It always makes me jump when I'm sat watching my infantry walking along and then, BOOM! a Crab triggers some mines. Luckily being a cautious player despite having the Bren Boys out front I still didn't take it for granted that the road behind them would be safe.
When I did a play-test of this mission a while ago, I was sadly unaware that you had to tell the Crab to flail. Soon learned that lesson, although it was not a Crab that got hit, but a Crocodile (immobilised with no casualties, but spoilt some of my potential for fun).
Anyway @rtdood has done a great job on this campaign, very thorough piece of work.

I still have to figure out how to use aerial assets properly in CM...
You and me both
. I haven't seen much of them, but when I did they tended to take an equal toll of me and my enemy.

Lose your marbles, so when that you replay a campaign you've forgotten everything.
Perhaps you and I are of a similar age? Or we drink a similar quantity of alcohol

Erm, I started but RL interfered. Interested in your findings (and those of others).
-
I've given you a like, because while it may not happen, there's nothing wrong with the idea. We could also have dragons...
Anyway, a big welcome to the forum!

Not that we don't appreciate Fire and Rubble and especially Cold War coming from out of the blue. Tea leaves say it will be the Black Sea Marines module but we might get surprised again ( or have I missed an official post?).
Not sure, but Steve said an RT 2.12 patch will be a while coming as the focus will be on other things. Not sure which things but whatever works

Sorry, but 'was ist Dash'? In my WW2 titles I have 'Quick' and 'Fast' but no 'Dash'. Is it a modern thang?
And yes ASL was very good, apart from the huge rule book which we tried to ignore when it served our purposes

I agree with what @danfrodo is saying above

Although I started with RT (totally great by the way), I then opted for BN bundle (also great), FI bundle (also great, but I need to put more time into it), FB (also great, less content but I like it a lot). F&R has just arrived
so I have no need for modern stuff just yet.

the guy's a cnut
King Canute (or Cnut) or not, I think it was a bit tongue in cheek. Has he ever seen Japanese tanks of the era, or Italian? I could go on, but would not wish to bore or offend anyone (sorry to our Japanese and Italian friends).
I'm as much a Panther fanboi as anyone, but all he got from me was a raised eyebrow or perhaps some rolling eyes
.
Of course he could stick to pulling pints...

I had the issue with black trucks in @benpark's Berlin campaigns. I saw the advice about the Stalingrad mod using the same flavour objects. I renamed them. No joy. I read further about the same named objects in the Factory mod. Renamed them. No joy. I found them in another mod, same result. I kept searching and found them yet again buried in another mod. This time the black trucks disappeared.
This is what I get for dropping every available mod into my Z folder, so I totally agree with @Ultradave's advice to move out all mods, or at least be aware of what might be happening...

That was one popular patch!
Yeah, gotta have it, even if there's no time to play it. And with that I have some time

Some people are never happy. Joking

Do I feel a 2.12 patch coming? Nothing wrong with that.
-
That's a great price, and as of today you can also have patch 2.11 free of charge

I'm getting 'There was an error preparing your download'. I'll keep trying...
Et voila, now I have it. About the 10th try, and I even got a Share:System error while I was downloading. F&R didn't do this LOL.
-
Same here with RL but love to see new campaigns. Thanks @theforger and keep up the great work.

Have to say it works really well, my butt was well kicked by the re-supplied FJ. Great work as always

Apologies for such a long ramble
I like your ramble and I'm happy to read more. Good post.

Sad news. I've played a lot of John's stuff - Talonsoft were my favourite publisher for many years and even now I dip into Campaign Series occasionally.

The Panzer III's with their base sand colour could actually be more historically correct.
Yes could be, I hadn't considered that. It was more that the IIIs were sand only, but the IVs next to them were camo. A minor thing anyway, not going to stop me enjoying the excellent work

19 minutes from the time the 1st email went out until there was a post on the forum.
That wasn't me was it, don't think so...
Also getting the message out ain't so bad.

All hail John, the rabid squirrel! John is great. Full stop.
Seriously though, well done everyone. But I'm not joking about John

Yes download was quicker than extract and install. I think that's a good sign of the huge content, and the speed of my broadband...

Why are modern CM title soldiers all white men?

FWIW, I think it was a reasonable question, and it was reasonably answered. No need to lock IMHO.
