Panzer76 Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hello fellow CMers. I and Walpurgis Nacht are thinking about writing a CM tactics article. Walpurgis Nacht is the recent winner of the ROW tournament. When it comes to details on terrain and meticulous planning, you will be hard pressed to find anyone better. I’m a veteran TCP player who prefers competitive play under time pressure. Together we have around 8 years of CM experience. The reason behind the article would be to compile our combined experience in an effort to give some advice on the most commonly asked questions on this BBS, and perhaps on some not so frequently ones. Some topics that could relevant would be: *Unit selection *Use of terrain *Use of infantry *Use of tanks *Tactics for different tanks models depending on terrain and date *Recon by fire *On the attack *Defence *Meeting Engagements *Less orders is better At the end of the day, it depends if there is enough interest to warrant this investment of time, and what you guys (and gals!) would like to get some advice on. So, what do you think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Go for it if it's in you guys to do. Waiting for 'enough interest' likely means nothing will get done. Personally am not interested in QBs anymore, would more like to see something on armoured/mechanized tactics & strategies in the desert. The other 'theatres' have been around long enough and most players have spent enough time with them, that most know what to do now and how to get it done. Even simply a collection of 'tips, tricks and traps' would be welcome reading I am sure for the veteran and new player alike.

dieseltaylor Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 There will always be newbies - especially as we convert our friends to see the light. And for sure experienced as I am there is always something new to learn and/or evaluate. Go for it - definitely a service to the community. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folke Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 What about a collab site like a wiki? Where all members can edit and create an online "cm encyclopedia" or sumfink? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Good idea. Good idea folke as well. But an even better idea is getting all your tips & tricks together & just telling me. Honestly, I need everything I can get. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck Turgidson Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I would benefit greatly from your proposed tactics article. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salkin Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Make a search for JasonC:s posts his tactical skill is very impressive. He's a brainiac. If you want to know the colour scheme of a 1943 Canadian Truck, Grog Dorosh is the one to ask . If you need some additional info that is. //Salkin Swedish dullard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer76 Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 I and Walpurgis Nacht have decided to go ahead with the article. It will be done around early January. Thanks for the responses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salkin Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Well I guess Im not even a mediocre player then :mad: ! Well some people can teach but not do, that's just the way it is I suppose. You can definitely become a better player by using some of his tactics. I really learned some good stuff by reading his "advancing infantry under fire" post for instance (no I don't have a link). Panzer76 I'd really like to hear some details about Jasons playing style . Was he that bad ? I mean if you use real world tactics in CM you should definitely do ok. Please tell me some details about his skirmishes with Walpurgis. //Salkin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
