This time due to the homemade map's time consuming I have utilized a map designed by Willem (Dusty Road) that kindly put an empty copy at disposal at repository for everybody use.

So first of all my thanks and credit for the design of the map goes to him (credit is also on briefing).

I have imagined a sort of sequel - after the conquest by the US 7th armor div.- with Axis trying to retake (as often happen during WW2) the small village of Duron (I have called "Duron" from the first two letters of Dusty Road.

Map has been very slightly modified just to add rubble,wreck,destroyed vehicles and building from previou battle, or for gameplay purposes (but you can hardly recognize it).

VERY IMPORTANT: please take note that your men are close to enemies AT guns positions, so you will have all the time you need for the set-up phase, but as soon as you press the start button, you will be shortly under fire and losses will be inevitable. So keep your vehicles on the move and avoid vehicles slowdown.Look at the map carefully.It is not going to be a pigeon shooting of course.

2 minutest after start i lost ALL tanks and 3/4 of the SPW .....

[Marc Anton]

try and error maps are never funny

4 minutes after start

It makes absolutely no sense.

If you stay and play or try to run for some cover, in the end everything gets killed after some minutes.

The funny thing is to make map for person like you!!!.

1) YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BRIEFING;

I DO NOT KNOW ENGLISH VERY WELL BUT AT LEAST I CAN READ!!!.

On briefing AND ON TAC MAP YOU CAN READ THAT THE AT GUNS HAVE TO BE TAKEN OUT ON THEIR FLANK!!!.HAVE YOU SEEN THE BLACK ARROWS!!!.NOT GOING IN FRONT OF THEM!!.FOR THIS REASON YOU HAVE GOT INFANTRY.ARE YOU AWARE THAT IN FRONT OF YOU THERE IS A MINE FIELD AND TWO AT GUNS!!!. IT IS USELESS TO ARRIVE IN FRONT OF THE MINEFIELD WITH YOUR TANKS, TO DO WHAT?.

2)YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PLAY.

Are you aware that you can move your vehicles during the set-up phase!!??.

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THAT PROBABLY YOU HAVE TO POSITION VEHICLES BETTER, ON YOUR RIGHT, AND TO MOVE AT "QUICKLY" SPEED SO TO AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE OR DO YOU THINK SOMEONE WILL DO IT FOR YOU??!!.

You have just left your vehicles in their position, not even trying to make a curve, but just straight ahead in front of the MINE FIELD!!!.And you have posted even an image, and you should lead your men in battle!!!.Change game.Is not like "Men of war"

Have you played the campaign??.How do you think to win in the mission "Razorbridge" or some missions in "the road to Monterbourg".

3) YOU HAVE NOT SEE THE TAC MAP!!.

ON THE TAC MAP THERE ARE BLACK ARROWS INDICATING THE CORRECT WAY!!!.WHAT I HAVE TO DO, TO MAKE SIGN LIKE AT THE AIRPORT??!!.

4)it is EVIDENT THAT IN THE INITIAL PHASE YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW INDICATION, TO AVOID THE COMPLET DESTRUCTION OF YOUR FORCE.

5) IT MAKES ABSOLUTE NO SENSE TO PLAY LIKE YOU DO.

6) ON THE "VERY IMPORTANT" I SAID:"KEEP YOUR MEN ON THE MOVE AND AVOID VEHICLES SLOWDOWN".

YOUR VEHICLES ARE AT STANDSTILL.WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?.HOW CAN YOU JUST STAY THERE AND WAIT!!.

7)HAVE YOU SEEN THAT ON YOUR RIGHT THERE ARE OTHER TANKS THAT ARE NOT POSITIONED STRAIGHT BUT ON THE RIGHT SO TO SHOW YOU BETTER THE CORRECT WAY AND YOU HAVE ENOUGH ROOM TO PUT THERE ALL VEHICLES.

8) HAVE YOU EVER IMAGINED TO TAKE THE WAY I HAVE SHOWN ON THE TAC MAP??!!!.IF I HAVE SPENT TIME TO DO A TAC MAP AND A BRIEFING PROBABLY THERE IS A REASON.

9) THIS IS ALL THE TACTICS THAT YOU CAN PUT ON FIELD??!!.TO GO STRAIGHT AHEAD OR TO BE WAITING!!!

10) ON BRIEFING AND ON THE TAC MA YOU CAN READ AND SEE THAT ON YOUR LEFT YOU HAVE GOT HEAVY COUNTERFIRE,ON THE CENTRE A MINEFIELD AND ONLY ON THE RIGHT YOU HAVE GOT A PASSAGE.WHAT YOU CHOSE, THE CENTRE.WOW!!!!.

[orgit]

11) How Can You Arrive At The 4th!!! Turn And To Be Still On The Set-up Phase Position!!!!?????? As I can see from your image, it means that you Have not advanced at all or you have advanced at slow speed!!!????.incredible!!!.

12)This are comments completely out of any tactics, imagination, but the worst thing IS THAT YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BRIEFING AND YOU HAVE NOT LOOKED AT THE TAC MAP. UNCREDIBLE FOR A COMMANDER!!!!.

PROBABLY I AM NOT THE BEST MAP MAKER BUT TO COMPLAIN FOR A COMPLETELY WRONG TACTIC DUE TO YOUR MISTAKES NOT MINE, IT IS SOMETHING THAT LEAVE WITHOUT WORDS.

13) Many missions of CMBN are very hard, so as you said they are with no sense (without making any comparison of course).

[orgit]

THE AXIS FLAGS INDICATES YOUR (MORE OR LESS) POSITIONS.

CAN YOU SEE THE BLACK MAIN ARROW!!!!. THIS IS THE WAY YOUR VEHICLES SHOULD TAKE:SHOULD, BECAUSE IF YOU WANT TO SUICIDE IS YOUR BUSINESS.

AND HOW CAN YOU ACHIEVE THAT?

CAN YOU SEE THAT ON THE SECOND SET-UP ZONE (ON YOUR RIGHT)YOU HAVE GOT PLENTY OF ROOM TO POSITION ALL YOUR VEHICLES.

THE ONLY WAY TO ACHIEVE IS TO PUT ALL YOUR VEHICLES ON THE SET-UP ZONE ON YOUR RIGHT (YOU DO NOT HAVE EVEN TRIED TO DO IT). IF YOU TAKE THE LONGEST WAY OF COURSE YOUR VEHICLES ARE EXPOSED LONGER . AND MOVE THEM AT "FAST" SPEED AT LEAST.I POSITIONED THEM IN ONE MINUTE.BUT IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO IT EVEN BETTER, WHAT IT NEEDS IS PATIENCE!!!!. MOST THEY GO TO THE RIGHT THE LESS THEY ARE EXPOSE, DOING A SEMICIRCLE.

BUT IT WAS TO HARD TO THINK AT THAT OF COURSE.

IT IS A NO SENSE MAP BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PLAY.

lol, something wrong with your capslock ?

[Fuser]

Orgit, for God's sake, stop this. I can understand the pain when someone doesn´t value your work or you feel yourself unfairly treated, BUT, you are being rude, have an unpolite obsession for Caps Lock, and overall cannot manage frustration. I think you are losing the focus here: if someone doesn´t like or understand your work, so be it, don´t lose so much energy posting, shouting or bashing criticisms.

Marc hasn´t been what I´d say precisely constructive either. Behind each scenario there is a LOT of work, so if you don´t like it either give a constructive criticism so the author may improve or simply do not post. Being negative without advice is denigrating somehow.

I have made hundreds of mods that people simply doesn´t like. So, guess what, they don´t even care to post, they simply don´t install them. Period. I am happy, they are happy too.

Well, I think I have seen this guy post over at matrix - in much the same way. I dont care if he has made a scenario - a dick is a dick.

Lol, well put!

[orgit]

Thanks for your post.

But it is absurd to receive critics like that and also in "the last road" they do not answer. They just critics and that is all.

they have not answered at one argument.

It is incredible.

But how this guys plays at CMBN
