Hortlund Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 S P O I L E R . . . . So I decided to try the Maleme operation. First impressions while going over the setup. The map is beautiful, really really good. It captures the rocky mountanious terrain extremely well. The German player starts with his paratroopers scattered in small small groups all over the map. There is also alot of open ground to cross before reaching the airfield. This should be interesting.

Hortlund Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 The scattered remains of two platoons of paratroopers has managed to reach the outskirts of the airfield, and are now preparing to go "over the top" This operation is absolutely awesome. The map is huge, and the battle has quickly devolved into a series of small unit actions around the key points. Here is a picture right before the paratroopers attempt to clear the western part of the airfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidan1 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY!!!!!, not fair that CMAK is delivered early to Sweden of all places. I bet the folks in East Timor are having a ball with it as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCrow Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Very interesting Hortlund, I hope than you show us one more detailed screenshoot of these paratroopers. is It a sandbag defensive position :eek: ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Yup, sandbag emplacements are placed like buildings in the map editor. The thing is, since they're map items they're a known entity from the start and don't need to be 'discovered' by attacking units like trenches or bunkers would. I don't have a clue what level of protection they offer. Perhaps as much as a heavy building maybe? But the advantage of sandbag emplacements is your guns can take advantage of that protection too, something they can't do with buildings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Strange that sandbags would be that easily spotted. That doesn't sound quite right, but I'll have to see how it works out in the game. Are they available in Italy too? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 One other thing you guys who already have it could check on. Is there snow in the winter in Italy? There should at least be light snow in the mountains. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect all us sheep shaggers will have to get together and do a sound mod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
