Ha, well there I go making an idiot out of myself....CMFB has been on my HDD since release. And I was googling around to find it. Will have a look, thanks!
-
Call me stupid, but where would I be able to get my hands on this scenario? Thanks!
-
Same here with work ip. I tunnel home for access....
-
Unfortunately no game save. It happened in the first battle of the campaign if that is of any use....

Just now, rocketman said:
That would be the "Courage Conquers" campaign that we now have three instances for. Was your problem prior to the 1.02 patch? I wonder if it is scenario inherent (script?) or game inherent (bigger problem to solve?).
I would think after I installed patch 1.02. I was tempted to fire at the team in the end to get them to move ;-)

I have seen this in a campaign (can't recall the name, but I think it was one of the bundled ones where Patton's forces had to fight towards Bastogne). I dismounted a US 2 men MG team from an HT and they spent the rest of the battle sitting it out in the snow. I'll check if I have a save somewhere tonight, but probably cleaned those I had.

*** SPOILERS ***
Playing as the Germans I managed to squeeze out a minor victory. Splitting forces worked ok although bogging, mines, US air attacks and excellent keyhole positions took out the better part of my forces. Progress was agonizingly slow, completely bogging down on the small open clearing south west of the chruch where it turned into a Panther workshops of broken down equipment, and mangled crews. Had to slug through the farm complex and forrests on the north side of town to get anything going.
Very well done to the scenario designer!

Thanks for the write up. Good to see how dawn circumstances affected the battle. Will try to remember that one.....

Might've been a jumbo, can't recall precisely. 'Chaos at Ferme de Eidenhove' mission in CMFB. Which is, truly, chaos. [Slight spoiler ahead?] All kinds of tanks and TD's and other armor everywhere. Minefields. Mortars and rockets. A nasty enemy dug into the forest. Immobilizations no matter how hard you try to avoid the mud. Insane spotting issues, due to the nature of some slopes. Very cool scenario as you go deep into it.
Nuts!
Driving me crazy.

I think I remember reading one of Harry Yeide's books years ago where it said that in the Overlord time frame tank -> infantry communication was basically non-existant. During the last months of 1944 however (platoon commander-)tanks were being equipped with infantry radio sets to overcome that. So around the time of the Ardennes it wouldn't be out of the ordinary I suppose that there was proper tank -> infantry radio communication.

Nope. Unknown soldier is 1941-1944 "Continuation War" depiction. Two movies: 1955 and 1985 versions have been made and third is should to be ready in 2017. English translation of the book is unfortunately quite poorly made.
There is another classic simply named "The Winter War" with book, movie and miniseries:
....
Thanks, going to watch that!

Apologies - delay due to me being under the weather.
C3K will claim that as his doing....
Thanks for another entertaining AAR!

Oh god oh god, I'm chortling (neigh, near-drowning!) into my coffee cup at work over this....
Thanks c3k for some most amusing narration!
Noting to add

Much appreciated, I enjoyed your efforts over the past month or so!
-
Beautiful work! can't wait for the end-game turns!
-
Thanks for another great read Bil! Looking forward to see how it plays out and also to see more of the game itself!
-
Thanks Baneman, really enjoyable to read and good result there! Already prepping my significant other that a new game is looming. She cringed a bit but I firmly stood my ground....sort of....
-
Nice, thanks for sharing!
-
I checked to see if I could choose a green color scheme. I couldn't find it quickly. Anyone any ideas if that is possible?
Edit : Nevermind, it's answered already : http://community.battlefront.com/topic/117100-nice-new-forum/
Thanks!

Done! Thanks for the work!
Now to find some time to actually play and mod the games ;-)

Thanks Bil, good read!

I follow Rosie's WWII Twitter feed (https://twitter.com/RosiesWWII) and she posted (parts of) the handbook from the 1st post.

Thanks for the excellent AAR. Very well done to both!

A colleague of mine brought CM:BO to my attention late 2001 if I would have to guess. Played all instalments since although I do not have the time anymore for anything near regular play. Congrats on the milestone and thanks for letting me waist countless hours on it!
