Tashtego Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I got CM:BN a few days ago and have just been fooling around with the scenario editor seeing how things work. I setup a scenario where the A.I. controlled Americans with a company sized infantry force (less arty and heavy weapons) but with 2 jeeps attacks across open ground towards 2 German hvy mg42 teams behind sand bags. To make the attack a little more challenging for the Americans, I put a wood fence 60m in front of the mgs. I wanted to see how much the fence would slow the attack. I wasn't expecting anything theatrical, but as it turned out I was wrong. When the attack started, what the A.I. did was to load both jeeps with guys, race across the field, and ram thru the fence in 2 different locations, thus creating breaches for the following infantry to pour thru. Shortly after this, 1 jeep was knocked out with several shots to the engine compartment. The other jeep, however, continued at fairly high speed to ram into one of the sand bagged machine guns. Everybody in the jeep then jumped out, and poured small arms fire in the mg team, killing them all. The second mg team, turned their weapon on these guys, which allowed the charging American infantry to flank them, and while the Germans were preoccupied, some well placed grenades destroyed the second mg team. Not to shabby for a scenario that took all of 10 minutes to throw together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 It sounds like a lot of fun... But, I can't help think that charging MG's with men in jeeps would never happen in RL - that's the AI having some fun cos it knows the game" system/programming" better than we do lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wodin Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I remember reading in the Kurt Meyer book about them riding the motorbikes and sidecars at full pelt into a village in Russia all guns blazing. Must have been one hell of a sight. Oh if only we get motorbikes in the east front game for the krad units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Motorbikes and horse-drawn carts (which were by far the most common mode of transport)... But, am not holding my breath, since my xnt suggestion re including hookers in CMBN was not pounced on... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Yeah... Having hookers would have been glorious. But, there you go... The moral imbalace of game developers... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tashtego Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Fair enough on the pics. I'll give it a shot. Mike 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tashtego Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Ran the scenario about 10 times, and each time the AI did a little something different. The jeep never did manage to run into the sandbags, but I think from the photos you get the idea what was going on. The last photo is when I believe the jeep struck a mine.
