HistoryBuff1962

Thanks for the responses, guys.I suppose it may sound like whining but it hardly seems fair that the player has to PAY for foxholes. Any infantryman of any of the armies involved was capable of making some sort of foxhole with even the most simple and crude tools available. To this day you can see simple rock cairns on the Tunisian battlefields constructed by troops when the ground was too rocky. I don't mind paying for trenches or bunkers-these represent substantial investment of time and effort by the troops. Oh, well. I was also unaware of the elevation limits mentioned by Lanzfeld. While the Panzerschreck had bigger back blast than the American Bazooka it was copied from, the Panzerfaust, to my knowledge, did not. There is film footage of women and elderly Volksturm recruits being taught to shoot Panzerfaust's with one hand,by grinning Wehrmacht instructors who are obviously trying to put the trainees at ease about the lack of serious recoil/backblast.

Hi. I just purchased the complete version of CMFI. In the 1st generation of the CM games I could decide whether or not to give foxholes to my troops during the setup phase of a generated battle. Maybe I missed it in the online manuals, but I can't seem to find any foxhole commands or options. Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated.
