    I'm currently playing a PBEM on the fantastic River of Tears map (an amazing piece of work), which has so far been a showcase of things exploding. A Bradley spots a T-90... "Fire the laser cannon!" APS ain't gonna help you now!
  2. Chudacabra
    Wow! That is quite a map. Thanks for taking the time to make it!

    I've been busy with work, but just got started on the third mission and it is a tough one so far. The map is wonderful. So far I think this is possibly the finest CM campaign I've played. Amazing work as usual! Now if we can just get a George MC CMBS campaign...

    Count me in for playtesting!

    A few shots from a recently concluded Lights, Camera & Action PBEM My star unit... One of many... An amount of destruction befitting the Eastern Front... "It used to be so quiet here." Mean machines... Overrun mortars...

    Great! I really appreciate this level of detail. One minor suggestion is to perhaps make this very explicit in the first briefing. I just finished the second mission and fared quite well outside of early infantry loses. Let's see how the third mission treats me.
  8. Chudacabra
    The second battle is a tough one. I was a bit careless with my infantry, but still have all my tanks. I would probably prefer more infantry over tanks as reinforcements, maybe some flamethowers for good measure.
  9. Chudacabra
    Well, you can just use your mouse to scroll around the map. The controls for units are fairly complex, but not exactly rocket science. The demo scenarios are both great, give those a shot.

    I'm nearly done the first battle and it's really great so far. A wonderful, detailed map as usual with a well-balanced force at your disposal. I wouldn't recommend any changes so far.
  11. Chudacabra
    Perhaps it has covered elsewhere (I searched, I tried, I failed!), but I'm interested in a breakdown between the different Russian tanks in CMBS: T-72B3, T-90A, and T-90AM (AKA "The Good Morning Tank"). Particularly in a QB, I'm wondering if it's better to buy more T-72's or better T-90's.
  12. Chudacabra
    Hmm, I think I would be interested in a large QB, but I'm not entirely sure how well suited this map is to H2H play. I think the lack of Russian tanks on the far side would make things very difficult if the Ukrainians fielded an armour heavy force. It may just be a map fit for a excellent scenario in my view, but I will certainly watch a DAR if one comes about.
  13. Chudacabra
    This looks great! Do you have any restrictions on the armoured units you can field? I imagine the Russians will be at somewhat of a disadvantage without being able to get tanks to the far bank.
  14. Chudacabra
    Ditto. But I think I've drawn a fair share of blood!
  15. Chudacabra
    I think it's probably the most Starcraft-like battle I've played in CM. It feels very gamey, BUT it's been really fun and challenging, and my battles are still sort of up in the air. I've certainly made my fair share of sloppy mistakes (too much movement without fire is very bad). There's a certain wackiness to it that I enjoy, although at the same time I'm immensely glad that CM offers a vast range of well-designed scenarios.

    I just played through Operation Relentless Fury and it is extremely tough. I managed to get all the objectives, but my more Ukrainian force got annihilated by BTRs on the way out. My other force got stuck in some ditches with a tank covering their exit zone.
  17. Chudacabra
    I prefer CMFI over CMRT. While I like RT, I don't enjoy playing as the Russians all that much and generally preferred the early war Eastern front scenarios from CMx1. I like CMFI because the forces are fun, and the maps generally provide a lot more variety than just bogs and fields.
  18. Chudacabra
    If you're looking for larger scenarios, Lights, Camera & Action is great fun. Bridgehead at Kharalyk is also great as a medium to large scenario. Going to Town is a very challenging urban fight on a small map (I wish CMBS included more urban battles). The Russian campaign is also particularly good. I think Crossing the Dneiper might be the best single-player battle I've played in any CM game. It's at least the most cinematic. Some of the rebels and Ukrainian battles, like Debaltseve Devils, are good too if you're looking for more scrappy forces
  19. Chudacabra
    Have you tried the CMBS demo? I think CMBS is my favourite CMx2 game, but a well designed battle in any CM game (particularly when fought against a human opponent) is what makes the series interesting. The Russian campaign is also particularly good if you're looking for single player.
  20. Chudacabra
    This looks like a great battle. Is it available for download?
  21. Chudacabra
    I would definitely pay for more scenarios for any CMx2 games. I was incredibly impressed with the Russian CMBS campaign and would love to see more of that caliber from Battlefront.
  22. Chudacabra
    One thing I would expect in a conflict against NATO is a much greater number of ATGMs than is represented in the game. The anti-tank capabilities of a Russian infantry platoon are unfortunately rather lacking.
  23. Chudacabra
    Yet again, a great DAR on both sides!
  24. Chudacabra
    I too will sign up, but my account needs to be approved.

    Sorry there's no sound. An Abrams takes on most of a T-90 company at close range.
