  1. I guess I was just impatient - too used to things being instantaneous! - now there is link and activation code in my Order list.
  2. I just purchased Normandy base game but also cannot see where to download.
  3. Thanks for the replies. I have tried the fire and maneuver drill, without success. hhmmm, guess it simply is a pretty difficult (impossible) scenario, and one where you simply need a lot of luck to succed. Have tried the scenario quite a few times now, and might just have to move on and admit defeat (however tough that might be). shaun
  4. Hi SpifireXI Im pretty sure that there are no mortars, and I certainly dont have any infantry. There really are ONLY tanks - thats the big problem.
  5. Hi all I have CMBO & CMAK, but unfortunately don’t have time to play it as much as I would like. Have played for some years, but this is my first entry to the forum, and hope this is in the right forum. I have played the scenario ! A series of Misfortunes, which is part of the package of scenarios which were created to go along with the CMAK Companion book. My question is fairly simple: How do you advance tanks towards AT-guns over completely open terrain without any form of support? A more detailed introduction of this specific scenario follows, but this question must also be applicable in e.g. CMBB scenarios (which is why I have posted it here and not under CMAK). **** Spoiler alert**** ! ! ! In said scenario, (as german) you only have tanks (think there are two versions of Pz IV) with absolutely NO support. Some of the tanks do have smoke though. The objective is to seize the top middle of the map, which is protected by a number (7 or8) of british AT-guns. You start behind a small ridge, but after that the map is nearly completely flat up to the british guns. I have tried this scenario quite a few times now, each try ending in a near complete annihilation of my tank force. I have tried a rush up the right hand side to the small depression in the top right corner (where ‘only’ two AT-guns can shoot me). Despite having other tanks behind the ridge trying to keep the guns suppressed, only1 off the 4-6 tanks I sent out made it to the depression. I have also tried a more simple shoot-out with the guns, but as there are so many of them and they are in improved positions (behind sandbags), it is difficult to even suppress them, and nearly impossible to knock them out. As I said earlier – the tanks have a bit of smoke. but it only lasts about one turn which isn’t even enough to rush up to the other end of the map. The problem is also that there are so many guns and over such a large area, that it is difficult to make an efficient smoke-screen to cover any advance. I had hoped to insert a picture here of the setup, but dont know how to - does it really need to be out on the net somewhere (says you need URL). *** Spoiler end**** I hope some of you can help, as I have otherwise completely given up on this scenario (one possibility of course is, that –although realistic- this is simply a scenario which proves that it is impossible to attack AT-guns without support). Thanks shaun
