  1. In a CMBB scenario I'm currently working on, I have been able to get a handful of trucks to behave well by selecting the group and putting a single move line to a distant point. The section of the map has some significant woods and a bridge. I have adjusted the end point to land on the same road the trucks start on, with the result that the trucks move off in good order and find the road and bridge themselves on a line I would have selected for them. The result actually surprised me the first time it happened, I was checking reinforcements at the time and only needed them to move out of the way.

    I think the key is that there is a large patch of woods near the reinforcement point that blocks the immediate movement line I drew. Note that halftracks are not as cooperative and seem to want to run in the grass at the edge of the road.

    Diesel, I agree that scenario designers should consider what it would be like to manage the assigned reinforcements, and stagger them on successive turns if the immediate road congenstion is too great. Something I am careful with when building a scenario :)

  2. It's actually an anagram, or palindrome, or anagrammic palindrome or palindrommic anagram or somesuch :).

    I don't know if I would qualify as "dearly" departed: I left because I wouldn't tolerate being shouted at in 14" high letters by "the luddite representatives of management" :)

    I hadn't played CM again until recently.

    I must have missed that episode, although I was most likely there at the time. As with a lot of clubs, there has been a turnover of management.

    The club maintains a list of those who have left for one reason or another. A few left under difficult circumstances, but most are welcome to return. I was observing that you aren't on that list, so you must have left a long time ago or under a different name.

  3. Another (still good?) place to find opponents is http://webandofbrothers.yuku.com. Although you have to get a sponsor to play you before you join, it's relatively easy to do - check the membership list for the folks who are willing to act as sponsors and contact them and play a game through with them. There are a lot of opportunities there if you can put up with the occasionally anally retentive and autocratic 'club management' style. Stay out of the forums and play the games and you'll have some fun ...

    The Band of Brothers is a great place to find opponents, and egamarl is correct about the process for joining the club. http://webandofbrothers.de/join.htm

    Drop me a line and I'll find a sponsor for you, if you are interested.

    egamarl, you must have changed names since departing the BoB, I couldn't find you on my "dear departed list".
