Warts 'n' all

I'm not really sure where all these ideas for changing the fundamental gameplay come from. A minute seems perfect to me. If you changed it, you'd have to change the kinds of commands you could issue - in fact it would become a completely different sort of game.

I had the same problem the first time I used the German light Infantry gun in an indirect fire role, hitting buildings, trees, or anything, except the enemy. Obviously, the main job of the "Pack" was give the Airborne a chance of hitting back until they could establish Radio contact with heavier arty.

I've always that minute of tension was perfect right from when I first played CMBO. Any longer, and I wouldn't have any nails left.

Lei. is short for Leicht (or Light). The only lei division I can find doing a quick google is the 5th who were part of the Afrika Corps in '41. And it later became the 21st Panzer Division.

I don't bite my nails, but neither do I handle futility very well. Watching a disaster unfold for two or more minutes without being able to intervene might very well lead to an increase in my rage quits.

If some are not happy with the AI projecting actions within the current scope. Stressing the AI further isn't going to be pretty.

Sounds like perfect viewing on a dark winter's evening.

AH's "The Longest Day" springs to mind. Getting from the bedroom door to the bed, without treading on the game map, and the reinforcement charts was a feat in itself

Yes, you can intercede if your FO's visibility is not great and you see a couple of cycles of spotting rounds somewhere you know they cannot see. Cancel and start again could be better than letting it come where ever it might end up.

I like the less formal name for them "Holy Rollers". John Knox's ghost is still spinning in it's grave at that piece of blasphemy.

Excellent in depth answer from the MOSman. One other thing to keep in mind. Some 4th, or (Weapons) platoons will include both MGs and on map Mortars. Don't make the mistake that I often have, of sending the HQ forward with the MG's if it is going to mean losing contact with the Mortars, and therefore prevent them from firing indirect missions.

Sorry, wrong colony

Royalist pique at its very finest! 

You deserve it for changing your profile pic and screwing with my reality.
 
Mord.

I didn't recognise him either for what it's worth. 

.... The Postwar Years

I love the sound of 20mm in the morning . . . sounds like . . . somebody getting their a$$ kicked.
From my breakthrough at Stavelot:

True!  Thank you my friend!!    

Really informative series. Of course, in Hollywood, the scouts would have knocked out both Tigers on their own.

Well, I just put in about six hours of Final Blitz on the 55" tv.  I have to say CM in HD is amazing!  I still get slaughtered but I look good doing it.
