You're welcome.
I forgot to mention that there is also a scenario that comes with the MG Module that is set back on Normandy on the 16th July. It is called "Green Hell" and pits US forces against the Fallschrimjager.
Also, the battle I call "Nijmegen Road Bridge" comes from thefewgoodmen website, where it is called Nijmegen Finale and includes a mod folder using that name.

My dad went to Somerset once. Kent had a great morning, he drank too much at lunchtime, and they got stuffed by Viv and the boys in the afternoon.

As far as semi-historical and historical battles go I think it goes like this....
Bridge no. 7
Out on a Limb
Outstanding Gallantry
All Round Defense
Landing Zone T
Devil's Hill
Drive on Dreijsenseweg
Johanna Hoeve Farm
Back to the Waal
A Man can die but once
Nijmegen Road Bridge
Boldness be my Brother
Lonsdale's Block
Betuwe on Fire
You can always check with a pen and paper to hand, or create a battles database like I did. Just fire up a scenario and check the date in the briefing. It could well be that other forumites have played some battles that I haven't, and that might have more suggestions for you. Happy gaming!

Thanks mate.
I'm glad that it worked. In fact once I'm finished with replaying the "Swords" and the "Demise" battles, I shall revisit "Busting" myself. I think that it will look great with your Normandy mod.
-
Hope this works for you ...

Did someone say? ...

And the moral of the story is, never play CM with a sleeping pussy, they cheat.

I log on humming "Tiger Rag" only to be confronted by Bazzer. Yuk!
-
I'm thinking of giving both "Swords" and "Demise" another go. The recent hedgerow mods have given me a taste for Normandy again.

Going through my mod warehouse. If Aris created mods or "mod packs" specifically for Final Blitzkrieg then he put "CMFB" or just "FB" in the title. If they don't appear, then you are using one of his earlier mods. Or at least, that is how I understand it to work.

I remember seeing Chi-chi at London Zoo when I was a kid.

@Lucky_Strike Thanks for that explanation of the underlying problems of modding the hedgerows. I've always thought that the "straight poles" in particular looked out of place.

In a turn or two, the team will rejoin at that endpoint.
"In a turn or two," Your men could get shot to pieces. The rest of your advance could grind to a halt etc etc.
This bug should have been sorted once and for all, within weeks of the release of the Big Bundle six, or however many years ago. And that is coming from someone who regularly got abused for being a "fanboi".

Hedgerows could certainly do with some attention from the modding community. It would be good to see some earthen banks, tree roots, fallen branches etc.

Never trust anyone who uses the word "issue", when they mean a problem. That's what my old granny always used to say, except when she was moaning about the Stewarts.

I don’t know if FB features vines, don’t have it to consult..
Nope, there aren't vines in FB. I assuming that is because the stock campaign set in Germany takes place in the streets of Aachen in autumn, and the stock battles set on the Franco-German border take place in mid winter.

That sounds very painful.

@Bulletpoint I concur, even simple orders can trigger this behaviour. Although most missions on my recent stumble up the road to Montebourg were bug free, there were two where it happened so many times I was having to replay turns over and over... Grrrr!

I've found that with Teams it will be one guy getting left behind. Whereas with Squads it will be two or three. I've also found that the behaviour is hit and miss, you can play seven or eight missions without it occurring at all, then suddenly you'll get hit by it multiple times in a single mission. Ho hum.

My Assault on Port Cros scenario is part of Dragoon so at least two scenarios out there.
That was the one that I had in mind, although I haven't played it, which probably explains why I couldn't remember the title. Now that CMBN has had it's most annoying bug fixed I will hopefully return from CMFB soon.

The competition is already over. But, if you had posted a video of Phil Harding singing this then I might have bent the rules.

There was a thread about this recently. but I can't remember the title. My experience re artillery was that infantry only ran through a gap towards the enemy if arty rounds landed right behind them and cut off any route back to hard cover. And that only happened once through an entire campaign.
Sadly, infantry getting stuck whilst moving through gaps in a hedgerow, or even moving away from a hedgerow into open ground happened more often than I would have liked.
