kohlenklau Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) A fun contest. Anybody want to enter this contest? The "prize" is to be determined. Help me design the kampfgruppe to attack a small BEF infantry force at Les Attaques on 23 May 1940. It was the 1st Panzer Division. I am using CMRT with the F&R module. Because I want the BEF to have anti-tank rifles. Right now it looks like this... I have 50mm mortars and LMG34's.

kohlenklau Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Here is Niehorster's page for that division at that APPROXIMATE time. http://niehorster.org/011_germany/39_organ_army/39_pz-01.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 This is a 2-edged sword. You want to try and be accurate but there also can be an element of "add this toy!" My buddy will play me PBEM in this scenario here on the forums in a few weeks. He says the half-tracks should not be there BUT they would be cool to use. hahaha I am thinking to delete those two 251's and change to trucks with towed 37mm ATG and towed 75mm IG. Kradshutzen? We aint got no kradschutzen! We don't need no kradshutzen! I don't have to show you any stinkin' kradshutzen! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 An extra prize for anybody who knows how to tap into those "strength returns" or "strength reports" where they say, 48 of X are operational, 3 in the shop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) The winner is announced! Mr E.R. Bradshaw of Napier Court, Black Lion Road LONDON SE14.

kohlenklau Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 The book arrived ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So, it seems that the axis force is composed of infantry with LMG's, with some pioneer support using a flamethrower, backed up by just machine-gun armed vehicles, wheeled or maybe tracked. Later in the battle some 2cm cannon armed vehicles join in. I will roll with that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted July 26, 2023 Author Share Posted July 26, 2023 Nobody chimed in. Not a single entry. Surprise! Mr. E.R. Bradshaw was not an actual forumite. So I get all the whizzo butter! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Return to seriousness. The scenario editor details are noteworthy of how I have crafted the German infantry force. Anyway, for anybody out there interested in making CMRT seem more early war @Artkin @Suchy here is what I did. I set date to May 1945. Quality to poor. Purchased a shifstamm kriegsmarine battalion! I only needed a company size force so I deleted out a bunch of stuff. The mod turns them into German infantry. Return date to June 1944. Region is Soviet Union. I get 99.9% LMG34. No rifle grenades. I don't see any G41 or G43. I have only 2 or 3 panzerfaust 30 or 30k among the company. Go to those squads and detach an anti-tank team. You lose 2 riflemen but they take the panzerfaust and you can use an exit zone filter near the axis set up zone to pull them out of the scenario early. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augh my biggest problem is a lack of getting 10 man squads and a 4 platoon arrangement with german infantry. The single mg34 is appealing, I for the most part generally get favorable results by setting quality to poor in the editor for a 1942 setting. For 1942 that does sound nice. btw the orsha maps 1 and 4(?) port directly into cmfi. I desertized them and removed the trees, it looks good. I even made an attack/defense scenario using the full map Edited July 26, 2023 by Artkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suchy Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 @kohlenklau I look in here and read. Only for the game I do not have time for now. I greatly appreciate the efforts and the results are downloaded to my drive. I'm still waiting for KV-1. Well, and I would like M1117 built on the basis of BRDM in CMSFII... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with your body odor, Phil, although it's far from pleasant. It's just that people like you, JM, Vacillitator, LS (where are you, mate?) and Falaise are getting more and more rare on this forum. I've followed your France 1940 mod, and although I'm not very interested in that period, I wonder why it did get so little response, while at the same time quite a few people are asking for a Blitzkrieg 1940 CM. That really puzzles me. Still, I hope you guys don't get discouraged and keep up the good work and wait for better times.

kohlenklau Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 I tapered back my production rate so I am at a sweet spot with NOT being so discouraged. Well, if folks are quietly enjoying it, I am fine with that. It has almost 1000 views in CMMODS for whatever that indicates. Maybe like a fat chick at a bar late at night near closing time, lots of looks, but who takes her home? https://www.thefewgoodmen.com/cm-mod-warehouse/combat-mission-fortress-italy/cmfi-other/cmfi-france-1940-mod/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may underestimate yourself, Tim, but I won't. People like you are the reason why I stick around The reason why I support Phil is entirely selfish. I'm scared as hell that he's gone one day. And than CM is really in trouble. I'm worried about Mark. This is not like him at all. Something must be wrong.

I tried to find an appropriate blushing emoji, but failed. During Phil's recent visit I made the case (at some length and great expense ) that we do not want to be without him. Whether the copious quantities of beer or the curry made a difference I don't know, but he hasn't jumped ship yet. And snooping somewhat regarding Mark, it seems he visited as recently as last Tuesday, perhaps briefly. My fingers and toes are crossed for his full return... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
