Well I do hope Michael pops in again at some point - starting to get worried again.....
-
Me too, screenies would be great. Although the AAR was a bit difficult to follow it sounded like a very interesting one. Thank you!
-
Great scenario - really enjoyed it both times I played through - very close firefights and lots of tactical possibilities.
How many AI plans are there?
-
No idea what's going on there?
-
It seemed difficult from the german's perspective from my point of view too. Personally speaking I wouldn't have had so many
positioned in open view. Having said that, you would have only needed one tank KO'd to have really made a difference.
In any case, I have never done a PBEM, so who am I to say...
It has been an education, thank you!
-
Yup, second mission is a case in point - two spitfires, staggered arrival time, one spotter, short time limit.
I think Paper Tiger's campaigns are simply incredible, and I would so like to play through this one (when real life gets a bit calmer...).
Casualties do tend to be horrendous though, and I have been guilty of repeat playthroughs.
-
It would be helpful if there was an intermediate stage (ducked down), as often shown in Fury.
-
Road to Nijmegen second mission - the two spitfires don't become available at the same time, and I think there is only one spotter capable of calling them in - 13 minute delay and short time span - As you used to be able to call multiple from one spotter something needs fixing here I think?
-
Wow! These are really great.
-
Fantastic work. It would be great for the program to be able to assign icons to the various arms, rather than having to do it manually. Any likelihood of that happening?

Good looking website! Do you want scenarios that are not yet on the BFC repository (ie completely new ones)? I could upload the existing stuff I made for CMRT (CMRT Firebrigade von Saucken, CMRT Fester Platz Polozk, etc. ) I may also have something residing on my harddrive that is as of yet unreleased, yet already playtested (CMRT Gates of Warsaw Redux) that may be eligible for uploading and branded as semi new. A bit pressed for time right now, because I am knee deep in making bulge stuff
But again, looking good.
Gates of Warsaw is definitely worth uploading - I check from time to time to see if you've uploaded. I had great fun with it.
-
+1 for Fulda here too.
-
These are looking very mean!
-
Ooh, nice tactic!
-
Just had a go - first time playing as Germans but have played the US a few times.
A few thoughts:
I would generally leave your men to aim for themselves rather than target places/troops. Particularly at night time - you don't want them to get surprised.
Try to place your men at angles to the likely assault - this should mean not too many enemy troops can target you when you open fire.
Keep a reserve back behind the front line to be able to redeploy quickly.
Have your FO use a cover arc - they are good spotters, and hopefully should not get spotted.
Don't be afraid to close-assault tanks if necessary - they won't be able to spot well as it is getting dark.
Good luck - hope you do better next time!

There's this, too:

Also, I have about 17 scenarios all-but made using the VP, which should be available ... soon

Wow! Definitely looking forward to this. Thanks a lot.
-
Be prepared - I've only tried the german campaign, and one of the scenarios is a pig!
-
It would be good to get bfc's view on this.
-
NPye these really are great!
-
Goody goody! Looking forward to any updates you can manage!
-
Great news - wow what a bunch of guys you are!!

It seems like a simple solution to this whole mess is to give a new valid "non-Mac Store" serial number to all owners of the Mac Store version. A simple proof of purchase would be required but that should be possible through the Mac Store or with an old email showing the purchase. It would be good PR for Battlefront plus the obvious possibility of selling more CMBN modules and the vehicle pack.
Have you contacted BF through a support ticket?
Yup, agree with that. I almost bought the Mac Store version myself.
-
OK, may be this is in place already, but is there a key (combination) to select the last waypoint for the selected unit? It would be very handy for quick adjustments to waypoints...
-
Thanks for the tip. I am sure that there are lots of other command combinations that I am missing out on. I saw one on one of Chris's videos - Hide plus cover arc, which I think he said would mean they would disregard the hide command if enemy in that area?

I may have got the wrong end of the stick but you can already click any section of a movement path and it selects that unit?
