    Gents,

    Quick test which needs refinement: one PzIVF2 on a small island. 150 points. Sharpshooters take out one crewman. Gun then destroys tank. Crew evacuates. 3 of the 4 remaining become casualties. One survivor captured. Points awarded are 179 (14 for capture). Are the captured points part of the total or separate?

    More in a few days...

    Regards,

    Ken

    It's been a few days.

    :cool:

    I ran a test on a regular T-34. The tank was worth 130 points and the crew was worth 12. There is no way that I can tell what the TC is worth since he is not differentiated in any way from the rest of the crew.

    Couldn't you just have a sharpshooter and a tank, keep playing until you kill the TC then end the scenario and see what kind of points he was worth?

    Bailed crews are worth extra. It's a way to reduce the tendency in CM:BO of people using bailed-out crews as expendable scouts for their main force.

    That was one of my brother's favorite tactics.

    He justified it by saying they were doing what they could for their country, which was getting gunned down by an MG-34...

    I tried to tell him, those are valuable guys, but he didn't care, he was a right gamey bastard.

    Now, I will throw out a bone... CMx2's first release will not be set in Iraq. Not that we feel it would be an uninteresting setting (quite the opposite), but because it is too current. Very tough to make game decisions while history is still being written.

    The thought crossed my mind when I first read this thread, seems to hit too close to home to make a game out of it, IMHO.

    Especially one as "realistic" as I am sure yours will be.

    Anyways, as I said in another thread, please feel free to set the first release in the Civil War. Antietam would be fine place to start...

    ;)

  5. Interesting. Maybe the reson why they are going to focus on "smaller" campaigns like Normandy as opposed to entire fronts and years of time is because of the possibility of an operational component?

    The speculation drives me crazy!

    What's the current community estimate for release?

    (and don't anyone say 'when it's ready')
