always great advice on these boards thank guys. I am going to look up jason's thread on it.

Well I wanted some general advice on it. I have played a few scenerios against a friend like Arzew, and a few others where I am attacking a trench in the open. Its impossible to get close to him as their is no terrain that lets you get close to the trench without being spotted...Also I realize a frontal assualt on a trench is not the best situation for infantry as they will get shredded like paper.My question is IF you have no armor support how do you go about taking the trench? I was thinking smoke, split squad insane amounts of supress fire and assault.

thanks bannon.

o my bad

thanks for the help J. What do ya mean about not much later? thanks again for the help.

Hey guys just wanted some tips or hints on how to handle my infantry when attacking across open desert against entrenched infantry. So far I have had to rethink my infantry tactics compared to CMBB (as it should be cause its different terrain). I usually take heavy losses on a map of that sort so i was wondering how some players go about minimizing their casualties. Reguards, Garand

ya I dont know, its not really that big of a deal the game works fine and its one of my favorites it was just that isolated incident...I was just asking if the game goes out of wack when you go against the guy who made the scenerio by playing the side he says is not played best as.....then Jason decided to treat me like an idiot...later guys PS I usually save over my games unless something really interesting happened that i want to keep!

this really happened to me but its just in that scenerio so ill just be quiet since I am a troll and a git. later guys and thanks for the suggestions.

eeeeeeh not new to CM !@#$% lol been playing since Overlord....and i Hate ToW and will never buy it..

ya i saved over it going to play the scenerio again then e mail it.

kk

I was playing as the british against what the scenerio editor says is "best played" could that be it?

Why am i git? and im not a troll. I am telling you that my soldiers where in COVER, not TAKING FIRE, not RATTLED, and they are fighting on a FLAT desert for the most part with no impassable terrain. The scenerio is Ariete-The ram. I would give them orders and they would just sit there. when i would check the movement paths the next turn they would not be there anymore.

nah guys this happened over multiple turns and these guys where totally unaffected by anything :-/ they didnt refuse to do anything they just didnt react to any order....I am not the best CM player but i do know about all the things you guys are talking about.

no1 is broken, they are not under fire and i gave them the move command. and they arent conscript...also its in the middle of a battle so no set up phase :-/ and the hills are small sand dunes.

I was playing a scenerio called Ariete-The Ram...I was playing as the British and I noticed that no matter what I did My infantry would not follow my orders...AND THEY WHERE NOT SUPRESSED or bothered by any enemy fire....I had platoons sitting behind hills, when i would tell them to advance and pressed GO they would just stand there...I have CMAK patched to 1.3 I dont understand? Is it because I went against want the scenerio maker said? he says either Player vs British or 2 players. Would me going against the scenerio editor affect the game mechanics that way? I never really noticed that it did in CMBB.

thanks for the help Jason, I have been trying ampulet's and they are very effective. Another thing I forget do late war soviets get bazooka's(Us provided) or RPG-1's like they did in World War 2 in real life? I dont know how affective a PTRD or PTRS would be in 1944....

Thanks man gonna use this. And it is the same scenerio you are talking about they are both columns are padlocked.

Well I was playing a small scenerio where my armored cars and Bt-10's are line up in a coulmn (they cannot be moved.) they are facing getman column down the road. As soon as i finish deploying my troops and i click for the first turn...both cloumns are attacking each other. The germans have some early tank models like PSW's etc. Both columns fired on each other right away. In the first round 2 of my BT's where knocked out and no German armor was. I looked after the battle and both armored columns had roughly the same experience.....so what determines who loses tanks in that situation? (both where hull down)...and does anyone have any tips for using soviet trash cans (armor) early war? thanks PS I NEVER EVER TRY TO DUEL WITH GERMAN ARMOR EARLY WAR.

hey guys I am a big CM guy, and I was thinking about giving Drop team a try..just curious on what you guys like best about the game? I am dling the demo as we speak

rock out guys thanks!

Hey guys I am doing an operation in CMBB...its 1941 and as the soviets most of my infantry are conscript troops. My mission is to retake a railyard. This requires me to assault dug in German infantry..most of them are regulars. I am not the best CM player but I do know my rules. I am spraying that damn trench with MG fire and covering fire from other units...and as soon as the conscripts take some type of fire..they break. Any suggestions? I know there a lot of people much better then I am here.. thanks! PS I have no armor just 76.2mm guns which i am using as well to cover then trenches..
