Warts 'n' all

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.

If my 365 years of life have taught me anything, it is this, "Always listen to a Canadian Cat, they breed wise over there".

Not quite the right place as this thread is about a specific campaign that is in development. The short answer is "No" campaigns can't be played H2H. It is something that has been discussed many times over the years, but it doesn't appear to me that BFC have any plans to change the way campaigns work.

You will often see CM videos on youtube where the player ceases fire before the end. And of course there is nothing to stop you doing so. But the aim of this particular thread is to give @WimO as much feedback as possible as to how this campaign plays out. So even if you are having a hard time in a future mission I would try and stick it out to the end.

Your guess is correct I steered well clear of Assembly 2. The two man scout team who I mentioned were lucky to get off as lightly as they did considering they cam under fire from four different Gerry units. After that I just headed off to Millets victory location. Counterattacks? Yes, I did. Hardly any Germans survived

Pedantry Alert Mission 1 completed. Major Victory No casualties (apart from a light one sustained by the two man scout team sent to check out Assembly 1). In the meantime the capture of Eglise Saint-Ferreol de Cauquigny went perfectly.

Don't worry too much about what I say. When you get to 365 years of age you tend to get a bit cantankerous.

As a "newbie" you can be forgiven. But it is best to begin such a detailed overview with the phrase "SPOILER ALERT" at the top of the post, so that people who are yet to play or finish the mission don't have their fun ruined. If you wanted to just share your thoughts with @WimO you can always go to his profile and send him a private note.

I don't mind the typos. It's only when some Scots gits changed their name from Steward to Stuart that I got a bit tetchy.

You're more than welcome, Mate. Over the years, we've had maps that use nothing but US English, maps that use nothing but French, and some that use a mixture of the two. I'm sure if we wait long enough someone will come along and demand that you change it to "Chapelle". Okay, enough of this bolleaux, I'm cracking on with Mission 1.

I had to have a little chuckle over this one. In Kent we have a village called Capel-le-Ferne i.e. a chapel built on a site where ferns once grew. Over the years it has been, Marie in the Verne (Church of St. Mary being the name of the chapel), Capel ate Verne, Capell, and Capell' in le Ferne. So I suppose we can cut @WimO a bit of slack, if he makes the odd typo or two.

I'm going to get stuck into this campaign today. Cue ...

Cheers, Mate.
