Phil Goodwin Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Alsatian: Thanks for the info re mine placement. Given the mine fields' locked condition, why does CBM even bother to include them? They sure ain't useful where they have been placed. I could understand if they were placed by the "enemy" (in the scenario I'm playing, that would be the Americans). But they appear to be my mines. Had I place them, they would have been quite helpful. What am I missing? Phil G. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 I´d like to read the answer to this one also, so I´ll just bump the thread some here... Dandelion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Maybe I am missing something or am not understanding your question and I didn't see the last answer you got but I will try to explain what I know about them. In a scenario the person making the scenario places the mine according to where he wants them and you have no choose in the matter, even if he chooses to lock your mines which normally he wouldn't but I suppose he could for whatever reason then yes you have no choose. Now if you are talking about a QB or a map that you yourself create then you can place them wherever you want. If you want the AI to have mines and you are crateing your own map then you can choose to lock the mines where you want them placed but that's kind of like cheating but you can do it. Now if this doesn't help then maybe I am not understanding your problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Thanks, it helped. Maybe it's my browser, but I can see only one posting above mine in this thread, and I became curious of the answer. Sincerely Dandelion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Goodwin Posted April 9, 2003 Author Share Posted April 9, 2003 To Lee: Icm 1947 RE: Mines Thanks for the input. I've been traveling and thus not able to respond. I am still confused. When I play "LeLorey A Hard Fight" (a scenario that comes with CBM) the land mines just seemed to be there in the set up phase when I play the Axis side (but not when I play the Allied side, which makes sense cause the Germans are defending and would use mines). But it did not seem possible to move the mines in the setup phase to what might appear to me to be more logical locations. Can these mines (anti-personnel and anti-tank) be moved or not. If "yes", how? Thanks again Lee. Phil G. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alsatian Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 In Le Lorey, the mines are locked in position. You cannot move them. That is the choice of the scenario designer. To find out why the scenario designer would do such a thing, you would have to find him and ask him, but one possible reason is that it is an historic scenario and the location of the minefields is historically acurate. At setup, any unit, including minefields, that have orange bases are locked in position and cannot be moved. Sometimes you just gotta play your cards the way they were dealt to you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
