Shep Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 This was new to me: a German Company HQ in the tutorial scenario was down to its last grenade; at least that's what showed in the weapons/ammo window. The two T-34s came in close to the objective he was defending, and he proceeded to throw three more grenades, causing both tank crews to spook and abandon their tanks. A medal for him, no doubt, but do squads get infinite grenades, kind of like the "low ammo" situation for small arms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwazydog Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Shep, each grenade represents either 3 or 5 grenades, I cant remember which, hehe. This is what you would have seen here Im guessing. So no, they arent infinite Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shep Posted September 5, 2002 Author Share Posted September 5, 2002 Dan, Thanks for the quick reply. Zowie! So the CO HQ does get his cross of iron. Posthumously though. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Harrison Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 That explains it! I had just close assaulted some germans with my green russians, but those greenies sure knew how to throw grenades on the run! They threw a lot more than what was shown. Its fun to watch your men run into a fight with grenades flying from them as they advance! Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe CMBB has infinite grenades (on the theory that a fully-loaded 12 man squad would have more grenades on hand than could reasonable be used-up in a scenario), but CMBO goes the extra mile and actually counts the grenades thrown. Why does each grenade symbol represent 3-4 grenades you ask? Probably to keep from cluttering-up the menu.

MikeyD Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 Dang it all! The above post should read: Correct me if Im wrong, but I believe CMBO has infinite grenades..." ..not CMBB as I had typed. I'm the worst typist in the world. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbott Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 but CMBO goes the extra mile and actually cunts the grenades thrown. MikeyD I hate it when that happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shep Posted September 5, 2002 Author Share Posted September 5, 2002 My heroic CO HQ with the finite number of grenades had a rather grisly end. He immobilized the first tank, and they bailed. The crew then ran RIGHT toward him. It seems that grenade chucking is a stealthy endeavor. He then targeted the second tank, ignoring the panicked crew right next to him. Tank number two then succumbed to the stealthy barrage. At that time I thought he had it made... But then he targeted the crew, and BAM! BAM!!! those shootin' irons actually making a lot of noise as compared to the throwing of grenades. Incoming target lines appeared from every quarter and before the turn was out our intrepid HQ units were nothing more than so much swiss cheese. I thought the stealthy grenade chucking feature was cool, and I never had experienced that in CMBO. Don't know if it's new to CMBB, but it was new to me.
