Family Ties to World War II: A New Poll
__Yossarian0815[jby] replied to Frenchy's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
paternal side: my father was in the US-infantry in the ETO (just managed to get in in 1945). maternal side: my grandfather was a lt. in the Wehrmacht artillery from 1939 to the battle of the bulge, where he was captured by US forces. his three brothers were all captured by the soviets during stalingrad (and survived!). -

SOTW II: Panic at Gela... Spoiler Alert
__Yossarian0815[jby] replied to Shep's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
this one reminds me of "frühlingswind" in the sense that the scenario introduction depicts the battle as desperate american "last stands", when actually the american forces are easily up to the task. -

SOTW... Beda Fomm Spoiler Alert
__Yossarian0815[jby] replied to Shep's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
here is my short AAR: contains spoilers ) played as italian vs. AI. I rushed all my troops except for the tankettes (which i moved to the oasis on the left) up the pimple just behind the rocks (infantry among the rocks). the AI advanced its troops "charge of the light brigade"-style into my amassed tanks. feeling that due to scenario balance mathildas were bound to arrive, i moved up the 75mm autocannones to the front. the mathidas trundled into this trap and were greeted by massive steel mayhem. incredibly I still couldn´t KO a single mathilda, though after the battle i checked and all mathildas had cannon damage and were in panic. 66-34 victory one strange thing i noticed: the autocannone 75mm does not appear to have a setup time and it can even fire while moving! -

Fellow UK'ers - CDV or BFC?
__Yossarian0815[jby] replied to phil stanbridge's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
Is BFC being forced to use a distributor in europe? If it weren´t worth it they wouldn´t do it, right? -
I bought CMAK yesterday (CDV version). my only criticism so far is the whopping 634MB setup.exe. Dunno if this was CDV´s bright idea or BFC´s. I have a reasonably fast computer (AMD XP2800, 512MB DDR). after clicking setup.exe my computer went into deep freeze (DVD drive running at top speed and CPU usage 100%) for something like 8 minutes until it finally managed to start installing. I really wonder what people with less memory/CPU power will do.

spoiler (althogh by now everybody has played this one) . . . . . . . . First try was axis, and ended in a massacre/draw. I tried a long distance tank battle hoping for the effect of better geman targetting and that the green american tank troops would chicken out like their russian counterparts in CMBB. this was not the case. when i played the americans I was able to confirm this. my green sherman crews happily blasted away although they were being targetted and hit by several PzIIIs. my second try as axis ended in total victory, as I remembered to use smoke screens. I also raced forward to take out the grants quickly before the shermans arrived. i then hid my PzIIIs behind the house and waited until the AI made its usual mistake of sending out its tanks piecemeal (out of the orchard). playing the americans is fairly easy and if I hadnt stupidly left my grants out in the open (in stead of hiding them in the orchard with the shermans)a total victory would have been possible.

Nah, MM, there's something amiss w/ 1.02
__Yossarian0815[jby] replied to Hpt. Lisse's topic in Combat Mission - Tech Support
the new VIA-hyperion 4in1 drivers appear to solve the problem. but I still have to play a few games to be absolutely sure. -

"Un-hittable Gun" Game Bug?
__Yossarian0815[jby] replied to RoughRoad's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
had a variation of your problem: the UBER AT-gun I was advancing on a german 75mm AT gun from 2 sides with russian sherman tanks. the AT GUN wasnt pointing at either tank yet, and both my tanks had LOS (range of under 100m). then suddenly it dipped out of LOS for both tanks. next turn it appeared killed one tank, and dipped out of LOS after firing, turned undetected, and appeared again next turn killing the other tank. wish I had taken some screenshots anyway, further on in the game I turned the soviet national anthem on at max volume on my stereo and human-waved the offending AT-gun. -

Totally stupid LOS question
__Yossarian0815[jby] replied to Beckman's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
you can fire into factories with a tank if you put it in front of a gate.
