My bad. Sorry for wasting your time.

Odd, My main screen has the TRSM v09 on the upper left. I definely have differnt forcepools than GJS 4.4. I have the GJS 4.4 and TRSM v091 installed on top of it. Hmm, this thread says v097...the wheels are beginning to turn.

Dima,
you aksed, so in the attached save. The British "Mot Rifle Goup (vet)" are four-man teams. The forum won't let me attach s save file at teh moment.

Well, that's about as thorough an analysis as I could wish for. Interesting thing is that my Vickers group CAN go into multi-story (stone?) buildings in Hotot, but not in Caen, for example. I can live with it.

I enjoy playing your mod. I know you didn't mess with the AI, but the AI APPEARS to be better; at Hotot last night, the AI Germans made separate coordinated attacks (i.e., more than one unit per attack) on two VLs. Thanks for doing all the work.

But what's with those 4-man Brit rifle groups?

OK, What are the rules for posting screenshots? I searched but did not find.

In the screenshot below, I tried to place the selected MMG Group near the top of the screen in either the 2-story building or the adjacent hedgerow. It wouldn't do either. I also realized later that the unit would not cross a hedgerow, to a destination in the other side. I've noticed this problem on the Talleville map, but it does not occur on all maps.

btw, the group just inside of the southwest corner of te outer hedgerow is another MMG group that I wanted t place in the corner of the hedgerow, but that unit also "Can't go there."

I noticed that the Vickers teams cannot be placed ("can't go there") in some 2-story houses and in some large hedgerows (specifically on the Talleville map). I'll try to get a screen of this.

I usually play without vehicles. It eliminates a major source of frustration with CC for me, and still seems a reasonable simulation of "tyipcal" WW2 ground combat engagements.

I used to do that when I was first learning how to play I or II. Then I realized how bad the AI was and it needed all the help it could get.

Excuse me, but what mod is this? Are these the Regxtra maps?

Thanks,

Tacloban

Well OK then how about artillery?

In the US Army's history of the Battle of the Bulge, there are repeated references to German armored attacks being repulsed by artillery barrage alone. Certainly there were plenty of misses, but the record seems to indicate that Allied artillery was effective against German armor.

Thank you for this mod, I know it took many long hours to develop. It is a part of WW2 I don't know much about. I now have to find a good read to learn the history.

I'm only half-way through the "60 Miles" op, but I think this new mod is terrific. The sounds are great and the game plays very well. I can write off the oversized trucks to...to...uhm...heat mirages! and the not engaging, that's just fog of war for you.

Bellisimo! Multe grazia!

I encourage you to. Go on down to your nearest recruiting office.

Aren't there several exploding tank cars and other stockpiles on the stock Cherbourg map? or is that just in the Utah mod.

Thanks,
I'll try again from scratch. . I was trying to edit a slightly older custom scenario that worked fine.

As far as I can tell, my scenario meets your conditions. Thank you for your help.

Tacloban

Thanks for the reply ZAPPI4,

I guess I meant to say I'm trying to create an operation using several of the stock maps, not a single battle on one map. I have tried CCReq before, I will give it another look.

I just thought that it was odd that I could open an operation that I had made earlier and played, but then wasn't able to re-save the operation even though I had not changed anything.

I am trying to make a simple scenario using the southern CC5 maps. I.m not changing data just unit placement using the stock battlemaker. I have Utah mod installed. After a long while of arranging units, maps, supply points, etc., I cannot save the scenario. I get a Invalid Battle Data error message. to simplify, all backline maps for both sides are supply points. I only reinforce allies on the second day, no german reinforcements.

Any suggestions as to what is causing my "invalid battle data" problem?

thank you,

Tacloban

PS: I just realized that, if I open a previously saved user scenario (that I have played before), then try to save as without changing anything. I get the same Invalid Battle Data message! What could be wrong.

Can one of you kind, hyper-knowledgeable people help me? I am looking for information on the advance on the US First Army south after the fall of Cherbourg. It would logically be the preliminary advances in the St. Lo campaign. The US army CMH online info is excellent, but deals mainly with action closer to St. Lo and east of the Vire.

I just wanted to make a custom scenario using the southern CC5 maps. For instance I have the 358/90th taking St. Jores on evening of 4 July, and some unit of the 79th ID taking La Haye Du Puit on 9 July from German 35th Div., 315/79 takes Lessay on 25 July. I believe I’ll go with 359/90 against a parachute regiment (have to be 6th) at Mont Castre.

What I don’t know is what units fought on the other southern CC5 maps like Chateau de Riviere, Chateau D’Omonville, Chateau De Pirou, Perriers, Raids, Le Varimesimil?

Tanks for any suggestions for where to look,

Tacloban

D-day was indeed played out on a huge scale. At the same time it was a battle of many small battles, which was true for much of WW2 and thereafter. In contrast, the ACW infantry soldier did not typically fight in small groups. His effectiveness was largely dependent on contributing to concentrated, coordinated firepower, usually in a massed unit like a regiment.

Nevertheless, I can conceive a division-level ACW-style engagement that could work in a CC mod. For example, in CC5 you have 15 units to work with. If we mod each unit to be a civil war unit like a regiment, a battery, or a cavalry battalion, then we may expect to deploy, say, 12 regiments, 2 batteries, and a cavalry troop, or some variation. Each unit would move graphically as one; I'm just thinking out loud. That's small division strength, and there obviously are a great number of battles that could be done. Anything from Jackson's valley campaign, Cedar Mountain, Cemetery Hill, to the Wilderness or Sayler's Creek. I suppose commanders could be incorporated into the unit, and artillery call all be modded as indirect.

I hope that I am proved wrong because I would love to see the innovation in CC. I really would love to check out a ACW mod. My original point was that, though many years later, a competant SP AI is possible and how wonderful the CC SP would be with it.

Please excuse my bad spelling,
Tacloban
