Man, that AI is a tricky SOB. I desided to try my hand at Urban defence with a short 20 turn QB in a built up town. The Battle was 1500 points. I played as the defending Germans and the AI as the Attacking Americans with their force leaning towards armor.
Normally the Computer doesn't like to buy tanks from some reason. So all I bought for Anti-Armor was 2 Elite Hetzers, One Elite PZ IV/70, a 50mm PAK, and a few Panzerfausts. Cheap, but accurate. It should be able to handle whatever the Americans throw at me, right? Like I said, damn AI tricked me:
10 M4 Shermans of various types
1 M10 TD
2 Half-Tracks
And a piss load of Infantry
I was screwed...or so I though till my little buddy the Hetzer showed up. The PAK and the First Hetzer took a few tanks and inf with them before being knocked out. Then the double team of the PZIV/70 and the second Hetzer started to go to work. Shermans brewed left and right of me. Allied inf ran in fright away from "the tiny terror". With the PZIV/70 watching his back, the little lowly Hetzer racked up this kill score (and lived to tell about it):
32 Inf casutilies
1 destoryed Mortor
6 Destored Shermans
And the Battle result? Total Axis Victory!

Glad it worked out well. As I recall, in the movie, all they had to stop the T-34's with was a single 75mm PAK and some AT magnetic mines.Originally posted by TSword:Nippy, did the movie-scenario and it works beautifully. The only problem is that the T-34 always clump and clog in the beginning turns at the wooden edge. A 300 vs. 1000 pt. scenario
Of course i took 7 T-34/76, quite frightening and intense !
Kilmore: Wrong, if you've watched the movie carefully you would have noticed that there's a scene where a Hauptmann and a normal soldier talk about the war (The two know each other from peacetimes). The soldier says that he hates all the officers for they made it all possible. This clearly includes the Wehrmacht as a whole.
It's certainly no Hollywood-style John Waynee hero-crap, in fact all "heros" die in the end.

"It's certainly no Hollywood-style John Waynee hero-crap, in fact all "heros" die in the end."
As for the movie, two scenes stick out in my mind.
1. The scene at the airfield with the Field police desperatply trying to keep all the wounded at bay with their MP40's
2. Near the start of the movie right after the attack on the factory is finished and the Germans are standing around.
"I s*** my pants! Jesus Christ, I s*** my pants!"
"Join the club..."
I don't think all the characters "died" per-see I beleive one of them joins a long collom of prisioners right after Paulus surrenders. Not that his chances of survival were good mind you, but he didn't die on camera.

"He is almost 6 now and he still calls it the "tank game""
LOL! That's what my 7 year old cousin calls Operation: Flashpoint. When she is bored I use the mission editor and have a bunch of 2 1/2 ton trucks rush a single BMP-1 that she controls as the gunner. She also loves knocking down trees with the T-80.
"Hey Petey! Can we play the army truck game again!?"
I got to make sure that kid doesn't get too girly you know...

"I MUST have movie soundtrack quality music to listen to whilst I am plotting my turns in CMBB!"
Very well, here are some sujestions:
Various songs from all the Medal of Honor games. Music from Frontline can be purchased for $7.00 US from EA.COM. Allied Assault has all the music tracks as Wave files in the installed files on your hard drive.
The Soviet National Anthem sung by the Red Army Choir.
"After Me" - By Saliva
"Elk Hunt" and "Massacre and Canoes" - Last of the Mohicans Soundtrack
"Run for the Stonghold" - Thunderheart Soundtrack
And of course...
The Main theme to "The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly."
hehe...once I get CM:BB I will recreate the above scene with A Finnish, German, And Russian officer.

It came out in the early 1990's. It's no Das Boot, but it beats the hell out of "Enemy at the Gates"

"Tomorrow i will make a scene which was in the new Stalingrad movie, the one where the T-34s attack a single Pak40 and some men, perfectly possible in CMBB...hehe"
Just make sure to use T-34/76's instead of T-34/85's like in the movie.

Why do I get this vision of a single KT and JS-3 facing each other in the middle of an open field with the theme to "The good, the bad, and the ugle" plays in the backgound.Originally posted by 86smopuim:I know what you're thinking. Did he fire forty six shots AP or only forty five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a 128mm PAK Anti-Tank Gun, the most powerful antitank gun in the world, and would blow your turret clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk!

"After Me" - By Saliva

Now either you just made that up, or you're talking about that "Tank" the Germans made by putting the Gun-Sheild of a PAK-36 on top of a captured Polish Tankette.Originally posted by Gud:How about PanzerJager 3,7cm auf SKZ-1 ® ??

"But that goes both ways."
Try telling it to the Grogs:
"What the!? My Uber-Duper German Tiger tank died! I thought German tanks could hold up entire armies, press the attack, cure cancer, bring peace to the middle east, and save little Billy by getting the liver for his liver transplant! This game is nerfed!"

I had something like that happen to me while playing the "Wiltz" senario as the Americans.Originally posted by rum:One time, as i was playing "The Valey of Trouble" as german, i've ordered my mortair to open fire at advancing Sherman. I just wanted to force him to button up. But - after the first shot - the Sherman went huge Kaaabooooom.
I've checked this moment in slowly motion, frame-by-frame, and realized what mortair shell hit directly into the opened hatch. Well, sometimes such things happening...
About half way through the battle the Germans were pressing against the edge of town. I had lost My AT guns, the M-10, and one Sherman. The last remaining Sherman to busy else were on the map.
Suddenly a Hetzer shows up at the edge of town at the start of a turn. In a panic I start planning on how to take it out with my last few Zook teams, when suddenly it blows up for no reason at the end of the turn!
It took me 4 veiwings of the turn to figure out what killed it. I had left an 81mm mortor team hidden at the edge of town. The Hetzer had gotten close enough (about 80m) to panic them and make them fire at it. The only round they fired peirced the side armor of the Hetzer and "brewed" it real good.

The Gamespot preview had a few shots of the SturmTiger IIRC.Originally posted by Scipio:T-44, IS-3, Sturmtiger are in

I beleive there were Cases of PZ-IVs at Tobruk having their turrets blown clean off by Brit 25 Pound Arty peices using HE ammo.Originally posted by panzerwerfer42:The impact of a 150mm class shell is reportedly capable of shearing off any turret. 100 pds moving at 700 m/s from a howitzer is a pretty significant amount of KE.
Speaking of Flying turrets, anyone ever play Steel Beasts. I swear when turrets fly off they go high enough to give God a hug.

An M8 of the 87th Cavalry Reconnaissance Troop destroyed a Tiger tank in the St Vith area during the Bulge by "shooting him up the a**" from close range. You can cross check this by consulting the US Army Armour School paper entitled "The Battle of St Vith 17-23rd December 1944."Originally posted by scribble:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr /> ...killing a Panther A with the maingun of my M8 Greyhound, by a shot in the a** ...
On a slightly different note once when playing Close Combat V I had the rifle armed infantryman 'brew up' a Sherman tank. Last time I played the game as well.</font>

After being labeled "Sub-Human" by the Germans from 41 till 45, plus 50 years of Cold war lies about how their military hardware was junk, I figure the Russians earned some bragging rights.Originally posted by Soddball:Oh, I do so love the propaganda on that site.
It makes Goebbels look amateurish.Of course, that Paragraph from the Russian newspaper spewing out all the stuff about "superiour Russian optics" and such was good for a laugh.
Then again, don't tell me that people on this site don't believe German Propaganda.
"WTF Why didn't my single Tiger Tank stop an entire American Armor Division that was backed up with Air and Artillary support? Everyone knows that German tanks were made from a special Martian Moon metal that made them impervious to damaged and act like that car out of Stephin King's 'Christine'"

Geez, chill out. For a moment there I thought you were going to say that the Lifetime Network had taken over the History channel or something.
"Tonight on Tales of the Vile icky evil gun."
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

It's got everything. Infantry, Artillary, Fighter-Bombers, and lots of heavy Tanks duking it out.
Now if I could just find some detailed plans of Soviet Pack fronts, I'd have a field day with the Mission editor.

Bah, you haven't seen "Grog" until you've talked to scale modelers:
"You idiot! Everyone knows that the Tiger I mounted the HTX47-E2 type shovel!"
"There! I have now modeled every single Tiger Tank ever produced by Nazi Germany during WWII!"
I swear, If I ever see another Panther/Tiger kit again, I'll puke my guts out.

With any luck, 2 man "Scout-Sniper" Teams will be part of the Russian line up of troops.

"I'd sooner drink the tap-water in Tijuana than Vodka."
Sounds like you never had the good stuff. An Uncle of mine traveled to Russia many years ago and brought back a bottle of the good stuff. It wasn't clear, like the crap they sell at your corner liquer store, but more of a hazy brownish white. It may have looked like mud, but it tasted and went down like bottled water.

Nothing wrong with it at all. In fact, I plan on creating more than a few maps in CMBB based of of the heavly forested and mountain filled area I live in.
