Panther G Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 I just finished THE BEST D-Day scenario I've ever played. Be sure to ckeck it out at Der Kessel and review at the CM Scenario Depot. Enjoy! Regards, Ryan *WARNING* It is very large! *WARNING* [ February 12, 2002, 12:00 PM: Message edited by: Panther G ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.Sgt. Havilandt Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 i couldnt get the mods to install correctly.......i extracted them into my bmp files, but it couldnt do it.......any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoot Posted February 13, 2002 Share Posted February 13, 2002 When you extracted them to your bmp folder, did your machine inform you that "files are about to be overwritten" and ask you to confirm said overwrite? If not, then they're in the wrong place. Are you a mac user? If not, search your bmp folder and see if you've got an extra folder hanging around in there with the appropriate bitmaps in it.

S.Sgt. Havilandt Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 Yes it says that it will overwrite........and then when i give the go ahead, it says error, so that I can't/////////........any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Shultz Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 I didn't have any troubles installing it. Yeah I agree this is one awesome scenario. The graphic modifications are great. Map is well done. One thing though just how much armour is supposed to make it off the beach? After duking it out with the 75mm bunkers at the bottom of the bluffs, I started taking heavy fire from the 88's at the top. After all was said and done I lost all but two tanks. The remaining pair got out of the LOS of the 88's but I then lost one to mines. Most of my infantry has made it to the top. I used a ton of smoke from the 25 pounders to protect my tanks but those 88mm bunkers could still at times sneak a shot through. Now that I'm at top I have more bunkers and anti-tank guns to deal with. I still have alot of life left but I felt I could have done a bit better on the beach. Any tips??

Now that I'm at top I have more bunkers and anti-tank guns to deal with. I still have alot of life left but I felt I could have done a bit better on the beach. Any tips??I did an left-flank maneuver with my remaining armor (I got into a similar situation as you), eventually getting around behind "fleury battery," and destroying those pesky 88's. The infantry is best to keep in the AT Ditch, as they panic and lose men very fast out in the open. If you don't have much armor left I would recommend moving all available armor over to the command post and clear out the germans there. After that is done, have some infantry sprint over and occupy the german foxholes. DO NOT run out into the open unless you are positive there are no MG's waiting to mow you down. I won the game with 4 tanks, two shermans, an AVRE, and an Croc (it inflicted over 41 infantry casualties!). It is a very fun scenario, definitely worth a try.

Panther G Posted February 14, 2002 Author Share Posted February 14, 2002 Ohh, I forgot. To all who play, review at the depot (see link in sig). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoot Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 Yep. That armor dies on the beach a lot. My suggestion for the best way to get your tanks off the beach? Recovery vehicles! But seriously, if you manage to eek 2 tanks off of the beach, your doing fairly well. Your best bet is to overrun the CP and flank the battery, as Ryan suggested. As for AFV's gettin' smoked on the beach, these things happen... a lot... especially on D-Day. Havilandt, I'm not really sure why you would be having problems. Maybe the file dropped a few packets during the download. Try grabbing it again and see if it works out for you. I'm certain the file is good and wish you luck.
