  1. Well, without really turning this into a spoiler, I'll list my basic infantry strategy: 80% shooting 20% moving I try and keep my forces pretty spread out and in cover (as for JasonC's mission, note there's more terrain cover there than you think... damages and all), advancing when I know I'm going to get shot at. Splitting one squad and going for a "pincer" type movement on a known target has a good effect... I usually lose 3-5 guys but the target can't shoot everyone at once, and while the 80% is firing the 20% can come around the flank and do its duty. To be honest I have just started playing missions that are in fairly open terrain... I played CMBO and CMBB and I couldn't stand open missions due to the difficulty of getting infantry across the map. But using a proper recon force (half squads!) and really shooting the hell out of a target once it pops up, I can usually make pretty good advances. Another tip: Think about what works and doesn't work when you are on the DEFENSE, and capitalize on D's weaknesses when you are on the offense. This sounds silly, but it improved my game a lot once I did this. Hope that helps.
  2. "Marijuana?! MARIJUANA?!?! That's not an addiction! Have you ever sucked %! for a CM turn? That's an addiction!" Sorry if that's not too appropriate, but I couldn't help but think of Half-Baked when I read the title... Yet I wholeheartedly agree with the poster's sentiments.
  3. Just did a bit of digging around with Biltaid... I found out that one symptom of whatever bug I'm experiecing that's preventing me from advancing involves the player's favor... if it's above a certain number (at least 5 from my tests so far), then it'll prevent advancing/printing if you load it from a file... this is also the case with custom campaigns; if you start your favor out high enough it'll advance the date but give you no dialogues or new information in the sheet. Argh! I guess I'll just have to try and lose in my campaign, or spend my favor to the point where it's not too high to save and reload later... Any other Biltaid users have this problem?
  4. Biltong or PeterK- Hey guys, again, I'm one of your many devote followers that have taken a liking to your rule sets and programs... but I've looked over the new version (of the rules and Biltaid), and I still need some clarification... On the Biltaid force printout (after a battle where you take casualties)... some forces are depleted and can't be used in battle... but they must be purchased (since they're part of the CO)... what do you do in-battle to those forces once you start up the game? Have them run off the map to represent them not being there? Little confusion. Also, specifically to PeterK- I'm having a nasty bug with the newest version of Biltaid (1.0), where if I load up a saved battle I can't advance or print out the sheet... preventing me from going further. (Running Win2K with the newest Java stuff) Any advice?
  5. Well... I'm 19, and since the average age here is 35... I think we're definately snapping whips. You have no idea how depressing it is to get that "What are you talking about?" quizzical look when I mention CMBB to people my age... over and over and over. Hmmm, actually, maybe you do.
  6. Anybody specifically from Ellensburg WA? It'd be damn cool to run into somebody from CWU on here.... I don't know how popular this game is with the other young whipper-snappers though. Oh... and I had this great epiphany... to keep the message board from being spammed with all the "Is there any (enter geographical location here) players in the house?" messages... somebody with MUCH better HTML/programming knowledge and experience could make a map-like website/interactive image that would display all the local players in a given area... kind of like MapQuest or whatnought. Just an idea.
