Procedure for posting a senario here
Dowly replied to M1Charlie's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Hey, If you have troubles with making scenarios, you could try and have a look at JonS' excellent tutorial on scenario building: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=110294 -
CMBN - Quick battle (ME), AAR (Allied)
Dowly replied to Ripppe's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
And have a healthy respect for those StuG's. Not much experience of them in CM, but in Close Combat: Last Stand Arnhem I held the first battlegroup of XXX Corps at Valkenswaard (i.e. the most southern sector on the map) with one single StuG IIIG. Also, in WWIIOL, I did extremely well in a StuG IIIG. So, they might not have a turret but the sloped front is a bitch to penetrate. In CM, the StuG turns very slowly, so that's your chance. Strike fast, strike hard. -

Surprised to see Crècy using Flaks, and in the open like that. They "somewhat" work in Close Combat for example, but in CM they are easy kills for mortars (as he will see shortly ). Btw, any chance to see an overhead shot of the map? -
[NEW PREVIEW] Juju's TweakedUI v3 + skinpack

Oh wow, amazing job! -
Yup, that's it, you can see it clearly in this photo: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Stug_iii_helsinki.jpg EDIT: Actually, c3k might be correct!

Do a google image search for 'uv map reference', you'll find a bunch of images that have numbers/letters and different colors. Just paste one of those images on top of the uniform, stick it in the Z folder and load the game. Should give you a good idea where everything is.

Good luck! I've played against Crécy.. err.. three times I think in the past, so kick his butt! -
How effective was the Panzerfaust IRL
Dowly replied to Georgie's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
From what I recall from watching the movie, they were volunteer Swedes from Sweden. Think there were close to 2000 Swedish volunteers fighting on the Tali-Ihantala front. -
The spotting really could use some work. I remember one night mission where I ordered my troops to cross a road. American unit opened fire from the hedgerows on the other side, distance was about 5-6 meters. My unit was alive for maybe 20 seconds under fire, but they never spotted the enemy firing from just few meters away. Not even a '?' mark.

Thanks Here's something that happened on the earlier turn (PBEM match): The target arc was one meter short. -
M1 carbine how effective was it
Dowly replied to Georgie's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Completely irrelevant, but when I used to play Day of Defeat (the HL1 version, not the POS source crap), I always tapped 2-3 in the chest with the M1 Carbine. Seemed to work. Carry on. -
That works, thanks!!

My hero! Just post the proper link like BigDog944 instructed and I'm ready to start donating organs if you ever happen to need any.

How effective was the Panzerfaust IRL
Dowly replied to Georgie's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Looking at how the war progressed towards the end as we now know it. It tends to tell me that ATG and infantry AT weapons would have accounted for the most tank kills once the fighting got into the urban areas and German armor had been decimated. But would like to see some concrete data for this as well. -

Dowly replied to Georgie's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Yep, Allies lost a bunch of tanks navigating through the bocage. I seem to recall that the germans would pin-point gaps in the hedgerows large enough for tanks to get through and set-up ambushes either with ATGs or infantry held AT weapons, such as the 'Faust. -
Any chance you could post that photo? I'm not sure which photo you are talking off.

CM:BN Screenshot Thread #2
Dowly replied to Battlefront.com's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Besides cropping the images, they are untouched. My current mods (I hope it's OK to post links to other forums?): http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1921850&postcount=47 EDIT: Oh and I'm using the settings found in the Some performance and quality tips for NVIDIA users thread PS. What is the policy for doctored images btw? I like to enhance my screenshots at times. Would it be ok to post them in this thread? Cheers, Dowly -

Panthers from Panzer-Regiment 16. take a break after a hard day's work. One of the unlucky ones to cross the Panthers' path on that day. -
CM:BN Screenshot Thread #2
Dowly replied to Battlefront.com's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Thanks It has to be one of the cooler moments I've had in CM:BN (somewhat new to the game still). I had had a particularly crappy mission before that, so I was out for blood. It worked like a charm, the enemy retreated en masse... except for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVxNr4LQris. Cheers, Dowly -
Very interesting! Thanks for posting!
