Thanks, and I bet I will stay for a long time, CMBN is such a great game. Maximdim, Are those your guys or did you cause that? Serious carnage. Heinrich505 Nope they we're the enemy. 3 squads and 2 machine guns we're just around the corner and they shot 'em up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Thanks, and I bet I will stay for a long time, CMBN is such a great game. And then there is CMFI and CMRT and CMBS and soon the Bulge-game, that is a lifetime sentence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS:96B2P Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Hey Guys, I started playing CMBN for a couple weeks now. I discovered that there was a screenshot thread, and I decided to give it a try. So here you go. I call it "The Highway of Death and Destruction" Welcome. Nice first screenshot. If one or more of those half-tracks were burning it would be even more destructive looking than it already is. Don't know if you have gotten into mods for the game yet but I have a feeling you would like Veins base markers from the repository. The mod changes the red X from incapacitated casualties and KIAs to a puddle of blood. (Light red for WIA, dark red for KIA) Now lets see some more screenshots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximdim Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 And then there is CMFI and CMRT and CMBS and soon the Bulge-game, that is a lifetime sentence I know, I really want to get those games too so that I can have the full set! Welcome. Nice first screenshot. If one or more of those half-tracks were burning it would be even more destructive looking than it already is.

I use a bunch of Veins mods for the textures and I have a couple of sound mods but this is really cool. Going to go get it now! Very nice! Looks lifelike. Convert that to greyscale and you'd have a photo from the war. How about this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Backer Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 How about this? Yes, that's the idea! No smoke or flames, so clearly a day or so after the fight was all over. Nice job chopping up the HQ element. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 So, I was going through my screenshot folder and thought I would post a bunch from a recently completed PBEM with LukeFF where we fought on Hill 262 (CW The Mace). I fought as the Poles, and Luke fought at as the Germans. We also did DARs for this match, but only Luke completed his. Yeah, I was a slacker. Here are the links to the DARs if you wish to read them: Luke's DAR Rambler's DAR Panthers on the move: Panzer IVs in an orchard near Vimoutiers Rd: A Polish mortar team lobs mortars at German positions near Vimoutiers Rd: A StuG commander surveys the terrain ahead of him: Polish 17lbr takes a direct hit from a German mortar round: Bocage creepin': StuG knocked out from a single Sherman III round: Sherman IIIs on the move near the North Slope: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Three Sherman IIIs take advantage of a thick German smokescreen to get into position at Vimoutiers Rd: The smoke clears to reveal a couple of Panzer IVs. The Sherman IIIs spot one of them and knock it out: A force from Boisjos Manor, consisting of a couple tanks and platoons, ready to blitz into the German's rear and cut them off: The only resistance encountered are a bunch of halftracks which were easily dispatched: This was a twofer. The round knocked out one halftrack, passed through it, and took out another one (offscreen). The two remaining halftracks with their backs to the wall. They didn't last long: A Polish TC with resolve and determination to make the Germans pay: A Panzer IV at Vimoutiers Rd is spotted by a Sherman III at the North Slope. It opens fire...: ...and scores a penetrating hit: A Firefly burns after being destroyed by a cornered Panther near the North Slope: Edited June 21, 2015 by Rambler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Polish infantry move up the North Slope to try surround the Germans there: The last moments of a Panther. It was knocked out by the remaining Firefly shortly after this shot: German troops flee an incoming Polish mortar barrage at Vimoutiers Rd: A German MGer firing into Polish lines at Vimoutiers Rd: The last Panzer IV at Vimoutiers Rd is destroyed by a Sherman III: Panzer IV graveyard at Vimoutiers Rd: A Panther knocked out by a 50mm AT gun at the North Slope: A Sherman III burns near the North Slope after being destroyed by a Panther: Polish squad moving to new positions: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambler Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Much of this scenario consisted of intense forest fighting, as seen here at the North Slope: ^Creepiest screenshot ever? The following series shows the Poles retaking the objective labeled The Knoll. There was a German forward observer team there that gave me much grief. They were dispatched with no remorse: German dead litter Vimoutiers Rd: To try help out the doomed Panzer IVs at Vimoutiers Rd, the Germans send their lone working Panther. Unfortunately it caused great damage to the Polish armor there. Here is one of it's burning victims: Edited June 21, 2015 by Rambler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 While the Panther was occupied taking out armor at Vimoutiers Rd, some enterprising Polish troops take the initiative to close assault the beast and destroy it, killing all but one of the crew when they bailed (The TC was taken out earlier. Luke found out the Poles have a penchant for picking off unbuttoned TCs) Victoria Crosses for these dudes: ^Spot the grenade! With the Panther down, the task of clearing the Germans from Vimoutiers Rd becomes much easier. Here Polish troops are suppressing a cluster of buildings housing some Germans...: ...while an assaulting squad rounds the corner... ...Into hell. A German mortar barrage is falling in the background, but the buildings are cleared with no losses: A Sherman III immobilized by the Panther at Vimoutiers Rd does what it can to help the Polish assault: After bitter fighting in the forests at Vimoutiers Rd, the final German holdouts are mopped up: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) A HQ unit moves into Vimoutiers Rd after most of the heavy fighting is over. They are driving past another victim of that pesky Panther: A Sherman III consolidates onto Vimoutiers Rd, passing the burning wreckage of another Sherman: A Polish soldiers moves past the burning wreckage of a Panzer IV at Vimoutiers Rd: In the North of the map, a Sherman III stands watch in an orchard. It was able to ambush several German squads moving to assist their friends at the North Slope: In the same area, a Polish squad catches a German squad in the open and neutralizes them: A Firefly watches the final Polish mortar barrage of the game at the North Slope. The barrage killed many Germans: The end result was a Polish Major Victory, but it didn't come easily. Click for the first post in this screenshot series. Again, here are the links to the DARs: Luke's Rambler's Edit: Thanks Mord! Edited June 22, 2015 by Rambler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Played that scenario against vKleist a long time ago. I think he ended up with a minor allied victory, not sure. All I do remember was it was a vicious brawl. Lots of fun. I don't recall having a StuG though. I only remember the Pz IVs and Panthers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rinaldi Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Screenshots after my own heart, nothing like a good old smashing of armor. Can you drop a link or a name to the Uniform mod however? Edited June 22, 2015 by Rinaldi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks y'all, glad you liked them! Definitely recommend this scenario for H2H play if you're looking for an intense game. Awesome series of screenies Rambler! What horizon mod is that? The horizons are from Aris's horizon mod: http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods/4811/detailsThere are two horizon options in the download, and I believe the one I'm using is the first option. Screenshots after my own heart, nothing like a good old smashing of armor. Can you drop a link or a name to the Uniform mod however? Which uniforms? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Playing unmodded at camera level 3 and above doesn't show the game off in all its potential glory. I wonder how many players do that and miss out on all the immersive good looking stuff? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
