Ash Posted March 8, 2000 Share Posted March 8, 2000 In the editor will you be able to add casualties to units? This would be perfect for hold the line scenarios or ambushing missions where your ambushing a column coming to reinforce a shotup battalion. Another question, will you be able to pre plan bombardment missions a la steel panthers? ------------------ The names Ash, Housewares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorak Posted March 8, 2000 Share Posted March 8, 2000 Ash, i don't think there is any way to model a unit that is shot up. The closest you can come is to start them with half-squads(assume the other half has been destroyed). As for pre bombardment... When making the map, I'm assuming that you can place rubble tiles to show this,and set up units in start zones that would match the situation. CM I think starts the battle with the assumption that "softing up" has already taken place. So its up to the scenario designer to represent this.

Guest Big Time Software Posted March 8, 2000 Share Posted March 8, 2000 Lorak is correct. We will add pre game casualty capability, but most likely not for 1.0. Artillery missions on the scale of something like Steel Panthers is out of CM's scope and is therefore not an option. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howardb Posted March 8, 2000 Share Posted March 8, 2000 Half squads and lower morale should suffice shouldn't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted March 8, 2000 Share Posted March 8, 2000 Howard, yes it is a decent work around. But we really would like to go one step further. And will, at some point. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coe Posted March 8, 2000 Share Posted March 8, 2000 Can depleted squads combine into a single squad (kinda like forming a Kampfgruppe I suppose). It would make sense though if you had 3 men in one squad left to combine with 2 men left in another squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted March 8, 2000 Share Posted March 8, 2000 Nope, can't be done at the moment Coe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted March 8, 2000 Share Posted March 8, 2000 Coe, this actually does happen automatically inbetween battles in an Operation, but it doesn't happen during a battle. A full unit simulates a cohesive unit. Cohesion does not come during the heat of battle when shattered scraps are tossed together, so it would be wrong to combine units during a battle.
