Mad Russian Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 HSG is beginning to release our Battle of the Bulge scenarios on the SD. We will release a few each week until we have them all in your hands. They will be listed as HSG B scenarios. Enjoy.

Gurra Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Just finished Never Known against Allied AI and I must say it played really well. I love those small well thought out scenarios. I´m looking forward to more releases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you liked it. There are several others already on the SD in the pack with more to come. Panther Commander 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucho Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 O.k., I know this question is old, but I do not get it: Are there bmp.numbers for snow-covered trees (pines and woods), and if yes, what numbers? I think it is essential for late bulge scenarios to have some snow-covered trees or to have trees without leaves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 the problem for trees is in the parameters. it must be winter and frozen for the tree bmps with snow to appear. you would have to have a set of snow covered trees numbered for no snow bmps and swap them in for the battle. make sense? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 btw i renumbered the tbm bare trees and made a new bmp from a tree and brush. let me know if you want a copy. i use ed's cmbb trees but you need to renumber them. go into the editor, set to dec 44, italy, dirt. mud, cold. make a random map. you will have bare trees, pines with no snow. now change to light snow, cold, preview again. now snow and frozen. water changes too. even with no snow on the ground, frozen will make water you can walk on. snow and cold = liquid. i think this is correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 at the proving grounds, in design tips, i have started a section for seasons and the visual effects of parameter changes. trees and water are done. see ya there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we don't release them all at once there can be late entries. IF you don't see it let me know. I'm sure if it is a worthwhile battle someone will do it for you.

aka_tom_w Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 OK there was a GREAT CMBO scenario with the Sanitorium in it I think it was called "The Sanitorium" (or not?) but was the one where the German try to take the area around the infamous sanitorium but I don't recall which town or village it was in or which was close by. Was there not a post some time ago where someone had claimed to have map a VERY detailed CMAK map of the entire AREA of the the Battle of the Bulge and when I read that I had assumed THAT map would have the Sanitorium on it. thanks tom w Originally posted by Panther Commander: </font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by aka_tom_w: Hi Are there any scenarios with the Sanitorium in them? thanks -tom w Not that I know of but there are four designers doing the pack and I haven't seen all the entries yet.

Mad Russian Posted August 2, 2004 Author Share Posted August 2, 2004 aka_tom_w, not sure. I gave CMBO away months ago, to promote the hobby. Haven't played it since CMAK came out. The sanitarium should be pretty easy to find if it is as famous as you make it sound. Panther Commander 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hi guys, I'm currently working on a historically accurate version of the Stoumont Operation you're talking of. It will be out shortly at Boots & Tracks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aka_tom_w Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 this is the post I was looking for has this map been released?? thanks tom e "McAuliffe Member Member # 2021 posted June 03, 2004 02:34 PM Hi, It happens, that I just designed a huge CMAK operation map - for those that know the area- stretching out from the east (Borgoumont) to the west (Targnon), over 4 km, based on a topographic 1:25.000 scale map. In the south, it includes the village of Cheneux, scene of dramatic close combat fighting during the attack of the 82nd. paratroopers. I am trying now to figure out how you can set up playable game against the AI on such a map. I was studying the order of battle in the various stages of the battle for the pocket of La Gleize-Stoumont and used the local museum brochure as a source. 7 KT's were left behind in La Gleize. None of them were found in Stoumont. From what I have read and saw on pictures, some of them were active during the battle for the Sanatorium of Stoumont giving support from the hamlet of Roua, just north-east of Stoumont. Apparently, they were able to make it back to the center of La Gleize. A couple of the abandonned KT's were found on the acces roads via Borgoumont and on the highway leading up to the village of La Gleize. 2 were defending the farm of Werimont (south of La Gleize) One of these -commanded by Döllinger- was later recovered and placed on the market square. Other KT's were destroyed or abandonned during the attack on Stavelot and on the road between Stavelot and Trois-Ponts. Although many sources, say that 45 KT's started the campaign, I hardly can believe that and tend to stick to the number of 14 as stated above. BTW, Is there anyone anyone that wants to try to test play the operation map? Unfortunately, I had to replace the KT's by the 'ordinary' ones.

Richie Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I think Eric is still working on his operation. In scale I think it will replicate 'To the Volga'. If you wish to test his Op I would email him through these pages... BTW, B&T have an operation coming out in the next few days dealing with the action at Cheneux. Stay tuned! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simovitch Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 You can find Eric "Mc Auliffe" website here It's top notch stuff, but at this point mostly CMBO related. Eric, of course will know more about where he's going with CMAK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 thanks I will be looking forward to this one for CMAK -tom w Originally posted by simovitch: You can find Eric "Mc Auliffe" website here It's top notch stuff, but at this point mostly CMBO related.

Kingfish Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 You will not find a more accurate Bulge map than Eric's, be it in CMBO or CMAK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McAuliffe Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Hi, Sorry for the late reply, I had to dig up my password in order to log in again under same handle. BTW. Thanks for the nice comments. I picked up indeed CMAK and I am working on some scenarios regarding the La Gleize - Stoumont Pocket and Stavelot Bridge. Unfortunately, I am too short on free time to test them out. So I will probably just release some maps to the community. Most of you know more about historical OoB's then I do anyway. On the other hand CMAK allows you to import maps into the QB generator. This way, it leaves you the option to play smaller sized battles on historical maps, with your own choice of arms, if you prefer. If you check out the Scenario Talk forum, please have look at the wonderful invention of Pyewacket This add-on will allow you to transform any interesting CMBO map into a CMAK scenario map or operation. I am sure, I will transform a couple of my CMBO scenarios and maps. If anyone interested, I will send some work in progress by e-mail.

simovitch Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 posted by Kingfish: You will not find a more accurate Bulge map than Eric's, be it in CMBO or CMAK. -------------------- Kingfish, (and others ) if you have the time, download my HSG B Twin Villages Op (CMAK), Rollbahn A (CMBO) or my HSG B Fighting Withdrawal (CMAK) battle. They are painstakingly accurate using autocad imaging and gridding transpositions. (just like Erics Map making tutorial) I used 1:25000 topo from the time period, at 5m contour intervals. Being a Civil Engineer and Land Surveyor makes me a bit anal about terrain modelling and accuracy I do wish there were more maps like Eric's out there.
