Goddamnit and I just bought Rising Storm yesterday
Same here! Good aspect: plenty to do between banzai charges and war in mainland Italy.

Well it´s monday morning here, lets start the F5 rampage!

Interesting read, thanks!

Fausts CAN NOT be fired from inside buildings.
Whoops! I stand corrected!
-
No, panzerfausts and AT rifle grenade (that can be fired from inside a building) can cause some trouble to tanks.

This PSW 223 got hit so hard, the commander cap flew away!:
-
Nope! It's a Panzer II Lynx.

Just finished my first PBEM game ever, it was awesome.
We played La Fière causeway (june 6th), this scenario is really nice. To the author (Michael Snyder) if you ever read this : Thanks for making this scenario!
!!!Spoilers!!!!
My opponent tank running on an AT mine:
After they remained hidden to let the enemy approach my troops open fire as the germans are trying to cross the bridge:
After playing "catch me if you can" this panzer was knocked out by a bazooka team, the crew is escaping.
(a lot of luck for me on this action I must admit):

Can we get back to posting CMBN screenshots and stop discussing JK's thread derailments?
Agreed, let's stop the OT fest.
-
Getting ready to play a scenario (loop something, cant remember). I hit the start Button to discover two 88 with LOF on my tanks. It was a long minute.

Ok thanks for your inputs guys! Much appriciated!
-
Ok thanks for your reply!
My question was : if CMFI runs smoothly on my computer, will CMBN + CW + 2.0 also run smoothly, I am not looking for a documented performance comparision, I am more looking for what users of both feel on that matter.
-
Hi all,
I was thinking about getting battle Normandy + the Commonwealth addon and the 2.0 upgrade and my question is : how does it run compared to Fortress Italy?

Lordhedgwich , I can't see your pics.
few pics from my latest game:

Thanks for the advice all! had lots of fun practicing on how to use the engineers!
Random screens:
My first kill ever with a bazooka team:
Not just Arabs. Happens in Afghanistan too. A lot. All warlords have their own little boys.there's a documentary about that, search "the dancing boys of Afghanistan" by Najibullah Quraishi on youtube.

If you use engineers to blow a new entrance into a house the units on the other side of the wall get pinned and slaughtered by the engineers. Works best when the wall you blow through has no windows. It is also a very good idea not to move along streets on the streets themselves with your infantry but to have engineers blow holes through adjunct buldings and move inside the buildings, from building to building.
Ok thanks!I'll try that, I started a new game and this time I bought engineers
Perfect time to practice. I went back in my fault of saved threads and found this one:http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=82927
Which is from the shock force forum but it is the seminal work on the subject
and this one:

Have fun practicing.
Thanks for the links! interesting read, now I'll have to practice!
if my practice goes well, I'll post the screenshots here

If you have enough HE shells in your tanks, just keep on firing at the most important and/or heaviest occupied buidings untill they collapse. (If you don't see the enemy, use AREA FIRE.) It takes a while, but can do the job nicely.
If you do not have enough HE, don't attack untill you secured the area around the building and get enough troops who are not too tired. Giving covering fire (again, if you don't see them, use TARGET AREA) and attacking from at least two different sides should do the job.
Don't be like me, much too impatient, but take your time.
Have fun.
Ok thanks! it always comes down to fire power superiority i guess. I'm also too impatient, which likely often lead me to rush infantry without setting proper bases of fire leading to the poor results i know.
I have a farm full of enemy to secure in the game I'm playing, perfect thing for practice!

Sherman providing cover to my infantry:
Do you have tactics and techniques when it comes to cleaning building with infantry? I always loose a lot of infantry when I have to capture towns/farms etc...
My infantry always get slaughtered when entering building with enemies inside.

The aftermath of an allied attack:

Yeah, Shermans are mostly ahead of the curve in armour tactical effectiveness at this point in the war in the Med.
Yes, one of my Sherman destroyed almost all the axis armor alone in this scenario, but it was a combination of luck (all axis armor rushed at the same place) and a good firing position (I like to think that
)I love that scenario.Me too but I found it quite difficult for the noob I am (CMFI is my first real strategy game) I'm starting to use my tanks not so bad but I have trouble with efficient use of infantry, so cleaning Corleone was quite difficult and it ended with 2 Shermans destroyed at very short range in the narrow streets and huge losses for the infantry.
At the end of the scenario 4 out of 5 Shermans were burning, the town was far from secured and a hidden Pak was pounding my troops in the Church...

I have been playing the game for a few days and I'm quite amazed, few screens from my latest battle:
Axis tanks disabled by one of my Shermans
A Knocked out Semovente with 3 disabled antitank gun in the back ground
Battle went well until I had to clean the city, trying to flank an antitank gun this Sherman was destroyed at short range by another gun I had not spotted:
French Graveyards.
in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

I think each french region has its customs regarding that matter.
Living in the South, It´s common to see family mausoleum, but there are smaller graves as well ( a simple cross, or a tombstone).
