Guest Shatter50 Posted October 16, 2000 Share Posted October 16, 2000 I have recently started an operation where the German infantry out number the allied troops 2 to 1 the allies have 2 Pershings as an equalizer but the problem is by the end of every battle I am out of HE shells and am force to fire armor shells at the infantry which do very little but does hold the enemy back. Anyway my thought was to have a Ammo and repair zone for the tanks and vehicles to return to to resupply rounds. Also a vehicle that carries ammo to the tanks and troops would be a good idea.

patboivin Posted October 16, 2000 Share Posted October 16, 2000 I agree with this, but this kind of thing has been discussed before. A lot of other things could be done from one phase of an operation to the next: ammo dumps capturing AFVs and equipment re-combining infantry into new teams or squads re-entering abandoned vehicles digging in setting booby traps in buildings cleaning up mine fields a bit of recon setting up new artillery reference points dig tunnels On and on. The problem exists because CM is intended to be about tactical engagements, and operations are stretching that line, we are beginning to get into resupply and redeployment. I agree with you, it would be great if we could do all those things. It would be neat too if the time between phases of an operation could be longer, e.g. from a few minutes to a few hours, to up to a couple of days. Each side could re-deploy, dig in again, resupply, etc. and then the battle would continue. We cannot also negotiate cease fires for prisoner exchanges, always a good opportunity to do all the things I listed above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most long battles are only going to be an hour or so long. If you run out of ammo after 30 minutes, that leaves less than 30 minutes to get back to the resupply area, load ammo and travel back to the fight. Ammo trucks for emplaced (non-moving) arty pieces like what was in Steel Panthers 2 might be nice to include in CM2, though. ------------------ Cats aren't clean, they're covered with cat spit.
