Darius359au Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 So, no LOS, right? It's a test of the new "Q" scout ,the enemy think their facing a normal scout car then the secret panel opens and this guy pops out with a bazooka at close range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 These are a few shots from a battle I am still engaged in, however they do not violate Opsec. They are being released to correct a previous report that Obgr Fell had been guilty of cowardice in the face of the enemy...and to show off a really cool scene. The full turn will be described in the AAR, but at this point the Americans have just executed a textbook assault on the villa. First suppressing by fire the occupants of the buildings then blowing a hole with demo charges right as a Sherman entered the compound with all guns firing. The smoke has been eliminated to shed clarity on the truth of Obgr Fells' behavior. A few seconds previously Fell had shot the first GI to advance into the compound just before the last remaining member of his HMG team is hit. Faced with overwhelming odds he races to the door, then turns to throw a grenade at his assailants. Apparently his grenade goes off knocking down a GI in the process of preparing his own grenade. The enemy grenade explodes harmlessly in the courtyard (to our landser anyway) The KP HQ section was till in the Villa at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockinHarry Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Uploaded with ImageShack.us Could well be Aachen in autumn 1944, but Brest would fit closer to CBN timeframe. Should be ready, when CW module and Fallschirmjagers join the force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockinHarry Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Wished the see through mode for occupied buildings could be switched off, like in CMX1. But here´s the Ronson added. Lighting is somewhat changed due to the burning Sherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Found this picture recently. The story behind it is that the photographer, T/5 Harding, was following the US advance toward Coutances. This column was crossing over a river into a village fortified by the Germans when the halftrack pictured below was struck by a Panzerschreck round. Unfortunately, no one in the halftrack survived. Harding later stated that it was by pure coincidence he was able to capture this hellish moment on film. What he thought would be just an intresting picture of units on the move turned out to be a shot that captured the last moments on earth for the GIs in the doomed halftrack.

poesel Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 When I first saw that picture I thought: nice photoshopping of a screenshot - he even thought to add the signal corps watermark... Hmm - is there a way to play CMBN in b/w? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first saw that picture I thought: nice photoshopping of a screenshot - he even thought to add the signal corps watermark... Hmm - is there a way to play CMBN in b/w? hehe, it is a photoshopped CMBN screenshot . I was messing around with some screens I had taken, and turning them into black and white made them almost look like period photographs. I went the xtra mile and tried to make it look like an old photograph that was taken in a hurry. It's really a testament to the game's graphics that you can make them look like photos. The story and screen is what happened in the scenario I'm currently working through, Carbide Carbide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amizaur Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 The only problems are that the explosion is little too CMBN-like , I mean that explosions in CMBN not look too realistic and are usually exaggerated, too big. Here the fireball is also somewhat too big for a panzershreck round. Second thing is that the halftruck is an open vehicle, I doubt it's possible that a panzershreck penetration could kill everyone inside. That would be possible in case of a buttoned tank. Of course what I wrote is the theory . Have no idea if it really happened or not that a PF os PS penetration killed everyone inside a halftruck. But the picture is great but when I saw it, i thought it was the front of the tank that was attacked with a panzerfaust . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredrock1957 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I was working on a new scenario and during Axis deployment I saw this and it reminded me of a photo I had seen... Granted it's not same Gun but I thought I would share... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 When you look at the relative size of the midget pixeltruppen their gun looks big like an 88mm. But, I presume it's merely a 76mm and the B/W pic is an 88? Are CMBN ATG's out of scale?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
