GoofyStance Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I've played a scenario where a Stuart (or Sherman, I can't recall exactly) was hit by an 88 while the former was stopped hard up by a small house. The tank exploded spectacularly, and the structure caught on fire the next turn. No crew members survived, so I know they didn't duck into the house and subsequently get shot at. Weather conditions were hot, dry, and windy, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrek Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I discovered a new sound file when my Greyhound got behind a Jagdpanzer IV and set it on fire, and the TC says "burn baby"! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Russian Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Your troops didn't have to leave. The fire won't hurt them if they were in the area before it caught fire. If it catches fire and you are outside the area you can't move into it. Fire is a strange animal in CM. Panther Commander 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panther Commander Thats weird. Is that a bug? I know trops abandon buildings about to collapse, so I assumed it would be the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panther Commander Thats not entirely true. You troops can stay in the area of the fire only for awhile. Ive seen several times when troops of mine are in an area which catches fire only to be auto-moved(AI) several turns later when the fire gets too fierce. I think troops can move into a area with fire as long as the fire isn't too intense. It all depends how bad the fire is, that goes for houses too. As for how quick or slow a fire can brew up, i just had a HT burning in a wheatfield for over 10 turns until the wheatfield finally caught fire. Just more randomness that makes the CM battlefield fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPK Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 There are two stages of fire in the game, one stage is how it usually starts and it can last that way for the entire game. Sometimes it becomes much larger. You can tell the difference by the smoke coming from the square. The former is much smaller than the latter. The climate conditions and a bit of randomness probably determine if it will go from stage one to two. The second type will not allow units to occupy the terrain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
