Excatly Sturm. Ive seen Hummels abandoned after a 105 arty round landed 40m away! Mortars scare them off too easy as well. An IG with a command bonus is a lot harder to knock in my experience.

If the person doing the finger pointing was someone who does not seem to have the respect of the board then I would not listen to them. Would you listen to me for example? I doubt it. That is why I listen to the board vets when it comes to these sort of things, and heed their advice when it comes to dodgey players. I applaud them when they tell us not to bother playing with someone that does not play nice as my time is as valuable as the next guy's. Note that in my first post I said I recently had a bad experience with TH ladder player in the top 5, yet I did not name them. I know when discretion should be used. Everyone should also realise that as any game gets more popular, the grief player numbers go way up. That is the only thing sperating CMBO from CS. If CM was as wildly popular as CS, you would see the same griefer idiots pollute this community too. I can tell you this is a fact as I have owned and run quake and CS servers in the past. I have seen good clean fun games that very few people played destroyed by idiots as it became popular. I'd rather not see the same happen here. If it did you would see cheats that crack PBEM files so you can see your opponents forces in no time. I know I dont want that. No d00dz.

If you dont think griefers should be outed, go and play a game where they are everywhere and see how much fun that is. Counterstike anyone?

I also like to slip a 150 in there on occasion. Stick it in a spot that has a view to the objective(s). Very handy at removing anyone that gets in the way, and reacts faster than arty. I like to put the gun where it will support the last objective I plan to attack, by then the defenders have used up all their armour and arty so the 150 gets to really work the defenders with no reply. Hummels sh*t themselves as soon as a sparrow farts near them.... not reliable at all and cannot be hidden like a gun.

I applaud you Mr D for naming the whiner. The only way to deal with griefers is to tell them to shove off and make sure everyone knows to look out for em. Good work.

He a whinger. If you dont tell us who he is and he rigs my match then he sooks about it and runs, how are we to know if it is the same person? Also note I doubt age and experience count for anything when it comes to whinging... I was "a f*ck" and told to "f*ck off" a number of times by a t-house top 5 player just last week, simply because I had not chosen a conventional force, and he did not like it... Cheers

Do a test. Make a platoon, put the 3 squads in a line with 20m or so between each. Place the Lt between the 1st and 2nd squad. Now place your captain really close to the 3rd squad, closer to the squad than the Lt is. You will see the red c&c line for the 3rd squad goes to the cap. Lts cannot take over squads from other Pns, but they can command support weps including . Caps can command anything.

You know your mortars have locked in indirect fire when the target line is brown, not red. If it is red line and the target is not visible to the mortar, they wont fire.

The captain will also take over a unit if he is closer to any unit than the Lt. Sometimes the Cap makes an awesome assault leader when the Lt's have no bonuses, put those crap leaders in the rear with your support assets and have the captain take a Pn or 2 into battle instead.

When using ATG's I like to a) put them in deep positions that cover your infantry put smaller ATG's in positions that will offer flank shots c) if possible, put them in C&C of an officer, they dont break nearly as quick when they are d) let your opponent think the way is clear so he brings more assets into your kill zone, wait as long as you dare before opening fire with your ATG's. Use inf / light armour as bait to draw out his heavy armour into your kill zones. When using AT inf, I like to a) keep them in cover as long as possible - as stated above the tacai is very good at spotting your AT gear keep your zook/piat/shreck in C&C so he may respond rapidly to new threats c) keep your AT asset as close as possible to your front without exposing them so enemy armour is in range d) do your best to keep them alive at all times e) try and attack armour with multiple AT inf when they do engage - this increases the chance of the target being king hit without ever knowing where you shot from.

Interesting. So the size of the ammo round, ie 76mm, will not translate into a hole of the same size in the armour? Do bits of it get sprayed off as it penetrates? Uber

that thing has in impressive collection of holes in it. Can anyone tell what sort of guns would have caused them? Uber

bwahahahahaha! go for it mum "good luck it wont work!" bwahahahahaha! nice work mum and happy birthday stix

Leeo, you are too kind. I just cant make it sound right when I read it back... but you get the picture Who's up for the Gamey-Nation-Tourney?

This calls for a new tourney - a challenge to push gameyness to new heights. 2000pt QB's, players may pick anything, from any nationality. The AAR's would be gold, pure gold!

im timing out trying to reach that site from oz, can anybody post the article here please?

Did either side play around with faked arty sounds to throw off enemy CB?

Now there is a tank that would FUN to operate!!!!

Hey all, since I'm a fill-in I thought I'd let you know how I am going. I have all but 1 game under way. The other 4 are pushing along quite well. I believe I can get all finished by Mar 1, assuming I can hook up with my opponent I have not started with in an IP game. Fun!

I'd like to see different bridges with different have max weight limits on them so they collapse if you put too much gear on them at once.

It might be possible if the crew is being showered with armour flaking - that would dampen your enthusiasm pretty quick if you were green. Dunno if that is being put in cmbb tho

never mind [ February 12, 2002, 02:14 AM: Message edited by: Sir Uber General ]

Agreed! flight games came of age when secret weapons OTL came out... and it was made by Lucas Arts wasn't it? reminiscing Uber General

Hmm that is a bummer, you should really be burning all your spotters ammo if you cant see target

Hi guys, thanks for having me Uber
