George MC Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) A wee something I put together. This video showcases content from the Combat Mission Red Thunder Battlepack 1 released by Battlefront.com. It's a brief overview of each scenario, what it's about and the main intent; it also covers the campaigns (including a brief summary of the main campaign branches). There are NO spoilers in the video chapters. https://youtu.be/wyrRX4bP2mM Edited June 18, 2023 by George MC 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfrodo Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 oh Boy! Thanks GeorgeMC, can't wait to watch! I'm currently early in Panzergrenadiers in Hampkampfeld. Looks great so far. But you are a sneaky fella so probably will be getting smacked around pretty soon. Started new job a couple months ago and it put quite a crimp in my CM time, but should have more time going forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn2002 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Great movie, George. I see I missed some scenarios, which I'm going to play now. Good idea to make this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye HKL is one of my favourites, so yeah be interesting to see how it pans out. I've seen players tackle it in ways I never foresaw during playtesting so ended up doing some AI plan tweaking to account. Cheery! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the engineers left in reserve. I plan on crossing the far right bridge & use the terrain & woods to shield my flanks...... I bet you are laughing right now, knowing I am making some big mistake I placed TRP to help facilitate this advance. We'll see. Holiday for me today, maybe I'll get some progress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always terrified of what sneaky tricks General GeorgeMC-ovich has in store, but decided this was best path forward. I've got first contact and realized I didn't put a TRP in this particular spot, but STUGs & 75mm halftracks should clean this up pretty quickly. The infantry are assaulting also. OF course I'm caught right at the traffic bottleneck coming out the woods. Next turn I'll get spread out & get a lot of fire onto the enemy. Distance is good for the halftrack MG gunners to lay down fire without getting killed, at least not yet. https://imgur.com/4i98IvShttps://imgur.com/4i98IvS 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only they carried a few more HEAT rounds, but I can see why they didn't - they're not meant to be tank destoyers, but I have one in Mit Karacho which is doing an admirable job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are very useful. And it hurts a lot when they get hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had one sitting behind the corner of a barn kill 2 T-34/85's that went by showing their flanks in a PBEM earlier this week. The HEAT round is pretty effective. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
