  1. Can't believe I failed to change the title.  Doh!

     

    Yup Il-2 1946 is still great.

    BEFORE you re-install check out BAT:

    ...2nd section down.

    Sure it's A LOT to install from a volume perspective but pretty straightforward and it provides a TON of new content (planes, ships, maps) and enhanced features.

    Highly recommended.

    ...I did know the historical outcome was very dependent on keeping up the speed and taking advantage of surprise.

    Very true and Peiper was following his orders and counting on the preparatory barrage and the attack of a FJ regiment to clear the US thinly held front line forces away so he could commit his KG as the exploitation force.  Unfortunately for the Germans, a well positioned I/R platoon coupled with an unimaginative frontal attack by the FJ troops gummed up the works and put Peiper's forces behind schedule by a day.

    So...you may not have had much historical information but you did indeed have the salient points in mind; speed & surprise.   Peiper knew this as well but stuck to his orders on day 1 and the rest is history.

  3. TY for the info. Rinaldi.  Good stuff.  I wonder if the 3rd Army ADs would have been so successful during the Arracourt battles if Hitler had devoted the Pz Brigade resources to refitting the 11th Panzer, 21st Panzer and the 17th SS PG divisions.  The decision to form these brand new armor heavy formations made little sense when veteran formations were allowed to wither.

  4. TY but have an issue w/ this part:

     

    2.  CMRT Windows customers need to re-license their original key.  This is a result of improvements to the licensing system which CMBN, CMBS, and CMFB are already using.  To do this launch CMRT with the Upgrade and the first time enter your Engine 4 key.  Exit and then use the "Activate New Products" shortcut in your CMRT folder, then enter your Engine 3 license key.  That should do the trick.

    So, what do you do if you don't have your Engine 3 license key?
