Baneman Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 ... Back in CMBN 1.1 I had a member of a squad run off as the rest of his buddies were loading up in a truck. He just kept going and going and the truck kept waiting an waiting. Eventually I told my opponent were he was and asked him to take him out. Shortly after that the truck go going again Haha, shoot the deserter ! Brilliant ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Gotta admit to doing something similar with a guy "faking" a surrender to get intel on my boys. I warned him the Geneva convention protects those trying to surrender, not spies. He didn't take the hint. Area fire cures many things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Ha Broadsword just shot one of my WIAs turning him into a KIA. Only reason I noticed was because he screamed. Didn't think they did that. Vicious fight in the dark in a forest. fun stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I executed a prisoner once, I think he was one of Boo Radley's guys. Held him to ransom too over a couple of turns, negotiated a release package in the Cesspool but dumb old Boo insisted on an Obama-esque 'we don't negotiate with terrorists' stance so poor Johnny Appleseed has to take a bellyful of 7.62 as a result. Did I mention Boo Radley is a roight prick when it comes to concern for his troops? I bet he didn't even write a nice letter to Johnnie's parents... It was recorded on film as a warning to others...

BLSTK Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 On the subject of taking prisoners, it should be noted that I believe in equal opportunity vehicular homicide. Not only have I run over enemy combatants trying to surrender, I have attempted to do so against traitors who give up the fight. (I refuse to elevate them to the status of "soldier"). Shooting them is not only impossible, but too good a fate for these heathen. Sadly, due to coding within the game, a tank which had express orders to flatten them simply drove around them. For want of a Panzershreck, the TC would have perished as well. Where have all the good men gone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Long ago, I was playing CandyLand with my then 5 year-old son right before his bedtime and I slipped the "Queen Frostine" card in the deck so he'd get it and we could end the game... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 i regularly will kill PoWs that cannot be taken into custody. As mentioned above they provide enemy intel. also I sympathsize with Ian, early BN had a wandering squad member problem that could cause huge problems, especially with ATGs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 @Stuka Yes, a POW in the enemy rear with his hands up is like a live feed video to you of everything he sees. Once he goes white flag a flappin' then the feed is finally extinguished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) @Stuka Yes, a POW in the enemy rear with his hands up is like a live feed video to you of everything he sees. Once he goes white flag a flappin' then the feed is finally extinguished. I recall trucks and such doing the same thing. I remember running some scouts to the enemy side of the board in a jeep. I parked the jeep behind a hedge and sent them scouting. My opponent went to great lengths to get them scouts, but the jeep was close to a main road and it fed me info throughout the battle as to units he was moving down that road. (Now I remember it being pointed out but I do not recall if that has been fixed or if the game still functions like that) It seemed silly being able to find out info from a abandoned jeep Edited January 27, 2015 by slysniper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfhand Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Well, the most gamey thing I've done started in the editor... there was a minor tiff between a member and c3k, who challenged the member to any battle any time. I stepped in as a second and this was the result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slysniper Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 It looked like navel fire if I had to make a guess.There were a few scenarios that had it in and it was fun as all heck to call in.Back in the old CMx1 days, I made a scenario where basically you had to stop a German armored assault with navel fire.Represented some battle that I read that was in Italy like a day or two after the Americans had landed. It was fun and possible 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Understandably, they abandoned your army in droves. Michael To shoot one of your soldiers would be akin to a mercy killing. I'm surprised you even have an army. All those Conscious Objectors didn't leave to escape fighting an "unjust war". They just didn't want anything to do with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAZ NZ Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I once bought an incredibly gamey force: loads of mortars during an infantry-only ME, various calibers, dropped most of them (pre-planned) five minutes into the game on every reasonable approach to the VL. I don't think even twenty of his men made it within LoS of the VL. It was pretty lopsided. Most ladders ive played on, house rule is no spotted artillery till turn 8 and no pre planned trps in meeting engagements. Its on table direct mortar, tank, mg fire etc only and no planned missions into area you cannot see ie deployment. Else it can turn into an artillery wins in a few turns game. Just a waste of time setting up amd playing it lol Thats pretty gamey I used a truck as a recon scout once In CMBN. Sadly no assault boats to put on hills like the original CM. That was the worst thing you could do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
