noob Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Man, I would dread that set-up phase :eek: Fortunately not all the forces you see will be on the same map all at the same time as the players will be responsible for which units appear on which CM map Basically i'm building all the necessary maps and OOB's to play the Panzer Campaigns scenario at my signature as an umpireless CMBN operation, what you see is the entire OOB for the Allies, in the event of a CM battle this main OOB will be imported by the Allied player onto the relevant CM maps in the CMBN scenario editor and whatever forces are not present in the battle will be deleted, another version of the same OOB will be used to track the combat effects of the CM battles that occur, the same applies to the Axis forces. I'm converting the maps from Close Combat 5 Invasion Normandy (Gold, Juno, Sword mod), they are highly detailed with visible terrain elevations and a number on each building showing the amount of storeys, if you go to this link you will find what i mean, a veritable treasure trove of map pictures: http://www.closecombatseries.net/CCS/modules.php?name=Downloads&cid=150 Just click on the name of the map, then the small image to enlarge. Here's the map for Carpiquet and Airfield 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zukkov Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 i suppose they could be covered up by the gazillion units on the map, but i don't see any tanks. did canadian infantry not have tanks in their divisions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c3k Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 One big SHIFT-Left Click box to select them all and a QUICK order about 10km away should get it done. That's an ambitious project. Best wishes for success! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a question though: you spoke of importing a OOB into a CMBN map using the scenario editor, I must be missing something. How do you import an order of battle into the scenario editor? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 I have a question though: you spoke of importing a OOB into a CMBN map using the scenario editor, I must be missing something. How do you import an order of battle into the scenario editor? I must admit i only just realised you could do this recently, it's an excellent feature. Once you click on the highlighted button you are asked to import a .btt file from the scenario folder, so i have complete OOB's of both sides as .btt files at the divisional level, i.e. the 12th SS Pz Div, 716th Inf Div and the 3rd Canadian Inf Div. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 There was a discussion of this back in March and at least 2 OoBs have been posted to use this way. It is a pretty nifty idea to create OoBs that can be easily imported into any map you want to use.
