    Let's talk about the Road to Nijmegen

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    I've been playing this one and I just completed the "For Those About to Die" battle. Minor defeat . . . and that was after the second time trying it. Seems like an impossible task. Oh, maybe I could get it right the third time, but where's the fun in that? The first time I tried it I got cut to ribbons in short order.

    Seems designed to fail. Attacking a numerically superior foe with no support and having to move alllllllllll the way across the map with little time to do so.

    If your intent is to take all the objectives, yes i think Paper Tiger made this goal very diffcult to achieve.. But if you read the briefing carefully it gives you some hints on what you should do..

    First, look at the points allocated for each objective :

    - Windmill (50vps)

    - Hotel (150vps)

    - Plasmolen West (100vps)

    - Plasmolen East (50vps)

    The hotel gives you as much points as the two plasmolen objs and the windmill insures you a victory (200vps > 150vps)

    Then look at the bonus points. You get 100vps for preserving your force but only 50vps for destroying ennemy units.. Plus the briefing tells you that it is more important to preserve your men because you'll need them later.

    So just go for the first two objectives and keep your casualties low, that's what I did. Got a victory on the first try.

    New player, where to start?

    No matter the game you choose to start with, I can only advise you to watch the Combat Mission Tactics Episode videos made by Armchair General. These videos helped me a lot to understand how to use military tactics in the game

    You can find them on youtube, here is the first episode ;)http://youtu.be/OZ6dDlqye9Q

    I think Battle for Normandy is a good first choice because it contains the tutorial campaigns plus The Road to Montebourg wich is one of the best campaigns and not so "hard" one. But it's also a lot of bocage fighting, close range engagements .. can be a little boring after a while

    They are both nice, but this one is a beauty. Nice camera eye.

    Thanks sburke

    Very nice indeed. Are you using a tree, ground cover and bocage mod? If so which one?

    Thanks

    Yeah i'm using Aris mods (terrain, vehicles, dust and smoke, explosions ..) and the Rambler's trees and bocage mod. Thanks to them by the way :)

    I uploaded the shots in photobucket so there are little alterations to the picture (increased the contrast a little bit and used a "high definiton" tool)

    Here is the screenshot without any touch
