Wako Posted June 26, 2000 Share Posted June 26, 2000 Hey all, I'm making an amphibious assault scenario modelled on the D-Day landings at Dog Green on Omaha Beach. It's almost done, so I'll post it soon. While I was doing it, I noticed that if you place units into an Assault Boat (during scenario creation), and then you remove them from the boat, you cannot add any more units to that assault boat. The game acts as if there is nothing there but water as far as embarking goes. You can still move the boat etc., but you can't place anyone in it. I had to figure out which assault boats they were and then delete them from the OOB and readd them to get them to work right. Incidentally, I find that assault boats don't model landing craft very well. You'd be amazed at the kind of damage mere MG42s can inflict on a battlion conducting an amphibious assault with assault boats. Is there any chance we'll get an actual landing craft model in the 1.03 patch? Oh, and maybe some sand tiles? ------------------ wako "All models are wrong - some are useful.'' - George E.P.

137th Gebirg Posted June 26, 2000 Share Posted June 26, 2000 VERY interesting... I had often thought of doing a D-Day invasion scenario, but it already looks as if you're way ahead of me. Can you post the scenario when you have completed it? I'm eager to see how it looks... 137G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wako Posted June 26, 2000 Author Share Posted June 26, 2000 137G, I'll be sure to post it when I'm done. Should be in a couple of days. Incidentally, after playing and replaying the first few turns over and over again vs different German defenses in order to optimize playability you get a real appreciation for how suicidal charging those beach pillboxes was... Anyone know if BTS is purusing this board for bug reports? ------------------ wako "All models are wrong - some are useful.'' - George E.P.

Doug Beman Posted June 28, 2000 Share Posted June 28, 2000 Wako, post your problem in the Tech Support section of CM's forums. That should get a response. DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeydz Posted June 28, 2000 Share Posted June 28, 2000 Don't hold your breath on the Landing craft. This was pointed out before. Since technically, CM is "beyond" Overlord, they don't simulate any actions on the beachs. That's why there is no "sand" terrain, true landing craft, ect. Think the rational was that if you do a true simulation of the beach landings, it probably would not be very fun for the allied player watching wave after wave of his troops getting gunned down trying to make it onto the beach and achieve a beachhead.
