jaeger8888 Posted December 2, 2012 Posted December 2, 2012 Has anyone ever won playing this scenario as the British? 0 Quote
DARoot Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 Greetings, Jaeger8888 Oh, yes, it can be done. But, it's not particularly easy. Try moving your main forces up the road on the far right, scout for openings in the barbed wire/minefield defenses as you get close to Battery D, and assault from right to left, "rolling up" your objectives from D to A (you'll be behind many - but not all - of the prepared defenses). There's also a fairly nice open area, starting in the upper left corner of the map (from the British perspective) leading practically all the way to the "hinge" between the trench systems defending Battery A, down which you might want to send your reinforcements when they arrive. Best o' luck, and give 'em hell. DARoot [Note: Your Vickers HMG is pretty useless in its Startup position, especially at night. Accept the inevitable, and plan on moving that slow asset to a better position, on one of your flanks (or with your Main Body), from the very beginning. The sooner you start it moving, the sooner you will find a useful spot for it. There are very few good positions for it (and a LOT of opposition) along that main central road, which (because of it's slowness) you will be tempted to take.] 0 Quote
DARoot Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Greetings, Erwin No, I shouldn't think so. It's one of the original scenarios that came on the CMAK disk. It's actual title is "HSG Chaos at Merville v3.cmg" and dated 6/29/2005, if that's any help. DARoot [sorry, Jaeger8888. This is your thread. I just happened to see this question first, and happened to know the answer. Back to you now, Sir.] 0 Quote
Erwin Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Thanks for the note DARoot. Apparently, it didn't come on my disk as I have nothing like that under HSG and I have accumulated over 540 CMAK scenarios since the game was released. (Altho' as a v3, I thought that sounds like a scenario that came later as a d/l from someplace.) Is is a good/fun to play scenario? If so, I would appreciate getting a copy. 0 Quote
DARoot Posted December 4, 2012 Posted December 4, 2012 Greetings, Erwin (and, apologies again, Jaeger8888) I Have CMAK v1.4 (the Vista upgrade). Perhaps that accounts for the discrepancy. I have no problem PM-ing you a copy of my scenario, but out of respect I will not do anything until Jaeger8888 checks back in. DARoot 0 Quote
jaeger8888 Posted November 19, 2018 Author Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) It's been a while, some 6 years to be exact, but finally got back around to working on the scenario. Good tips on how to win, but what is the rate of success on a first play through. I just find this one of the tougher scenarios. Edited November 19, 2018 by jaeger8888 0 Quote
Erwin Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) Well... better late than never... If you want people to play it, where can we d/l it from? Edited November 19, 2018 by Erwin 0 Quote
jaeger8888 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Posted November 20, 2018 Don't know of any download site. If you want to post an email address I can send it to you as an email attachment. 0 Quote
jaeger8888 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Posted November 20, 2018 Sent it to your email address. Should be part of the game install, but you now should have it. 0 Quote
Erwin Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Thanks. I got my copy in early 2000's and did not seem to have that scenario in my scenarios folder. 0 Quote
jaeger8888 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Posted December 6, 2018 How's the game going? I found it tough to find an approach to the Bunkers. 0 Quote
JoMac Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) Hey Erwin, I just PM'ed you regarding the Scenario, HSG-Chaos at Merville v3...It's located in my Dropbox below. https://www.dropbox.com/s/xs21mgw5lt3jjjv/HSG-Chaos at Merville v3.zip?dl=0 Edited December 30, 2018 by JoMc67 0 Quote
rocketman Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 I guess this scenario is the airborne assault on the gun battery at Merville at dawn on D-day? I made a scenario of it for CMBN and it would be fun to see what it looks like in CM1. Can any of you guys post some screenshots. Alas, I wish I had a PC that could run the old games. 0 Quote
JoMac Posted January 1, 2019 Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Hey Rocketman, Here is my Dropbox Link for a Zip showing several pictures for CMAK-Chaos at Merville. Let me know when you get it so I can delete from Dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dawda73dd9felpl/CMAK-Chaos at Merville.zip?dl=0 Edited January 1, 2019 by JoMc67 0 Quote
