Combat Mission Fortress Italy - Player versus Player Battle

[@bwcmakro]

The wide shots like the one at 16:20, showing the scale of the battle, are really beautiful.

[@MrSirDouble]

Glad you enjoyed the video

[@darkivn]

An excellent video! Great narration, use of graphics, and camera work! A PvP battle is also particularly interesting to watch. 👍 My only criticism is with audio levels - the in-game sounds would some times drown out your narration. For example at 16:20, the intense firefight makes it almost impossible to hear what you're saying.

[@MrSirDouble]

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the feedback. Getting the volume balance is something I'm constantly tweaking and learning to improve upon

[@HaydnHaendel]

Outstanding video, with the high quality we've come to expect from you. Keep it up!

[@MrSirDouble]

Thank you very much

[@jameskachman3692]

Love the deliberate discussion pre -battle. Been watching your channel for a while, production quality is clearly improving! Keep up the great work!

[@MrSirDouble]

Much appreciated

[@DrewShotsFan]

Nice work, Double......as always 👍

[@MrSirDouble]

Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the thumbs up

Good AAR, excellent prepatory analysis. Two of my friends had just completed this scenario as well and had much the same result, the Free French have a tough time of it no matter what but you did everything you could to make it all the tougher. Well done.

[@MrSirDouble]

Thanks for sharing your friends experience

He's back! Please don't leave us again, we've missed you!

Thanks, life has to take focus at times

I'm 10 minutes in, and as a CM noob, I'm proud to say that as soon as you started going over your overall battle plan, I was already thinking along the same lines. It was uncanny. "I bet he's going to use cover to conceal a few flaks and maybe a marder or two to provide suppression on that hill rather than take it, send the bulk of his infantry through the woods to get into the center village, and use the remaining flaks and marders to use the range advantage on the left to cover his infantry advance" I might finally be getting better at this analysis phase. I have yet to see the rest of the video though, so perhaps I'm wrong..

[@robertsantamaria6857]

I had tried this scenario as France against the AI a few months back (also after a year or two gap from CM), did not at all realize my tanks could just go through the forest. Consequently, I tried moving them down the road only and was soundly trounced by the AI. How easily some things are forgotten. I think I'll give this scenario another go.

[@MrSirDouble]

The AI can certainly present a challenge at times. Good luck if you try again, let us know how you get on

[@tremendousbaguette9680]

"did not at all realize my tanks could just go through the forest." I can tell you as a French, this sounds awfully familiar...

[@MG-fr3tn]

Stand your tanks off and just blast at buildings in surport of a few troops. Get your mortar on to his gun . Find were his troops are flack guns will be fun. Your troops are green.

[@b_bufo]

"This video will include more on the how I get there" Well finally.

[@MrSirDouble]

Glad you liked the inclusion of the additional stuff

[@330Gunslingers]

honestly watching your vidoes have helped me improve a bit in multiplayer. Though I have mostly been playing cmcw, the tactics definitely still apply

[@SuperAwesome6969]

Thank you Double

[@MrSirDouble]

Glad you enjoyed the video

[@jamesa702]

Your efforts are appreciated. Thanks much...

[@pipsqueaks_home]

Nice presentation, Double. I liked your analysis at the beginning and edited shots. Very well done. A tad one sided, as you explained at the end, but as you said; who said war was supposed to be fair? =o)

[@MrSirDouble]

Glad yo like the video and thanks for the positive comment

[@wartsnall7332]

Another quality production, and another good win for you.

Excellent VAAR. Subscriped!

I'm glad you enjoyed the video and welcome aboard

@@MrSirDouble I got CMFI + GL 2 years ago and from time to time I play it (scenarios, singleplayer maps). North Africa and Italy are my favourite theatre of war, regarding to WW2. ;)

1:54 There is a mod available that fills-in the missing R2V equipment for JuJu's interface mod. I believe Ithikial created it with JuJu's permission.

[@MrSirDouble]

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll have to go and find it

[@EvilTwinn]

Congrats on the victory, good to see more content from you!

[@stanislavvelychko8931]

Great usage of ground, strategy and battle plan! I like how you position your Marders covered by buildings to the sides :)

[@MrSirDouble]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dexterfitben]

Nice plan and execution. Can we have some Rome 2 Victory battle AAR?

[@MrSirDouble]

Thanks for the compliment. This Scenario is from R2V, The Arverni Gambit which is a battle which comes with the DLC. I don't have any other specific R2V battles ongoing at the moment, I'll see what come up

[@ottofin3178]

Which Combat Mission -game do you personally prefer for multiplayer games?

[@MrSirDouble]

I honestly don't have a preference and enjoy all the Western Front WW2 titles. I've just started with the Eastern Front (Red Thunder) and I'm still learning how to manage the Russians and their different tactical requirements. I have had some forays into Black Sea H2H but didn't enjoy the modern era as much.

[@jtsjc1]

Good to see you back Double. Great job on the video quality content as always.

Much appreciated, glad you enjoyed the video

What were the parameters on force selection?

This was a scenario from CMFI Rome to Victory. The forces were preselected

Something's cutting out with the voice over it's a bit hard to discern
