Gremlin Posted April 21, 2001 Share Posted April 21, 2001 Hello all, Some of you may remember the series of "Combat Mission Boot Camp" articles I wrote a while back. These are detailed introductory guides for the newer CM player and anyone wanting a refresher on some basic tactics and concepts. Article topics so far include artillery, half-tracks and light vehicles, and tanks and other heavy AFV's. The illustrated articles include explanations and tips. I had wanted to revise and expand the articles but never found time due to work and other obligations. (I've been out of the CM loop for a while, sadly.) Hopefully I'll get around to that and write new articles too. Manx, who posted them originally, has kindly reposted them at his superb site, Combat Missions. Many thanks to Manx and all those who sent me feedback in the past. [ 04-21-2001: Message edited by: Gremlin ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manx_CM Posted April 21, 2001 Share Posted April 21, 2001 Gremlin - It's great to have your tactical guides back. I have made the annoucement of their return late last night via SuperTed's FORWARD OBSERVER site as part of the "Sidewalk Sale" extravaganza. Congratulations once more on producing them in the first place. I know many people have, and will find them to be, extremely useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itchy Posted April 21, 2001 Share Posted April 21, 2001 Well done Gremlin, good way to kill time at work reading your articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted April 23, 2001 Author Share Posted April 23, 2001 You may have seen the news during the sidewalk sale, but if not, there's a brand new article in the series that Manx has posted--same link as above. It covers combined arms, overwatch, suppression, intelligence, and other important concepts of mutual support among units. The article is geared towards newer players, but hopefully anyone can enjoy it and find something useful in it. Thanks again to Manx for posting the articles.

nedlam Posted April 24, 2001 Share Posted April 24, 2001 Those articles saved my bacon. I was pitching a fit trying to figure out how to use armor. I read the article on it and sent my buddy packing the next battle. That tophat/lowski trip is highly effective. Thanks again Gremlin. I'm going there right now to print up and read the new one.

Gremlin Posted April 24, 2001 Author Share Posted April 24, 2001 Glad you found them useful. It seems that sticking to the basics and being patient will bring victories more readily than trying to be too clever, something I used to do and regret [ 04-24-2001: Message edited by: Gremlin ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACTOR Posted April 24, 2001 Share Posted April 24, 2001 Gremlin - I Love You Man! (sniff sniff) Keep up the good work. For those of us who are tactically challenged, these articles have been a useful tool. [ 04-24-2001: Message edited by: ACTOR ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted April 24, 2001 Author Share Posted April 24, 2001 Thanks. Hopefully I'll be able to add to the series. They're the sort of articles I wish I could have found when I was new to CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
