Well it isnt. Every other scenario from the TWC sereis shows up except this one. I renamed it but to no avail.
-
I did make the same mistake. Check under scenarios starting with TWC, not CW.
I did that, but its not there???
-
I put the file into my scenario folder but ingame it doesnt show up?

He definitely deserves a fee copy! ;D
Ill second that.

She did. Another boring afternoon looking at holiday photos of some place I can't even remember the name of. This is us in front of..... zzzz. Here's another picture of a hill with a ruin on top. All I could think of was how would I assault/defend that.
Ah well, next weekend is all my own.
Cheers
ROFLMAO. Sound somehow familiar.

I used to have a copy of Louis Hagen's amazing foxhole-level soldier's memoir "The Arnhem Lift" (now long out of print, and my mum tossed my copy, alas). Hagen was a German Jew (was in Torgau KZ) who escaped to Britain and joined the Paras in time for OMG. He describes one sequence in which German prisoners refuse even to dig latrines for themselves until a captured officer arrives and upbraids them, using their captors as examples of disciplined soldierly behaviour to emulate.
I just found it on amazon. Its even available for the Kindle

Blitzkreig Legend by Freiser is very good.
+1 Simply the best. But the author is Karl-Heinz Frieser.

Thats why I joined the Panzergrenadiere. That way I have both, a tank and Iam also Infantry.
Iam such a smart guy

So you're saying you can actually kill prisoners? Aside from the test I mentioned in the OP, I've also seen prisoners survive crazy situations elsewhere and just assumed them invulnerable. I recall one instance in particular where a couple 105mm artillery shells landed not meters away from a surrendered German in the middle of a road (and about a dozen flaming halftracks :cool:), and he was good to go, still chilling with his hands in the air like he really just did not care.
I also remember seeing POW´s getting killed after they raised their hands.

As far as I could say the Panzerjäger-Abteilung 352 was unusually strong as the Stugs werent an organic part. They beefed the Abteilung up.
Regarding the organisation of Panzerjäger-Abteilung 716 theres a nice organigramm here:

95% of all my CMBN games are PBEM battles and I also do not really understand the counting at the end.
I agree with those who say that Prisoners should count the most, then KIA and at last the wounded.
And the idea is great that heavily wounded soldiers can die if being left without first aid.
But apart from the aspects of "counting", "ammo collecting" and "game results" it is every soldier's duty to help wounded comrades.
Every player is different, of course, but I for one always feel with my little pixel-soldiers and I want my wounded to be saved.
And this brings me to a very important point: For the sake of a better atmosphere and more playing fun on the CMBN battlefields we need medics!
I totaly agree. Medics would be great. Iam also trying to care for every wounded that I suffer and in my opinion this should be somehow rewarded e.g. getting extra points. I mean whats the point of buddy aid if its only for collecting ammo. So if my ammo stock is plenty filled I could let my soldiers die a miserable death. That just doesnt feel right.

Hi, Iam currently engaged in a PBEM game and Iam discussing the usefullness of Buddy Aid.
Is Buddy Aid usefull for anything else beside collecting weapons and ammo?
I was always under the impression that it has an moraleffect on other troops if you take care of your wounded.

Interesting thread.
Theres a new book out there that discusses nealry the same issue. It just arrived at my house but I havent read it so far. But Iam pretty excited about the new theorys.
-
It depends on the terrain and the situation but generaly they should stay in at least visual contact.
Heres a nice article about german tactics.

I'm not having any success using this to mod the Luftwaffe units. Could someone specify the exact names to change the various CMBN uniform mods (officer, m43 uniform, m42 helmet etc) to make them work for the Luftwaffe Field Division models?
Thank you in advance.
-- R
For Waffen SS
german-waffenss-cammo-uniform
german-waffenss-officer-uniform-m43
For Luftwaffe
german-luftwaffe-cammo-uniform
If you want additional just explode the Normandy v110 Commonwealth.brz with the Mod Tools. There you can find all the desired names for your files.

Heres agreat source for camo. I think Waffen SS is Oak Laef Pattern.
-
Great idea, Ill second that.

Great! Thx alot.

Great read.

Thx for your quick reply

Hi Aris,
Iam getting errors in each of the 3 files while unpacking them.
-
Iam German. Of course I prefer playing for "my Country". But I never felt Iam a Nazi. Never had anything in common with the brown rubbish.
Right or wrong, my country.

The Storch was used to carry Mussolini out. The commandos came by glider.
There was, however, an operation during Fall Gelb where a battalion (I think) of commandos was flown into Luxembourg by a fleet of Storchs flying shuttle missions. I don't recall the details, except that the mission was not a great success. On the other hand, the German army went through Luxembourg so quickly that it did not matter.

You mean Operation Niwi

Not a great success but as you say it doesnt matter.
