Wild Bill Wilder Posted July 27, 2000 Share Posted July 27, 2000 Putting one up today that seems to do well in PBEM on the Game Depot at TGN-CMHQ http://combathq.thegamers.net Did anyone play Periers - Roaring to the Rescue? Did you get the wounded Germans out of the clutches of the evil Amis? Well this one is a little more serious. Based on a historical event when a group of US Rangers infiltrated behind German lines to capture retreating enemy soldiers. General Gerow became concerned about their welfare and decided to send a tank column to reinforce them at a crossroads near Zerf. It became quite an adventure for the Rangers and the Relievers You've got a fight on your hands. I'll upload it soon as I finish here and I am sure Madmatt will put it into the Depot today. ------------------ Wild Bill Lead Tester/Designer Combat Mission-Beyond Overlord billw@matrixgames.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Bill Wilder Posted July 27, 2000 Author Share Posted July 27, 2000 I read it, but looks like you have gotten it resolved. I'm glad. Must have been quite frustrating...WB ------------------ Wild Bill Lead Tester/Designer Combat Mission-Beyond Overlord billw@matrixgames.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 This is slightly off topic, but I wanted to commend you for the Saving Private Ryan Scenario. Aside from the tutorial, that was the first battle I played when I got my copy of CM. I was so enthralled by it that I played a half dozen more times before trying something else. It did an awesome job of recreating the final battle of Private Ryan, only this time I got a chance to change the ending. My only gripe, (and this is probably cause I was a newbie to CM) I was never able to find an effective use for Pvt. Jackson the sharpshooter. But I'll keep trying. Thanks again, and keep the scenarios coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted July 28, 2000 Author Share Posted July 28, 2000 Thanks Owl! That means a lot to me. Like you, I've played it twenty times at least, not because I had to, but I wanted to. Its one that...I don't know, if you loved the movie, the scenario has a great appeal. They are coming, buddy. This one today, hopefully an operatio next week and more as divine will permits. I put Jackson in the church tower in support of the MG. He got a few good rounds, including the crew of the 20 mil. I would love for him to wave his arm signalling to Captain Miller below. I'll have to imagine that one. I thank you again for sharing this with me! ------------------ Wild Bill Lead Tester/Designer Combat Mission-Beyond Overlord billw@matrixgames.com [This message has been edited by Wild Bill Wilder (edited 07-28-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noncom Posted July 28, 2000 Share Posted July 28, 2000 I've gotta agree with Owl on the Private Ryan scenario. I had downloaded it prior to even receiving my full copy of CM. That was in due, in part, to my affection for the movie...as well as a very high regard for Wild Bill Wilder's work. I played SPR 3 times before I even looked at the scenarios included on the disk! Great stuff WB. I'll be heading over to CMHQ now to download your latest masterpiece... Noncom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted July 28, 2000 Author Share Posted July 28, 2000 Thanks, Noncom. Looks like a lot of us hold that movie in high regard. I'm certainly looking forward to that HBO series, "Band of Brothers" from Spielberg and Hanks next year. I'll be posting it this weekend. Thanks, Fellas!

Wild Bill Wilder Posted July 29, 2000 Author Share Posted July 29, 2000 We'll do it Zaffod. I didn't mean to steal your thunder I'm glad you enjoyed the scenario. It does bring back pictures in your head of that great movie, doesn't it?

Guest SS Peiper Posted July 29, 2000 Share Posted July 29, 2000 Hey Wild Bill this is a little OT but did you ever see the movie the Bridge about a bunch of Hitler Youth who hold a bridge against Americans near the end of the war? Great set up for a scenario. SS Peiper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Bill Wilder Posted July 29, 2000 Author Share Posted July 29, 2000 Heard of it, SSP, but that is one of the few I've yet to see. I have heard good things about it. I got to find it somewhere.
