How accurate are Kriegsmarine ranks?
Warts 'n' all replied to Frenchy56's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
I thought that that mission only contained one company. -

Without knowing what you "jumped into" it is hard to explain what you are seeing. But, given the fact that the Kriegsmarine units that fought in the Netherlands came from training schools it was probably a case of any officer available. Are there any battalion level battles involving the KM? -
CMFB (Unofficial) Screenshot Thread
Warts 'n' all replied to AttorneyAtWar's topic in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
I wouldn't worry too much. It was Henry II, but he never actually said it, because he couldn't speak English. -
What you are seeing is German troops charging towards the British for no sensible reason and getting themselves killed. This behaviour did NOT happen with Engine 2. It did NOT happen with Engine 3, and did NOT happen with Engine 4 in it's original form. It has only been noticed SINCE the 4.01 patch was released. But I have followed the advice that you gave in a previous post, and re-installed the patches. And, hey presto! NO Germans charging towards my Churchills to get themselves killed. I don't have time to check "The Roadblock" now. But I will try to in due course, or perhaps others may like to try the re-install method for themselves.

I knew. And I haven't been able to read a book since 1658. -

Thanks for sharing those. That poor old Priest will need some good strong Trappist ale. -

Suggested Reading For NWE campaign post D-Day?
Warts 'n' all replied to slippy's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
It's been years since I read Milton Schulman's book. I think that I must have gotten it out of the Library, so we are talking about 30 years ago. Perhaps I ought to hunt it down again. -
Rome to Victory Pre-orders are now open
Warts 'n' all replied to BFCElvis's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
Perhaps one of the modders can create a Partisan mod using a mixture of the pre-existing Italian voice files, uniforms, equipment, and some civvy clothing of their own design. -

But, by the time he has seen it, it will be too late for him to close his eyes. Or, hadn't you thought of that Frank? -
Amiens Tonight Scenario Count
Warts 'n' all replied to freeman2344's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
It is very much a well crafted campaign , albeit one based on a myth. The Ike said to Monty etc etc never happened. It actually went like this. Pip said to Jorrocks :- "My boys are champing at the bit. I think that we can make Amiens tonight." Jorrocks said to Bimbo :- "11th Armoured will be in Amiens tonight". Bimbo said to Monty :- "Brian reckons that XXX Corps will have advanced as far as Amiens by tonight". Monty said to Ike :- "2nd Army are telling me that they are going to Amiens tonight". Ike said to Kay :- "Who is Amy Enns?" Kay said to Ike :- "Dunno, must be another one of those Limey warblers, like that Vera Lynn, that they made us go and see at Christmas". And I know this to be a fact cuz my Granddad Paddy was delivering a case of knocked off Gordon's to Jorrocks' HQ when it happened. -
At moments like this I always put on "Tutti Lo Sanno" by Marine Girls .... "but hate is a passion that's near to love anyway"...

I took a look at the Indian Army TO&E I was most disappointed. No Concert Party Platoon, and no Punkahwallah Section. Hopefully this will be rectified by release date.
