Vencini Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I gave the order to break the wall of this house with a demo charge. Not inside, but outside the house (to not get in it) and... They blasted the wood fence... LOL And the second member of the sniper team didn't recover the sniper rifle of his injured comrade. Mmmm... Will be in the future a key to turn on / off the snow effects ? Regards and good weekend 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all titles, there is a smallish chance that the weapon of the KIA/WIA soldier is itself damaged and it wont then be recovered by buddy-aid.

Was the team in that location with a blast command into the buiding? Or were they in the field with a blast command into the building? Or was the blast command up to the side of the building but not into it? What happens if you give them a blast command into the building now, does it work? 2 hours ago, Vencini said: Will be in the future a key to turn on / off the snow effects ? ? what do you mean? Do you want a hot key to hide the falling snow? Or something else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbarbaric Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 wait, is it even possible to breach the wall without getting inside the house? i mean i know it is in real, i just assumeed if you breach something in CM pTruppen are going to finish on the end od their breach point, so inside the house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 yes, it is possible. Try this - but make sure there are no fences, heges or walls near by - place your breach team in the second action square away from the building's wall and give them a blast command up to the side of the building. Honestly I have not done this with a building but it is my normal way of doing breaches for walls and bocage etc., so perhaps I should not be so confident . This way your engineers do not end up on the other side all on their own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew H. Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 I usually give them a blast command into the building/across the bocage, followed by a "quick" command back to the other side. I haven't suffered any casualties that way - but your way seems even safer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( no, you can't tell in advance ) Oh!Thanks for the info. Just bad luck... 14 minutes ago, IanL said: yes, it is possible. Try this - but make sure there are no fences, heges or walls near by LOL I did not want to storm into the house, because there was, maybe, enemy soldiers in the other building, and the breach team would be wiped out. Finally, I had to use this one... I test again with a diagonal command and it worked. But the team ends exposed both sides of the house Just behind the wall or parallel (they finished exposed), the wood fence was blow up ... 35 minutes ago, IanL said: ? what do you mean? Do you want a hot key to hide the falling snow? Or something else? I like play WEGO, and during the order phase, you can spend a lot of time giving orders...So many time with the snow effect it's a bit annoying...On the other hand, for the realtime player, I think it's more inmersive...

Ultradave Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 For the snow effects, the scenarios are what they are, as defined by the scenario designer. For quick battles you have a lot of flexibility to choose snow and ground conditions. Hope that answers your question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user1000 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) I played as Americans and I just did a minor defeat on warrior mode, my first vehicle that was nailed was the Tiger II with an E8 (2 shots). The first shot turned the commander into mist on top of the turret. Edited April 1, 2016 by user1000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the sound of it he'd like an Alt+key to toggle the visible snow falling from the sky effect, rather than being able to change weather and ground conditions for a QB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 We spend quite a while waiting for a game set in winter, and someone wants to turn the snow off. The mind boggles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafter11 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) BLAST I recently saw conversation on this topic on I think the CMBN forum. If you are playing WEGO you can pause the Blasting team long enough before they execute the BLAST command so that the turn ends right after the blast occurs and before the team crosses the blast area. In the next turn, you cancel the Blast order and move the blast team back. I tried it out and it worked. The amount of time the blasting team needs to execute the blast depends upon their experience level. I think my team was Veteran and they needed 15 seconds. Consequently I put a 45 second pause on the Blast command. This is a gamey solution, but hey you just can't be murdering your blasting teams.

Barkhorn1x Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Typo in the Lutrebois briefing = "34th ID has been tasked...". Should be the 35th as the 134th IR belongs to that formation. A small point I know but we do love historical accuracy. Source: http://www.history.army.mil/books/wwii/7-8/7-8_24.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warts 'n' all Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Vencini I don't think that you can accuse people of being impolite just because they enjoyed my comment. You are correct that certain things can be toggled on and off, but my views on toggling are quite well known. For example, I refer to tree toggling as playing the game in Telegraphpoleland. That doesn't mean I'm being rude to people who want to toggle the trees. For me the appeal of this game is it's realism. I can just imagine if my granddad had wanted the snow turned off. Paddy:- "Field Marshal, for the love of Jesus, Mary, Joseph and all the saints. cud yers not seez yer way to turning the snow off? Me Bedford keeps getting stuck in the sodding stuff." Monty:- "Ah,Private Fitzsimons, your Catholic God may perform miracles, but my father was an Anglican Bishop and in our church we don't rely on miracles. And that is why YOU have been provided with a shovel, Now go and use it." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
