noob

Nice one, you are signed up , do you have the John Tiller Normandy 44 game or are you just wanting to be a player and not the Team Commander ? Also what sort of turn rate could you manage when you get to fight a CMBN battle ? At some point im going to need your e mail address and also as the CMBN files could be pretty big i would like you to checkout File Convoy as i use that to send 40 meg plus CMSF PBEM files, one thing about File Convoy however is that it creates a RAR file that cannot be opened in the traditional way so you need to rename the file as an .ema file before you can load it into CM. If you have a better way of sending mega PBEM files tell me because i want to adopt a standard programme to move them around. Do you have a preference to which side you want to play ? Dont bother with maps if you not conversant with making them, hopefully someone else will come up with the beach maps im after, the other maps for the inland game will be used from the QB and scenario cache that come with CMBN.

Hmmm, i cant edit my post for some reason so im replying to myself I would like the operation to start with a batch of CMBN battles depicting the beach assaults on the Axis fortifications at Omaha and i read on a thread that BFC will not be putting any beach maps in with the game so i will need some mapmakers to build some beach maps with fortifiications relatively quickly, even if i have only one i can still use it for all the beach assault CMBN battles as this stage in the operation is just a fun intoroduction as it will be a relative formality to break the Axis defences and then comes the meat of the operation which will be the inland push. If any mapmakers could help me i'd be most gratefull

After i saw this thread i decided to post the link to my site sooner than later to see if anyone on this thread would be interested in taking part, there are some more rules i have to cover but the bulk of the work is done, however i need the CMBN game that i have pre ordered to finalise the OOBs of the respective sides so im hoping to start the operation in May or no later than June depending on the release of CMBN. https://sites.google.com/site/cmbnomahatostlo/ Above is a link to my website containg explaining the concept and the rules. Once i have finalised the OOBs i will put them on two seperate websites for each side.

I was going to wait a bit until i had this finished but after reading some posts which were basically the same idea as the operation i am going to run when CMBN comes out i thought it might be a good idea to post it now then the people that were discussing it or anyone else in the community can give me some feedback and sign up to it if they want to take part. https://sites.google.com/site/cmbnomahatostlo/ Above is the link to my website explaining the concept and the rules, i have nearly finished the rules but i need the CMBN game to finalise the OOBs which will be on two seperate websites for each side. I will be looking to start the operation sometime in May or no later then June depending on the release of CMBN. However i've tried to make the rules as simple as possible to allow anyone to run this as an Admin so any voyeuristic bookeepers out there by all means use them

Thank you, a scan of the book you mentioned would be most helpfull

This site is excellent. http://ww2drawings.jexiste.fr/index.htm

Yes, and even better would be captured French tanks, then the modders could get to work making Battle of France units

Thank you for your quick response

Thanks Could you also confirm the latest date this first game has to be completed ?

That was very traumatic to watch as some best friends are made from plastic.

I need the Red briefing translated into English so e mail or PM it to me please.....tournament nickname is mash.

As others have mentioned it was not exactly what i was looking for but i'm glad you posted it is something i needed also Looks like i will have to wait until i have the game to get the exact numbers, which is fine, thanks for all the responses.

Does anyone know the numerical breakdown of a standard US and German Infantry Battalion in CMBN ? Or is it basically going to be exactly the same as in CMAK and CMBO ?

I'm assuming the "others" are the people that DONT have CM:A

Will they work the same as CMx1, points for only well ordered units, or to put it another way, will the game know whose routed and who isnt ?

Actually i should of worded it different, im talking about exit zones like the ones in CMx1 so im going to chang ethe thread ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezeBFL8aqag I just watched this on YouTube and im stunned, i thought i'd seen every film clip going about WW2 but this compilation is just outstanding !!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezeBFL8aqag I thought i had seen all there was to see as regards colour film from WW2 but this compilation is stunning !!!

I've said it all in the title

Is the CMBN scenario editor going to be exactly the same as the one in CMSF, i.e. the same parameters for Experience, Motivation, Fitness, etc or are their going to be additions or changes to how you can affect the units.

Hi Rake, i sent you a private message in relation to your comments about Omaha and St Lo mapping, did you get it ?

Lol.....thanks for the info, im relatively new to the modern theatre as you can see

Charlie Parker doesnt need a tripod to play the sax and neither do you to play the Saxhorn so get rid of it.....why ? because whatever accuracy and stability you gain from using it is undermined by the fact that it takes 20 seconds to pack up before evacuation is possible, which gives ample time for Blue to lock on and kill it once it has revealed itself through firing. To avoid this put a small target arc on the unit to stop it firing then move it into place if it isn't already, once a target has been allocated give it a FAST move order with a 10 second pause, that way it has 10 seconds to shoot before it evacuates and because it has no tripod it has suffers no delay allowing it to survive to shoot again from a different location. I think the Metis also allows for shoulder firing but as for the rest of the ATGM family i am not sure so if anyone could list the all the shoulder firing types i would be grateful as it will save me trying to locate them in the editor to test

Do you want to play it H2H, if so pick a side and send me the file

Well at the moment my ATGMs are dead before they expend their ammo, which is more my fault than there's i suspect
