Combat Mission: Shock Force "Objective Normandy"

Taskforce Thunder continues the attack on Tadmur (Palmyra), encountering a series of entrenched hedgerows and ravines outlying the city. The road into the city is mined, deterring any direct assaults by vehicles. Company A and scout elements are tasked with penetrating the defenses while avoiding any unnecessary damage to local infrastructure. This means that air and artillery support assets are not available.

Mods I use:
AKD Sound Mod
Background Sounds Remixed (the radio chatter)
more emotional voices

two things:

first: the two squads on the left that took out the machine gun nest deserve metals.

second: you have to minimize the friendly fire, case in point the fire sector you forgot to remove on the right side w/ the grenade stryker.

another great video. keep them up brother.

@snoo333 Grenades don't actually cause friendly fire - luckily. I didn't use this as a game exploit, but did forget to toggle it off. A downside of real time play. Thanks for the feedback

Javelin the reason why one should believe in Evolution

Some references are made in the commentary to the intent of the scenario designer. I'm the scenario designer. The design was not meant in any way to invoke the fighting on the invasion beaches in Normandy. The terrain here is actually based on a real world aerial photo of Syria. It is reminiscent of the bocage; I thought it reasonable that a fictional U.S. Army commander might name phase lines after the D-Day beaches given the passing tactical resemblance to French hedgerows.

Is the SPG9 really supposed to have such a short range? It had plain sight of ur stryker yet did'nt fire.

had the syrians had some Kornet ATGM's here...

Anyway, one of the downsides of fighting the AI ;)

Good coordination but moronic, narrowly minded tactics and sheer stupidty out of their part, since my times playing CMBB
