JOCHEN PEIPER Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 I was wondering this as I myself have not yet recieved my copy of CM. In the biggest of scenarios lets say, how many tanks can you have... around 10 TIGERS or is that too much... I just want a really powerful "KAMPFGRUPPE" to teach the allies a lesson in combat...

steph Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 Without spoiling anything, I would suggest you try the Villers-Bocage operation. It depicts Wittman's fight in a small village. You will get your share of Tigers and Panthers. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCHEN PEIPER Posted July 28, 2000 Author Share Posted July 28, 2000 Many thanks... I will be sure to try that one first when i get my copy of CM......... "IN ABOUT THREE YEARS" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelWeenie Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 IIRC, the limit for defenders in QB is now (v1.03) 5000 points. I don't recall there being a purchase limit in the editor, though. ------------------ "Belly to belly and everything's better" - Russian proverb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcelt Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 Perhaps you need to be taught a lesson on how to use a forum in a sociable and constructive way-------the first part of your post is a constructive question--but the second part is totally unnecessary, puerile, pointless and non-productive bluster.

maxm2 Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 Now, now, pelt, be nice.... As to 10 Tigers, I just constructed a scenario where 10 Tigers face 10 Giant Shermans (or whatever they're called) over a river with no other terrain or flora. It's quick-draw time, and totally unbalanced, as the Shermans' ammo bounces off the front of the Tigers while the Tigers slaughter them. Guess you grognards could have told me that....!

Los Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 There is a limit to the amount of units you can have, I hit that limit in the Carentan operation, it's a couple of regiments. Tops. Los Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntelWeenie Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 OK, n the interest of FAIRNESS I must come to JP's defense here. I (and many others on this forum) don't agree with most of the things he's posted in other threads, but that doesn't give anyone license to jump all over him when he asks a NORMAL, GAME RELATED QUESTION. I, for one, find no offense whatever in his original post in this thread. I find little difference between the "teach the allies a lesson in combat..." and half the taunts written by many other posters to each other. Had he said he wanted a powerful kampfgruppe to slaughter his enemies with, then that is something altogether different. Also, has anyone considered how this sort of thing looks to a new member of the forum who doesn't know all the personalities and past posts?

Spook Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 Look back into the topic threads for the last couple of days, Intel, and you'll also find a couple with a padlock. One thread was started up with a post by Jochen with the following quote: "I WANT TO RE-CREATE THE MALMEDY MASACRE..." Ahhhhh......yeah. To his initial "kampfgruppe" comment, I don't have any real problem. But with Jochen's follow-ons here, and his comments at the other padlocked topics like the quote provided just now, I'm detecting a "pattern" here that deserves scrutiny.

JOCHEN PEIPER Posted July 28, 2000 Author Share Posted July 28, 2000 F#CK, you americans are so touchy... You take everything so seriously, and you always butt-into where your not wanted... E.g. Vietnam, Korea Should I keep going... And for all those in the past discussions who actually took a shot at my Grandfather who is dead and cant defend himself... take a look at your history... OH YEAH! everyone remembers the holochaust, 6 million jews murdered... BUT does anyone know that over 50 MILLION people have died under COMMUNISM, NO.

Just some helpful advice, JP: while I don't necessarily think that it's right for everyone to have jumped on you in this thread, responses like these won't earn you any brownie points with the rest of the forum. If you want to get respect, you have to give a little. Shouted rants at how stupid Americans are (BTW, how do you KNOW those people were American? A lot of nationalities frequent this board.) is not the way to go if you want to be part of an intelligent discussion. The Korea comment kind of threw me. I'm pretty sure that when the North Koreans were throwing the Southern army back to Pusan, the ROK was grateful for any help it recieved. Not to mention that, technically, the Korean conflict was a UN operation. As for your grandfather: I don't know the guy, and I don't know what he did in the SS. So I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and not comment further on it. And I should HOPE American is good at protecting its own interests. Nations that aren't usually don't last very long as a world power. Let's just simmer down, people. -Andrew PS: I am American, just so you know. ------------------ Throw me a frickin' smiley, people!

Guest Rollstoy Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 Are there a lot of architecture students in Australia, too. In Austria it is quite a fashionable degree and too many people start it (there are no restrictions, grade-wise and no university fees). Afterwards they have huge troubles finding a job since there are too many of them! It is really a sad situation, especially since the average duration of the architecture studies in Vienna is 8 years! How come you live in Australia when your Grandfather was in the Wehrmach, by the way?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
