The Second Most Frustrating Thing About CM


Recommended Posts

Now that we know CM doesn't have a hold fire command because troops just fired their weapons whenever they felt like it...

It is also fairly frustrating that CM lacks any weather selection method for Operations. To recreate the appropriate weather for a historical operation, one must open, and close, and reopen and close, and reopen and close the operation unless or until it finally selects the desired condition. I.e., overcase, fog, rain, snowing. It would seem to me there should be a selection method for those creating the operations to simply tell it what the conditions are.

"Gentlemen, you may be sure that of the three courses

open to the enemy, he will always choose the fourth."

-Field Marshal Count Helmuth von Moltke, (1848-1916)

More reasonable would be to offer both the method we have now, where weight is placed on the "prediction" but the actual weather is a random event, and also a way to absolutely ensure that for any given battle fog or snow or rain or shine must prevail. This accomodation should also be provided for the scenario designer to select the weather for individual battles within an operation,
