I read it the same. No need for any more personal 'digs' but I am ever the optimist.

Ha, I thought of tagging you in as well Dave .

Hi, you need the 'wonder of the world' that is @BFCElvis. He'll be along shortly I'm sure...

Just an aside, but they can make for some pretty tough defenders - I had them in a PBEM of 'A Muddy Affair' and they were absolutely badass. Aside over...

Don't think anything's changed but CMBN has always been a bit different to the others as far as folder locations. @BFCElvis will be able to get you sorted I'm sure.

I was the same until very recently. I'm now having my baptism of fire in a Cold War PBEM. My performance so far could be described as ...

So far in the game we're playing I have no artillery. At all. I have some tanks (now minus one) which could shell, but they would likely die first. So I'm going for your observation based approach for now, and with hindsight perhaps I could have done more earlier...

Yeah, and I think this is why I was jokingly asking about Soviet doctrine earlier. But bugger doctrine, we're playing a game here and I need to see Dave's unfriendly TOW (and other) teams sooner rather than later.

I like it so much that I'm playing the same battle (Pershing versus Tiger) as a PBEM against a second opponent (it's okay he knows and he suggested it). But of course that's a fictional battle, perhaps more balanced than some of the historical ones. And that might be my only reservation about Final Blitzkrieg, a lot of what it does (and could) cover is not likely to be well-balanced as the Germans were in a bad way by then. As for the list, it is perhaps the result of a search on Wiki? I don't really have any issues with that, and there are some 'new' things there that could be done in CM.

Yes, you're probably right. I did happen to spot a TOW in flight so I have a rough direction it came from. No sign of anything firing the missile in that direction though.

Thanks Dave. So far in our encounter (the hypothetical one ) I have not had a single spot / sound contact despite losing three vehicles. So I think I need to do better at this, which suggests the overwatch and perhaps also the dismounting.

That's exactly what I wanted . I'm from 'up north' don't forget, just not as far as you.

Very nice George, it could only be bettered with a personal narration .

Okay roger that, will do.

They work for me too, albeit with a bit of wierd stripeyness on the Shermans in the second one. I've never noticed how good barbed wire fences look .
