Uberpickle Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Of getting a good friend into the game Combat Mission. I setup CMBB on his computer and I made a map especially for me to teach him on. We play via Hot seat and well, it was a riveting experience! Things I taught him: *Move infantry where there is cover *Always assume a building is occupied *Never move into a building, ASSUALT *When you see a Panzer IV down a road, do your best to avoid it to get it on it's sides *Never send a Russian tank after veteran Soviet infantry in a factory, ever. *Always be aggressive and smart about your movements *Do not lump your units together, especially in a building *Never drive tanks down streets without infantry accompaning them *Dont rely on machine guns to carry the day *Probe your enemy! Know your enemies strength and plan accordingly *The Germans are not a joke to be scawffed at *The BA-64 is not a high-tech dune buggy *Armored units are not invincible *Units get scared, especially away from their commanders *Do not wait around on a meeting engagement *Use formations! Incorporate the Platoon HQ or any other HQ into your unit formations. Never ever however, use the platoon in the front. If you have a machine gun, dont send him in alone. Put him in a formation. Needless to say before my curfew was up, we played 15 turns and I ripped him nine ways from sunday. I'm going to post a picture of the map. The conditions were snowy and overcast so maybe that taught him how to use weather to his advantage (which he got quickly!)

Aragorn2002 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I guess it should be Russian tank after GERMAN veteran infantry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
