From the movie the Longest Day, Robert Mitchum, a general, asks "Where are the engineers?" Eddie Albert replies "They're all around you, they just don't have any equipment." Actually, from your post, it seems the 5 men of the demolition team ARE the engineers, which would mean they were dispursed amoung the boats.

Possible to play US vs USSR?
General Bolt replied to Bannon DC's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
I remember seeing a T34/100 in the AH Arab Israeli Wars game. It was in the 1956 battles. T34/100 model I don't know when it was actually fielded. -
I really like the split squad thing on the route/break. Great idear. The "cover behind/follow vehicles" is also a good thing. In my first few battles of CM, I lost more thar a few squads "hiding" behind the imaginary point in space that is an AFV.

What to do with captives
General Bolt replied to Blue Streak's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
You didn't try hard enough. To kill them, order a friendly do an area fire nearby, then move the POWs into the LOF. I use abondoned crews or out of ammo guys to do the guarding. -
Elit units?
General Bolt replied to Chris G's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
I understand now "not at this scale." I said I was a rook at this game. -
Elit units?
General Bolt replied to Chris G's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
First of all I've only recently played the SC1 demo and I'm holding out for SC2. Put me down as a rookie to the -5 degree. Chris was asking if you could buy high morale troops. The Hilter Yute division was green when sent to Normandy, but they battled the Brits around Caen with a high level of morales. The 101AB was untested proir to D-DAy and its record was outstanding also. From that I'd assume not all morale comes from exeriance. I will say these are probably two extreme examples. Seems like you should be able to buy scuh a unit but at a very high trainng cost. HY was in training for since they were 8 years old. -
My problem with Combat Mission
General Bolt replied to Wodin's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Six times is about right for me. Its the building walls that get in the way when trying to view a street fight. The game has "HELP" Hotkey functions built in: 1. Hit the TAB key to lock the view of the selected unit. 2. Turn the trees off as necessary. This is a major anti-grog cheating technique but who cares. 3. Use the 6 point of view with the "[" to zoom. 4. In view 1 use the plus + and minus keys to cycle thru all the units. Hit TAB often. E. Use the Shift-C command to grow the unit size to very big. 6. Shift A to +20 degrees helps alot. You don't want to do that, stick with the CM series. -
Rommel's Solution for Russian Front
General Bolt replied to Elefant's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Sounds like Rommel wanted to do what the Russians did at Kursk to defeat Citadel. Have you designed the scenario yet? -
Battle of Crete the 2nd day (?) The Germans were landing JU-52s while the NewZealanders were still over looking at the runway. I figured a scenario where trucks appeared as reinforcements in full view of the allies could represent this. The first turn of arrivial the German must give them a "FAST" command to the end of the runway. The surviving soldiers were rushed directly in to the line. This hasn't been done but it would be cool.

The weakest part of my game is the SETUP. Every game I seem to have a gun out of position. My spotters are either too far foward (and die) or two far back and can't see squat. I move them forward and they die. On offense my infantry is facing the strongest of the MLR. On defense I'm always out flanked. What's the problem here?

On Map Artillery Farce, Yes Farce
General Bolt replied to sand digger's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
I think every one would agree a little ammo conservation would be nice when calling in arty. Something like "Give me 30 rounds" Not to many requests come in like this "Give me all you got in the next 45 seconds and the troops will fend for themselves for the rest of the fire fight" -
I never do replays - even against the computer. To paraphrase Tom Hanks saying "There is no crying in baseball" ; "There are no goes overs in war". Why would I want to do a "goes-over" when there are 1700+ scenarios at the Depot? I guess not doing replays probably prevents me from really learning the game. My loss.

downloading multiple txt files from yahoo
General Bolt replied to Sivodsi's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
Just above the text listing there is a little blue link "Download File". But that works for 1 file per message. Have your sender split the files between two messages. [ December 02, 2004, 06:27 AM: Message edited by: General Colt ] -

Sanitation in the African campaign
General Bolt replied to jtcm's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
The old "World at War" series (1970s) talked about the flies. The platoons had fly swatting contests. They would burn the heaps of flys killed. The stench of burning fly corpses was unbearable. Patch 1.05 will include a stench factor.
