A Canadian Cat

On of our forum members is working on just such a thing for CM2x. Check out this thread: http://community.battlefront.com/topic/116709-seeking-one-pair-of-pbem-players-to-playtest/ I am sure once he has things worked out he will write up a summary of his experiences and help more people make them. Right @sfhand

Wow there ya go. I learned something. I will look up that setting and see how that feels. In fact I seem to recall there was a thread about optimizing the Nvida settings - I swear I book marked it...

I so have to get back into this fight you guys are having too much fun. Where can you place Allied mortars that end up stuck? Not that I want to repeat I just never noticed anything that looks like such a trap.

@womble makes a good point but you can mitigate that with some experience. The other downside risk is that your calling FO will be KIA/WIA and then you are stuck with the mission as is. Having said that I do this too quite a lot. If I feel I cannot guess what preset length I want I go with maximum and cancel it. I think probably about three quarters of my calls are maximum and then I cancel them or adjust them. It is a very helpful technique. No, I can make maximum call with any of the choices for rate of fire and number of tubes.

Oh but don't forget I am testing to see if the tanks get damaged or destroyed. If I was really commanding the force probably only one or two would actually be taking out - initially at least. After that everyone's move orders get cancelled. I just don't want to set any expectations that setting a mine field guarantees that 10 tanks are going to be immobilized or destroyed...

I started a poll on this topic: How do you play?

I started a poll on this topic: How do you play?

Two recent discussions have been interesting, one even though it should be a poll. Well now we have a poll. Tell us how you play... You can read the discussions here: We-go or Real Time? and Interested on what difficulty people play on.

Come and check out the new modern ladder that started yesterday at theBlitz.org. It is empty right now so you can still be there first. You can find the announcement here: http://www.theblitz.org/message_boards/showthread.php?tid=67572which includes instructions on how to join.

Well her father did. Sounds like he showed leadership so there is a good chance she had the same values. The bottom line is we all face choices every day of what we do. Do we choose to make our communities better? True, we don't often control the big picture we live in but we can control what we do. The Shia doctor chose to make his community better, those Sunni gun men chose to make it worse. Regardless of how all the players arrived in that situation they all had agency and they exercised it for good and ill. Those choices are on them. Period. All of us civilians make those choices too things are just more dramatic during war. So, go forth and use your agency in this world to make it better, where ever you are.

Have you tried it yet? A good force selection is in the eye of the beholder of course. I just found that there is no more really silly things going on anymore.

Nope, no all at gun forces any more, and you will not see tiny forces made up of an entire platoon of air defense guys either.

I don't have the game open in front of me but I can verify later but it sounds like your tanks cannot see the ground. To area target your targeting unit needs to be able to see the ground. What does the target tool text say?

Amazing, I can not count the number of times I played tiny armored battles with automatic force selection. I worked every time for me. Bummer Grimm.Reaper.

I have one in the works too. I think Bill is a head of me though. I don't have any screen shots yet

Go ahead and let the AI choose its own forces! I think you will be pretty pleased. I did it a lot during testing and by release I was not seeing any oddities.

That is awesome news! If you found them snipers effective at a good level then it sounds like things are good.

Also, loading up with everything is probably not the best idea. For instance if you load up a US infantry squad with the Javelin launcher and all the missiles from their Bradley they will tire very quickly and splitting off the AT team might even mean that they can not even jog.

Yeah those BMP3 s are both fearsome to face and scary to be too close too. I tend to play with their infantry leading and bring them up to support when needed. Their have a lot of fire power that is for sure. A note on APS, make sure your infantry give your AFVs some space. The first time I lost most of a squad to an APS system triggering I was very bummed.

Wow. Thanks for sharing. My father is a retired Lt Col of Royal Canadian Regiment. He retired in the mid '90s so served through different times although he was in AFG in 1989 as part of the UN monitoring of the Soviet troop withdrawal. He has told me a few things and I am certain there is more but you have seen a lot. I thank you for your service to.
