Hi Fionn, I accept your reply, is a lot better than I could reply to. All the Best LH

Fionn, Your review is not fair. You knew what you were downloading. I believe the description is very descriptive of what to expect. "Designed so the end result, no matter who wins, is high percentage casualties for both sides, along with carnage and sheer, unadulterated chaos." Whether you are tactically challenged or seeking an avenue to parade your challenging tactics does not matter. If you want to review a scenario keep your personel opinions out of it please.

Hi All, Thanks for the tips. getting used to the target lines is another item I need to study. I hope you don`t think I thought it a bad game at my initial post, but the playing the game inspired me to actually register on this website so sofar I am impressed. See Ya Lata LH

Hello YankeeDog Thanks for the Ettiquette tip. Willco for future posts. Thanks for the help. I did overlook a few of the more technical aspects to the weather and stuff. Maybe I just ran in there and thought everything would work in utopian form. The walking of the artillary is a good idea, I will try it out. O.K. The flamethrower, was an example, but could they not use other troops moving to assist the MG, Mortars etc. I know vehicles can be used. I am not getting at anything, just asking is it possible. I can work around the limitations but would like to be able to use my forces to their most efficient apsect. I do not want to lose any part of my team, when I can use them to help out others. Since I posted this I have downloaded the Strategy guide and will give it a look. Thanks for the help. Will talk to you soon. All the Best LH

SPOILER ALERT "DER BERG" * * * * * * * * SPOILER ALERT "DER BERG" Maybe someone can help me, I am a newbie. I tried the CMBO "DerBerg" mission as the Allied forces. The Germans surrendered after 39 moves, even though my side had more casualties. I think that was because I flanked the mountain, on both sides. Pushed up the middle wasted their Artillary, on my 57mm AT Guns ( These things dont Fire properly). Finished off with a three pronged assault to the top of the hill, while bringing in the 7 tanks they all drove right up to the top, except for one, got bogged down. 1, I dont understand why my 57mm AT Guns were sitting on top of one ridge, and the enemy was sitting on the further slope. I could not get LOS between my guns and theirs. When I viewed at "Trench View" I could see them perfectly. I could not fire? I moved one of the guns down the hill but the artillary took him out before I could test could he fire. Maybe some one could help me there? 2, Everytime I try to suppress a dug in enemy with whatever I have. I want to bring an infantry squad to flank the trench, but they allways run right over it. Sometimes they get it and make a complete fire and manouvre, but they do not use their grenades, at the trench, and nearly half the team gets wiped out. Is there a way to control the actions of the Infantry squads? Are you supposed to use Engineer squads for this type of work? Also can you get someone to help carrying heavy items, to make them move quicker? EG. the US flame thrower came in as a reinforcement, but by the time he got to half way where I had planned for him the Germans had surrendered. Could I have hooked him up with an infantry unit and they would have all shared the load? Am I asking for too much realism here? 3, I understand having to wait 2 to 3 minutes for a heavy mortar co-ord, but when I try to lift and shift, I have to wait another couple of minutes, if the area is not exactly near the older one. Anyone got any hints? Thats all for now, I suppose I will have some more questions at some other points. Thanks in advance All the Best LH [ January 31, 2003, 12:48 PM: Message edited by: thelighthouse ]
