Jim Boggs Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 I tell you what, this scenario is FUN!!! Just for kicks, I played this, and let me tell you, if this doesn't motivate a new player to want more CMAK, then he does not get off on pure adreneline rushes!!! The set-up demonstrates clearly the effects of terrain, and how one can remain hidden in seemingly wide-open spaces. The usage of Indirect fire and it's terrific hitting power is amply demonstrated. (Try playing the scenario without using the mortar!) The mad dash to the radio tower was incredible, you could FEEL the excitement as you sped across the open ground, the building looming larger and larger, as your MG's fired at the Italian sand-bag positions. TOO MUCH!!!!!! Congratulations to Jeff for a great and fun scenario and to Battlefront for using this scenario for the tutorial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwxspoon Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Thanks Jim! That one was designed specifically as a tutorial; I had in my mind the commands I wanted to teach and basically designed the scenario around that. I do love those 3 inch mortars!!! jw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces_and_8's Posted December 7, 2003 Share Posted December 7, 2003 Agreed...It was a hoot, from setting up the BOF to racing pell mell across the open ground to the tower and other intermediate objectives. Loved it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeatEtr Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Its the very first scenario listed, called "!Tutorial-Relay Race". Reason for the exclamation point in front is so it appears at the top of the list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwxspoon Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Gen Splatton- when you start the full version of CMAK and you go to the scenario screen the tutorial is the first scenario listed. jw 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 If you think this scenario is good then you should try his newest - Well of souls. What a freakin' blast that was to play, and against the A.I. no less! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Russian Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Forgot to mention that I tried the tuturial and it was awesome. I probably wouldn't have tried it either until I read how good it was here. It sent me looking for my LRDG books to see what other actions a person might make a scenario on. Thanks for the heads up.

Cpl Steiner Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I played the tutorial scenario last night and managed to pull off a total victory with just 2 casualties - neither of which was KIA. Has anyone done better? By the way, does anyone know if the Brit unit shown in the scenario was the forerunner of the SAS? I know they started in the desert. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Russian Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Originally posted by jwxspoon: Panther Commander - an AAR would be great. Hope you enjoy it. jw You have one coming. We are a couple of turns into the fight. This is my favorite type of fight a Meeting Engagement. After WWII the Soviets did a very prolonged and in depth study of combat. They determined that almost half of all combats were meeting engagements. That seems high when you consider the amount of prepared assaults that had to have been done. Anyway it wasn't my study it was theirs...<G> The Russians defined a Meeting Engagement as, "at least one of the combatants meeting his opponent in an unexpected manner." They produced an offensive doctrine from that study that applies specifically to meeting engagements. All of that is very nice and has little relevence,except that having studied the Soviet art of war in the service, it is interesting to see how it works in application. The Russian studies were very detailed and their tactics for deployment off the move very refined. They were also still the textbook answer style from WWII. Anyway an AAR is coming.
