Preach on brother green

That would actually work much better in real time than WEGO. In WEGO the enemy may run through the kill zone in 60 seconds.
I highly doubt that. Unless its an armored target infantry will instantly be pinned or retreat once it starts taking fire and either way it plays into your hand.
Like I said, I'm not a completely seasoned vet but for the most part any time my units have taken fire they eventually get pinned and or retreat.
This would make a good project maybe I will test different ambush tactics ect.
-
I have never tried to set up a proper ambush but couldn't you set up a good ambush with to tools already provided?
Most people play WeGo anyway so couldn't you have an ambush set up to where as the units closest to where the enemy are coming hide. while ones further down the line have target arcs set. Then once the enemy comes into contact with those using the cover arc unhide those that are hidden at the end of the turn.
Like I said, I'm not a seasoned vet but that makes sense to me

Posted there yesterday and got 14 looks with no response. Sorry for posting here but I'm really looking for a couple games.
If interested please email me a game.
-
Hello, its been awhile since I have been able to play. My computer took a dump on me and I just got back up and running.
I prefer to use dropbox and H2HH when playing games but will just exchange emails if your not up to setting those tools up.
Pm me here or email me, which can both be found in my profile.
Any size battle is also fine I have no preference to which side I play just want to play.

Over 100 views and no joy
I can help you learn if you dont have the rules

Forgive me if this is a bit off topic, but due to my gaming laptop being down until parts come in, I was wondering if anyone would like to play "Panzer Leader" with me on Vassal.
I will be available this weekend to play. If interested please email me or pm me, my contact info is in my profile.
If you have ANY interest at all please pm me.

Not trying to be rude... but did you bother to read the manual?? Alot of the basics are covered with tips in the tutorial missions.
Can't believe no one mentioned to actually look at the UI to see your units status... It tells you everything there as far as morale damage C2.
Use target arcs to cover a specific Cone you want to shoot at or hold shift while using it and it will make a radius of cover.
check these out too the tactics series:

@Jaksteri
You know I read like the first page of this crap and cant take no more.
I'll give you the measly 10 dollars just to SHUT THE F@$# UP!!!!

How long have you been playing battlefront products .... especially combat missions series? Probably not long otherwise you would get it.
CMBN is made by a very small group of people compared to other big companies. The life cycle of this game will probably go at least 5 years if not 10 due to continued work, patches, modules etc.
You purchasing a 10 dollar upgrade is at least for me an act of good will knowing that this game will be continually worked on and supported for years to come.
Would you rather have a months subscription service or no support after a year or 2 of the game coming out.
Do use search, its your friend. Then you can avoid the inevitable SH!# Storm your about to endure from people already annoyed answering this question.

Id rather like to see the planes actually modeled instead of phantom killers
-
Much can be said for using hide command for unused forces. They look for better cover and are trying not to be seen. And next time you hear a plane move units you have grouped together.... i try not to have units grouped together period.
Also I always split into teams and do my own maneuvering instead of assault command. It gives you much more flexibility and control in how your assault actually is executed. Like others have stated. Plot your movements with pause commands and target areas of known enemy positions.
Also i believe its been stated before that if you use fast command your troops will most likely not engage and charge to waypoint. And as you go from fasts to slow they become more likely to stop and engage. That being said when performing bounding overwatch movements. Makes sure to use the fast command for your bounds.
Bounding Overwatch for the win...

I'm playing KG Engel right now. Amazing job, especially with the maps. I'm hard to impress but the designer of this campaign has exceeded my expectations. BF should hire him to do battles and campaigns for upcoming releases.
I dont know when they did, but i did a fresh install of windows and cmbn and noticed this campaign was included with it. Not sure when it was added but maybe battlefront knows quality when they see it.
-
From what i understand there is no issues.
If your planning on waiting for next module because u dont wanna buy 2.0 from what i understand it you will pay more for module. If you get module after purchasing 2.0 you will have that discounted
-
Here's my theory.
Fortress Italy didn't sell quite as much as BF had hoped and they realized that many of us are just waiting for the CMBN patch. So they decided to wait it out instead of releasing it only a couple months after FI.
I don't think thats a very sound theory. Cause the reason why a lot of people didn't get CI is cause they have no interest in the Italian theatre.
I was under the impression that the 2.0 was to be out a month or so after CI.
I bought CI and am patiently waiting for 2.0 wtf?
-
Its a flight sim.... i dont think they were too concerned with the ground effects... but even so the ground explosions are nicer then what we have.
-
The only thing graphically that I'm not happy with is basically the explosions effects/fires etc. Also the way the world is represented as far as the map and the horizon. Unless your all the way zoomed in you always see the gap between the edge of the map and the horizon.
I know that they will have a true fire effect coming in the future and maybe more enhancements. I dont know how or if they would ever be able to fix the edge of map issue. I guess im so used to play FPS that its a bit weird to adjust to the world map.
I would like to see more explosions effects like these ....

That's interesting. Personally, for co-op, I wouldn't be interested in a lobby at all. I figure that if I'm going to be playing with and against a bunch of folk for better than a year, the last demographic I want to be doing it with is random unknown folks in an anonymous online lobby. To me, that sounds like a perfect recipe for abandoned games.
But seeing how relatively small our community is i would highly doubt people in the lobby would be that anonymous. Plus if implemented correctly if you had an opponent you didnt know you could easily see their dnf%
Also after awhile groups of players always end up knowing whos legit and whos not.
A lobby would just make it easier to discuss whos playing who, rules of engagement and seeing whos online and ready to go.

You guys aren't used to the new features yet and not taking full advantage. Remember you can assign groups by number now. So you can make A company 1 and the platoons 234, then B company 5 and platoons 678 for instance.
Also dont forget if you nothing selected use the -/+ keys the first to come up is your Highest command. Alot easier to hit the buttons real quick then having to click individual flags.

Question... im working on a lil project of my own. Where was Marco able to obtain all of the units stats. For instance armour values penetration/range ratios etc?

Create a new game install name it CMFI make the installation directory this
C:\Users\"Your Name"\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission\Fortress Italy\Game Files
Your usual dropbox folder... and there it is. works just fine.
Sorry i miss informed.. this is the correct path C:\Users\"Your Name"\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission\Fortress Italy

C:\Users\"Your Name"\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission\Fortress Italy\Game Files

Green as Jade is correct I made a mistake on my previous post you point it at the combat mission's C:\Users\[Your Name]\Documents\Battlefront\Combat Mission\Fortress Italy directory and it works.
