Pardon my history, but didnt the US first encounter the Tiger in Africa? Am I wrong to remember it was in the Kasserine Pass?
Yes but did they encounter one in Normandy is the question.

Have i been here long enought to join this thread yet?

A nuclear power plant on the Japanese coast just suffered a catastophic explosion!
-
Never really understood the fascination with the Eastern front. What is it about the Russian front (and CMBB i guess) that players like so much ?
Awesome films like Stalingrad and iron cross. Plus Sven Hassel books!
-
I doubt that's gonna happen, even for the contemporary base games (e.g normandy and bagration). Assuming they keep improving the engine between releases, making the newest release work with the old content will be an effort that will not really be rewarding financially to them as people will have already bought the earlier base games and (understandably) not be willing to pay too much to be able to combine the content...
If it was possible id like to see them upgrading the other ones via patches so CM:BN would be on the same as the CM:Bagration.

Right then! We shall need AA tripods for the Bren when the Commonwealth module comes out!
-
So one of the things BF are looking at (in the future) is the eventual use of Medium and light AAA against the enemy aircraft. However will this include things like the AA mounts on top of tanks (I.E. the commanders MG34 or .50) as well as infantry using rifles and LMG's etc? From what ive read people tended to throw everything they had at incoming aircraft.

The british counter attack arras (?) in 40 led to the utter arse kincking of one the SS divisions didnt it?
-
Personally, I would LOVE to see CMSF:Zombies with MOUT battles vs brain eating dead.
Now theres a module!
-
I think that incident is discussed by SLA Marshall in one or more of his books. I believe it's A Soldier's Load where he notes that armies send infantry into combat loaded down with all kinds of heavy but now underused paraphernalia, and the bayonet (as opposed to a trench knife) is one example.
Id say the Brit lads that used them in Iraq and Afghanistan would disagree with you on that.
Fixing bayonets focus's the mind and loosens bowls!
-
I never have actualy read about instances of close combat (that is combat with bajonets, or hitting the enemy with rifles or entrenching tools) in Normandy. Closest I have read about is tossing grenades and shooting point blanc.
Has anyone links to actual combat reports or reasonable reliable histories where there is any? (In this theatre and this time frame?)
Didnt someone in the 101st win the MOH for leading a bayonet charge on DDay?

I'm willing to host a preview - only for Fifers and those who think the UK includes Scotland
Oh and if youse would all be willing to pay for the err...new wide screen HD telly...Awesome im both!!
I'll put a few shillings in!
-
I think it should be in bonnie scotland...
Oh and Scotts units should get a morale bonus from HQ units with bagpipes.
-
I still think "cold war gone hot" in 1980 (say able archer did kick off in 83) would be awesome. lots of lovely Kit (including Abrams!) that would leave the sides reasonably ballanced. Lots of modules for BOAR, NVA and the Bundshwear. Also we could have tactical nukes and a CAS option!!
-
Will the other player have the option to shoot them out of hand after the MG42 team that chewed up a platoon worth of the units buddy's surrenders?
Edit * this is meant as a rather dark joke*
-
Yeah this is a great shame. RIP
-
So I am guesstimating..... demo in March, release in April.
One can hope at least
Damn there does my exams!!

This site has some very knowledgeable people. They might have some of the answers you are looking for. Ask on the RA or technical boards.

We have enough soft skinned vehicles already, no need for trucks
tell that to a brit infantry company.
-
the british should have come with a truck...
-
i believe 3 CDO BDE was training for afghanistan at the time and about to be deployed, maybe it has something to do with it
Very true, i keep forgetting that this is still set in the "real" world so Afghanistan is still raging.
-
Should we be looking at smaller turn times or should we keep it at 60 seconds but look at how the AI reacts and maybe the ability to tell the AI how you would like it to react.
I.E. a recon setting, a defensive setting, an assault setting etc. This giving the ai more idea on how you would want it to react.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Out of curiosity whats the reasoning behind the UK only having 40 Commando in the amphibious assault? The UK pretty much has the second largest amphibious capability in the world and could easily put a reinforced brigade (3 commando brigade) over the beach.
Not a complaint just wondering, well done thats a damn long list.
Oh and if youse would all be willing to pay for the err...new wide screen HD telly...
