    Whitmann's Follies - Villers Bocage

    Great screenies. Hehe... I remember how cocky I used to be whenever I had Tigers in my battalion. That is until played a game where I faced the Firefly's for the first time and got a rather rough introduction to the sheer destructive capability of their 17 pounders.

    Which to get: CMAK or CMBB?

    You also get to fight in the mountains and forests of Italy in CMAK. In all honesty I'm pretty torn too if I had to choose between CMAK and CMBB (I have both of them). On the one hand, I've always had a soft spot for fighting in the wide open desert and not having my PzIII's be so woefully...

    CMAK v1.03 patch up but...

    I'm wondering whether to bother upgrading my copy of CMAK or not. Does anyone know or can provide me a link to look at as to what the upgrade improves in the game so I can decide if it's worth the download or not?

    Is there anyway to get "indirect" fire?

    I once had a match of Tigers and Panthers in CMAK versus those light 1940 era British tanks. :laugh: :devil: :freak: And yes it was just a non serious game game to blow of steam and kill a 20 minute break while working on an assignment.

    Is there anyway to get "indirect" fire?

    Ah...yes yes how could I forget the venerable Stuhs. That armour's escorted many of my inf platoons and companies into numerous successfull assaults. I agree, the 150's are nifty arty pieces for clearing tough entrenched enemy infantry and for taking out those pesky AT and AA guns. All...

    Is there anyway to get "indirect" fire?

    You would get the same mobility by packing the howitzers and field guns on halftracks also. Besides the Stugs, or the very expensive Brumbars, Elefants and SturmTigers, SP guns are still too vulnerable to light AT weapons and anything stronger which further limits their use especially if that...

    Is there anyway to get "indirect" fire?

    Ayup. I've even seen pics of Germans using quad 20mm flaks for anti inf role, I'd hate to be on the recieving end of that. That said though, aside from the wespes I don't find much use for German SP's in anti inf roles (be it direct or indirect fire) since they pack too few ammo in the...

    Need some advice on tank combat

    Apologies, I forgot to mention that i'm playing an assault map just to clear things up. I'm wondering but how effective are scattered trees when it comes to preventing your tanks from getting hit. Does it give a bit of a bonus (ie: the tree trunks and folliage preventing the enemy from...

    Need some advice on tank combat

    I've decided to try my hands at playing the allies in CMAK and need some help and advice on tank combat using Shermans in flat terrain with light tree coverage. My opponent is using Marders, gun halftracks and PzIII's and PzIV's so tank quality wise it's pretty even (they can knock my tanks...

    America's Army...

    :D :D :D I remember playing a game of Call of Duty quite a while back in which while wandering around the map I found myself behind someone who was camping by a window in the Market Garden map. I stood there for a good while and had my character run around and do some funny stuff...

    Most effective Units in a battle...

    First off, if you are playing an assault map it's very important to purchase crack infantry since inf units are the bread and butter of an assault mission since they will be the ones who will be doing the actual taking of the objective and killing the entrenched defending enemy. If you are...

    Most effective Units in a battle...

    Ah right. Heh, I've been playing either assault or defence maps for so long I've forgotten that in meeting engagements the PC positions the flags right in the center of the map.

    Most effective Units in a battle...

    I'm guessing that your playing custom maps then rather than the random battles then? I usually play the random battles and the PC always puts the objective flags at the very top edge of the screen whenever it creates the random map during an assault game which limits any opportunity I have for...

    Most effective Units in a battle...

    Whoah! That's the first time I've heard of enemy inf surrendering to an AFV. I've been playing the CM games for quite a while now and I've never had that happen. (Craziest surrender I've had happen was a full strenght enemy inf unit surrender to my own inf units after a brief small arms...

    Axis off board artillery

    I'm wondering, what's the best axis FO/Artillery to use in CMAK for say the task of dislodging particularly troublesome allied infantry currently entrenched in rough terrain in the North African desert?

    For all you Combat Mission fans - favourite version of the game?

    Hard to tell really and depends mainly on which frontline (Western, North Africa or Eastern) I wish to play in, though CMBO, of all the CM games is the one that I have played the most. (Though I'm still in somewhat of a personal debate over whether that's because I enjoy playing the 1944...
