    What are the odds that these are Archers?

    I've seen Fireflies spotted as ''Tank destroyers ?'' with an Archer picture...gun facing forward.

    Very strange, i agree with you MD, logically units should identify Archers easily because of their unique aspect.

    No, it will not work because people would reboot the quick battle generator until they get the choice they seek (the human nature you know...)

    I don't see the need for a cost multiplier at all, as another poster said, who is going to buy one infantry company of any type when it costs 3 times as much as another.
    Nobody, that's why it is called a rarity system, because rare units will not show. Do you suggest here to have simply a rarity level selection like we have an experience level selection in CMBO QBs. But i think people complain now that they would like to mix experience levels in QBs. So BTS is just trying to avoid this limitation.

    I'd suggest the M18 if you have also interest for the Allies vehicules (the skill you don't lack for sure :cool: )

    Great work with that Tiger!

    Tank firing smoke instead of AP

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    My 3 Cromwells IV (75mm)have hunt orders, suddenly on their right, in scaterred trees, a tank appears, identified as Tiger ?.

    Instead of engaging him with their AP shells (they have plenty of them left), as i would have expected, all 3 fire smoke at him ??!

    How to explain such a reaction ? I have good reason to suspect this Tiger? is a damaged PIV ; 2 turn before the same Cromwells engaged 3 PIV at 300m resulting with 2 PIV abandonned and 1 popping smoke...

    Is it because they have short memory and they suspect it is a Tiger and they can't kill him ?

    I'm puzzled...

    Extreme flank puma rush

    in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)

    Posted

    Isn't the Puma a recon vehicule anyway ? So why not using it for recon ? :confused:

    But there is an old-fashioned way to make war, beetween gentlemen ; remember the battle of Fontenoy (1745) where the French commanding officer politely suggested to his British counterpart : redface.gif

    ''Please, shoot first, Messieurs les Anglais''.

    We could adapt them to CM and play the Fontenoy rules : Ok, launch you attack, i will not move and my men are ready to receive you fire ! ;)
