Marco, do you have a Mac or PC?
-
Well done Marco! 1 x 88mm flak gun terminated...I wonder if there any more?
-
Chappy,
Was that a picture of you dressed in your unit garb in the upper right corner of Kohl's post about the Canadian mod for this battle?
You didn't look too happy after your wild weekend.

Hahaha good one...fortunately I am only 50 and no grey hairs yet
-
The long weekend is over, the beer drinking has come to an unfortunate end, and the merriment and frolicking will have to wait until next weekend.....
Back in action and eager to see what has transpired over the weekend
-
OK guys, this commander is heading out for 2-3 days of beer drinking and merriment with my lass....hopefully you have a good start! Back Monday. Cheers!
-
Just be sure I've got this right ... the dropbox now contains the battle file 002. This is (?) the file that TIGER67 is using for his setup, and I am to await file 003 to appear from him to use for my side ... correct?
Correct!
-
sorry i did not understand well the game procedure, i got the dropbox invitation by Phil and inside the is a file san donato002 that is for the german side till now all ok, but what i have to do now? i have to wait that the german side to make the setup? i think so but i dont know who is? so i can not contact him if it is all ok?
sorry for the question
Marco: that is the original file for the German player...he will do his setup and first move, and it becomes file #003 which will be placed in the dropbox for you. Then you open it, setup, and do your first turn...and that becomes file #004. Simple eh?
-
Yep, ready and waiting ... have accepted drop box share invite for battle T2 hex 3,6 ...
Hope this isn't TOO dumb a question, but ... the map doesn't appear to have hex identifiers on it, and I'm not sure which of the 2 battles (ie excluding San Donato) shown - and which stack of our units - is mine??
Well hello Phil! If you scroll back far enough through this forum topic, you will find the good map with identifiers.
Your stack is the topmost one of the three.
Here is what you have: B Coy, RCR, two troops of tanks (6 tanks), a troop of halftracks from 4PLDG (recce), arty (25 lbers) and the Regiment's pioneer platoon (treat them nice! I used to be Pioneer Platoon Comd for 2 years) At some point the pioneers are released for bridge construction - Koh will let you know the details.
Your tanks/vehicles cannot cross the muddy river banks at this point, although they can provide sp fire, so we need a bridge. It is imperative that you cross the river with your infantry so that the pioneers/engineers can build that bridge.
From recce, you are facing some AT guns and some infantry...thats all we know
Good luck! Any other questions? Drop me a line

Observing Commanders!
Just a reminder guys. If you are viewing someone else's battle, do NOT hit the red end turn button at the end of the turn. Just select quit game instead.
Thanks!
-
Thanks for the quick response Koh.
-
Wow, looks like Chappy's boys are not wasting any time. They are moving to contact, ready for action.
Are y'all calling in the artillery for softening up purposes before crossing the river?
Heinrich505
Of course! The arty doesn't seem to work so well in the campaign level software and is much better used within a CM game
-
PhilM are you out there? lol

Marco! You will have your 4PLDG HQ group, one troop of ACs and carriers, one troop of tanks (reduced to 2 tanks since one was eliminated by a flak gun on your advance there), your AT troop with 6 lbers, and a mortar troop.
The enemy in San Donato is at least one flak gun (88?) and some infantry.
Your mission is to eliminate all of the flak guns. I don't care about taking San Donato, but those guns will be a threat to our flank later in the campaign. Your force is not configured for a house-to-house fighting slog against a lot of infantry. Do not get entangled. I need you and your boys for later. Again, the flak guns must be eliminated. The enemy infantry in San Donato can just be picketed.
Good luck!
-
Kuderian: You will have A Coy, 2 x troops tanks (6 Shermans), 4.2" mortars, 4PLDG recce elements in front (AC's and carriers) and an engineer platoon (although at some point they are released for bridge construction - Koh will let you know the details)
Your tanks cannot cross the river at this point, although they can provide sp fire, so we need a bridge. It is imperative that you cross the river with your infantry so that the engineers can build that bridge.
From recce, you are facing two units of AT guns and some infantry
Good luck!
-
Cool!
Invite for Hex 3,7 accepted.
Just need my opponent's email address to send invite to?
And are there are planes on the Allied side?
We have a random chance each turn for either no planes, recce, fighter bomber, and both. This turn we got recce
-
that's good!!!
ps- a game qestion, i will receive the map to play or i have to unload somewhere?
Koh will give you a file to add to your scenario/battle list in your CMFI game....just open it up, make sure everything is there, link up with your opponent and do your setup/1st turn moves. We don't know your opponent yet
-
Looks like 3 assaults guys.
PhilM and Kuderian - you guys have the company assaults with armour, engineering and indirect fire support
Marco2manzo - you have the probe/assault on San Donato
-
Hex 3,6 next to the river.....since that hex is coming to play very soon
-
very good! before I do turn #2 orders...do I get any air support? fingers crossed
-
11 to 4.....hmmm we have the numbers anyway
I see that damn mjkerner is still around lol
-
Many thanks!!!!
-
It's actually grey, and that is the 3rd Division - the boys who landed on Juno Beach at D-Day. I have that mod installed now also and was hoping for a red patch mod somewhere....any chance you got a mod artist on standby? lol
-
sweet! and you got the red divisional patch and the RCR badge!
-
There are no Mac games that I am aware of that can do battles on the same level.
Hmmm no arty buddies, just infantry and armour
