans are defending from high ground which overlooks the highway. The Americans have a 2:1 point advantage, but the adventageous terrain should help the Germans.
If you are interested, post here and I'll email it to you. I'll be sending it in open form so you can feel free to reuse the map for any purpose. I don't have time to set it up for play against the AI but I wouldn't mind if someone did that for everyone else.
Edited to let everyone know I have a second map described below. (Rolling hills mechanized ME)

Jason,
You wouldn't happen to know any losses from each encounter? It would be interesting to know how many vehicles each of those actions took out.

First, that blast will have a radius of 866 meters. That means the whole battlefield on most of your smaller QBs. Your spotter better be at least a km away from the target. If you ever saw the movie "Breakout" this bomb would be similar. I would put an estimate of 2000pts or more for one. I'm sure someone here knows more than I do.

Wasn't there a thread last week about some surprise coming soon from BTS? Some people thought it was the DEMO...

I'm a little confused by your reply. I was actually being facetious with staying up all night. I was merely trying to convey the frustration of having upgraded some mods, makes a number of other vehicles now look silly. As to your anti-war comment, I can not agree more.

So I thought to myself, maybe I will give this mod thing a try. Found the Full foliage v2 from DD and thought "that looks nice, but those building look out of place". So I picked up Panzertruppen's buildings. Cool, but what about those tanks? I'm currently playing a winter battle, so I looked around for some snow covered tanks. Found Bergmans M4s and Fernando's German winter tank mods. Then I noticed that Halftrack and Hummel look out of place without snow on them as well... At this rate I'll be up all night just making sure I have all my vehicles snow covered.
By the way, anyone know where I can find a snow covered Hetzer?
-
I've never played him, but I would suggest not being intimidated by him. He does quite a bit of research but that doesn't necessarily translate into brilliant tactical ability. Then again, he may also wipe you off the map quicker than a bird going through a jet engine.

HI MOM!!!
(So, just how many people responding with numbers checks are serious?)

Anytime an enemy goes armor heavy in a setting with lots of cover, concentrate on removing his infantry. It's amazing how well ALL infantry can work against armor forces are forced to attack.
Try this sometime. Defend a town in heavy trees and hills with all allied airborne with NO ARMOR and let the German player go as armor heavy as he wants. Be sure to have enough AT guns and PIATS/Bazookas. Just be sure to arrange your troops in such a way that the german tanks need to come much close for their confort in order to suppport the attack. PIATS are amzing for this type of scenario because of their supperior mobility over AT guns.

Anyone know if a mod manager will be directly incorporated into the CMBB software, rather than the third party stuff?

did you guys figure in the discount for buying divisions instead of companies?

Bad leaders? Already modeled in CMBO. just had a plt HQ run headlong into a strong Ami position. Suicide charge really. Really brave though, ran right past his squards, took heavy fire, lost two men and was pinned, but he continued to crawl towards that enemy! Eventually was shot. The rest of the plt was smart enough to stop... (seems I missed deleting his movement orders)

A cease fire can also be offered by a defender who has successfully replused the attacker. If the defender is unwilling to go on the offensive, and the attack is spent, then why wait around forever for the end? Merely a case where the ceasefire requestor has the superior position, but won't gain much by continuiing the fight.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the interest. It's now become a two for one sale. I just finished a rolling hills map well suited for tank warfare. I then put 6000pt each fully mechanized forces for both British and Heer. Features include no FLAGS and diagonal setup zone.
