Cool,

@kohlenklau I got a DB (CMPzC Eindhoven MiniBattle1) invite from a Phil Pal, who is my opponent ?

How cool is that.

Best of luck Chappy

Huzzar ! I'm home all day today and catching up with the world of CM

Sorry for the late reply Heinrich, I've been working overtime the last 13 days. I foresee it has a possibility, but I'd like to keep the option open and more importantly, to keep the Axis commanders thinking it's a possibility and hold a few units on the right flank.

I'll take it if no-one will

Excellent AAR IanL, pity we didn't get the bridge intact.

Here are our opening moves. I started the turn with a aerial reconnaissance we've spotted some enemy troops dug in to the north-east and in the woods to the north of Valkenswaard. I moved units up the road and managed to get a squadron of Shermans across the river. Having spotted enemy blocking the way across the bridge, I ordered air strikes plus a artillery bombardment in preparation for an assault across the river. Units that will participate in the assault are: 1/3 Irish Guards 2/3/2 Irish Guards 1/3/2 Irish Guards All available air and artillery assets will support the attack.

Gentlemen of XXX Corps. Nathangun address's his troops before going into action. Today we will advance to rescue our brothers in arms in Arnhem. It will be a hard battle but I'm told jerry has thrown in the towel. We will be fighting young boys and old men, so we'll hit jerry for six and be home in time for Christmas. Has it turned out there was much resistance from the 'old men'. Today our orders are to liberate Valkenswaard. It is now 0600, 18 September 1944. The weather for today is warm and damp, with a light breeze blowing from the south west. The sky is slightly overcast. Irish Guards Group will attack and seize Valkenswaard in preparation for tomorrow's XXX Corps assault on Eindhoven. 3 rifle companies of 3/Irish Guards, 3 squadrons of 2/Irish Guards (approx grand total of 15 Shermans due to damaged and KO'd vehicles), 1 troop of Recce- Irish Guards (3 Stuarts) and the 25 pounders of the 55th Field Artillery Battery (8 guns). The Canadian "Tiffies" of No. 129 and No. 143 Squadron (4 planes each) will form "cab ranks" and signal your ALO when they come on station...also you have the air recon boys from RAF 662 Squadron. As reinforcements, XXX Corps has allocated 1 additional battery of 25 pounders (8 guns) from the 4th Royal Irish Horse Artillery as well as 23rd Canadian Field Co. and the 14th Field Squadron. Consult your PzC arrival schedule for the details. The Division Ordnance Shop is working hard to patch up a few shermans damaged in yesterday's battles and will dispatch them up with fresh crews as soon as available. Previous scouting forays indicate you are opposed by relatively low quality troops in prepared positions. Each one is a light company in strength with some Flak guns in support. One battery of Artillery typically support these 2nd rate blokes. One last thing...Air Recce and the Intel chaps have suggested Jerry may have a small panzer unit in Walre being held in reserve. Use standard tactical procedures to soften up the enemy with both direct and indirect fire. Conduct coordinated assaults as needed. Maintain lines of communication and supply. OCCUPY Valkenswaard: 30 points OTHER HEXES: CONSULT PzC map for points. DESTROY Enemy Units: as per the usual SOP

Nathangun reporting for duty.

Just watched it last night. Very good, I recommend it.

holy crap, that;'s damn fine work. Is the mod/map available yet ?

Just seeing them scenario cards brings a nostalgic tear to ones eyes. sniff.

Good to hear your having fun

Hi steve joining a club is the best way to meet other CM players, the best way to play and laerning to play any of the CM games is against other people, check here http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/

Amen to that :-)

Will we ever see the 'Human Wave' order making it's way to CMRT ? It's been awhile, but I seem to remember a 'Human Wave' like order (worded to such effect) in CMBB. Will anything like that be making it's way to CMRT ?

Sounds like Combat Mission Korea: the forgotten war. :-p

I'm in the middle of playing this battle pbem. I have most of a inf platoon and one tank to a lucky mortar strike and another one to mines, the last one is in the first ditch line blasting along the trench. I've taking half of the first line of mg nests with at least two platoons still intact. A very testing scenario and well designed, kudos. ;-)

Thanks for the replys lads, much appricated.

I never played a CM campaign, any suggestions ? I'm looking forward to a challenging campaign, either a CM /BN /FI /GL /MG /RT will do thanks

Brilliant !

Very nice umlaut

OK thanks :-)
