    Five in total although 2 are mirrored. 4 FB and 1 BN. Just finished a SF2. What do you think of CW @Vacillator?

    That's what I did. Go to the various opponent finder threads like this one: https://www.thefewgoodmen.com/thefgmforum/forums/combat-mission-opponent-finder.451/

    Sounds like you may be in the situation where you need to do a little more reconning by fire?

    Combat Mission:Drone Wars

    So effectively you could simulate that by doing away with FoW.
  15. Probus
    Well for one, Marines and a lot of drones, besides regulars (and irregulars). Totally new drone system is prolly required.

    @BFCElvis just started a thread about jeeps that includes their role in reconnaissance:

    That's funny. We were just talking about jeeps and reconnaissance over in the PBEM thread:

    I often use a jeep in this fashion. To probe enemy lines and use it's speed as a defence. Then open up on any positions that fire at the jeeps with overwatching tanks. It works 1/2 the time. I didn't realize it was 'gamey'. I am also notorious for using the Recon by Fire tactic. I'm attacking a town in CMBN currently and one of the first things I did was hose down the church bell tower.

    What is y'alls opinion of pre-planned artillery not in setup zones but on routs of advance? For instance a road through the woods that you are planning on going down or suspect the enemy is going to use to advance to your location? Not exactly 'recon by fire' but could be a tactic to break up ambushes or nail possible convoy routs. Would that be considered too 'gamey'? The situation I'm considering is a ME in which a small town is the central battle zone. So wouldn't it be wise to blast all the roads into the town with pre-planned artillery?

    Did Ukraine really do this or is this just propaganda?

    Does anyone know of any gridded map squares for Final Blitzkrieg? I know there's some for CMBN and CMSF2.
  35. Probus
    I wouldn't mind being able to level some 155mm artillery at Jar Jar.
  36. Probus
    Nope. Engineer squad, then an infantry squad to cover them (that hopefully stops before the mines). Then the flails clear the mines. Then the rest of the column follow the flails. (tanks and mechanized infantry). Twice now my infantry were following too close behind and blundered into the mines. I've gotta be more careful.
