PoppinHobbit Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 I mourn the loss of the old anthology, but it was suggested a new one be created. I'll update links regularly and really appreciate links that may be posted, so if you have a good thread for strategy then post it below.

RSColonel_131st Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Good idea! With CMAK, some Newbies might show up, and it always helps to find the basic concepts in one single thread. Lord knows I made lots of use of the old one. Mine clearing German vs Russian Tanks in 1942 Why can't my Forward Observers ride on vehicles? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markshot Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 PoppinHobbit, Great idea! The best way to go would be to have folks add links in posts and you to maintain the master list in your first post. This would make it a lot more organized. When you get enough, see if you can get an admin to sticky it! Thanks, all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc420 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 From a newbie who's playing the CMAK demo while waiting for his CMAK/CMBB bundle to arrive .... STICKY !!!! please And to both the original authors and the person who started this thread.... THANKS!!!!!!! (oh, and BTW, from other boards I've seen, the hint about editing the first post to include the other listings that people suggest is a good idea. Keeps a newbie like me from having to read through what will probably grow to be a 20 page thread) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shosties Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 How to attack like the Germans/Americans/Commonwealth Intended for CMBO, but you can take away elements for both CMBB and CMAK. Meant to portray something like historical/realistic tactics and force composition. Calling all you tactical grogs and The "How to Attack Like A German/Russian" Threads Similar style intended to treat the Russians in CMBB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shosties Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 PH, you can remove the first thread I mentioned as it is linked in the first post in the third. New JasonC: Infantry advance illustrated (was infantry advances over open ground) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoppinHobbit Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 Yup, updated again. I came here after reading that JasonC thread on infantry advance. That was amazingly helpful. I might actually have some kind of thought behind my moves in my next game! A first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurtzDonut Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 This is very interesting and informative thanks for this post!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Kruger Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Some system of sorting would be very helpful, at the very least identifying between CMBO and the two later games. But I would prefer having articles marked or sorted into all three game categories. Just my input. -J Kruger- 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoppinHobbit Posted June 16, 2004 Author Share Posted June 16, 2004 I'm sorry guys. I'm still around, but I've been distracted for a long while. To my suprise I got accepted for an internship and I'm carrying a full time job for the first time ever during my summer. I'm 17, so it's a lot for me. I might actually pick up Combat Mission again, it is fun. But I have to go a 40 hour week, I have summer reading, I am learning PHP, C++, VB.net. I just don't have a ton of free time. I'll look over the articles though, sort them, and like always check back and accept people's suggestions. I'm not an expert, so I don't know what is the most use to you all. I'm relying on feedback for a lot of this. I'll update the thread soon, and check back regularly now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retigade Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Before you are going to learn good tactics in CM you have to remember two things because these tips become very handy in combat.. 1.Destroyed vehiles don`t serve cover.. so the enemy is able to shoot right trought them 2.When you have to run trough steppe to the next cover use always run mode not move because if you walk trough they will be eliminated Capish? The real thing... So those two were easy to remember. But to think your own strategys you have to have shallow and opened mind remember that too.... You have to think like real General in the war you cannot kill your own army like there were always more to put to the frontline because that wont work. You have to think and after that comes the action do not rush because allied`s generals didn`t rush whit their strategys if they did they had very good luck. The computer isn`t so bad opponent like other human cause the human thinks much further the situation. Next thing is that don`t think that the opponent is easy to win... Because the opponent could have better strategy than you..... Vechiles... Now we are talking about Panzers,Tanks and Transpoint vechiles ok? The first rule don`t ever send truck or jeep to steppe or road if you havent check that is there mines or anti tank squads coming because if you do it that way the next thing what you gonna see in the screen is flaming truck/panzer or jeep. Before you send your vechiles to there you have to sneak to some cover like in rocky area to see that what is coming if you are absolute sure that there isn`t any mines and anti tank troopers in hide or coming you can send first a jeep whit securing tank whit it if something happens you have to strike back when you stil can. Because if you start to sneak back your troops will be killed and vechiles will be immobile in few secs so you start cannon firing and then you send your troops to safe and after that you can send your vechiles to cover. In some cases you have to send more fire power to the fight and rescue your mens and panzers hell out from the open ground so this was the first lesson in the Strategys i hope that i will write more text files whit full of knowledge.... from useful strategys 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markshot Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Yes, but it is incomplete. Many of the original posts that I had selected for inclusion were in fact multi-page. When that work was done that you linked to, only the first page of the post was included. Sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAsta_KFC Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Is it possible to combine all these threads into some sort of downloadable format, like a PDF, which can be regularly updated? It could also be used for offline browsing, or *gasp* abusing my university printer credit to print and bind for toilet reading? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Retigade, Excellent point, but only partially correct. K-Killed vehicles (the ones that explode and burn when hit) do provide cover, but the ones which get knocked out but aren't K-Killed provide none.
