Nice work, thank you

AT-6 from a Russian Hind streaks towards a T64 attached to 3rd Company, 14th UKR Mech Brigade, 31st Aug, 15:25pm.
Fortunately the crew already bailed, before the inevitable fireball.
I know its still a loss, but it feels like a win when the AI goes after kit already out of action.
Pic from the CCTV security camera in the CO-OP supermarket loading bay, Henwick Road, Worcester, hence the dodgy quality.
Shameless plug for.....

Order some Papa Johns and collect on route!
3rd Company rolling in with air support.

Thank you. Would be good to get your feedback on how you found the AI dispositions.

North of Hallow on way to Holt. Again off map to the North. Been a fan of CM for years but only recently started putting scenarios together. I published Korsun 2017 earlier this year.
-
Thank you.... I enjoyed putting it together, never realised how many Churches we have. Found myself studying terrain and LoS on my way to Sainsbury's
No probs, let me know what you need. I like the idea of the SJLA, maybe a future update?
Looking to put together a scenario or campaign around Mariupol, maybe "a day at the beach?"
-
Uploaded a scenario to the above. Map based on Worcester, UK. Its a bit of a monster TBH.
Blue versus AI with 5x AI plans. H2H maybe a little easy for the Russians.
Hope people download and enjoy it, or at least appreciate the level of effort required!

Shameless plug but you might find my planning tutorial useful:
Missed that first time round. You guys with the expertise have a great impact on this site, much appreciated.
Still a lot to learn on my part.
Published Korsun2017 scenario earlier this year and am about to release another in the next week or so, when I've completed testing, UKR assault, see attached.

Thought I'd share this doc on planning and developing orders. May be alone, but I found it interesting!

Like the 4th Guards Tank Division only (and then not all regiments, I think). And that is T-80U mostly. Some T-80UK and maybe a handful of T-80UE-1s. T-80UM is just rumor at this point (although T-80Us have received some modernizations, e.g. laser illuminators).
Vitaly Kuzmin recently published a photo report on an open day for the division:

Nice post...

Really? What makes it so much better than the WW2 parts?
maybe a slight exageration on my part but.....
modern day, westernised landscape brings a chilling reality
intensity, stay put not an option, movement=high risk, low margins of error
you have to be tactically spot on in your decision making
modding community, do an exceptional job for additional sound and visual realism and then there's the tech which is generally pretty awesome.
Would love to see additional modules....Poles, Baltics, NATO, Scandanavian, Turkey
Fulda Gap/Team Yankee, Kursk would be earlier titles I'd look forward to, but I buy 90% of what they produce regardless.

"I also think about buying CMBS, but this is getting a bit expensive here all together..."
yes, but CMBS is probably the greatest game of all time. Lights, Camera....Action!
-
appreciate you sticking with it and your feedback.
There are multiple Blue AI plans so it should have some replay value if you have the energy, patience and the time!
The AI always seems to take a bit of flak on the forums so I was conscious of making it a tough challenge, not easy to get the balance right
hopefully mission difficult rather than mission impossible
-
no problem, i've got plenty to learn. All / any feedback welcome.

you get a very good atmospheric feel from the screen shots, nice work.
My copy of From Normandy to the Ruhr arrives tomorrow, interested in following the tracks of the 116th through the Ardennes and building a campaign on it.
Built my first public scenario for Black Sea and I'm keen to do more.

Will follow Man of the Our with interest!

Thank you....it took a while

Posted a new scenario. V2.00 Game Engine 4
Huge map, H2H or RED vs AI only, before daybreak on the 6th June.
RED attack to seize road and rail bridges over the River Ros, using the Forward Security Element and Advanced Guard of the 2nd Tamanskya Motor Rifle Divsion.
Multi Company engagement. Map 3.5km x 3.5km.

Did you get anywhere with this project? I fancy having a crack at building a campaign following the exploits of the 116th.

My Russian AirForce happily taking out 3x Humvees whilst 2x Abrams sit there unmollested

Hi
Firstly thank you Battlefront for creating the best CM title in my opinion and look forward to additional modules, Nato, Marines, T14?
I'm creating a huge Black Sea scenario covering the Korsun area. There are 3x mods that I think would really enhance the look but I have no experience or skills with creating my own mods and wondered if anyone would be prepared to help?
1. Bridge railings, not sure if even possible but could they be coloured in Ukranian Blue and Yellow?
2. Warrior on the Ros monument?

3. Windmill restaurant South of Korsun on the H01?

since we are daydreaming...
how about a fictional scenaryo set in europe in 80s?
warszaw pact vs nato plus yugoslavia - AWESOME
base game set up in germany . first mission taking over west berlin and then advance on west germany
first expansion war in scandinavia
second expansion war in france
and my favorite third expansion that is prelude to all and is a proxy war in yugoslavia as warszaw pact attacks neutral yugoslavia to topple the regime after Tito's death. you'd have nato, warszaw and yugo forces everyone fighting against everyone weeehooo
+1
Black Sea my favourite title. Although looking forward to starting the German Campaign ASAP. Must remember to take my time and savour like a fine wine.

Great song, but I prefer Panzerlied

Good spot, Kennie.
For those of you, who, like me, struggled to find Battle Pack 1 "stealth release" in the Store yesterday, go to Store - CMBN - and about half way down the list of modules, upgrades, etc., you will see the Battle Pack 1.
It requires the Vehicle Pack too, which I don't have, so this makes it a USD30 (20 for the Vehicle Pack + 10 for the Battle Pack) investment.
Just FYI.
Agree, also some scenarios are duplicated albeit with different force mix. Admire the effort but honestly, at 30USD it didn't represent good value. Quite funny to see a Bulat crew in one scenario until i reloaded latest patch.

One of my favourite scenarios of all time across all CM Titles, especially playing as Russians. Now downloadable, many thanks Stephen, http://www.thefewgoodmen.com/tsd3/cm-black-sea/cm-black-sea-add-ons/lights-camera-action/
i think it would translate well as a Blitzkrieg scenario too.
thinking they are achieving the mission I had in mind!
Festung La Gleize
in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg

Building a scenario based around La Gleize / Cheneux / Stoumont from 20th December and I have a couple of questions around KG Peiper's order of battle at that time.
1. Did he have any SP Arty (Wespes.etc), or was it all Towed?
2. Were elements of the Fallschrimjaegar still with him?
3.What towed AT PaK weapons did he have available, if any?
I'm using the master map provided in game which is amazing, but with damage from the previous fighting, so destroying church tower, viaducts.
Any info on the weather for the valley at that time would be great, probably going thick fog or light fog/drizzle.
Thanks in advance
