What scenario are you playing?

Downfall: Enjoying the module?
Warts 'n' all replied to Myles Keogh's topic in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
I think that I may have automatically assumed I was getting 3in Mortars because their HQ is on the map. Anyway they're not shown on the Tactical Map amongst the reinforcements. So I doubt that they will put in an appearance. I also have to hope that my fly boys don't bomb my men. But, it has happened before. -

The US "Spearhead" campaign will be next up for me. I'm looking forward to less mud, less woodland, and poorer quality German troops. -

I'm not if anyone else is taking on "Claymores Through Kleve", but in one or two missions we are meant to have 3in/81mm mortars off-map. But, they do not show up in the arty support panel. Which is a bit annoying when you are rubbish like me, and need all the arty I can get. -

How to proceed in battle ?!
Warts 'n' all replied to AdamPraha's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
The OP either hasn't read the manual, or he's just taking the pee. -

Which battle, or campaign mission do you spot this happening in? -
Great AAR from the tank museum on YouTube
Warts 'n' all replied to Holien's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
I think we all have to adopt a different approach. Mainly because George wasn't able to create a "everything stops for tea" battle plan for the Allied AI. -

Good, for people unfamiliar with Villers-Bocage. But, a decidedly amateurish production. You have to wonder who thought it would be a good idea to have the Patreon ad cut in mid-commentary. -

Thank you for putting me right on that one. Slightly off topic. We visited a National Trust property yesterday. They had an Edisonophone, so I asked the guide if she would play something. She obliged by putting on some ragtime. I then had to explain to both her, and my girlfriend how the wax cylinders were recorded. Meanwhile back to the first mission. My Canucks didn't sound "British", they sounded like they came from the wrong side of the pond, just as they should do. -

That is very true. At 400-odd years old I'm even older than the UK. Of course, Erwin fails to grasp both the history (and the humour) behind my comment. "Brits" fought in late 20th century Ireland, they have fought in the middle east in this century, and of course give, their name to an award for ****e electronic dance music. And the word is fine when talking about BFCs modern titles. Downfall is a WW2 title and the word is out of place. Granddad Paddy was born in County Meath, and fought all through the war (except when consuming vast quantities of the black stuff in the NAAFI). He was a Limey, but he could never be a "Brit". My USatian girlfriend can grasp this concept, and she has only lived in Limeyland for 7 years. As for filling out forms which demand our nationality, I'm miffed if I don't get the option "Anglo-Irish". -

Oh, dear. There are no "Brits" in this campaign. You begin with the Canucks, and then go on to fight as the Jocks. If you must use a collective to describe members of the British Army in WW2 then use "Limeys". -
Once the white flag appears they can't "unsurrender". And if you are playing turn-based they will disappear either in that turn, or the next.

German Recoilless LG40 Gun 75mm
Warts 'n' all replied to weapon2010's topic in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
It does say. Or at least, it does in the Market-Garden Manual (near the bottom of page 42). And yes, it does give the range as "up to 6,800 m". I suspect that that is the range when firing HE indirectly, rather than when attempting to tank on enemy armour directly. -
Mission 4 - Reichswald. "If you go down in the woods today, you'd better be on the lookout for Jerry AA guns". As Henry Hall often sang.

FIX THE BOGGING ALREADY!

Perhaps the OP might like to fix his Caps Lock. -
"Verdammte Jocks. Ich bin hier raus!"... A rare moment of joy for me in the slug which mission 3 turned into.

Spearhead Campaign First Scenario - Bridge Bug
Warts 'n' all replied to user1000's topic in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
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. -
I still refer to the site by the old name.

Firing a small "panzerfaust on tank

Very true.
