@Vacilllator Good to see that @Pete Wenman helped you out. And my apologies to him for forgetting that he was the designer.

"I think it's burning, but I ain't gonna be the first one to take a look."

Some, but not all designers do mention the long call in time and suggest creating your arty mission during the Set-up Phase. It's what I always do with them.

If you are going to have severed heads then legs an arms should probably also be included. But what about the occasional severed penis you might ask...
Sorry I should have specified the game. CM English Civil War (Currently in development in a TARDIS somewhere).

I abhor violence. But, maybe severed heads should be allowed in game.

The Renault Flammpanzer came with the Vehicle Pack a few years ago. So the revised version of Borderlands has -vp stuck on the end of it. Although when I played it I gave it the name "Charred Borderlands" in my results log. I don't know if it still available in the Scenario Depot if anyone wants to give it a go.
Here's one of Renaults after it was charred.

Borderlands
Is that the original version? Or the revised one with the Flammpanzers?

Hahaha. Poor old Aunty she ain't what she used to be. I've even had to lodge a few complaints along the lines of "Lord Reith would be spinning in his grave" in recent months.
In the meantime, I'd like to know which scenario the OP was playing.

I felt thoroughly British.
Paddy lifts his eyes from his copy of the Sporting Post. "Did yer'se hear this gob****e, Mr. Jorrocks, Sir. He felt so British, that he said that he was playing as "the Brits".
"Don't worry about it Paddy old boy. By the time the Dictatorship of the Semi-Literate take power we will both be in our graves."
"Ah, right you are Sir. Another G'n'T will it be?"

Perhaps whoever designed that particular building will explain what inspired the sign.

You're right that slit trenches and fox holes were dug in gardens during the battle. Just unlucky with your choice of picture. Thankfully the location of that mortar pit has never been built on. ...

... the gardens of Dutch houses were actually where they got placed.
We've all seen this fella. Maybe CM doesn't lend itself to close quarters quite so well.
I think you'll find that these guys weren't in the garden of a house, they were on the edge of a wood.
-
Which mission or campaign were you playing when you found it?
-
Huh, it's where that perfumed long haired twit Rupert came from. Not that I bear any grudge.

He's autistic and tried to be interested.
That is a shame. I wish him well.
In the meantime, it has been years since I played this mission. Just going through my results, when I played this on Engine 2 as the Axis vs the AI I only managed a Major Victory losing three tanks in the process. My memory isn't good enough to know what you need to do to get a "Total Victory".

"I don't think defensive missions are necessarily a strength of this system".
Well BFC did do a rather lukewarm job of defending themselves when you called them "Mother****ers", but perhaps they didn't want to descend to your level.

The mind boggles.

Desperate to tell someone and it turns out my son is not interested (and I didn't bother telling my wife).
If the son is "not interested", give 'im a clip 'round the lug'ole. And try "telling the wife", or get yourself a Polish girlfriend who is into CM.
-
The Poles called the local ridgeline Maczuga or mace in English, because it resembled a club. Rather than the more decorative mace that we have in the House of Commons to bash the Royals with.

I personally hate trying to fight my way up a mountain. In FB you get a blend of flat wetland in the east of The Netherlands, the city streets of Aachen, the Rhine valley and the Ardennes of course. So FB gets my vote.

Foiling Fustian is my favourite.

My Granddad was in the R.A.S.C. at the start of the war. He was attached to 2nd Battalion, The Middlesex Regiment i.e. 3rd Infantry Division's Machine Gun Battalion, commanded by some bloke called Jorrocks. I can state as a fact that the MG boys sole job was to defend Paddy's Guinness laden Bedford's.
Or, they were spread out evenly between the various Infantry Brigades. I shall let fellow forumites make up their own minds.

Come on Wart - shake your box of tricks up and give us another game.
I don't have a new competition in the pipeline sadly. I think doing one over on the CMFB forum would be a bit pointless, as we are all so familiar with the photos taken then.
I quite like the idea of doing something set in the west during spring 1945. But, we shall have to wait for BFC.

Damn it! That’s because the spelling autocorrect kicked in when I tried to put in the TM manually ... A Mod to FarTM became something about wind ... so I didn’t spot the real spelling mistake. Write it out 100 times I will not fart too
I always told Elizabeth that these mechanical quill type things would cause nothing but trouble.
Artillery call on time plus delay?
