BeWary Posted February 26, 2001 Share Posted February 26, 2001 I just finished the Villers-Bocage Operation, playing as the Allies using v1.12. After the 3rd battle, I got the AAR and map. The map shows that about 6 German vehicles were placed in a field surrounded on all sides by bocage. They had no way to get out, and so were useless during the entire turn, except when I approached the field from the other side of the bocage. It seems that this is probably a bug, as I don't see how the tanks could have gotten in there in the first place. I have a picture if someone would like it.

BeWary Posted February 27, 2001 Author Share Posted February 27, 2001 Alright, fine then, I'll post the picture. Maybe that'll make someone say something. ------------------ "Liberty or Death?"

JoePrivate Posted February 27, 2001 Share Posted February 27, 2001 A couple things, one, that op is supposed to be played from the German side, I can't imagine a more lopsided battle if played as the Allies two, that looks to be the area where the Germans receive their reinforcements for the start of the second battle, I *think* the AI got so distressed at being stomped it never even bothered to deploy them Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that this is probably a bug, ...IMO this is a bug. Not with CM but by the map designer. No field should be totally surrounded by bocage, how would the farmer get in and out for work?

Kingfish Posted February 27, 2001 Share Posted February 27, 2001 Olle beat me to it, but he's right. Page 125 of the manual states that Bocage never completely enclose an area, so what you see is a map bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 Thanks for bringing that up. We'll have Steve and Charles look at it. It's not a design error since there are no Half tracks in the original set up, they come later on in additional battles so the game engine handles there palcement. This hasn't happened in previosuly versions of game. Will look into it see if something need to be modified. Los Los Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
