NPye Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) On the beach... Vierville Draw Looking towards the Vierville draw, the troops are held up by 3 wasp nests, which are tough to crack as not many tanks have landed to deal with them... A close up of WN 72... Troops huddle in craters or anything that offers some cover from the constant mortar fire and the hated MG fire... The troops fire at the WN with little effect... Some troops are panicked and try to retreat to the cover of the Hedgehogs and destroyed landing craft... The situation is the same to the left of the draw and progress is slow... but another wave of troops are soon to land and hopefully they may do better? Eventually small groups of Infantry and Rangers attempt to get to the sea wall... if they don't death is almost certain... “Two kinds of people are staying on this beach—the dead and those who are going to die.” — Colonel George A. Taylor This musters the troops and with hate for the enemy they move off as fast as possible in a sprint to the sea wall...

Vierville Draw? In CMRT?? Did I miss a geography lesson at some point? Irony aside, I'm wondering what mod you are using... It's simply beautiful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, I make all the mods myself except elements of Lucky Strikes awesome hedgerow hell and some vehicles by Aris and the damaged ones by JM Stuff. I pretty much make or adapt things as and I think I need them, notice the AT bunker, i completely re textured and added the circular overhang to make it look more like the bunkers on the Atlantik Wall, plus all the buildings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danfrodo Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 FlammenwerferX & PhantomCapt, keep it coming! This is great stuff, I really enjoy it. Thanks! I gotta add some of my recent to this thread, some CMCW fighting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfrodo Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Playing a 1979 CMCW scenario that so far is one of the best of any CM title that I've played. Large meeting engagement with lots of options for offense & defense. So far things going pretty well for the US. Set up: advance mech infantry & tanks through possibly observed area using smoke to get to some of my objectives. Saw 'em coming and got into good firing positions across the valley. M60s & TOWs had hard time but finally knocked out RU tanks: BMPs used terrain to mask movement but got caught by another group of M60s w TOWs I had rushed to the RU side of the valley on the right of the battle: With those threats mostly dealt with, time to begin my big flanking operation. But to do that I first have to knock out the reverse-slope ambush-roadblock in the woods. Fortunately my scouts heard the BMPs so I knew it was there. Organized a big infantry-tank attack from three sides, and it worked . One last thorn in my side needs to be handled: Four T72s(64s?) have been sitting at the edge of some woods in overwatch position the entire battle. My artillery knocked out two, but two were still stubbornly constricting my ability to poke my head of the slope on my side of the valley. But with the roadblock gone, I could come at them from behind, from the woods. Lost one M60 but knocked out the bad guys. Four lovely smoke plumes. Now forming up for what I am hoping will be a rampage through russian backfield on their reverse slope. Takes time as my forces all thread their way along single forest track. Russian infantry with some tanks still moving on my side of the valley in dead ground, but hard to engage them so will have to wait until they crest the ridge. Gonna be quite a shootout at that point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Captain Posted October 20, 2023 Author Share Posted October 20, 2023 We are now under the 30 minute mark. These men were victims to a nasty ambush from a PPsH squad of @FlammenwerferX Soviets. C'est la guerre. Columns of smoke rising from burning vehicles marks the path of the German advance. Panthers prowl on that deadly deadly hunt... Success! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of it is Russian although there are definitely a few German tanks burning out there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Captain Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 An idyllic country scene, if it wasn't for all the bullets flying around... There is nothing like CM. The micro battles within the battles are absolutely riveting and at times even more memorable than battle itself. Here, our last turn ended with two hardened enemies, facing off at almost touching distance, neither team intimidated by the bullets flying past, and the grenade is in the air... Every meter I take, every new ridgeline or clump of trees, every direction I turn another group of these guys pop up to ambush and harass our attack. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
