No, but that's funny! Although I guess it is, just not the one @The_Capt was referring to. I'll give it another day It does have to do with the map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had them buzzing around for most of the battle and not yet once have they fired, nor been fired upon (though I don't know if the oppo Anti-Air gun is alive or not). No nothing, one got shot down! The other one was suppose to come in the last several mins, shortly after KOing the Vulcan. So was excited but for an unknown reason the order was cancelled or called off. Same thing happen to most my US air support. Since I don’t use air support much, anybody know why this happens? Thought it was weather related but it’s only a mist in this scenario. Edited February 22, 2023 by MeatEtr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 During the last few turns the Hinds attacked two targets, one successful hit on a Bradley and a suspected hit on an Abrams moving just out of view. Got several attacks from my US CAS (had them in the air most of the battle and Soviet Shilka fired only once and two Igla launches) that hit several targets and missed some. And unfortunately some Blue on Blue infantry losses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent back another turn... i hope i did it right, because time left (me as Russian player) reported 1 min left when i pressed the red button... in the other battle it reported 2 min left, so i didn't notice immediately... It is a bit confusing if we must stop when it is 1 min left or zero min left... anyway, thanks for the great battle... that was a massacre... with Russian you almost succeded in the first sudden attack... i didn't expect an attack so early... my attack with Russians was decimated by your airplanes (i remember 4 to 6 IFV or Tanks destroyed), even if i think i killed 4 Abrams and the 2 TOWs vehicles... but i forgot there was a 5th Abrams tank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I just checked the forums after busy workweek (not finished yet unfortunately) to find this news posted a few minutes ago, CM:MiddleEast 73 confirmed!

Lethaface Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 That's just a wild guess after googling Jazreel and Israel came up. To be fair it's not a German sounding name and I had actually downloaded the scenario but never even contemplated the egg was in the scenario name lol. Well played. If it's indeed a CM featuring in the middle east during 70s I guess that will get a lot of people hyped. Most of the resources (terrain, vehicles) should be there so why not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have been tad too optimistic with my last gasp Soviet attack... Yeah really enjoyed that thank you - you kept me on my toes. I thought I'd got the jump in the Soviet attack but you soon shut down any advantage I might have gained. Oh and you made large holes in my Blue defense when you played as Soviets. My surviving M1 (with some help from the Brads and Dragons) did the job though. I was pulling back out of the village to avoid your arty and infiltrating infantry and screwed up my timings hence losing some guys and a Brad to my own helos. Yeah great fight thanks. Awra best with the next round 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chibot Mk IX Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 I was wondering why there is no return file for more than one week. And today I loaded CMCW again. Crap! My opponent has returned his turn a while ago, but I didn't get the email notification. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFCElvis Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 I'll let Slitherine know that the email notifications have been spotty. This battle has been nuts. I don't think that my opponent is on our forums. Our battles are coming right down to the wire. Round 2 will end today. I think at 17:15GMT (Going dark for a bit. @Warts 'n' all, I'm seeing my boy Elvis tonight in Atlantic City. Pretty stoked.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For years I play pike & shots, FOG 2 and FCSS on PBEM++ and this is the first time I didn't get a notification email. Not sure if this PBEM++ problem is only occurred with CMCW 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatEtr Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Come to think of it, I think I did miss one or two emails. So this issue does appear to be pretty rare. But yeah Round 3 started today, good luck everybody! Im facing off vs @gfs26 which apparently is not on the site. At least not under that name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cargol Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I checked the rankings and I saw that my opponent in 2nd battle got some 9000 points for the battle in which we did not play. I posted about it earlier on. I think that this tourney thingie is more like a farce. Such a shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
