SS_PanzerLeader Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 hehe that would be sweet if there were some non functional aircraft representations - for some added scenario enjoyment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_PanzerLeader Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 I was just thinking more on the lines of a commando assault of a foggy airstrip somewhere deep in Germany ------------------ SS_PanzerLeader.......out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedy Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 They will have to have airstrips by CM3, how else can we recreate the LRDG and SAS raids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Tom Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 CM3 Should have airfields, and aircraft. I can cite a few examples. During Operation Crusader, the most fought over piece of territory was a captured Italian Air Field, Sidi Rezigh (SP?). The 6th Royal Tank Regiment rammed and destroyed virtually every plane on the field when it was first taken. It was then the scene of some BITTER fighting for the rest of the battle. Maleme Airfield on Crete was also another important historical battle for an airfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisC1009 Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 I would be awesome to do the German raid on Eben Emael. Hmmmm Wonder if this is possible? If it is, I just might have to start timkering. Hmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Gustav Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 Not only airstrips would be important, but also landing fields for gliders. Both airstrips and fields would be especially valuable for paratroopers, not only commandos. ------------------ There is nothing certain about war except that one side won't win. -Ian Hamilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Robert/1 Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 I can just see it now a platoon of Allied men sneaking around a German air strip and then... Well you get the idea.

Fenris Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 Thinking of trying to do a night raid scenerio with para's. Might try to have a squad or 2 in the force with satchel charges sneaking around at night and having a bunker as the main victory location. Green/conscrpit troops as guards of the installation and a couple of elite para/fallschirmjager platoons as the raiding force scattered over the map after their drop etc. From what I've heard sounds doable with the editor so I'm keen to see if it'll work.

Supertanker Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 If Madmatt can make a dam with the editor, I would guess and airstrip would be a piece of cake. It probably won't have aircraft on it, but you could just substitute something else for now, like houses masquerading as hangars. So, let's see some of those foggy commando raids, then.

Guest Madmatt Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 Hmmm, Airstip eh??? Perhpas I should fire up that editor again.. Everyone remembers the DAM but NOBODY talks about the original map I did! It was the Indy 500 Speedway... I thought it was cool... Just didnt have the UMMPHHH that the Hotte DAM had I guess... Madmatt p.s. I only took a couple of pictures of ole Indy too so that may have contributed to its lack of appeal... ------------------ If it's in Combat Mission, it's on Combat Mission HQ!

Joe Shaw Posted May 28, 2000 Share Posted May 28, 2000 Matt you've done it again. Now I can indulge my two favorite online passions, CM and Grand Prix Legends ... that red blur was my 1967 Formula One Ferrari, you can't hit what you can't see Forza Ferrari!

MikeO Posted May 29, 2000 Share Posted May 29, 2000 Surprised no-one's mentioned the famous battle for Carpiquet airfield in Normandy. The 12th SS against the Canadians. Lots of nice flat terrain for AT guns but I don't know how interesting an operation that would make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted May 29, 2000 Share Posted May 29, 2000 MikeO, guess Carpiquet is quite the prototype for an operation in CM. It took the Canadian 3. Infantry Division three days to capture the airstrip from "Hitlerjugend" (12.SS PzDiv) and it was the prerequisite for the assault on Caen. This could be a great operation in CM!

Panzer-Leader Posted May 29, 2000 Share Posted May 29, 2000 Fred, you wouldn't be able to represent the entire division in the operation. Nothing more than reinforced battalion size, I'm afraid. We...want..bigger...maps... How the hell do you include a signature? How come it's not working? (I was formerly PanzerLeader, and lost my identity after the crash.)

krm Posted May 30, 2000 Share Posted May 30, 2000 FWIW, Sturmbanfuhrer Meyer (of the 12th SS) had the 3rd Panzer Grenaider Battalion, a Recon Bn, a Panzer Bn (all from the 25th Regiment) as well as the Rgts anti tank and flak detachments despatched to both guard the Divisions left flank (due to the late arrival of Panzer Lehr) and to defend the Carpiquet Airfield. ------------------ krm - King of useless posts;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
