GOG Just Made Battlefront Some Cash
Sgt.Squarehead replied to S.h.r.i.k.e's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Yup.....That's another one who'll own the lot within a year. Welcome (back) to the war! -
I've genuinely never used them that way.....Always scared they would get riddled!

Welcome to 2021!
Sgt.Squarehead replied to Battlefront.com's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
How? It doesn't cost any more and if it means Steve & Co. have a bit of 'fluidity' to make things happen, I'm all for it.....Christ I pre-ordered that POS Cyberpunk 2077 so whingeing about Battlefront's pre-orders would be downright churlish. -
Oddities and Weird Stuff Updated
Sgt.Squarehead replied to Erwin's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
That would be 'Galloping Horse Downfall' at a guess? Those Bradleys are mustard! I've commented before that it's questionable if the US needs Abrams if Bradleys really are that good.....Defeating multiple T-90s in a frontal engagement (when the T-90s knew where they were** and the Bradleys had already been plastered with 122mm PGM, so should have been in a bit of a mess). ** They all dismounted and went and looked, getting positive contacts.....But they still couldn't spot 'em with their thermals once they mounted up and attempted to engage (or not before the Bradleys took 'em out with a volley of TOWs) -
Boys Against Men MG Scenario
Sgt.Squarehead replied to manchesterreg's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Not just a pretty face, eh @Warts 'n' all? -
He did 'TOC' for CM:BS and 'Coup' for CM:SF2.....Both are utterly unique. He also has a pretty fully developed CM:RT scenario that is just waiting for the release of F&R.....I've tested an early iteration of it and once again it is very novel. Then there's this: That is not (completely) a mock-up.....You really can play 'Cops & Robbers' in CM(:SF2)! Compared to this, even @MOS:96B2P's earlier creations look pretty mundane.....It's a campaign and you can play either side (Cops or Robbers)! I've said it before and I will no doubt say it again.....Man's a fekkinn genius!

Interesting choice.....Bit narrow in scope though.

I just remember those huge wheatfields in CM:BB.....On fire from end to end! -
CTD on Long Term CMRT PBEM Game

TBH I'd give that honour to their forward observers, with their binoculars & radios.

Two seperate icons to use 4.02 or 4.03
Sgt.Squarehead replied to butler69's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
I'm guessing this was long ago dealt with.....Ignore my waffle please. -
I wouldn't count on it as a reliable tactic.....I suspect that not finding 'that spot' might be the more likely probability.

Not convinced that it should, for the Soviets at least. I could kind of accept it for the Germans, but TBH there isn't much evidence of them using 'forward air control' in quite the way the western allies did. From the accounts I've read of Schlachtgeschwader & Stukageschwader on the eastern front, they were either assigned targets at a much higher level or just assigned a sector and left to do their own thing (which is pretty much how things work in CM:RT now).

CMFB (Unofficial) Screenshot Thread
Sgt.Squarehead replied to AttorneyAtWar's topic in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
It is Holland. The Syrians & Brits are probably just tourists, looking for a quick spliff & a tour of the sex museum. -
Welcome to 2021!
Sgt.Squarehead replied to Battlefront.com's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
In CM1 you could import your final turn into the editor and add fresh units for a sequel.....Damage to the map, wrecked vehicles were all preserved. IIRC fires went out though (but it was easy enough to start a new one). -
Welcome to 2021!
Sgt.Squarehead replied to Battlefront.com's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
While I wouldn't object to seeing the delay return, I'd much rather see static campaigns with persistent map damage (and real fire too) first. -
Just a matter of time fella.....Eventually the itch to see Uncons or IEDs in action, or let an Abrams or T-90M loose on something, will need to be scratched. I was a dedicated WWII fan too.....It's how I know. PS - It was CM:A that actually did it to me.....It's only $25, I thought, what harm could it do? It would make a change etc. etc. So now I own the lot, just like you will.

Soviet tankers bailing too soon.
Sgt.Squarehead replied to Commanderski's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
I wonder if translation isn't the issue here too, I suspect the author probably meant 'concertina-wire': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concertina_wire Just got the wrong type of musical instrument.
