He must be speaking of the 1993 film by Joseph Vilsmaier, that film together with Das Boot are claimed by many to be the best war filmes ever made, me included. Start out with Stalingrad and then see if you can find the blu-ray version of the Directors Cut of Das Boot, you will not regret it!

Erwin, check out ChrisND's youtube channel, he does have another video wherin he completes the rest of the mission, and he also has a video of him playing the next mission in the campaign.

Thank you very much! This is a great feature, a real time saver, Im very new to this game system and I was really missing something like this

Wait, how does one give group commands? I never knew that was even possible! Im always giving individual commands, but this feature might save me time!

22 years old, so nope. Right, I wish someone would've done a campaign walkthrough on youtube, it's not that I want ALL the answers it's just that the campaign is so daunting, I mean the battles are HUGE compared to the training campaign and the few smallish scenarios I've tried. Guess Im gonna have to keep trying untill I find a formular that works. Still would like to know how Im supposed to clear mines though...

Greetings from Denmark! As the title states I am a CM-n00b (RT is my first CM game, BS will be my second). I've played the tutorial campaign and watched all of ChrisND's latest streams + various youtube vids in order to learn about the mechanics of CM, and I feel that I've got a pretty good understanding of the game and when to use the various orders etc. etc. But right off the bat mission 1 of the Soviet campaign is posing a challenge for me! I dont want to keep reloading saves untill I can remember each and every enemy position as that seems like cheating, so instead I've turned to you guys for help (please). Im trying to focus most of my forces on the extreme left flank in order to avoid assaulting the 1st defensive line head on, my plan was to mop up and secure the left forrest and then "roll up" the 1st line from the left. Im told in the briefing to clear mines on the other side of the river but there actually only seem to be mines in the woodline, but how to clear a path through said mines? Should I just have my sappers crawl through the woods and they'll start marking the mines on their own? But even that seems impossible due to the enemy foxholes and strongpoints inside the forest, these positions are very hard to supress due to the reverse slope on which they are situated, and assaulting them only results in my guys getting blown to bits by those bloody mines! I know Im supposed to suffer heavy casualties (even the briefing tells me), but seeing so many of my poor, poor conscripts getting chewed up is absolutely heartbreaking...so, does anyone have some suggestions as how to approach this scenario?
