You mean, I insert this: https://imgur.com/a/4LIFK6H

Next try. Hm, does not work either. Does anybody have an instruction for Dummies?
-
Thanks for the feedback, I keep trying.

I just wanted to try Imgur and thought, yopu might like this pic from the door to the maintenance shop of the Messerschmitt Museum: <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/4LIFK6H" data-context="false" ><a href="//imgur.com/a/4LIFK6H"></a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

If CM had a First Person mode ...

Be fair guys. The buildings look nice... -
Trying to use real world tactics
StieliAlpha replied to Flibby's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
The issue is: You cannot easily apply text book solutions to RL situations. E.g., have you ever tried to apply a math text book solution to a RL technical issue? Just as in CM, you will quickly find out, that RL is a little more complicated. You may need to gather additional info, make assumptions, simplify things... And now back to @Sgt.Squarehead -
Next Final Blitzkrieg Module Speculation
StieliAlpha replied to Anonymous_Jonze's topic in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
Yep, coming from that region, I would love to see a TF Welborn scenario. As I recall, this was the last larger tank engagement of the war and therefore certainly is some sort of „milestone“. There were one or two scenario attempts for CMx1, but they were not very convincing. Otherwise, I remember a pretty good Northeim campaign for CMx1, which I would love to play with CMFB. And the Harz should offer room for small scale actions in extremely difficult terrain. -
Why won't my halftrack fire?

Ok, uploaded. The clips are not exactly "big screen" quality but should make you greedy enough. And just for the fun of it, I uploaded 2 clips of the Churchill Crocodile in action, too. You may need the VLC Media Player or similar to watch the AVI files. My «normal» Windows player did not want to play them. -

I‘ll try to make a video with a flail Sherman and load it to the Dropbox. Tonight or tomorrow or so.... -

Agreed, the equipment is great. But, at least to my knowledge, there is still very little content for the beautiful stuff. -

And if I recall right, there are even two scenarios for the flail tanks. The VP is a „questionable investment“, more like a collectors item. You don‘t need it, but you have to have it. -
Hm, that‘s interesting. Stupid question: How do you find that stuff? If I search, I find only a small number of series and movies. Say, 50 each. But that’s difficult to judge, because I never found complete lists. Breaking that down to what is of interested for me, I end up with a handful each.

I did not watch it yet, but it looks like a comic book movie (or better:Series). After 3 weeks, I am still no Netflix fan...

In the end, I was not too enthusiastic anymore. The final battle was very far away from the historical account. And there was a funny glitch leading to the battle: The Roman Legions marched from the summer camp at Porta Westfalica (nicely shown on a map) west and planned to attack the Marsii, who lived in the north of Germany and north-west of the summer camp. On their way the Legions turned left (I.e., to the south), just before the battle. But that probably was already part of “the evil plan” to confuse the Legions. No, the series is a quite nice action series with historical background, but nothing more.
-
Yeah, sure. Speaking German I am well aware, what „Nebelwerfer“ means. Though, there is also the claim from Rudolph Nebel, that he developed them and that they were named after him. Anyway, I guess what we all want to see in CM is the „Big Bang“, not the smoke....
-
As bad as it is, travel restrictions have nothing to do with this. In another Great Country they did not stop „very fine people“ to shoot a (quite) peaceful protesters or to drive trucks into crowds.
-
I should have most of Aris‘ mods. Drop me PM line and open a large Dropbox-Folder....
-
Just a wild guess: Can it be tagged, so that it appears only in a correspondingly mod-tagged scenario?
-
And the Nebelwerfer are pretty useless, anyway. The only thing, they are good for is (in my experience), indeed a smoke screen.

Close Assault Tanks
StieliAlpha replied to CanuckGamer's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Yep, before your charge with the „Recon thingy“ I thought so, too. Unfortunately, in that case even 3 teams (one with a Panzerfaust) could not stop it. -
In another scenario, I once had a 500lbs bomb dropped directly in front of a Jagdpanzer. It did not do any damage, but it was an amazing sight. I watched the scene from the Jagpanzer and was surprised by a shaking screen and whiteout for a second or two. Can't quite remember, if even the sound was muted after the "big bang".

Fun fact: Rheinland-Pfalz
StieliAlpha replied to StieliAlpha's topic in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
Well, the region is about right for FB: South of Cologne and Aachen, north of Karlsruhe, east of Luxembourg, west of Frankfurt. Only, that it was not called Rheinland-Pfalz back then. -

I found it on a QB map. Not quite sure what the name is. I played against @JoMc67, so he might know. Anyway, a small map. Two minor VP areas diagonally apart on hills in north and south corners and in the center a valley with a small village and a major VP area. Wooded areas left and right of the village.
