Richard Morgan Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 In the British Army (then as now) infantry sections were commanded by Corporals, with a Lance Corporal as 2IC. The Sergeant's job is/was Platoon 2IC. I note with dismay that in CMAK, British sections are STILL commanded by Sergeants. :mad: :mad: :mad: I seem to remember this being discussed at length on the CMBO forum and I am intrigued that this little inaccuracy has managed to find its way into CMAK :confused: Having said all that... it doesn't affect play at all, and I am very impressed with the rest of the game. Keep up the good work! Richard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 It's an engine limitation that just affects all nationalities, in the A Walk in the Sun scenario, the sergeant who took over the platoon in the film is a lieutenant in the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the guy leading the troops going for the bridge is also a looey, so that's two just on the Ami side. The Germans get four for just over a couple platoon's worth of men.

Michael Dorosh Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Bummer. And no lieutenant colonels, either, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is this an engine limitation? If you can call a sergeant "Unteroffizier" or "Unterscharfuhrer" or whatever it is in Romanian and Hungarian, why can't you call a British sergeant "Corporal" instead? :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Morgan Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 Michael, I couldn't have put it better myself. I don't suppose that there is any reason why this can't be corrected by patch, or by mod... or is there? Richard :confused: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
