I exploded the scenarios from the campaign a long time ago, and forgot that the de-compiler numbers them starting with "0", so I was actually testing on Battle 8. Still can't figure out where I saw the stats for minimum/maximum ranges on these guns.
Yes, me too. I was thinking of "Not so fast, Fritz". The final mission where the Germans are defending. It is interesting to zoom in on one of these guns and look at their design. The gap between the gun shield and the barrel is very small, and must have limited the elevation to just a couple of inches.

I actually fired this up as a stand-alone battle yesterday, so I am familiar with the map. And although the FO in the church can see right across the battlefield I think 300 meters was about the longest I could set an indirect mission without the infantry guns losing LOF (Keine Schusslinie). So I will just be using them in the direct fire role if the need arises.

There have been a lot of threads about this topic, and without knowing the battle you are playing, or the map you are playing on I don't see what more help you can be given.

Noticed that on-map 75mm inf guns cannot be used for indirect fire in the setup phase if the spotter has no LOS to the target - unlike all offmap artillery which can be set to fire anywhere on the map regardless of spotter LOS. Anyone know if that deliberate or a bug?
It is not a bug. Where they can fire is governed by whether or not they are able to fire over blocking terrain.

Now what would be really nice is if you could use breaching charges to destroy mines...
You can, and I think that is has been shown on yt in "School of Hard Knocks" for example. The problem is that you normally kill or wound your own men too.

Your next Spitze-less battle is a biggy. From what I recall it is only the Stummels that carry forward into it.

Losing, it's what I do best.

Currently i'm trying small scenarios to enjoy the game without recording anything. But i'm looking forward to play the advanced training campaign and report with my story from there.
I needed a change as the work on my last video took huge amount of time. I think i spent more time shooting and editing the video than playing the game actually. I need to balance that.
I'm thinking about splitting the stories to multiple shorter videos, something like episodes.
The most important thing is to enjoy yourself. Whether it is playing the game or making videos. And the episode approach to videos is something that a lot of people do.

He seems to like the game (going by this video only) so perhaps when he does use the expression it is meant as a backhanded term of endearment? Or not?
No, it wasn't.

Ah, a video where he doesn't call Steve and Charles "MotherF***ers".

I suspect that scrumpy might have been taken.

Update - I took the "Keep KG together" branch.
Lo and behold. I also only got 2 - Armoured Cars, 2- Panthers and 2 - MkIVs. It does seem to make a nonsense of following that branch. And I don't think that there has ever been an updated version of this campaign released. Ho hum. Forward to defeat.

Lmao, i tried to look for some "real" German music but YouTube quickly becoming a place for nothing like that.
If you want music that you can make mods from for the game i.e. "music intro", "music splash", " music end of battle" then you are better off without youtube. I just download the stuff that the troops would have been listening to at the time, and convert them to wav files. Obviously, most people stick to "Hollywood" or modern stuff. But I don't see the point of playing an historically accurate game with non-historical music.

I have it on excellent authority that it will be called CMPGH Paddy Goes to Hamburg.

...yes the Bedford is higher but the chevy is stockier and smaller, that does not prevent it from being a good truck that the canadians used,
It wasn't a criticism of the truck or your mod. It's long running joke around these parts that Paddy aka my granddad spent he entire war driving around in a Bedford full of Guinness.

I like the look of the chinstraps too. Nice idea.

Paddy looks down from his bar stool up in heaven ... "Be Jeezus, some feeker is messing about with me Bedford."

Personally I think that anyone who misuses "pax" deserves the axe.

It's hard to keep conversation in one direction if you keep taking something out of context and start a completely different topic .. just saying
Agreed.

One can choose whether to keep your forces together or split them (to attack in two directions in a subsequent mission). I have played both options. The problem is that when I chose to keep the force together only two of the 5x PzV's and two of the 5x PzIV's turned up in subsequent missions.
Maybe a bug/problem with script? Or perhaps an update has screwed it up. Let me know what you find.
Will do.

There's no AT gun or tank in the video above.
Haha. That was an excellent reply.

I've played the campaign three or four times and yet to win it. But by co-incidence I fired up it earlier today, and look forward to losing it again.
As for the script taking some of your force away. I think there is a branch at Mission 2 which results in your force being split, but thankfully I have forgotten why so it will come as a surprise in a day or so.

Although from what I've just read it was meant to have a fairly wide range of elevation. So perhaps it's very low trajectory is down to it's short barrel. Either way it's a fiddly little bugger to fight with.
