    A Question of Force Selection

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    I think that tanks are to fragile in my hands. My infantry usually does better, because infantry is more robust than tanks.

    I think In CMAK infantry heavy forces do better than tank heavy on most maps.Those tips on onboard mortars are good. You also could have bought one cheap mortar FO more and lay smoke perhaps to cover your approach.

    All Quiet On The Patch Front

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    Ummm,

    I own all of the CM series ( CMBO and CMBB double ),

    so, obviuosly I really like this game. CMAK plays just fine for me in its 1.01 incarnation.

    Yeah, there are some small issues that need to be adressed, but those are no showstoppers ( IMHO ).

    Seeing Battlefronts excellent support; I have confidence that they will deliver on the patch, when its ready.

    And saying " I´m waiting for CM2 and dont play CMAK anymore, because CMAK is old technology " I dont really understand.

    Since CM** I bought only three or four new games, and inspite of this newer games, 80 % of my time go into CMAK or CMBB.

    Nothing compares to CM** .

    Damn, I´m a fanboy :D

    Or

    Assuming that the spring is linear, is drawn back about 0.2m and that 883N is the final force, the energy stored is 0.5*0.2*883=88.3J

    Kinetic energy is 1/2*m*v^2 where m is 1.35

    => (88.3*2/1.35)^0.5 = 5.7m/s initial velocity

    Man, I just love this board ... :D

    You guys are a cornucopia of unexpected facts ...

    Holy Shiite!

    You mean you are still on turn 1 of Vevi? If so, you two need to get cranking, as you have only 51 days to finish 45 turns. Remember, it takes 3 e-mail exchanges to complete one turn. </font>

    WW2 AFV Book Recommendations?

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    Hi btm,

    I have, and highly suggest, the following books :

    Chamberlain & Doyle

    Encyclopedia of german tanks of world war two

    and

    British and american tanks of world war two

    Both have LOTS of pictures and are true references, IMHO. You get one or more picture per vehicle, and the technical details. And both cover the HT´s and SPG´s .

    I have ,from Tim Bean and Will Fowler, Russian tanks of world war II ( Stalins armored fist ).

    Only tanks are mentioned, but it starts with the first russian tankengagements ever, sumthing around 1919 and leads from there to 1945 and parts of the early 1950´s .

    I like both.
