    Vacillator reacted to Figueras55 in Manuales traducidos   
    Buenas a todos soy nuevo con este juego y mi nivel de ingles es patético por lo que después de buscar infructuosamente los manuales traducidos, me puse a ello y he traducido los manuales de el motor de juegos de CM versión 4.0  y el manual base de CMSF2 al cristiano, no están completos al faltar la parte del editor de misiones y campañas, me pudo la impaciencia por pegar unos tiros.
    un saludo a todos
    wop veo q solo me permite colgar uno por tamaño

    Apart from the eastern front i'm actually longing back to Normadie...
    Hopefully we will see some new scenarios and campaigns depicting the Normandy fighting that take advantage of all the modules and the vehichlepack...as well as all the improvements that has been made to the editor and gameplay...
    It is currently quite a different game compared to when the original Normandy stuff was made...
    Could be intresting 😁

    Ok...a light AT-gun vs two late war tanks is a nice trade though...It's hard to keep those guns alive...
    Getting kills with them is quite satisfactory 😎...Not quite as much as with hand hald AT-weapons but...almost...and in third place comes the tank destroyers...as satisfactory tank killers 😁.
    Glad things got sorted eventually...

    Note to self, must search the forums more 😉. 
    That is definitely something I'd never heard of.  It explains the fate of the T34/85s, although at the range they were at (ambush of course) normal 50mm AT rounds may have achieved similar results.
    Now, let's see if I have a save with it in for a closer look...

    Okay so I got distracted by my game in progress which is Myth of Invincibility by Kari Salo (hope Kari is around here).  Great battle, very nice map with some decent assets (Axis of course 😉) and challenging opposition.  So far so good, and I just got that lovely radio 'scratch' and this:

    Love it ❤️.

    That is the sort of difference I was asking about I suppose.  Interesting I felt it was the other way round, perhaps it will feel different in other scenarios. 
    No worries, thanks for the answer anyway 👍.
    Oh and thanks @MOS:96B2P and @George MC.  George will be well aware that I am very familiar with his excellent work 😉.  Having said that I'm pretty sure I've played more of his BN battles than RT ones.  Time to fire up RT again and look through the list of battles...

    If you are comparing the stock scenarios that comes with the modules then it should actually be the other way around...
    Early CMBN scenarios did not have the bennefit of triggers and only half the amount of AI groups compared to RT...
    Further improvements have been made over the years...SF2 and RTV also benefits from added AI options like area fire, withdraw and face commands as well as more AI order slots...
    All games have since been updated to the latest standard so they all have the same features for use in future scenarios...

    Aye I enjoy the logitics side as well - one reason I enjoy large scenarios. You have to factor in way more 'higher' level stuff. I've not long finished up a PBEM and the greatest challenge - as well as my opponent throwing a spanner in at what felt like every turn, was co-ordinating a large force to force a crossing over several defended crossing sites. With the key the one I could cross (that was not under as much fire as the others) was a muddy ford... I'd Tigers also but did  not dare risk em crossing the mud, so they had to wait till i managed to seize a heavy bridge so they could cross. Making that decision in itself was a brill part of the mission! My oppo did a good job though of reducing my traffic management issues by winnowing down my force...

    Indeed, indeed.
    Anyway my first bridge crossing on this map (scenario is RT Myth of Invincibility) was that I quick moved first one then another Panther to a stone bridge, they both had a move waypoint half way across and another move waypoint off the other end, then a quick to follow.  Executed beautifully.  Not sure I even needed to slow them down.
    There is however a wooden bridge on the other flank which my 'route reconnaissance' says is passable...  Not planning to use it just yet though.
    I like this game a lot, even the logistics / movement get to me 👍.

    The numbers are the number of meters in length the bridge is.
    R = rail (but just to confuse when you come to wooden ones the R does not mean that). 
    F = footbridge
    W = wide
    FYI Panzer IVs will cross any bridge but once you get into larger tanks you'll have issues. From memory the wee narrow stone bridges (Stone 16 etc) are problematic for wide heavy tanks are as the light bridges. I often mark the bridges in missions as to what they can take.

    We're not all on scrumpy round here.  But if I had to recommend a cider it would be Roger's from Mudgley, http://wilkinscider.com/
    Roger is taking orders, but sadly not to everywhere in the far flung areas of the world. 
    I'm not on commission by the way 😉
    Anyway we should be talking about CM, should we not?

    I'm still not sure, some photos look like that, others don't. One of us is going to have to buy an old jeep mounted with a 30 cal or 50 cal and confirm exactly which positions are required 😉.  Hopefully not me as I have my eyes on a beautiful T34/85 in a local scrapyard.  I kid you not, I've already asked and was told it's not for sale 😔.

    Thanks my friend, will give it a go.  Not sure which side, but my usual proclivity suggests Axis. 
    Also I've been thinking of playing Wittmann's Demise as Allies (not my usual proclivity).  Hmmm - choices, choices 😁.
