Please send him round, I'll fish out a groat. Unless he takes credit cards...

You can imagine how such goes
I agree. It is however a shame that careless photo-grabbers (like me) then perpetuate falsehoods.
Now where's that sword? I need to do some falling...

So following up on my 'Super Super Bundle' suggestion, I used Steam to select the Bundle plus the national add-ons in SF2 and the Battle Pack in BS. Here's what it would cost me in these harsh post-Brexit
times:
Being the sort of person who has to have all of the content, I would have to go this way. Unless @BFCElvis has a better offer, as I'd rather buy it direct
. Not really expecting a counter-offer by the way John.

Just Started a scenario on Operation Hubertus, November 11 -1942
This sounds great, looking forward to giving it a go.

Interesting, the photo comes up if you search for Utah Beach but that could be a Googlism...
EDIT: Google maps on satellite image confirms the above photo is Lokken - oh well, at least the guess was correct
.
Perhaps I should have used this photo instead:

That is an affirmative, Sir.
Some way into Steve's 2022 preview thread he mentioned Utah, so he was my source of intel other than your screenshot

Utah, but not really my picture

Does it lead down to this (the photo being from recent times of course)?

Still nothing, two turns later.
If you'd like I could take a look at the save file and see if I get the same problem? Let me know and we can set up a dropbox link or email or whatever works for you.
Of course if you've moved on that's fine
. I could also load up Studienka and play it through, but you said they appear quite late in the battle.

Apologies @Ithikial_AU, my throw away comment was meant to just say that I use the UI mod so things look a little different (read much better), not that it might have anything to do with the mortars.

All 6 of you will download it!
I'll give it a go once it's whittled Phil, thanks. Happy to PBEM with you if that helps.
Also please PM me if I'm meant to be doing anything else, my thought processes seem a little overloaded at present

This is a lotta sugar for nickel.
Especially from 3 months ago...
Also a good point, and the OP hasn't been on the forum since January 3rd. Oh well, hope his issues didn't totally put him off and that he'll be back.
-
I'm totally with you on that. While there is always room for improvement, what we have is pretty good and only every now and again do we see something that raises an eyebrow. The good things far outweigh any issues. That's my opinion anyway.
Now bring on the improvements

another whinefest
31 minutes ago, Phantom Captain said:Regardless of all the whinging
I'm not sure this thread is a whinefest or even has that much whinging? Most here love the game and perhaps are just reporting some of the oddities that happen now and then. It's not a big thing, is it? I imagine none of the above will stop any of us playing the game, certainly not me.
I'll now await the shooting down in flames

I see, sorry to hear about that John and hope it improves soon.

Good point.

Thanks for the detailed explanation George. I had wondered about the '17 IS2s' in the video as it did not tally with what I'd read (and of course played
) before.

75 mm shell goes first through the engine block, crew and passengers' compartment before anybody is wounded or dead
It did however seem to raise their helmets off their heads just before they were vapourised?

John, buy the game - you won't regret it (or should I say I didn't
it was my first CM title).
IIRC in game the number of IS2s was not that high, there were more T34s. There are various accounts of what happened and various denials of what happened so I think the game version takes a middle ground (@George MC will I'm sure correct me on this).
You can of course employ all of the the Tigers straight away if you wish (I did), or play it historically
.
Oh and the dismounted start is I think possible @Rinaldi did it recently in his BN Detours scenario (again this is subject to correction).

Agreed, one of the best for sure. Worth bigging up @George MC once more

pupillage application
Okay so I admit I had to look that up, not something my careers adviser told me about all those years ago. I take it you're on the receiving end?
Anyway, take your time with the AAR, I know it'll be worth it

Those looking for 'hints from above' might do better to look here:

My view of it is just like that shown by @BFCElvis (except for @Juju's interface, updated by @Ithikial_AU of course, highly recommended but I understand why John doesn't use it).
Just wondering, can you go back a few turns and try it again with the recent intel? Might not help in the PBEM but perhaps we can all learn something from it.
-
Can you say which scenario and I'll give it a try?
I note that we are in the Red Thunder section, but I knew that the KG Peiper campign in Final Blitzkrieg has Sdkfz 251/2s so I loaded that up (as I was struggling to find them in the RT editor). I can fire directly with the mounted mortar (using Target for example) and I can use a nearby HQ to request it to fire, so your behaviour sounds unusual. Have you dismounted and re-mounted as I've read that this can cause problems?
-
Hmmm, just checked and I have 3.6GB on my C drive for RT and a rather whopping 59.9 GB on my D drive. That is quite a lot...

Battlefront's first Super Bundle is now available.

No, seems to be just SF2 base game. And BS is just the base game so no Battle Pack.
