Eight days without a post? Can't have that! Let us "secure" an objective together.

Dude, it's nearly 2020 already in Battlefront time scale. You'll get used to it. You just have to un-learn traditional expectations.

Also, you can detach an 'Anti-Tank' team from darn near any infantry squad in the game...

When I was a kid, I wanted a room like that.

Man, it has been a LOOOONG time since I've had to download an incremental patch. Brought a tear to my eye with the nostalgia.

That's one reason I almost always give my opponent the choice on what and how we play. Aside from something like, 'no hedgrows' or 'some nasty weather if you don't mind'. I care about the quality of the game, far more than the outcome.

The enemy cannot discover your covert operation, if you leave no survivors...

We own the night.

I used to just leave the camera on level 3 all the time unless I was recording video. I might just go buy these so I can have a digital copy, even though my original installation disks are sitting right over there in my 'big box of old computer stuff'.

That's happened to me before. Wasted three months on a PBEM before catching it. I'd say the only thing you need to worry about, @Anxel Torrente is the quality and caliber of your opponent.

Sherman tank operators should ingest this wisdom with their corn flakes every morning, and with their tea in the afternoon.

So... What is the dollar value of a human life? Depends on who's answering, I would say. To quote my favorite book: "Men are not potatoes." I did that during my game against @IICptMillerII on 'Atlantic Games' but even shoot and scoot orders with a ten second pause didn't save a Leopard who got nailed by a missile AFTER retreating behind a building. 'Fire and Forget' really does work quite well... I'd recommend nothing longer than a five second pause in position.

He didn't WANT to go into the woods alone, but they gave him no choice...

With the reconnaissance phase over, there is only one thing left to do.

Oh ye of little faith... Hear me now... Battlefront cares about their customers. Okay. Carry on.

I plan as much, or as little as necessary, and I often deviate from my own plan at any reasonable opportunity. Most of the time, my plans are as simple as, "First Platoon will go that way, Second will go that way, and Third will wait here until later." I then fight the battle largely by ear. Some times I will plan an attack all the way down to the level of individual teams, giving each one a specific point to go for, as part of an interlocking fire and movement plan. "This row of buildings is key to allowing further movement, so First and Second Squad will split into teams and occupy them, allowing Third Squad to move across the street onto the objective." But then again, most of the time I simply maintain my intervals, move as suppression allows, focus my firepower where it's needed, and generally I come off rather well by keeping one eye on the clock, the other eye on the distance from my objectives, both ears on the sounds of outgoing and incoming fire, and a third eye on the amounts of critical ammo supplies like 120mm HE, and Javelins. So, in a nutshell, I'm perfectly happy with a detailed plan being provided to me, but I much prefer simply being given an objective and allow me to figure out how I want to accomplish it. Some times I even deliberately ignore objectives given to me by the scenario, because I know I can achieve victory without them. It's fairly difficult to argue with a total enemy surrender.

Indeed. You don't want to give YouTube an excuse to nuke your channel. Even a single infraction will place hard limits on your ability to upload. Almost another week without a post here? Can't have that.

Here's a musical cue to get you through the day:

Sorry, couldn't resist.

First, determine if it is a bug, usually by asking the forum, "Is this normal?" Second, make a video or screenshots showing what it is. Third, attach a save game demonstrating the bug. Fourth, someone important will take notice of it, eventually.

Sherman 75mm has a 'Delay and Effect' ability in real life, perhaps this is modeled in the game to some degree? There are countless anecdotes about either 'skipping' 75mm rounds off the ground, or using a delay fuse to good effect against hard targets.

Let the storm of steel deal with it, and good riddance.

Yes. Thank you.

Well, I tried.
