It was just a coincidence i found out about this and i guess it IS gamey: Lets say i have my russian MP company and i want them doing a human wave from point A to B. Now if i issue the 'normal' command, the 'human wave' wil be turned into a 'run' command after a few meters. Like this: Okay, so far so good, so normal, but during my last PBEM game, it happend to me that i issued one platoon to human wave outside the map. What i noticed was, that the issued 'human wave' will not turn into 'run' anymore while they swarm across the map. So if i want my men to 'wave' against a position 'b', i can simply order them to do it outside the map, but now in the constellation, that their way will lead through the position 'B'. This way i can be sure they will not start running, but 'wave' until they reach point B. After that, i can cancel the command and give new orders. Is this an exploit? I guess... Is it gamey? I guess... But what would you think, say and do if someone would try this in a battle against you? All the best: GAGA [ December 03, 2005, 12:56 PM: Message edited by: GAGA Extrem ]

I remember someone from the cdv boards has made a short (~10-15min) CMBB movie. Looking for link, stay tuned. [edit]Movie page down... Sry folks I have written a large CMBB AAR - some kind of board war, were the members could choose a unit and were included in-game. Unfortunalty it is written in german and a hell lot of text. ^_° http://www.cdv-board.de/deutsch/showthread.php?t=24514&page=2&pp=15&highlight=battle+for+cdv+board Maybe i can make some movies from my brothers high-end machine... =)

Excuse the dumb question, but why is it gamey to use snipers as scouts? :confused:

Hello all! I just stepped over a player command in another board, where that player described his use of LMGs as scout troops. Now my question is: Are snipers better scouts than LMG groups? Both have a binocular and a testrow showed almost equal scouting ability for both of them. Has anyone experience with LMGs as scouting troops? Best regards: Markus "GAGA Extrem" Grebe

Iirc, deathclock applies to bunkers. Wooden MG bunkers can be killed easily by small gun fire like 20mm FlaK or even a Panzerbüchse... They can stand for a few turns, but i believe they are rather useless, since they have only 1 MG, you can even assault them... ...versus ai ^^

Still tricky to get an age with only this informations :mad: (Or did I misinterpret something from that paragraph?)

Runyan99, i agree to your point of higehr careness for the palyers troops. Maybe someone here has played with the RQQC tool - it is all the same there, you look twice after eacht ank or each ounit from your core force

I guess its useless for squads, but how about tank hunter teams? If you want that thing out of your way, sounds like a good trade...

Will there be a chance to reduce the detail level? I doubt it will run smooth on a 1,4 athlon / 512mb ram / atlantis 9k machine - will it?

CMBB / CMAK HoI 1+2 Silent Hunter III Europa Universalis 2 (if that counts) Warcraft 3 (at least it has a WAR in its name... ) Close Combat 5 Day of Defeat IL2 / pacific Fighters Sudden Strike / Blitzkrieg Panzer Elite Panzerfront Ausf. B (for PS2 - but kicks ass) Of course not all at the same time, i play one - three games for a few weeks and then switch to some others...

Oh, that actually happened at our town. My grandma told me a story about a Volkssturm man who was pinned down in a trench. A tank drove over the trench, rotated and filled it with sand and soil until the guy had suffocated... War is hell

Well, as for me, i hate: - Trucks (the PSW / M5 SC have MUCH better offroad capacity) - R-35 (my good! teh evil of all tanks ever made - thanks god, i never ever got him... *splurg*) - Ampuloment (pretty useless, imho... Mortars are much better) - mmG's (though good to delay an enemy and make him waste his ammo) - Recoilless guns (though i like the design, they are to expansive - note: the 88mm "Püppchen" does not count for that... <3 Püppchen)

Note that you can change the weather after buying the planes - they will still attack even if it is set to overcast and so on. Dunno if the set weather changes the chance of showng up, though... But i made a scenario where a JU showed up in a blizzard, so all might be possible...

Well, as for my defeat, i had not much options tp deploy my troops, the terrain was very flat and open on my flanks and the only cover was through the center. Well i have learned much since this match and now i am always going to buy a few AA guns

Reminds me of a CMAK match against my brother. Desert, moderate hills, small map, troops perfectly deployed for assault. 2nd round: Plane strafing sound 3rd round: Ju-87 displayed on screen. target line to my tanks. GAGA's face: °_° JU closing in to my tanks in the middle of my troops. GAGA's face o_o JU dropping the bomb. I can see the projectile falling directly into my main formation. GAGA's face: O_O Impact. One battallion infantry does all the same animation: stand up, fall down... GAGA's face: O_O; Round four: Auto-surrender. You have suffered a total defeat, blabla, your losses: 514 men / 262 KIA GAGA's face: there's no smilie for this expression... So, what did I learn from this? Never, ever, try to stack your troops if there is any chance for your enemy to get a JU...

Okay, so what about Panzer Pioniere? 2LMGs sounds a lot better than regular Pios...

Good old 'M8' CMBO times, eh?

Well, at least i am not finished by traffic jams - my HTs are just to slow... ...am i suppost to rotate them? :confused:

Just BTW: They lovely german 20mm HT / Armored Cars do an excellent job drawing airplane bombs, rockets and Gunfire away from my important Units...

As already said, Airborn and SMG rock. But what about Pios on Russian side? They are rather expensive, but they have the "Päcchen" satchels - ´nice if you know ur opponent is getting tanks. And, unlike the german counterpart, you dont have to buy flamethrowers AND they can come in small platoon size. Arent they better than regular Rifle Platoons? And: would you favortite rifle or recon platoons? Is bigger [squadsize] always better?

Dude, you saved my holiday... ...I never noticed he also made this masterpiece for CMAK. :eek: :eek:

I guess flamethrowers are a #1 target for all units...

Excellent idea! *schieb*

Steve, watch #3, there the crew is selected. It has the same name like the HMG. You can still see the mud from the mortar hit near the guys. Hmm, next thought: Counts the 'dead' MG as 6 casualties? What if the crew dies? More points for your enemy? Indeed we are doomed, dead man walking... ...oh wait, that was that evil cm hack -.-
