  1. It is disappointing to find out that you have encountered the infamous bridge bug during this mission. Although sadly it comes as no surprise. It will still be quite some time before I take on the "Spearhead", and knowing my old noddle I will have forgotten about this post.
  2. I still refer to the site by the old name.
  3. No. When I buy a game I just create word documents for both the campaigns, and the battles. If I then find something on Green as jade that interests me I can just insert into my list. Back in the days of CM1 I kept everything in a note pad.
  4. Of course, those two weren't the only ones to kill tigers. Bungalow Bill did it as well, according to Johnnie Lenin and the Bolshevik Beat Boys. Anyway back the campaign. It is a tough one, but I enjoyed it.
  5. I've always played chronologically ever since Beyond Overlord.
  6. Lizzie Saxe-Coburg und Gotha and Phil the Greek enjoyed killing tigers.
  7. "give me a poke". It's lucky that Frankie Howerd's ghost doesn't play CM
  8. It's called "The Bridge". And I think that we all know which bridge it refers to.
  9. As has been explained to you above. You can't use a panzerfaust on a tank that is outside of the faust's range. Have you actually read the manual?
  10. I didn't do German at school but I think the label reads. "Don't be a plonker. Always read the manual before using whilst playing Combat Mission." Okeh, so I'm paraphrasing just a tad.
  11. Are only as idiotic as the person giving them orders.
  12. Micro-management is part and parcel of the game. Just playing the demo for Red Thunder tells you that. It is a bit difficult to understand why what happens in the Seelow Heights battle would come as a surprise. It's a struggle moving a large force of tanks across a flood plain with few roads. But, that is what the Red Army had to do.
  13. All valid questions. If vehicles "unfailingly" do stupid things i.e. constantly, would any of us get past a demo, without deciding this game isn't for us?
  14. My only guess could be that it is because they only carry AT weapons, whereas Tank Hunter teams normally carry sub machine guns as well.
  15. Not everything went smoothly in Mission 2. Beware of gravel, it's almost as bad a mud.
  16. That's a good question. I'd also be interested to know in which mission/s this "bug" occurred.
  17. Maybe a more detailed explanation of this, perhaps with screenshots would help other forumites.
  18. From memory I think that you are right about that road. But, it's a very hazy memory as I've only been north of the border once. And that was in 1977. My USatian girlfriend likes Scotland so perhaps a return won't be far off. Okeh, it's back to the mud of the Reichswald for me.
  19. What bazooka squad? My entire force consists of two MGs and two HQs and nothing else.
  20. The photo that I posted yesterday was of a sniper from 6th Airborne Division, it was taken in mid-January 45.
