laxx Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 hi, I am playing CMBB 1.01 this evening with QB. The battle parameters are (from Briefing screen): - Rarity Standard - Axis force is unrestricted - Axis Purchase Units Allow Human - Axis Ammunition 100% - Axis Sewer Movement No - Allied Division Type is Random - Allied Purchase Units Automatically - Allied Ammunition 80% - Allied Sewer Movement No - Force Size 300 points - Handicap Allied -30% - Map Size Small - Tree Coverage Moderate - Map Type Rural - Hilliness Gentle Slopes - Damage None Well, as attacker, the game gave me 512 points for purchase. After purchasing the units, during the pre-turn phase, I positioned the units on the screen and I click GO. For pre-turn-1, I clicked GO. And immediately, the screen went to AAR: "the Allied forces surrendered to you. You have won a Total Victory" The funny thing is that there is No russian troops mentioned in the AAR or on the map. has this been reported previously ? laxx ps. I thought the AI took longer than usual to purchase units (the screen purchase bar "...."). pps. I am using this on a Mac.

WWB Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Send the savegame to madmatt. It was a bug which was supposed to be fixed but seems to crop up again in odd circumstances. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Leader Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Allied defender -30% of 300 pts gives 210 purchase points. Not a lot to play with there. Maybe there was nothing cheap enough to buy? What was the year? I guess if it picked a Crack Gaurds Armour Division, it wouldn't be able to afford ANYTHING. Or maybe it was forced to spend a certain percentage of points on fortification, which left none for troops? It is a bug, they've reported it, but sometimes too few points are just TOO FEW points!

Terrapin Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 I didn't think you could make a QB that small. I thought 800 was kind of the minimum (it's MY minimum). 300 points...that's like the CMBB version of Monty Python's Batly Townswomens' Guild's Re-Enactment of the Battle of Hastings.

laxx Posted December 14, 2002 Author Share Posted December 14, 2002 at 300 points, you *are* forced to make hard choices, and be very frugal about deployment. with 300 as germans, I managed to buy a platoon with 4 squads + 1 50mm motar, 2 hmg, and 2 armored cars with some loose change. try *playing* without the panthers and tigers will ya ?

I'll have to check my sources to see which side won that re-enactment. Regards Jim R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
