benpark Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Scotty-did you put the maps in the CMBB/Quick Battles folder? I didn't do anything to limit the forces...try to edit the map-and set whatever parameters you need for what you are doing. Also, try rearanging the set up zones in the editor. If that doesn't work, let me know-I'll look at the file again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalifVol Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 The 1st Army capture of the bridge at Remagen was the result of an advance in technology. The Tank/Infantry team that captured the bridge was equipped with M-26 Pershing Tanks. The far side of the bridge had a 88mm Flak unit on the ridge. Shermans would have retired in the face of such a foe, the Pershings did not, and rapidly dispatched the 88's with their own 90mm cannon. They then provided needed fire support for the infantry to capture the bridge. So, owing to the improved technology the infantry was able to sieze the bridge. The side note is that in March '45 there was less than 200 M-26's in the entire ETO. Talk about being at the right place at the right time! The M-26 was the late war US Heavy tank that political wrangling and poor "offical" assessments of German Armor resulted in it not going into mass production until October '44. The book "Pershing" gives a great account (Duh, the book is about the tank). (Ya know, this comment did seem in sequence when I started writting it!)

benpark Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Scotty, I just ran a test, and I was able to put 3 battalions on the map. The QB screen is where you allocate the force sizes-this has nothing to do with the map. You need to look at the QB setup you are using-how many points are you alloting? If you want a full out, massive battle, use 2000+ points, and allow youself to choose your forces. Like I said, you should go into the map editor and place flags and setup zones to your liking.
