Warts 'n' all

The man from Wimbledon Common is correct. Both 2inch mortars and PIATs can be grabbed by infantry men using "Acquire". For example. Put a Limey Scout team into a carrier acquire the PIAT and it's spare ammo. Dismount the Scouts, and the third man in the team will appear on screen carrying the PIAT. The same thing will happen in the case of the 2inch mortar. This can be checked by either looking at the UI or by looking at your pixel Limeys. I think that the only carrier that doesn't hold spare ammo is the MMG Carrier.

Your mistake is labelling them all "Bren" carriers. They weren't.

It's normally "Jerry". But, as a geriatric punk it's my job to be awkward.

Nice one, Pebsie. Although some people with cloth ears did think that Freddie Mercury was Queen for some years. Meanwhile it's good to know that Lance Corporal Farris put Gerry in his place.

I didn't know that George VI was a "Her". You learn something new every day.

Good screen shots, but the Limey army didn't have Pfc's.

3. The problem with this battle was reported to the designer some months ago. The mod, and it's scenarios, is not a finished product but a work in progress. I know that @NPye has made some changes to it, but I've not seen much in the way of updates recently.

Just to make things really confusing. Some times you get a two-man HQ Team and the half-track crewman will act as Loader. Meaning that when you dismount the HQ Team he will then act as both Loader and Gunner. But I've also known the HQ Team to consist of only one man, and the spare half track crewman is not designated as a Loader, and therefore if you dismount the HQ Team the targeting options grey out.

If you are playing "Turn-based" it could be that the crew were reloading the gun right at the moment the turn came to an end. Perhaps providing us with a screenshot or two could get you some more detailed advice.

Altogether now... "Eusebio, but I say WimO" With apologies to the Stretford End c.1968.

Will certainly give it a whirl.

I was going by the "Junior Member" icon.

It is always good to find new people making decent CM content for us old fogeys to enjoy.

That doesn't sound good.

@Simicro You're most welcome here mate. And this is how we normally deal with people who call us "Fanbois".

Didn't error used to be called the Irish Free State?

Ah, the joys of posting the same thread twice.

Because you have got the Mortar Team itself highlighted. A team cannot give itself an "Indirect Fire" mission, only HQs and FOs can call in indirect fire. So either use the HQ to call in indirect fire, or have the mortar use direct fire at the targets it can see.

Some of them should look more like this. Not as deep as they appear in game. And with enough greenery for the Panzerknacker teams to hide in so that they could take out the Shermans. Which were not knocked out by AT Guns despite what Hollywood would have us believe.

A great series of pictures. The last one in particular. It is a very rare treat when something like that happens.

'ang on a minute. If you wanna to call 'im "Declan" you 'ave to pay me copyright, me ol' China.

Given that you come from the land that gave us The Wurzels, perhaps comedy is best left alone.

I think that your conclusion is the correct one. Unless it slipped under my radar.

That's a shame. I was beginning to enjoy it.
