TeAcH Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 Remember Schijndel Road from Close Combat 2? I sure do. That was a great scenario. It was also the first one I wanted to adapt to Combat Mission and I think it turned out great. To see the map, click below: http://HOME1.GTE.NET/res00b57/Schijndelmap.jpg If you want the scenario, here is the link to get it. http://www.angelfire.com/wa2/dteachw/Schijndel_Road.cmb Try saving the file (right click?-Save Link). If that doesn't work, email me and Ill send it right back. BTW, Anglelfire has been flaking out so keep trying. ------------------ "Ah-ah, I know what you're thinking. Did he fire 6 shots or only 5. Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I've kind of lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum - the most powerful hand gun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, do I feel lucky. Well, do ya punk?"

Paul Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 The map looks great! I will try this one for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted June 25, 2000 Share Posted June 25, 2000 Great idea man. You plan on doing any more of the maps? Id have to reinstall CC to get a look at em again, but I cant possibly find the time to do that with CM on my HD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeAcH Posted June 26, 2000 Author Share Posted June 26, 2000 Thanks! Yeah, I do plan on doing some more but I havent decided on which ones. So many come to mind. Any ones in particular that you would like me to try to develop? Thanks TeAcH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rollstoy Posted June 26, 2000 Share Posted June 26, 2000 Dear TeAcH! I am so hurt! I wanted to be the first to do this! But I have not received my copy of Combat Mission in time! Anyway, nice job! Now, do you plan to make do a comparison between CC and CM? I have already prepared the OOB for CC4's Simmerath map for conversion to CM. This map is very convenient to convert because it has zero elevation differences but quite a few houses and woods! You can find appropriate battle-groups for both sides (US 2xM4 76mm, Germans 1 Pz IV/H and 2 Stug 75mm) to allow for an interesting fight! I strongly believe that this battle can be fought against the AI from both sides with zero casualties, at least in CC. I wonder if this will be possible at all with CM. Expect more info when I receive my copy of CM! Regards, Thomm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howardb Posted June 26, 2000 Share Posted June 26, 2000 This really brought back some good memories from the best ever CC. Just too bad the rest didnt play as well as number 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeAcH Posted June 27, 2000 Author Share Posted June 27, 2000 Just curious to see what the comments are from any of you out there that have played this one? Thanks TeAcH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochen2 Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 I loved CC2. CC disappointed me. But with CC2 i was really happy. I planned too, to make those scenarios with CM - but i´m still waiting to get my copy. Very good job!!! Jochen P.S. Wich scenario was your favourite one?

RobVarak Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 TeAcH, Had a blast with this scenario. SPOILER 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Got really lucky with my setup and early turns, knocking out both Panthers in turn 1! After that it was pretty much over. I'm going to try it again from the German side this evening. Thanks for the conversion. ------------------ Rob Varak Editor Site on Sound: The Web's Premier Site For Musical Discussion www.siteonsound.com [This message has been edited by RobVarak (edited 06-27-2000).] [This message has been edited by RobVarak (edited 06-27-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arien Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Jerry you should remember that one it was the demo map IIRC for cc2 as to a comp.. cc1 was most like CM to me. i played asl. CM is most like ASL in all the computer wargames i have played. there are 2 other computer games that come close to CM. one is Mech-brigade. i played that on a commadore 64.. and the other is typhon of Steel by S.S.I. it was for the c64 and for IBM machines. only thing different is the graphics.. much better now then it was top down view.

Joe Shaw Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Teach, I played it as the Germans and had a blast. I also got lucky on the first few turns ... SPOILER = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = I decided to move up the German left flank and pretty much destroyed the infantry and HTs over there with very minimal loss. My SP got knocked out immediately by that damned AT gun Then, of course, there were the airstrikes ... sheesh! Luckily I got away from the first two with no losses, the third time they came through the aircraft nailed one of my Panthers with MG fire through the deck. I finally infiltrated enough infantry to clear out the last pesky US infantry dug in by the bridge, as well as cleaning that AT gun's clock. Then ... it was time to duel with a Sherman. Ended up being a knife fight at very close range. Both turrets swinging to bear on the other. The Sherman got in the first round, but the Panther hit harder and killed him. I'm still in the game, and it looks like more armor coming on. A very good scenario, had a blast, thanks. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted June 28, 2000 Share Posted June 28, 2000 How about the polish drop zone in CC2. I still grit my teeth when I think of the losses my airborne units took trying to get across that damn field (with MG42s parked conveniently in the upper floors). Just when you make some headway, the SS rolls down the road with mech units. Damnit damnit damnit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeAcH Posted June 28, 2000 Author Share Posted June 28, 2000 Funny you should mention that Polish Drop Zone! I was thinking of the very same one! That was a great map and fun to play. Ill think Ill try to make that one! I am glad you all enjoyed Schijndel. Question? Did the presence of the AA gun help at all? TeAcH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 28, 2000 Share Posted June 28, 2000 Yes, the AA gun did make a difference. Jabo came in and AA gun started firing. Jabo killed the AA gun, but I think the AA fire made Jabo miss my Panther and dumped rockets or bombs on allied troops, decimating them in the process. Good job on the scenario. It is winable from either side and a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbo Posted June 28, 2000 Share Posted June 28, 2000 SPOILER SPACE - - - - - - - - - - - - Very fun. I played as the yanks and got an axis surrender on turn 16. I placed my gun and stewart on the main road with a sherman on other side of bridge by house and other sherman guarding other bridge (hey I didnt know where the germans were coming from ). Got VERY lucky on the first couple of turns with German armour just getting popped left and right. Then a bloody panzerfaust from maximum range crapped my sherman which I had parked on the north bridge. Then when my reinforcements arrived the bridge was blocked which lead to a comedy of errors as 3 half tracks and half the german and american armies all shooting at pointblank range waitdeep in water South german infantry assualts got wiped out by my hidden squads. After that I started to move forward mopping up and the white flag came up. Never saw any aircraft but either the scenario ended too soon or I missed it in the INTENSE action that was going on. I came away feeling very pleased I had won total victory playing the scenario "cold" first time out but I didnt feel the scenario was unbalanced either. Very fun scenario, nice job. _dumbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeAcH Posted June 29, 2000 Author Share Posted June 29, 2000 S P O I L E R . . . Thanks all. I appreciate the comments very much. Schijndel Road was on my mind the very day I heard an editor would be included with CM. Close Combat 2 was my favorite of the lot. The followings got poorer until cc4, which was laughable and an utter disappointment. Nonetheless, I am glad you all enjoyed that scenario. You know, when I first started this scenario by building the map, it turned out fairly large. The final map in the scenario seemed about right. Initially I thought it was going to be too small but after playing it a few times, it seemed fine. I am playing a buddy in Schijndel right now as Germans and we are having a helluva fun match. A real chess match and nailbiter too!! HA! I positioned my AA gun behind the Panther expecting it to provide cover. When the Allied FB arrived, it dropped two bombs and descimated my Panther and AA in one fell swoop. The AA didnt even fire a shot. Granted the FB arrived from behind it. Oh Well. Yeah. What a fun map. Take care, TeAcH [This message has been edited by TeAcH (edited 06-28-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeAcH Posted June 29, 2000 Author Share Posted June 29, 2000 Oh and one more thing....Dumbo...did you try as Germans yet? I think it makes the game much more dificult. The AI seems better on defense. TeAcH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy 4 Eyes Posted July 3, 2000 Share Posted July 3, 2000 SPOILER X X X X X X X X For the record TeAcH ending up beating me in our "nail biter" game. Damn that Panther is tough he withstood three zook blasts, and three shots from a dug in Sherman. I found the scenario to be a lot of fun and we lasted until the last few turns before it was clear that victory was not mine. Nice job TeAcH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeAcH Posted July 3, 2000 Author Share Posted July 3, 2000 Thanks Jimmy 4 Eyes! That battle WAS a lot of fun and chock-full of nailbiters. Turned out to be a great scenario, if I dont say so myself....well, I think so anyway (wink).

Colin Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 Sorry I had to bring this up to the top again. **********SPOILER********* This was by far the most enjoyable scenario I've played yet. The Jabos made it way more interesting. My German FB dropped both of it's bombs on a Sherman that was knocked out. In the process it also kill about 10 of my troops!! The Allies FB took out my AA gun with a barrage of rockets. Quite an interesting battle it was. ------------------ And if we abandon any platform, I can assure you it will not be the Macintosh. -Steve My website!

Col. Klotz Posted July 12, 2000 Share Posted July 12, 2000 Great scenario, thanks TEACH! I had my first dual tank kill there, both shoot at the same time at each other, both got killed. I wonder if the rounds can hit eachother in midair? Col. Klotz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeAcH Posted July 13, 2000 Author Share Posted July 13, 2000 Hehehe..dunno Col. Interesting. Prolly not though. Thanks for the comments on the scenario. For info, the Luftwaffe pilot was set to green, that explains why he may have targeted a destroyed AFV. I did this to simulate the lack of quality pilots in the Luftwaffe at that time. I also made the chances of a German jabo appearing rare. Again, trying to simulate the decimated condition they were in. In contrast, the American pilot is better as are his chances of arrival.
