Sigurd Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 I'm quite a bit disappointed by the comportment of the german tanks in Jaegermeister, when I'm playing the russian side. I realized they are just sitting back in the rear area, aligned as in the editor default setup, unable to see anything from there (i surrendered to see where they sat). They're just letting my troops slaughter the german infantery without moving at all !! I chose the "default settings" for the computer set up, but god, that allows them to move to hunt my armor !! but they don't !! ---*******SPOILERS****---- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Here's the picture of these lazy bastards : To see it by yourself, download the game file (macintosh-format) : Lazy bastards saved game game was saved at turn 6, i made my men run towards the german positions, in order for the german to clearly see where the russians are. i could have shown turn 15 or 25, it's just the same, the panthers don't move... Any idea?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameroon Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 This is one of those "sometimes it just happens" things. All the German weapons came into play in my game, so figure it bad luck. Try again if you'd like, or let the computer do its own setup (dubious sometimes, but you could ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigurd Posted October 3, 2002 Author Share Posted October 3, 2002 Well if I launch the game with "free to place" setup, the AI puts the Panthers in the woods behind the graveyard, a far more judicious place. But I tried to launch several times the game from the start, with "default setup" for the AI, and it always leave his panthers back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I tried to launch several times the game from the start, with "default setup" for the AI, and it always leave his panthers back...I have to say, that seems pretty strange to me. I played the scenario at least 2 times (possibly 3) and had no problems with troops not rearing their ugly heads Just a thought about the Panther's behind the church. That's actually not that great of a place for the Panthers to be. Since CMBB models optics, you want Panthers, Tigers and other AFVs with better than standard optics to be further away. That way they should have a much higher chance of hitting than their counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigurd Posted October 3, 2002 Author Share Posted October 3, 2002 I agree with you Cameroon, it's not the best place to take advantage of the long range superiority of the panther. I was just meaning it was better than nothing (sitting in the back) But i'm still having the same problem. Could you (or anyone else) just send me a saved game, where you chose the allied side, default setup, and save it at turn 1, after the setup, but before the first order turn ? It would help, I hope, having willing-to-fight panthers... Otherwise without the german armor, it's too easy... Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowman74 Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 It looks to me like they are content and happy sitting on their victory flag. Thanks, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arax3 Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 I played this scenario with the default setup and me playing the Commies. The big cats blew the heck out of my guys and the Nazi won a total victory. My JS IIs were ineffective and reminded me of a covey of Brit Shermies trying to break through from the beach!!
