    Novorossisk - Stanichka

    in Combat Mission - Scenario Talk

    Posted

    Just finished playing 'Stanichka' vs the

    AI (+25% troops)and achieved a Minor Victory...

    Another cool Naval Infantry battle...much

    enjoyed...looking forward to more.

    Thanks for your work Renaud.

    BTW, whilst reading Erickson a few months

    back, I noticed a reference to an amphibious

    op carried out on the shores of Ladoga in

    June 42...haven't had time as yet to follow

    it up...but interested in whether the T-40's

    (actually amphibious) had their moment of glory...

    Paloodra!

    (I am assured by David C. Isby that this-

    trans as "Look Out Below!"- is the battle

    cry of the Soviet Naval Infantry...)

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Just finished playing 'Novorossisk_Ozereika'

    Russians vs AI, and really enjoyed it...

    A Minor Defeat for me...took me too long

    to get off the beach...

    Great map with many clever features,

    very well done smile.gif

    Looking forward to the next installment

    Thanks for all your work, Renaud...

    Cheers,

    Soviet Anti-Tank Grenades

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Thanks, Jason...great info.

    I discovered quite by chance that

    one can equip Soviet Tank Hunter

    teams with grenade bundles in the

    Editor...but I'm sure this is common

    knowledge...

    "Rocket propelled" is a post hoc anglo-ization of the existing acronym"

    .....what is the 'R' part? the PG is

    something like 'pekhota grenata' ?

    BTW, I'm in battle #3 of your Hunt Vasilli

    Op...and finding out why it's called that...

    Soviet Anti-Tank Grenades

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Hey all,

    Just re-read V.I Chuikov's "The

    Beginning Of The Road" and was

    intrigued by this statement:

    "Our men treated grenades with

    great respect and gave them pet names:

    they called the 'F-1' grenade 'Fanyusha'

    and the anti-tank grenade 'Tanyusha'."

    What is the AT grenade referred to?

    Not the RPG-2 which CMBB introduces in 1943,

    I guess...

    Would Tank Hunter teams armed with explosives

    (grenade bundle)be any kind of realistic substitute for this weapon?

    Thanks in advance for any info,

    Matt

    -Probably about as long as it takes me

    to reload the page...

    Another "I Smell Nazis" session coming

    your way...

    Was it Hearst who said "the purpose

    of newspapers is not to inform, but

    to alarm"?

    Rude Awakening mission -- Partisans

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Hello Santosdiablo-

    You know how in the QB parameters screen

    the Axis has various Nationalities to

    choose from?

    Well on the Allies side there is a choice

    between 'Soviet' and 'Partisan'.

    Bear in mind that Partisans are not

    available until (I think) September '41...

    and the Region of the USSR may also be

    a factor...pick 'All Combined' if you like...

    There is a mod for Partisans (at CMMODS

    of course) that makes them even funkier...

    Some officers get leather coats, which

    I'm told are hip with the kids today...

    Keyholing...what does it mean?

    in Combat Mission - Tips and Tricks

    Posted

    Hey Ram...

    "Keyholing" is the placing of a

    unit so that it has a fairly narrow

    field of fire....eg an AT gun placed

    to fire thru a gap in buildings or

    trees...or a tank placed among

    buildings...or an HMG firing down a

    ditch...

    The idea is both to set up effective

    ambushes and to restrict how many

    enemy units have LOS to your unit...

    AT guns pin & die awful quick when

    many units can target them...keyholing

    them (and adding MG's to cover approach

    routes) can prolong their lives

    significantly...

    Multiple keyholed units can be set

    up to effectively dominate various

    chunks of the battlefield...

    You probably have been doing this

    all along...it took me personally

    a little while to get out of the

    habit of trying to place AT guns

    to cover as much as possible...

    Once I began to keyhole, I never

    looked back smile.gif

    Carentan for CMAK

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    Just got CMAK (been playing CMBB for

    a few years)and downloaded the CMETO

    mod pack (thanks to all involved)...

    Wanted to revisit some classic CMBO

    Ops like "Drive To Mortain" and

    "Carentan"...could only find a beta

    version of Carentan (by Pud)...

    Can anyone tell me if there is a more

    finished version? And/or if "Drive To

    Mortain" was ever converted to CMAK?

    In addition, if anyone out there wants

    to PBEM any large Normandy Op, I'm good

    for 1-2 turns /day, more on occasion...

    there are 1 or 2 Caen Ops out there that

    look good..

    my email: antman@chilli.net.au

    Cheers,

    Matt

    Spanish Civil War Modification

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Just curious though; if your scenarios

    are designed for CMBB, how come the

    Villalba Op has these forces:

    "Note: German as Nationalist,

    French & British as Republican"

    -Can I play this one with only CMBB?

    If yes, and anyone out there would like

    to PBEM this largish Op (either side is OK)

    drop me an email - I'm good for 1-2 turns/day,

    more on occasion...

    I was just reading some rather thrilling

    stuff about Pz I's and T-26's locked in fierce

    tin-can combat....

    Oh, and can I rename one of my British squads "Orwell" ????
