Strangest Thing happened in CMBB

[General Bolt]

This DEAD Tank Hunter team launched a boomb after he was DEAD.

See they are dead.

Launching the boomb. Did I mention they were DEAD!!!

And the Dead guys get a KILL. :cool:

Is this a bug? :eek:

[MeatEtr]

Yeah, that happens, but not that often and it's not a bug. Keep in mind that what you see is just a graphical representation of whats going on in the combat simulation background. I noticed the timer showed he tossed it in about a second after it showed the unit as eliminated. Think of it more like this, the unit fired and got killed while the projectile was inbound to it's target.

I've noticed this more often when 2 squads are duking it out in close combat. As one squad gets eliminated, they'll inflict some casualities or get a grenade off right after it shows them as being eliminated.

I saw this movie once called "Zombie Lake" it had dead Nazi's come back to life in that too.

PS. Oh, the movie had about the same effect on me as your Zombie Tank Hunter Team had on you;

1. Disbelief 2. Shock 3. Nausea.

[Ace Pilot]

Maybe they were just "mostly dead."

[FerretHead]

They were dead but got better?

I think the key phrase to remember is that what you see on the screen is not what is happening. It's an illustration of what happened during the turn. CM is really a paper board game in disguise, overlaid with a nifty graphics engine that shows you what those little cardboard counters really did during the last combined movement and combat phases. Don't take what you see during the movie too literally.

Just another reason to use Michael Dorosh's ASL mod -- it puts you in the right frame of mind.

Sounds like zombies pretty much explains it. Every other computer game on the market seems to have zombies in it, why not CM too?

With his last breath, the grenadier took out his tormenter, sealing both thier fates to the beyond.....

Death is a feature, not a bug!

Remember, they're not necessarily dead, just put out of action. Wounded men could feasibly throw a grenade.

Of course, that's not actually what's meant to happen - otherwise you'd be calmly walked past an eliminated enemy squad when suddenly they'd all gun you down. :S

[slysniper]

Whatever the explanation is, feed my cm soilders the same thing them Germans had.

It's just a flesh wound!
