Tank Battle of Lisow ready for play testing
Vacillator replied to Commanderski's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
In this battle I'm sure you're right, but I like to have infantry as eyes in front of the panzers. Next scenario? -

Vacillator replied to Commanderski's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Hmmm, mine are in the fields on the other side of the village, but I'd best not add any spoilers. In any case I'm happy that I've cleared a lot of the hiding Bolsheviks (as far as I know), onwards to victory. I have never maneuvred so many Tigers and also the artillery on hand is very nice. I am however feeling a bit 'naked' without infantry support, old habits die hard... -
Yes, I'm ready to download. I assume that's a bayonet on the shouldered rifle? First blood may inadvertently come from that .

Good advice, something I don't forget but which I never seem to get quite right .

DAR - "Forging Steel" PBEM
Vacillator replied to Rinaldi's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Okay, well the very best of luck to you my friend. And thanks for the update to the AAR, great work again. -
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.

WHY has nobody considered attempting Stalingrad?
Vacillator replied to Artkin's topic in CM Red Thunder Maps and Mods
This sounds great, looking forward to giving it a go. -
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.

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 .

Weird stuff in CM. Why is CM great?
Vacillator replied to Zimtstern's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
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. -

Vacillator replied to Zimtstern's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
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 . -
Weird stuff in CM. Why is CM great?
Vacillator replied to Zimtstern's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
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 ... -
Tiger Is vs IS-2s and T-34/85s
Vacillator replied to John Kettler's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
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. -

It did however seem to raise their helmets off their heads just before they were vapourised? -
Tiger Is vs IS-2s and T-34/85s
Vacillator replied to John Kettler's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
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). -

Vacillator replied to John Kettler's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Agreed, one of the best for sure. Worth bigging up @George MC once more .
