Offthewall Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 I think it would be fun to be able to create scenarios where you have Americans vs. British or Germans vs. Germans. When CM2 comes out you could have the Americans fight the Russians. Who cares if it isn't realistic, it would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compassion Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 A mixed force of US and German's against the Russian? The Patton Option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ol' Blood & Guts Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 Well, the pitting of Allied armies against one another is simply not possible in CM simply due to the way it was coded. Whether it be German vs German or American vs British, etc.. Because as the side selection is in the Demo, you can only pick between Allies or Axis. ------------------ <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by guachi: I think we should nominate Robert/1 for a "Captain Manieri Award"<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 The Patton Option... Oh yes! When Combat Mission 2 rolls around, I too will join the ranks of those who pray for an option that allows mixed nationality forces and same nationality versus same nationality scenarios. While I dread the concept of taking a Sherman up against a late war Russian tank, the idea of playing out Patton's Drive to Moscow in Combat Mission 2 is enough to make me pre-pay on my Combat Mission 2 pre-order now. Steve and Charles, I know it is very early to start begging for features in Combat Mission 2, but this is one that I'd be thrilled to see. Thanks, -Lurker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ol' Blood & Guts Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 This does bring up a interesting question though. Are there, or can there be, scenarios that have a mixture or combined allied nationalities, such as Brits & Amis vs Germans?? ------------------ <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by guachi: I think we should nominate Robert/1 for a "Captain Manieri Award"<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Babra Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 hmmm.... Shermans, Pershings, assorted German things... vs. IS-3 et al. Think Patton could/would "drive" any further than the Oder? Maybe across a nuclear wasteland, but even then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 Yes, you can mix allies together in Combat Mission. You can do a scenario with Canadians and Brits for instance.

I imagine that if this hypothetical scenario had actually happened that there would have been lots of Sherman tanks in use. Of course, any unit that I command during Patton's drive to Moscow would be heavily stocked with Pershings, Panthers, and lots of dedicated air support. -Lurker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ol' Blood & Guts Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 Thanx Matt, thought for sure that that would and should be possible, but haven't heard of such on here. And what is exactly on the fly design battles? Does it mean that you can edit an already existing scenario or what?

Offthewall Posted May 27, 2000 Author Share Posted May 27, 2000 Is there any chance that a patch would be created to allow allies to fight against each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OberGrupenStompinFeuhrer Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 This is kind of a mixed thread, but regarding the "Patton option". I think the Wermacht discovered in 1941/2 what Napoleon had discovered in 1812. I suspect Patton would have discovered the same thing again. Which is not to say that an attempt to drive on Moscow would not make for many interesting tactical engagements....I just would not expect them to ever end.....

How dare you expose my dreams to the harsh light of reality? In my mind, I can easily see Patton and Guderian making sweeping attacks across the steps and crushing all opposition. If you didn't have one of the coolest names on the entire board, I'd have to take serious offense. -Lurker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 'Pattons' drive to Moscow'? Isn't that the one that was wiped out 50 miles west of Berlin. ------------------ IN VINO VERITAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
