Ok, exercise is over and I have the night off from work... time to finish this off.
-
I was wondering how long this would take to be made for CMSF
-
That has got to be one of the 10 worst pages on the Internet.
Okay I let the counter run down and then what? I can't find the stupid link.
And if I try the website using IE it causes an error and IE crashes.

If you have a scenario you would like added please link it below. I'll do my best to keep this updated as well.
A sticky wouldn't hurt either, at least until a scenario forum is created.

In my current battle, the Strength and Faith scenario, I suffered some terrible casualties in the beginning of the battle. As my men pressed forward I had others come up behind them and administer first aid.
I agree that it is a great feature in the game and an added something that makes you care about your pixelated troopers a bit more.
-
I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying my AARs. I do them because when I was first starting out playing CM I found some that really got me interested. Also I think it's a lot of fun to follow along with someone's battle and see how they do things. Also the extra screenshots are never a bad thing.
Well I've done 31 turns now and lost 47 men, 4 T-72s, and 3 BMP-2s. Things are not going well and I doubt they're going to get any better. But I'm going to stick it through to the end.
Time for me to grab a nap before I work all night. I'll update some more tomorrow.
-
No biggie... it's something that BFC should probably look at. At least this thread brought it all up.
-
SPOILER ALERT!!!
Another day... another AAR over at MZO.
This time I am doing the scenario Strength and Faith. I'm only 3 turns in but the bullets are already flying and the artillery is already falling. Please come check it out.
Status: Finished!

Good catch Cameroon!

Looking at the city attack map in the editor I have a theory as to why things did not work correctly.
From the looks of it the map is set up for the red to be the defender. All of the objectives that need to be reached are inside of the red setup area. By playing as the red side, attacking blue I think it confused the AI plan enough that blue didn't know how to set up.
That's just a theory though.
edit: Ok... so much for my theory. I just tried two QB setups... one US attacking Syria and one Uncons attacking Syria... both resulted in the AIs forces sitting in the same corner.
edit 2: Well I just tried a QB on the town map and at least the Syrians weren't crowded into one corner of the map. Of course the AI just set all their troops up outside buildings where they were easier to kill but that's another problem for a different thread.

Well the AI never bothered to set up their units at all so this was a complete waste of time.
Well maybe not a complete waste... people got a couple screenshots to look at out of it. Too bad they weren't very exciting screenshots. I have tomorrow off from work (freak accident by my leadership I'm sure) and will do a scenario or something. That should get at least a bit better results than this.
-
Sorry it's going so slow. I wouldn't have expected to go halfway through a battle without a single shot fired.
-
I've started a second AAR over at MZO. I've just began the setup so feel free to follow along as I get my butt kicked.
-
Jason, what settings did you use?
-
One thing I thought was a great little touch is having first aid being performed on your casualties. It is a nice touch that adds a bit more to the battle. If I take a casualty I usually will either have that unit sit tight and take of its own or bring up another unit to perform first aid.
I'd be curious to know if this does lessen the number of KIAs in a battle. I would assume so.

I am not overclocking at the moment.

Thanks for the reply guys.
One of the big reasons I'm a BFC supporter, superb customer service.
-
Very helpful, thanks.
Now is there any way to set this to a default so I don't have to change the priority every time I want to play CM?
-
Sorry if this was covered previously... I did a very quick search but didn't get results.
Something I'm noticing is that the AI loves to set up infantry outside of buildings. I just did a battle and every single one of their units was either hiding alongside the buildings or on the roof. None of them were on the first or second floor.
Since they were not hiding inside buildings they were far easier to spot and destroy. If they had been set up intelligently at all it would have been a bloodbath for my forces.

The LOS tool has been replaced by the targetting function.
edit: D'oh... reading comprehension... gotta remember not to post less than 5 minutes after waking up.
Good point and something BFC should look into.

Yes I have a nVidia card and I just figured they were ugly patches of land. But it would make more sense that it is a graphics bug.i have them too unregulary and they dont look natural, i think its a graphix bug but never read about it here so far.you have a Nvidia card like me!?

The battle is over...
A big thanks to George Mc for an exciting scenario. It was a meat grinder but I could have played it a lot better than I did. Oh well... live and learn.
