    Why I Will Not be Playing CMBO...(Large Pictures Inside)

No wonder that the Panther chose the Bren to target, it was the biggest threat with that Piat about to punch its side armor. Then the Sherman comes into view and fires and kills yours Panther. It all seems perfectly logical to me.

    The cover Arc command might have helped you kill the Sherman but the Piat would have had several free shots at the side of your Panther, it most likely wouldn't have survived anyway.

    who cares, let the Nazi scum fry!

It's a photo right out of the CMBB Kursk scenario and the caption says it all....

    Anti tank rifle teams wait for the German advance. A perfect illustration that no matter how bad your job is, someone had one worse....!

    Apparently the PTRD-1941 anti tank rifle was about as good as a pea shooter against MK III's and up, although it had marginal success against I's and II's. This explains the lack of kills many have had using this weapon in the Demo.

    did you mean this one?

    saw someone already posted the pic...

    I'm a little disappointed with the performance of the Red Army conscripts in Yelnia. I hereby request the programmers alter the full version to allow the Soviet player to place MG's behind advancing friendlies and mow them down if they dare to run away from battle (as seen in Enemy at the Gates ), for surely the Red Army can suffer no cowards!

    Set up an MG behind your frontline and area fire where you have cowardly troops. I'm sure that the "friendly fire" will cause a few casualties- thus getting rid of your cowards. ;) </font>

    Normaly I play quick battles and don't have this problem very much, but in scenarios where force composition, placements, and reinforcements can be dictated by the designer such situations can be impossible to avoid.

    The new covered arc comand in CMBB is a godsend, and it alone makes playing CMBB over CMBO a no-brainer for me.

    P.S. Does anyone know a program to get GOOD quality screenshots? In spite of my best efforts, these are sub par.

    Well spoken, Dice and I agree totally.

    For screen shots, I used Paint Shop Pro by Jasc, or something like that and they have a web publishing program which you can also download and use for free for a time...

    I am sure there might be better ones out there. I am not professional screen shot taker or anything...

    Any of your thoughts would be appreciated.

    Good players win games.

    No matter how they are played!

    Yes, good movie and also a good sound track ... I still can remember many dialogs on that one smile.gif

    Also in the Westland but after that line, it sounded more or less like this:

    (Reporter)- Any women and children ?

    (Gunner)- Yes

    (Rep.)- How can you do it ?

    (Gun.)- Just don't aim it so forward ! (it, the heli-cannon)

    (Rep.)- !

    (Gun.)- Isn't war hell ? ahh, hahahaha

    That movie is not a very “real” one, but it had a lot and I mean a lot of “good” lines…<hr></blockquote>

    here it goes:

    Joker: "How can you shoot women and children"

    gunner: "Easy, you just don't lead'em as much"

    Should say straight away that I am not an expert on the subject.

    This is wartime winter uniform of "real" naval infantry. As you can see, it's black.

    On the other hand, there were pretty many naval infantry units actually formed from sailors. Those, iirc, had navy blue (i.e. very dark blue) uniforms.

    This is from a rather recent time - the guy in the middle is naval infantry. Also black.

    However, their modern field uniform is camo, just like anybody else. Like here.

    In Stalingrad at least (probably elsewhere, I don't know) naval infantry was ordered to wear normal infantry uniform. The only naval thing they were allowed to keep was the striped shirt, called "telnyashka". You can see it on the second photo above.

    I think the confusion comes from the dark blue overcoats the Soviet Naval Infantry was wearing during the Sevastopol campaign which I am reading in this book. The author says specifically, that the SNI were dressed in blue-black. He also later says that they had to insulate their bunkers with the "blue overcoats" stripped from dead Soviet "marines".

    I would like to see pics of these guys, in the uniforms they would have been wearing at the time. The pics you posted did not show up.

    I guess if they didn't, it couldprobably be done in a MOD. But I am reading the book "In Deadly Combat" and the author mentions the Soviet Naval Troops which he faced were armed better than the regular Red Army troops they had faced in Poland, and they were better trained.

    Thats a good question. I think it would only manke sense for them to be added.

    I think it would be great if all the uniform varionts from all sides were modeled in the game, but i don'nt think they will have the time to implement them all.

    I would be happy if most were implemented, but i am happy enough about tank platoons, vehicle moral and higher resolution graphics.

    As cool as it would be to have the Marines modeled, i do not beleive that the battle of Sevastapol is within the scope of the game.<hr></blockquote>

    But the game models the eastern front from 41 - 45, right? Sevastopol was fought in late '41 or '42.
