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. -

That was Alf Tupper "The Tough of the Track". No coronary, thankfully. He did go blind, but not even that could stop him. He learnt how to race the 3,000m Steeplechase, using a guide dog during his training sessions. And won Gold at the Munich Olympics. -

I first read about the attack on Middleburg in an issue of a Limey comic called Victor. Ah we were all so much younger then, he says, drowning in a wave of nostalgia. -
Finnish front module?
Warts 'n' all replied to Panzer_Freak's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
In the mod pack there is a Stug bearing the number Ps 531 - 3. Although it didn't feature in any of the test battles, which was a shame. -
I'm not sure how a problem that renders the game unenjoyable/uplayable (delete as applicable) can be "in the rearview mirror". Of course, I do appreciate the fact that we didn't have mortorised horses with rearview whatsits in my day.

I have to agree with Pete Wenman. Now, where have I read that before?

Barbarossa now ?

Fulda Gap ... As Dartford Mick and the Tax Dodgers once sang. "You can't always get what you want. And if you keep banging on about it. You might just find, that sometimes, you really piss Steve and the boys off". Or, words to that effect. -

Here in Limeyland I think that only three series were ever shown. And only the dvds available are from the last two series. -

I've seen plenty of yt videos of that game. But sadly, my puritan upbringing will not allow me to tell you what I really think of it. -
Thanks for these.

Finnish front module?
Warts 'n' all replied to Panzer_Freak's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Now that you have jogged my memory, that sounds right. There were three little battles for us to test. And I still have the mod pack. What I can't remember is whether the campaign was released on Engine 3 or 4. -

A long time ago, someone did put together a Finnish mod pack and a short campaign.
