At the break of dawn, and sun lit skyline - the Capt says, "Let's move on lads, destination Carentan"
 

If you try it out vs. AI, please let us know how well it plays. Been longing for a Carentan scenario.

great news thanks very much for looking.

Erwin - still on it! but it will be done and ill release it as soon as possible, i kind of got carried away creating maps - a small 6 June para drop scenario, a Wolfhanze map but i think ill wait for OMG (the buildings dont look right, dunno yet) and a CWF scenario, but the Carentan map is my priority

Just HTH for now - im almost finished with the AI!

After consilidating all its forces after the D-Day drops the 101st Airborne Division is now ready to advance on the town of Carentan in order to merge the beachheads at Utah and Omaha.Airborne forces attempt to cross the final bridge on the Carentan - St. Mere Eglise highway in order to clear the approaches to the town for the upcoming drive on the town itself.Paratroopers from the 6th Fallschirmjaeger regiment lie in wait, command is holed up in the Ingouf Farm complex and at least 1 weapons company has its MGs trained on the exit of the bridge.

Spot the spent cartridge
 

LOL ! I saw it i saw it ! It reads 'Aim at the Enemy' well.. something like that. But the panzerfaust clearly shows an instruction picture label of how to hold and aim. Impressive. Do these type of details generally make it (or made it) out at launch ? Or do CM developers simply leave it to us to discover. I wish i see a comment from some big chief dev at BFC.

I have to admit that despite having this game for about 8 months, I didn't know until yesterday that Panzerfaust had instruction labels on them, let alone that the labels come in different colours.
 
I'm a novice when it comes to posting screenshots. So I hope it works.

So I did a 30 minute battle, American assault on a tiny map. The single US vehicle was an M10 TD that came charging out the gate shoring up everything in sight. I had a PAK completely across the map and was a bit worried this might go badly, Then the schrek team you see im the foreground, the one I expected to get chewed up by the infantry accompanying the M10, popped up, and took two shots. The second one killed the M10. I liked the perspective shot here, shooter close to the "camera" and the target in view in the distance.

Where the hell are we Shultz?

Now.. who can post a Bazooka missile close up ? What else is up to us to discover?

Agreed. Sure there's a battle raging all around us on the screen. But one should "stop and see the roses". 
 
Am I the only one who spends half his time looking at the "game within the game"?
 
From the finer detail of the killing machines right down to the signs on the shops. Check out the inscriptions on headstones and don't forget to look inside the buildings. The choice of wallpaper in some would stir even Oscar Wilde from his eternal slumber.

I've seen spent cartridges being ejected from MGs and rifles quite often. And I do like to capture vehicle crews in mid-air when they are bailing out. But seeing printing on mortar rounds and smoke grenades is something totally new to me. I will certainly be looking harder in the future, providing I'm not spending the "Replay Phase" watching my men getting killed. Haha.

Brilliant pictures. I think I might have to start zooming in a bit closer in the future.

It's well worth it.
 
For me, that moment was the first time I zoomed in and watched a rifleman take a shot, work the bolt and the empty casing spinning away...

now... lets see if this works
 
Mortar Team - and i must say... this pic contains something which triggers deep feelings.
i never thought or knew that Combat Mission contains so detail/realistic objects. my second pic... will speak for itself. i was speechless with what i saw. the inscription on the shell. bloody hell, this game is for real !
 

Yes, this is a very cool game.  Not just the mortar rounds but also the tank smoke canisters are detailed.
 

 
Even if it was in English instead of German (maybe this was corrected by now).  I was still very impressed the first time I noticed the writing.

Excellent looking uniforms and screenshots. I am assuming somebody's mod? Very nicely done. If they fight as good as they look you may have a difficult challenge.
