[Off-Topic: TMA Soviet Infantry]

Just to preface this, I don't know nearly as much about the East Front as I do other areas of the war, so please bear with me.

In the context of CM, how did Soviet infantry differ from German or American infantry during WW2? What considerations did they bring in terms of company and platoon level formations that your average west front focused American would mis-interpret or ignore? Did they have any glaring equipment issues? Did they have any bright spots? Finally, what kind of support would your typical attacking Soviet rifle company have attached to them?

The staffing strength of the standart infantry division of the USSR on 22 June 1941 -

personnel - 14483

rifles and carbines-10420

machineguns-166

light machine-guns-192

anti-aircraft guns-33

submachine guns-1204

guns-144

mortars-66

cars-558

horses-3039

armored vehicles-13

tanks-16

tractor-99

They lacked watches. One of the first things Soviets did when they captured Germans was take all the watches.

You can see many prewar and war photos, all Soviet officers have watches. How you can coordinate your manoeuvres without watches, its bull**** like - all Russians drink vodka, bears walking on the streets, Russians is mongoloid race, etc!

[Camo for SS units]

I think need rename full camo to dot44 camo and rename mixed to 41-43 camo.

[Commonwealth Uniforms]

Thank you Jacquinot. Very nice. Now how about having a go at modding the Commonwealth lads!

Cheers

I know too little about US UK uniform, my favorite Waffen SS and Red army. To make mods you need know a lot about what you do.

[What kinde of uniform?]

Thanks I did not know this! And about Waffen SS panzergrenadiers and engineers? I saw in data folder this jackets for SS engineers and armoured grenadiers but you can't chose this uniform in editor.

[What kinde of uniform?]

When you chose panzergrenadier uniform on Wehrmacht soldiers in scenario editor you can see some strange uniform on your units, for SS soldiers we have same uniform in data folder but she cant be chosen. What is this?

Looks like tankman jacket.

I played as US. Real nice map, and I had a ferocious fight (minor defeat). But to be honest: numerical advantage of tanks disappears because of (near) impossibility to get them across the bridge. I got one across and counted myself very lucky.

I am really impressed by the big duneslike sandy crater east of the town. Don't know how you made that, but it looks very good. If only foxholes could be that realistic..

Gonna play it again soon, also as US. I've got to win!

Overall verdict: Nice exciting scenario. Difficult, but real intense, and I especially like the relative small battleground and the close quarter atmosphere.

Thanks. Play it with my Waffen SS camo mod to feel fearsome atmosphere.

I think if Americans will be have heavy artillery scenario will be easy to play, remember that you have 9 tanks vs 2 AT guns.

First scenario test, the bloody amerikanisch assault)))))))

[Unforims for 2.0 Recomendations]

nice one....so in the Z folder as normal. 2.0 allows multiple use of uniform/camo for different units in the same scenario correct?

Yes you right, you can use different camo/uniform in one scenario.

[My first map]

I have to agree with that. It looks very natural. Will it be uploaded it to the repository?

Yes but I think I must try to make scenario.

[My first map]

I add footbridge, now attackers can send they infantry to attack Cemetery hill on right flank, but before they must take sandpit.

[My first map]

You have a good imagination.

I have never been quite sure what is the fascination with maps or scenarios based on RL. Imo, imagined maps and scenarios are usually more enjoyable as the designers can focus on "fun to play" aspects. So, well done! Hope you are motivated to do more.

Thank you.

[My first map]

Very realistic looking. Is this from your imagination or did you have an actual village in mind when you made it?

I live in Russia and never be in Normandy, it's just my imagination :-)

[My first map]

I never make a scenario, but I think I can try.

[Hate the game]

Totally baffling. Should have saved the money. Been through the tutorial for crewed weapons about 8 times. Can fire in the training mission but not once in a scenario and I have tried several short scenarios each numerous times. I don't get it...meaning why command control is so confusing. Bad enough you have be a teenager to manipulate the views easily without having to contend with deploying, finding the spotter...if there IS one...just not fun...just frustrating. Now I know why Battleground doesn't allow returns.

I think you need play Theatre of War first, after it this game will be very easy to play :-)

Looks great Baron. Just to clarify: We only need the latest file, not any of the earlier ones?

[Heavy MG's ?]

Is it correct that heavy machine guns can not be deployed in buildings even in v2.0 ???

Yes it can, but not in every building or not in every window.
