gravy Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Hello, I am new to CMBB and CMAK and still getting used to the behaviour of certain unit types. I am hoping someone will have an idea why the following occurred. I was recently playing the CMAK scenario Killing fields of Marsalla (not sure of the spelling). During the scenario I placed two mortar units on top of a small hill so they had good line of sight on the enemy. I assigned one mortar team to fire a couple of rounds of smoke on a bridge to provide cover for my advancing infantry which it did. For the next turn I assigned covering arcs to both teams and let them pick their own targets. During this turn both mortar teams targetted an enemy squad in a fox hole and proceeded to fire all their remaining rounds of smoke on this enemy squad instead of HE . As a result my forward infantry could no longer get line of sight on this infantry squad becuase it was completely enveloped in smoke. Continual firing of smoke on an enemy unit does not make sense. I thought mortar teams would not fire smoke on their own. Does anyone have an explanation why this would happen? A bug maybe. Thanks, Gravy [ August 23, 2004, 10:11 AM: Message edited by: gravy ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwolf Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 The CM games fire smoke on their own account reasonably often, including directly at enemy units. It got a lot better after CMBO so don't complain 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
