I have seen the ages old furores and bitter arguments
im ‘dm-ing’ a group pbem and I just need to know if it’s possible or not
but I can’t actually find an answer - can you or can’t you fire these from a building?

I’ve been on a rather circuticious route to CMBN and back again having played the game to death over many releases - it’s been 3 years now since I last played - I’m all on, patched, upgraded and the rest
In my absence and still now I have fallen in love with Bolt Action the table top game and I suspect that’s what’s brought me back to CMBN - I digress - part of my tabletop force includes the 7/2 mounted flakvierling - I know this is part of Market Garden which I don’t have - could someone tell me if it can be used in an anti infantry role?
Thankyou

Good luck sir - ill be watching and reading - IIRC youre hiding your AAR and screenshot skills under a bushel - our fight was highly detailed by yourself all those years agoooooooooooo!!

What do you guys use to simulate rubble underneath broken bridges
-
Kieme CMBS additional flavor objects 5 (monument) updated now to include a 4th additional tank: T-34/85 1944.
are there any more civilian vehicles to bring in from anywhere - i have an oil refinery car park that can only take so many blue ladas!
-
Yes all bridges in the editor can be replaced with a broken version. That capability is built in. Play with the editor and you will find a strike out symbol in the same location as the bridge orientation selection.
you know what - after building maps for 3 years i always wondered what they were for!
-
Is it possible to create/place a broken bridge?

Kieme CMBS additional flavor objects 3 (heavy vehicles)
This mod adds 1 new flavor object to the game, in form of an empty ZIL truck, it should work both as civilian and military hardware. The model and textures were ported from combat mission shock force game with some adjustments.
These flavor objects are not present in any game map created since now, but they will be available for map makers from now on if they decide to use them.
You will find these in game's editor, under "vehicle" in the flavor objects 3 Group.
Note: these flavor objects do not provide cover, don't block shots or vehicles movement and are sometimes glitchy with their shadows.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
now i just need a petrol tanker, a tractor and a train - youre my hero!!
-
US Army forces would be involved as well. Perhaps units from the 25th ID and 82nd Airborne. A whole joint team.
do modern forces still parachute in? just playing with an idea for a scenario

Thanks takoda,
I am playing two PBEM and will hear from the other guys too some comments. I am aleady tweaking few things for a V2 edition.
if you could stop my bradleys reversing into your arcs of fire that would be awesome!!
-
This would be amazing. Although I think it would be quite a challenge. Reskinning units would not be a huge issue, but changing all the weapon and body armor stats would be much more of a challenge I imagine. Still though it would be awesome and whoever could make it happen would be my hero
its currently underway in ARMA III if youre interested

They replace the white picket fences. They're nice but I wanted something a bit grimmer. It is nothing special but it might be useful until Kieme or Juju release something better. Same resolution as the default picket fence.
(Don't mind the trees, they're not from me, it is a port from CMBN, I am just working on a wintery map.)
I also got these dingy run down and rusty corrugated walls that replace stone walls. Not sure whether it is worth it to upload them, I am not entirely satisfied with them. The repeat is maybe a bit too obvious and they look weird from the side or from a top down view.
when i was beta testing CMBS i would have killed for these panels - the map i was building didnt look the same compared to the google earth pictures i was looking at without them and i lost heart in the map - but these are great thanks
-
Thanks geek,
the trench should actually be like a ditch used by farmers. There are several sparsed around, I thought of them to give the infantry some cover even amid open fields.
thats what i thought
and then i drove into one!
-
Playing a PBEM with Kieme - the map is a work of art - so many small details that give the map life, a picnic area, a trench (who knows why its there), the guard hut and roadblocks are fantastic
-
thanks chaps - he did keep nosing round the edge with long commands - ill try short ones
-
Will a Stryker progress over light forest?
I have a situation whereby a Stryker cant advance without showing its a flank to a suspected enemy position, but theres a sneaky shortcut through a wood - tiles are light forest, mud and dirt - shouldhe make it?
-
I am also looking forward for a test run if anyone wants a PBEM.
give me a day or 2 and ill take you up on that
edit - PM sent

awesome work and great plan with moving the objectives around - im primarliy a map builder and not AI builder - i have a few in the works and will do a similar thing to you - good idea
-
Chaps, apologies for not catching up on this - Para PM'd me earlier today and ive only just found the right thread
I loved creating the map, it was my first - and it taught me many lessons, mainly that im a map builder and not an AI builder!
I love creating the maps, but im a terrible planner whn it comes to AI, i always thought if i could find a good partnership with a guy who hated mapping but loved AI wed be a good combo
Anyway, i played CMBN until my eyes bled, burnt out, returned, played some more and made a few more maps and then had a HDD crash that lost me the game, and CMSF and CMFI!! I know it was all retrievable, but at the time id had enough
Ive just recently bought CMBS having been a beta tester, but didnt ask for the free copy as i didnt feel id done enough work to warrant it and instantly opened the game and started making a map
I would love to hand over the torch of this map to anyone who wants to take it on, i would have no problem with anyone taking it to the next level - in fact i saw about a year ago a guy on youtube using the map and he claimed credit for it
Feel free, enjoy, after all it was something i did for the community - its only fair the community takes ownership and treats it properly
good luck

Anyone can see him attack. Everyone wants to see c3k Defend ! THAT will be awesome.
i suspect it will mostly look like the 'attack' version, with more shouting
-
do they always play it twice?
-
is it the bolt?
-
maybe somebody here could be promoted to the lofty ranks of taking ownership of the repository, sorting it properly, redesigning it and deffo doing some AARs of new scenarios and choosing 'scanrio of the week', 'month' even year and awarding the designer with something to encourage more people to design

Thankyou chaps - didn’t want to get into the rights or wrongs
