CMBN Darkest Before the Dawn Part 3 (fixed)

A Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy video after action report.
This is an AAR of a PBEM game between a friend and I. It takes place in June of 1944 and is an Armor Only matchup. I'm playing as the Americans and have a computer selected force of 2 platoons of tanks (four 76mm Shermans and five 75mm Shermans), one halftrack with an HQ squad, and one Jeep with a mounted .50 cal. The German forces will be revealed throughout the AAR as they are discovered.

The entire video was captured on my 2011 iMac using Quicktime 10 and edited using Quicktime Pro 7 and iMovie '11 over a series of several days.

Part 3 of 3.

Nice video, but I like the look of the Panther and stug (love those paint camos) so I would play as the Krauts - like shooters but get tired of the playing the yanks no offence. (I am an Aussie)

@marvanme No offense taken. The Panther is my favorite unit in the game when it's on my side. It's my least favorite unit when you're playing as the Americans. ;-) My opponents and I generally swap back and forth between who is playing Amis/Germans and who is attacking/defending.

first rate videos. please make hundreds more!

[CueBall909]

@gilbertgbert Thank you for the kind words. I'm hoping to make more videos in the future, but I don't get to play very much and most battles aren't interesting enough to make a compelling video. Hopefully I'll have some more close matches soon that will make for great movies.

One of the best CM AAR's I have ever seen. Maybe because it has something to do with tanks... *shrugs*

[CueBall909]

@Gekkibi Thank you for the compliment! It's a long video to sit through, but there's a lot of action the whole time. I have another AAR but it's infantry only. Eventually I'll get around to making another with plenty of armor.

@2Hitman3cz After we rounded up the defeated Germans I recommended Sablove for the Bronze Star. :-)

Nice battle.. Sablove should get a medal :-)
