Armchair General presents Combat Mission Normandy Tactics Episode II

That was awesome. Paul Fussel's Wartime reinforces the hard lesson of this tutorial though. In an American battalion from DDay to VE day they lost their entire compliment of men 4 times over. Only two men made it from DDay to VE day...

I spent a lot of time trying to win it and count amongst those who love it 'cos I keep getting back to it.

Looking at this vide for the 4th time now 'cos for the life of me I couldn't succeed in getting to that damn hill I just realised what's the element that I got wrong so far - you need to advance with one platoon as soon as the game starts since it's still dark and enemy spotters can't react in time.

That is in theory - I need to prove my assumption for real.

I must tried this friggin' scenario half a dozen times, always ending with my infantry turned into hamburger BBQ'd with my flaming tanks: (

I'll give it another whirl with the things I've learned here. Thanks for taking the time to school us amateurs.

@allmightyajax which scenario is it? Thanks

[vbfg1973]

@IcyScythe It's the second mission from the Courage and Fortitude campaign included with the game. It's called School of Hard Knocks if I remember right.

[allmightyajax]

@IcyScythe What vbfg1973 said is correct.  That scenario is EVIL: (

Thanks so much for your professional narrative, sir. Much appreciated. I still play all the CM games but the CMBN takes the cake.

Fantastic!
