    Panzer Lehr Campaign - Spoilers

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    Well I had 2 Panthers get an epic number of kills near the fountain, but 1 ran out of ammo eventually and the other was immobilized 200 yds back. All other armor of mine was dead either due to enemy fire or my stupidity

    That left my column of halftracks waiting in the background, but sadly still 3 allied tanks blocking the exit path.

    I wish I could have won it 1st time around without knowing the enemy disposition, but I have to go replay it. I want revenge!!!

    Last Defense, Valley of Trouble, and CHANCE ENCOUNTER!!

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    I was never much of a CMAK or CMBO player, so what's the story behind these classic missions with such a devoted cult following like Chance Encounter or Valley of Trouble? What are the situations of those scenarios, and what about them made them so near and dear to players' hearts?

    Broadsword,

    In the case of 'Last Defense', 'Valley of Trouble', and 'Chance Encounter'..

    I would say that there is nothing particularly unique and groundbreaking, other than the fact that these were the ONLY maps available to us when we were waiting for CMBO to come out.

    And as such, the result was a common experience, and a source of nostalgia... Also, it was our FIRST taste of the Combat Mission magic.

    You will probably be underwhelmed with playing them after hearing the hype, but I think this is what is behind it, at least for me...

    If you haven't played the Devilss Descent Campaign ... DO SO!

    Just finished the campaign; I had a great time, thank you so much!.

    I liked the village with the church, it felt very real, and not like a "map"

    I had a thought for you if youre doing a german campaign and working on dialog and backstory...

    Read, or re-read All Quiet on the Western Front. Its a quick read, and although its WW1, it gives a great internal monologue, and daily interactions in an infantry squad; just the sort of thing that could inspire some good briefings

    Thanks again!

    A lot of old timers coming back

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Greets to all the old lost souls coming back into the forums. Warpy, still got the bunny like the one Rommel had? Foobs! Lawyer! Next time can you take Joebob with you?

    Well I'm glad to be here!

    We would have take JoeShaw with us on our Battlefront Sabbatical, but I dont think he is fit for anywhere else.

    So where do I get a game on here now?

    It used to be the Madmatt's CMHQ; Im scared to go in the 'pool. I was afraid it was still here, but its gotten even worse in there... I dont think they are even speaking english anymore. Its some weird scottish accent-monty pythonese grognard hybrid. Cant understand a word of it...
