sburke Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 First off a thank you to broadsword56 without whom Otto's story would never have been told. Of course that meant having to kill him but hey, you can't have it all. This is the (short) story of a highly motivated sniper named Otto. At the moment Otto is pinned down and his asst is dead. Our brave Ami infantry are calmly unloading round after round and even some rifle grenades at poor brave Otto. Fortunately they are short But hey, just calmly reload and aim a little higher Mmm no looks a little... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 long Well ya got him straddled now, and wait, George the tanker is coming over too. Boom! Special delivery for Otto! Straight and true, wait watch out for that . . . TREE!!!! Guess there won't be anymore rifle grenades, but the rest of the team is intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 But Otto man, he is super motivated, who else is out there I can shoot at?! Rounds zipping by every where and he just calmy exhales and aims 75mm Tank rounds flying past, bullets singing in his ears, Otto is a man possessed. Finally he realizes grenade man has friends who are still shooting. Calmly Otto turns his attention on them Slowly he pulls the trigger and....Missed em by this much...hey wait what happened to the last guy who missed high?

sburke Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 In that moment of thought, poor Otto finally catches a round How can you not love this game? And to all you RTS weenies belittling us wego pukes - you'd have missed Otto's little tragic tale. We salute you Otto, but if you'd been a little less motivated you might have kept your head down.

Broadsword56 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Amazing. I was there and I missed the whole thing. Otto was a fanatic! Is that how average German regulars act under heavy fire? Was there anything unusual about his motivation or other ratings? Sure glad you spotted that and shared the tale. As sad as I am about my tragic friendly-fire incident, I'm all the more impressed about the way CMBN works, the longer I play it. I'm sure that sort of thing happened all the time in real life.

Sakai007 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Here are some screens I put together from a QB this morning. Map is the ME Open-155, And it's dusk with light rain, good cat hunting weather. Love the lighting at night Here is one of my mortar teams with the M10 firing in the distance. Surprise!!! Look what my Sherman found leaving the woods.... Gotcha! One shot to the side a close range is the way to do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As sad as I am about my tragic friendly-fire incident, I'm all the more impressed about the way CMBN works, the longer I play it. I'm sure that sort of thing happened all the time in real life. I am not sure if the names are set or if they are randomly generated when you load the scenario. In this case Otto had a +2 leadership modifier though only regular by experience. He is (you'll be happy to know) one of only two German leaders with this high a rating. So don't worry, you aren't facing the "uber race" here, just one (posthumous) Audie Murphy who incidentally probably didn't even hit anyone. That period where he crouched aiming to the left seemed to last forever and he never fired a shot. I kept thinking, WTF dude either get a round off or hit the dirt!
