As a newbie, I would be totally into idea #1, but I don't know if I would have time for screen shots, etc for #2. That being said, I would definitely follow a thread done by someone else doing #2. At the moment, all I can really do is CMBO (It's the only one that will run on my laptop and I am out and about too much to play the others) Ing

markshot, Thanks. There's still no movies, but this was done extremely well. I don't remember that being the tutorial though.... I'll have to check when I get home. dieseltaylor, that would be awesome if you could send me the movies and point me to the related AAR. Try sending them to geoff_bennet@hotmail.com. You might have to send them one by one. If hotmail doesn't like the size then I'll have to figure out the e-mail address that my ISP gave me (but I don't use).

I am trying to find some walkthrough type tutorials that people have put together (specifically for CMBO and CMBB). I have found several nice write-ups, but most of these do not have movies that you can load up and watch the action. Can someone point me to good after action reports / walkthroughs that people have done up complete with the movies. I found some at www.combatmission.com, but most of these are incomplete, or require a version before the one I have. I would have thought that there would be a central location for stuff like this. Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks, Ingtar

What is the big fuss? I must say that I did quite well at this map. A major victory! Of course I was playing Allies....

Thanks, but what weapons am I looking for to take out these tanks? It sounds like if HMG's won't do the job then rifles, subMG's and such won't do the job either. EDIT - I mean what weapons do I need my in-close infantry to have. [ October 10, 2002, 03:08 PM: Message edited by: Ingtar17 ]

You mean you can disable it with normal infantry if you're up close (ie. you don't need an anti-tank team)?

Well, it's not like ALL I have are HMG's. I just thought that they should be able to take one out. I guess not. I also have a few big guns that have already been knocked out, two anti-tank teams and a few mortars. I am having trouble getting the anti-tank teams close without drawing fire and I am trying the HQ sigting for the mortors with no luck. I think I'll have to move the mortars up to see for themselves. Do you think using mortars is a waste to try to take out the tanks or is it a good tactic? They have 5 tanks! I'm in big trouble.

I have a few HMG's and a few T34 tanks are coming I would like to stop. When I do a LOS on the tanks from the HMG's there is no kill info. Does this mean there is no chance of killing this tank with the HMG's? How do you know if you're wasting your ammo?

Is there anywhere where people's games are posted that I can download? It would be helpful if I saw some other people's PBEM games so I could see how to do things right.

Is there a list of reasonable distances to open up per unit. For example, if I have a rifle squad, am I wasting my ammo if I start shooting when they are 200m away? what about 100m? what about 300m? What is a good distance to start shooting? What about machine guns? and tanks... and anything? Is there a list or something to go by?

When you have an infantry with mortar shells, does he need to actually have LOS with what he is shelling, or can a different unit actually see what he wants to hit, having him thus lobbing the shells over things to hit his target that he can't see? Ing
