John_d Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I was looking at Combat HQ tonight and I found some pictures of a map of a dam (for CMBO I think) and its incredible! I was wondering if anyone had a copy of it that they could email to me. Was thinking of using it to make a commando raid type mission 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking of using it to make a commando raid type mission I wonder if it would work in CMBB or CMAK though - CMBO had a "feature" where you could have water at different levels. I think the two newer games default water tiles to the lowest level at which water appears? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 No, just water/marsh/ford tiles connected with each others are levelled to lowest. Anyway, I recall that old, old map was for CMBO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 The scenario is called "Fertile Fields". Back during the days of the first scenario depot it was rated the best scenario vs the AI by a wide margin. Excellent theme and design, and very challenging to boot. E-mail on the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I remember an excellent dam scenario that wasn't fertile fields: I wish I could remember the name. It was raining, and there were a series of reinforcements for the attacker, which were outlined in an excellent briefing battle plan. Some were glider troops. what was that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 GAJ, That is Fertile fields. Polish Engineers, British Glider troops, The German tanks in the truck park. The word .doc which featured the grainy black and white "recon" photos. Sound familiar? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenAsJade Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Yeah - really familiar: that's it! An awesome map, from my memory. Could that really have been CMBO? It doesn't seem like that long ago that I played it! As you said, an absolute benchmark in scenario design, and the grandfather of the creative maps that we're seeing today! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanok Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 There's a scenario for CMAK called Eder Dam that has an excellent map. It's very challenging for the attackers trying to take the dam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renaud Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I made a map featuring a lake/damn/river combination not too long ago: dam map It's a scenario. Feel free to clear the map and use for your QB's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
