Vacillator

Nice pic! Did the expected happen?

Looks like Russkies using captured PFs? I'm sure there's a degradation in performance for that in 'the code' . Upper hull penetration on the side of a Panzer IV, but no KO? Really?

He is playing VASL against another CM player (not me, I used to play ASL years ago but not sure I want to go back to that instead of CM). And he's doing a lot of work on what I jokingly refer to as 'Southfork' .

Oh I see, is there any interest in that ?

That has of course been attempted as a mod by Phil @kohlenklau who has departed here for now. I'm still trying to get him back...

I didn't say, but assumed you did individual vehicle orders, not unit orders?

My experience of empty roads is that if your movement orders allow time between vehicles such that they don't bunch up, and are also short enough to follow the road turn by turn, then you can get it work. If one vehicle gets held up, it might go off road or cause others to go off road. Micro-management - yes. Part of the game - yes. Has BFC tried to introduce 'convoy orders' before - yes. Did they work flawlessly - no. Is it being looked at again - yes. Did I mention I quite like micro-management ?

I'm not sure I'm following this fully, but even the late war biggest PFs only had 100m range (the early ones much less). So they won't fire at a range of 120m. Rifles might be firing if for example the tank is unbuttoned and Tank Commander is presenting a target? Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding... A picture would help. I use Nvidia screen capture, put it on Imgur and then post the direct link here. A bit of an exercise but worth it. Others do it differently.

Nicely said . I've only been here for a few years (not like some of the old buggers ) but I've never had a bad experience with anyone and at the same time I've had a lot of good experiences.

I assume its a 7.5 cm le.IG 18? If so, 4 HEAT rounds as standard. HEAT rounds are very capable against things like Shermans.

I get the point. Sorry .

Got any pics, showing paths if possible? Why does the AI take them off road? Obstacles like wrecks in the way, or something else? I assume by lose you mean they drive off into mud and get stuck, or perhaps into LOS/LOF of the enemy?

Glad you two got this going, let us know how you get on (with warnings for spoilers of course ).

For sure.

As a guess, it may be something to do with tags - a QB would presumably not have any tags unless they can be edited in. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can comment on this? By the way I've been in touch with Phil (Kohlenklau) and sadly he is not considering a return at the moment. I could perhaps ask him about your issue though...

That's a fair point, plus a few other things going on.

Sounds good. Were they from the same unit(s)?

Welcome! There are quite a few PBEM players here, they might just be a bit busy (like me). If no-one jumps in, you could also try over at the The Few Good Men: https://www.thefewgoodmen.com/thefgmforum/forums/combat-mission-opponent-finder.451/ Otherwise, if/when I'm less busy I'd be happy to oblige.

Ah Loch Lomond. There's a great road along the west side (from memory, maybe @George MC can confirm) which we used to take on motorcycle camping trips quite a few years ago. Beautiful place, although the scenery was probably not top priority for us at the time. Might go back on my current bike (a KTM 890 Duke R with excellent modern technology ). Okay, I'm OT again...

LOL. Just realised I was a bit unclear. I meant Ikea don't have toilets for sale, although I read that some display items have actually been used . I did not mean that Sweden as a country does not have toilets (of course). And with that I'd better go. From this forum thread...

They don't do toilets yet? Or do they? Sorry, OT so I'll disappear again.

You're playing the same game I'm playing . If only the 60mm would 'meet' the HMG team a bit more often.

Let's not get into the argument of whether or not the Disney Star Wars films were any good, or the Lucas prequel trilogy for that matter. IMHO they both had their moments, some good ones, some bad. So Disney CM. Hmmm, how are they going to wedge a 'love interest' into a wargame ?

Yes, my memory is of crates of small bottles left outside the back door of the school. You were lucky if you got one of the bottles that the birds hadn't already opened by pecking the foil caps.

Yes, my mistake - he's a spritely 86.
