EricM Posted February 27, 2001 Share Posted February 27, 2001 I am thinking about trying to design a scenario about an assault by US on the German's Westwall. Now my idea is to have numerous pillboxes that the US must get by but there are not enough German troops to man all the pillboxes. How would you place a pillbox without troops and if you rushed German troops to the pillbox would they automaticly man the pillbox? Thanks fot the help, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullethead Posted February 27, 2001 Share Posted February 27, 2001 CM treats pillboxes and bunkers as a type of vehicle that can't move and has a passenger capacity of "none". Thus, there is no way to simulate the very common troop shelter type of pillbox encountered in the West Wall ------------------ -Bullethead In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is strength, in water there is bacteria.

Thus, there is no way to simulate the very common troop shelter type of pillbox encountered in the West Wall This being the case: it might not look right, but one way to simulate the effect you want would be to place small houses where you want the pillboxes (heavy or light for concrete or wooden). They'd be a little easier to blow apart than concrete pillboxes, but might give something like the desired effect--in any case, you could certainly have troops run in and out of them. Would it be possible to create a "pillbox" mod for a house, to improve the visual effect? But, of course, troops could fire out from all sides, not just the firing slits. Anyway, not perfect, but possibly helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
