Were they Conscripts? I had lots of Italians & some Germans surrender in my playtesting of Primosole Bridge, but I kinda expected that. Units that feel they are surrounded and outgunned should start to wonder about discretion/valor type issues. David I

AstroCat, Beautiful will download ASAP. But Where o' Where is an updated 251/9 Stummel? :confused: Winterize too please. DavidI

Sicily 43 - Night An Italian LMG squad opened up on a Brit Platoon doing some damage a short range, then became a Axis sign. I "area" fired a Vickers Machine gun on his position. In the next action phase the Italian takes fire from the Platoon, and from the Vickers and throws up his hands. A Brit Platoon leader (Panicked) crawls right toward his position and the Vickers proceeds to gun down the rest of the surrendering Italians and causes two friendly fire casualties to the Platoon leader. Very Dramatic. Very Sad. Lesson: Watch that area fire!

Modders - How about an updated 251/9 Stummel Half Track? You've updated all the rest and now my Stummel's all look like they are wearing last years fashions. Seriously they look out of place with the other Italian Theater 251's and also need a good winterized mod. DavidI - Hermann Goering

Why, when I am making a scenario in Northern Italy, am I limited to 3 Ground types - Dirt, Arid Rocks & Sand? :confused: Northen Italy is about a lush a place as any in Europe. David

All Good Advice Guys. British Tommy, you should see "Primosole Night July 13" at the Proving Grounds soon. It's alot of Map but it allows for the Airborne Ops, the Fallschirmjager Counter attack, and the attack of the DLI & 4th Armored Bde. Scenario Designing is fairly easy, if you got a good map and OB's to work from (oh yeah and alot of time). David

I am creating my first scenarios. My first series will be around Primosole Bridge in Sicily. I can think of at least three scenarios based on that one map. I have just about completed the area around the bridge, here's my gripe - :mad: Hey how-about some reference numbers :confused: , at least for the 5 X 5 squares so you know where your coming form and where you are going. The area is so big that I had to creat my own refernce numbers from height elevation #s, worked until I built the bridge then chaos. In the next game reference numbers would really help the designers out there. Any agreement out there? David

I know that someone did a very good mod for barbed wire, but I can't seem to find it in CMMODs. Can someone direct me where to find it? :confused:

Renumbered a White painted German Helmet with no insigna to the Hungarians. Worked just fine. So how about just Romanians? David

Thanks Sequoia. So I guess the question is; Modders, how about some winterized Romanians and Hungarians? David

Hey! Where are the Indians? They provided 3 Divisions and an Mech Infantry Brigade in Italy! Thats 2 more Divisions than the New Zealanders and South Africans, 1 more than the Canadians and Poles, and as many as the French! Yet, no Show. What happened? :confused: David

To the Designers of the Next CM: No f.....ing shared BMP's!!!!!!! David

Andrew, I concur with Sequoia. Just Helmets for all three, pleeeeeaaaassss.... David

Modders, How about some Winterized Romanians, Hungarians and Italians? Nothing too fancy. A set of snow dusted helmets would do. If you wanted to go all out snow dusted uniforms would be cool. Almost all these armies wore overcoats, and I know you can't mod that. But helmets with snow on them would be a nice touch. I believe that adding those nice touches are just what you do best.

Locksley, The US Army's "Handbook on German Military Forces" (a pretty goood source for TOE's for 1944 and beyond) puts the TOE for the Panzer Jager Abt in a Volksgrenadier Div to be 9 37mm AA guns, 9 75mm Pak and 14 Self Propelled 75mm Pak. For the self propelled weapons it could be Marders, Stugs, Hetzers or just paper. Nafzinger seems to bear this out. All in all that's it for armor in a VG Div. David

Sgt. Kelly has the right idea. I would rather have CMX2 concern it's self with other things like doing ALL of NW Europe 39 - 45, North Africa 40 - 43, East Front 40 (Finland) - 45, Pacific 37 - 45, and no shared BMPs! All much more important than quibling over a few percentages of WIA/KIA/CIA. With all due respect... David I "Air Force Tank Divisions are the wave of the future!

Before you end your email session ckick on some clear terrain and it will tell you what turn it is. When I have complete a part where I have plotted I write "Scenario Allied plot turn 5" when all I have done is watch the Movie I write "Scenario Action Phase turn 5". If your opponent does the same you won't get confused about what turn your on. I like the way it works.

Did anyone ever mod the effects of weapons firing in CMBO? Particularly tanks and AT guns. The thing I like least about that game is that "air wave" effect as opposed to the smoke and flame bealching from the barrels in CMBB & CMAK. Where do I find it and what is is called?

Beorix, Phil, Puuurrrfect! Absolutely! I can deal with the Officer with two cuff titles (whats better than one of a good thing...). When you go for a walk and you come up to a body of water, does it part or do you mearly walk over it? Thanks a million. David

The Total War games - Rome is coming soon! Century of Warfare - playing an on going Italy Campaign, it's rather long. I've designed two scenarios and upgraded another Any of the Musket era games by HPS. But nothing puts the needle in my arm like CM. David "Air Force tank Divisions are the wave of the future.
