I have been playing the Combat Mission games for over 20 years (seriously, day one, release one "refresh monkey"). I own everyone. I must play them weekly, sometimes daily. Your videos are hands-down the best I have seen for covering the REAL "nuts and bolts" of what is important once you get beyond the interface and the basics of "how to play". Keep up the videos. I use them to pimp the game to my friends all the time; and it's working! :)

You can just about manage it if the mines are in the same place as something you can blast (ie. barbed wire with mines underneath) but it's extremely situational.

Mines, like all obstacles, need to be covered by fire and observation by the Defender. If you don't they are just a speed bump as the attacker finds out the extent of the minefield and just goes around it.

9:25 "...too time consuming to be within the scope of a combat mission battle" No honestly it shows a rather sizable missing feature within Combat Mission. Breaches of mined obstacles are drilled for at company/battalion level (in modern times) using either attached or organic engineer assets. WW2 combat mission titles have a flail tank. modern titles should have access to engineer vehicles with explosive anti mine charges and plow/roller tanks. too bad this will never be something that will be added in.

I completely agree with this. Modern armies have methods and soldiers who are trained and equipped specifically for the purpose of clearing mines... and if I'm not mistaken during Iraqi Freedom they operated under fire, creating gaps large enough for tanks to fit through. Even something as simple as a modern bulldozer vehicle to push away the mines would be such a massive improvement.

Shock force 2's task force thunder was my first encounter with mines. Had a preplanned bombardment on the mines but didnt seem to help and I lost 2 strykers and suffered an immobilized abrams, after this incident I had some reading to do.
@Dimcair
@Dimcair Жыл бұрын
So (1 year ago) how did you solve it after the reading? I just pounded the spot of the mines with 1 battery of 155 shells.... if I had the time to do that, no problem, but in this case since the call for fire takes 9 minutes, and the 155 batteries only become available about 10 minutes in, by the time it clears the mines it is 30 min. possible but not ideal.

Can you send infantry on top of a tank to over run the crew? This certainly happened in world war 2 and is probably why crews today have personal rifles if not for ‘what happens after we abandon ship’
@usuallyhapless9481
@usuallyhapless9481 Жыл бұрын
So, yes and no. Infantry close assualt is simulated by them throwing hand grenades when they're close enough- it can and will damage vehicles and can prompt the crew to bail out (with usually fatal consequences), but graphically it doesn't look like swarming the Tiger in Saving Private Ryan.
