Thomas Davie Posted November 1, 1999 Share Posted November 1, 1999 I've been playing the 'Last Defense" scenario over and over for a number of reasons, including a) do I have to unlearn, are my tactics as sound as I thought and so forth. I was pushing a column of 4 half tracks and 1 Tiger up a road. Figured I'd hide the Tiger inside the column of haftracks. ure enough, a halftrack immediately in front of the Tiger gets brewed up. The Tiger pauses, 1/2 turns to one side and starts to push the dead half track off the road. Reverses to the other side and shoves the half track off the road, and then starts to move forward again. Did I hallucinate this? It specifically happened twice and in 2 seperate motions. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted November 1, 1999 Share Posted November 1, 1999 NO, you did not hallucinate. It happened to me also. With me, it was one Stug pushing another Stug out of the way on the dirt road. At the time I could not believe it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher Posted November 1, 1999 Share Posted November 1, 1999 Yep. I had a Hellcat push his (burning) buddy backwards off the map edge. Cool. Preacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted November 1, 1999 Share Posted November 1, 1999 Just happened (for the first time) to me 10 minutes ago. So that's the second time I thought I hallucinated in 2 days. The first time was last night when I watched France beat New Zealand in the rugby world cup semi-final. Marko; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocal Posted November 1, 1999 Share Posted November 1, 1999 Yeah they said that tanks could push disabled vehicles off the road to make way. Even so you might want to have a tank reverse and move around the wreck, its a sitting duck when pushing the wreck to the side. BTW if you should find yourself in a traffic jam under enemy fire, have the vehicle in the very rear reverse, the vehicle in front move fast forward a few meters, and the rest of the vehicles will sort themselves out rather nicely. ------------------ "Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver.

Fionn Posted November 1, 1999 Share Posted November 1, 1999 THomas, oops did you guys not know that pushing knocked out vehicles was in? The TacAI does a lovely job of clearing the roads of wrecks doesn't it? Yeah that's in and functioning as of a couple of weeks ago... Pretty neat huh? Bet you've NEVER seen that in any other game ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted November 2, 1999 Share Posted November 2, 1999 Peter, those Kiwis played like headless chooks. Oh well, now you can spend *all* of your time on CM. Marko; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted November 2, 1999 Share Posted November 2, 1999 Nah, The All Blacks are playing in the playoff on Thursday.. The performance was shocking BTW... Do you realise that if it hadn't been for Jonah Lomu NZ would only have had 14 points IIRC? 24 points looks a little respectable but 14 points would have been a total walkover. ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuNZ Posted November 2, 1999 Share Posted November 2, 1999 Sheesh, let's get a lil' sympathy here eh? All these evil, evil shots at the poorly armoured underbelly of yer average kiwi. Not nice at all . Bear in mind that for 1/2 the nation the all blacks loss is an event (read catastrophy) of similar magnitude to BTS posting on this board "Sorry, CM is cancelled." (thankfully that ain't gonna happen ). Of course the other 1/2 of the nation shakes their heads and say "Fer gods sake, it sucks we lost, but it's a only game okay?", looks forward to the approaching summer, the beach, and the arrival of Combat Mission (well in this case anyways) .

Johan Brittz Posted November 4, 1999 Share Posted November 4, 1999 Peter/Stu - you know guys I think Rugby won this time - I and a lot of locals, press etc has been getting tired of the rugby league feel that has been developing out of the Super 12. The Bok games has been close on boring this cup and I never thought I would ever say that - FGS 2 games and only one try! TG for the French - maybe they'll reawaken the old running spirit in all of us. Hope tonight we can show the world how it should be played (by both teams) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
