Facade Troop Scenario
ridethe415 replied to ridethe415's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
**********************Spoilerz************ To be honest, the AI's attack procedure killed a lot of the Brits. as they ran straight for the bridge, they lost a lot of men. All of their jeeps were destroyed because they kept driving straight up to the bank of the river and opening fire, retreating and repeating the same thing. That being said, anytime the green troops received fire, they were pinned. -
Just finished Facade Troop scenario. Kreigsmarine, Sicherungs, Straflegionares and SS units in one scenario. Green troops can be fun! :mad: Unless BFC ventures into sea battles, the screen below is a rare one.

CM:BN Market Garden Mo Betta on da Mac

Same here, but it does look amazing. 27 inches of MG is pretty awesome! -
Interesting video showing a map of Europe, day by day, showing who occupied which countries. The scale of the eastern front is really remarkable.

Thank you for putting this together. I know it takes time and effort. Your writing is concise and to the point. I intend to attempt to implement your concepts to good use. -
Annoying, unbelievable tank spotting

Too much work. And if it were an issue to BFC, they'd fix it. I merely presented something I thought unrealistic. Effectiveness is relative. Really. -

This is my main point. Previously to this event there were panthers in front of these shermans and they had engaged each other. I would think the panthers would be the larger, higher priority threat. I realize that a good TC would be on constant alert, observing 360 degrees. But...I just found it too easy for the TC to spot the shreck. -

I find it hard to believe that the TC would be able to discern what weapons these guys are holding. They hadn't fired the schreck yet so I imagine he just saw to guys sitting there. -

True, but they had approached the tank by slowly advancing up a slope, [which you can't really see in the screen shots] pausing, slowly moving. I was trying to have them view the tank while just below the crest of the small hill. I THOUGHT I was doing everything right. Plus, did the Sherman really have to use it's main gun? Wouldn't the coax be enough? -
I attempt to sneak a schreck team behind a Sherman, who is being distracted, evidently not enough, in his front by other infantry. Note the turrent FACING THE FRONT The shreck team gets that uneasy feeling in their stomachs because for some unknown reason, during the crashing dunn of battle, the tank commander decides to rotate his turret to his rear. It's just his sixth sense, he can't really SEE anyone behind him...RIGHT? OMG...is he really firing at.... "Gott!!" [Honest, that's what they mumbled] %$@$#@. [Me, verbatim...] How can this possibly happen? The shreck team is wearing CAMO fer crying outloud, were hunting...etc etc.

The love interest is INSIDE the panzer...when he pops out, after being victorious, his manliness will make them swoon. -

Uber [chill] tank crew. Bailed out of tank and getting back into the fight, while sporting their Dr Dre ubersized headseats. -
These too?

ridethe415 replied to noob's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Your AAR is really well done. Keep it coming. One of the things I enjoy about CM (sometimes) is the randomness of any battle. One minute your truppen are running across a field seemingly half way to Berlin, and then all hell breaks loose. I feel for A Coy right now. -

If it were real life, a sample size of one would be enough for the crew -

Well I just lost a Tiger from an M10 at ~837M (frontal hit) in The Forest of Wild Beasts. So something is being represented.
