    I usually don't play quick battle scenarios and not used to the quick battle set up so purchased half of my points on infantry then got 4 half tracks with 50cals, 2 armoured cars and 2 AA tracks and lots of trucks. Felt a bit cheeky getting the AA guns at first but then thought I brought a knife to a gun fight after seeing the enemies half tracks and AA tracks. Credit given to my troops who were barely holding on to the ground they quickly gained and the regular 50 cal half tracks did get their share of kills too. Hats off to Josey Wales for a great battle and video.

      Hi Big Joe, thanks for your comment. I wanted to get as much firepower on the field as possible given our restrictions and I had used Stummel halftracks before and knew they packed a punch. I'm surprised at only 4 x .50 cal halftracks as it seemed a lot more.
      This was a good fight that was full of surprises.

      @TheSonOfDumb 6 лет назад +2

      I know this is a digression, but -
      I've recently registered on the Few Good Men forums hoping to play some CM with you guys. I've heard that you need to be recommended by a member in order to have your account approved, and this must be true because it's been a while and I've yet to be received. Maybe I am just being impatient, but I'm rather confused as to how to join the FGM. How does it work?

    • @joseywales3848
      @joseywales3848  6 лет назад +3

      Hi Jacob,
      no there is no requirement to be recommended in order to join. How long has it been since you registered? I know that Bootie (the top man) has been a bit under the weather recently. If you let me know what name you've registered under, I can give him a nudge.

    • @TheSonOfDumb
      @TheSonOfDumb 6 лет назад +2

      I registered just yesterday. I guess I'm just being impatient. If Bootie is sick then I don't want to trouble him, but I registered under the name "Def". I'm fine with just waiting though.
      Thanks for the quick reply, by the way!

    That Stummel Crew must be forced to run the gauntlet, that is the punishment for fratricide.
    Dismount them and have them charge the nearest enemy position.
    If they survive, they can re-mount their vehicle and continue the fight.

    • @joseywales3848
      @joseywales3848  6 лет назад

      Probably not. The objectives that my opponent ended up holding were closer together than mine and there was a covered/concealed road between them meaning that he could defend them with less difficulty that I could defend the two that I ended up holding.

    @herrmongo 6 лет назад +3

    nice fight. what i disliked about your strategy is that you kept your plan to play the objective. i think you should have taken more advantage of the enemy movement, which you assumed correct in the first place. taking the stummels onto the hill in the east to fire into the valley where your opponents infantry still sits in the halftracks, making them good targets. just my suggestion as i have not played the battle, what do you think? great watch anyway :)

    • @joseywales3848
      @joseywales3848  6 лет назад +4

      You're the second person to talk about playing for the objective so I think you're onto something. I do tend to get focused on the objectives and feel I have to get some troops on there before the timer runs down. I think you're analysis is pretty good, I should have focused more on the terrain and the enemies avenues of advance, after all I had predicted his AoA accurately.

  • @markraffety3246
    @markraffety3246 4 года назад +2

    Interesting half track comparison. Protection vs armament. In a one on one contest the .50 caliber gun can easily penetrate most light armored vehicles, but standard infantry weapons make manning the gun risky. Interesting comparison as far as battlefield survival is concerned. It would have been interesting to have some Universal Carriers thrown into the mix. I have always had mixed feelings with respect to the value of light armor in tactical level games. It seems expensive compared to how long it lasts.

    • @joseywales3848
      @joseywales3848  6 лет назад +3

      Yeah, I don't actually recall what happened there but I must have given than unit a 'target heavy' order into the woods that the US infantry were in. I was in a bit of a fix and thought my only option at that point was to maximise firepower in a few specific locations.

  • @Obalcan
    @Obalcan 6 лет назад +1

    Awesome video AAR Josey! Thank you so much for creating it - you are my fav CM youtubber now.
    I noticed all your vehicle crews jerk a lot. I don't have Blitzkrieg but I'm not getting this in my other CM games, just ocassionally. What's up with this?
    Love the black and white last part of the video - did you consider making only a black and white AAR video?

    • @joseywales3848
      @joseywales3848  6 лет назад +1

      Thanks Nejc. I have noticed the jerkiness but just assumed it was something that happened across the whole series. I'll look out for it more in the other titles. If it is specific to Blitzkrieg then it may be a mod issue.
      I haven't considered doing a whole video in black and white. I think its a good way to end off an AAR with some highlights and music rather than just end the vid once I've stopped narrating.
      I think there are a couple of CM youtube vids which are entirely black and white and capture that 'Pathe' feel but I can't recall whose they are.
      Are you Hister from the forum?

    • @Obalcan
      @Obalcan 6 лет назад

      Hi. Yes I am Hister from the forum. :) Yeah, the endings you make are super good. I doubt any mod would cause the mounted vehicle units to behave that way. It might be your specific hardware rig and drivers combo - do ask at technical help if other players are experiencing the same amont of it.
      Will check the black and white videos out although I "fell in love" with your naration and camera exposition. Will be hard for anyone to beat you in that regard.

    • @kenzie408
      @kenzie408 6 лет назад

      Vehicle crews and passengers jerk around like that when you are playing a replay phase from a loaded save game. If you save your game during the replay movie, then load that up again, you will always see the jerkiness. It happens with infantry too but it's not as noticeable. If you're playing a scenario straight through in single player, you won't see it. Since Josey Wales is doing PBEM, he has to load up a save with every single turn so that jerkiness will always be there. Kinda sucks but what can you do.

  • @GenBuBlu
    @GenBuBlu 6 лет назад +3

    As usual superb video. I had to laugh at 2:45 though - that scream is too funny.
    My main gripe with the otherwise beloved Combat Mission series is that the majority of maps strikes me as crowded and cluttered if compared to actual maps. This leads to relatively short and therefore overly lethal engagement distances. Ambush-situations are everywhere, sightings often result in immediate wipe-outs, firing units are immediately spotted, ridges are total deathtraps, paranoia is always advisable. Of course this is adequate for some scenarios (esp. the Huertgen...), and maybe my impression is flawed, but I feel that there really is a lack of more generous maps. A second point is that the overall engagement situations are not that realistic (meeting engagements), but I understand that there is no other way to portray WWII tactical combat in a (balanced and still action-oriented) game.
    Btw. Have you tried Command Ops (2) yet?

    • @joseywales3848
      @joseywales3848  6 лет назад +2

      Yeah, I might make the next quick battle I play a medium force size on a huge map. This would put more importance on reconnaissance and the ability to deny terrain. I understand some of the shortcomings of CM, however for me they do not impact on my enjoyment, I still love it. I haven't played Command Ops 2 but I've watched a few vids. It does seem very realistic.

    • @GenBuBlu
      @GenBuBlu 6 лет назад +1

      Looking forward to that battle! As you're probably aware, there are quite a lot of additional scenarios and also interesting maps available, especially for the "older" titles: www.thefewgoodmen.com/tsd3/
      I fell in love with CO2 recently. Imho it's the game that creates the most realistic/plausible narratives of WWII warfare. Combat Mission to me is more about the craft of warfare, while CO2 is about the art. But of course it does not provide the awesome "on the battlefield" experience of the Combat Mission series.

    • @joseywales3848

    • @GenBuBlu
      @GenBuBlu 6 лет назад +1

      There is a multiplayer feature, but I'm not sure if anyone has dared to venture into it in the last couple of years (and it seems to be based on direct connection). The playerbase doesn't seem to be very large, which is a real pity. I'm not saying the game has no issues, but it's very unique in many good ways. I'm working on an AAR (7th armored division at Overloon) right now, so maybe you can soon judge for yourself. :) - also, the base engine and 3 scenarios are for free - so nothing to lose other than time.

    • @joseywales3848
      @joseywales3848  6 лет назад +1

  • @rickytorres8566
    @rickytorres8566 6 лет назад +2

    Dude!! Come on... You drove an armored vehicle into a heavily wooded area where there was infantry engaging each other, and that armored vehicle wasn't even equipped with a machine gun but with an infantry gun designed to engage targets at hundreds of meters...You goofed on the Stummel.

    • @joseywales3848
      @joseywales3848  6 лет назад +10

      I'm sure you appreciate that for the sake of entertainment and time what you see are edited highlights. I agree that I made a mistake with the Stummel, but the actual mistake was far more complicated than what is shown. Its just easier to show it the way it's been presented so as to focus on other more interesting aspects of each replay even at the risk of misinforming you the viewer on specific actions that occur.
      It was never intended for the Stummel to move through the woods with the infantry. Instead the intention was to move the Stummel through and out the west side of the woods into the clear ground on the far right of the map and get into a defilade position where it might be able to put rounds down onto the buildings on Obj Kate.
      However, once in the woods, extricating the Stummel out the side I wanted proved difficult. Although the vehicle can move over light wood tiles (about 90% of the wooded area), it cannot pass through heavy wood tiles. This meant that due to the terrain I had 2 choices. Either to pull the Stummel all the way back to Obj Gill and retask it, or extricate the Stummel from the woods further south and continue with the existing task.
      I opted for the 2nd choice even though it was riskier as it meant that the Stummel was exiting the woods near where the infantry were located. And, unfortunately as it was doing so, the infantry made contact with US riflemen. I had no cover arc on the Stummel (which in hindsight I should have done) so as soon as the crew spotted the US riflemen firing in the woods it engaged them with the results shown in the video.
      If you play WeGo you know that if something engages 10 seconds into a turn, then there's nothing you can do about it for the next 50 seconds. As soon as the replay ended I disengaged the Stummel.

    • @Obalcan
      @Obalcan 6 лет назад +1

      First off do make sure that you don't have too high expectations frame-wise for this game like I did. Developers said 25 frames is a norm and acceptable. 60 frames is pretty much not achievable to have constantly, no matter the monster rig someone sports or not. This game is way ahead of what current CPU's can churn out. Up to 700.000 CPU calls can be made by the game each second so it is paramount that you have a faster Intel CPU instead of AMD because the game is one core based and only uses other cores for faster mission loading. Intel CPU's are much faster on one core processes then AMD CPU's which honestly suck in this regard. In the past AMD based GPU's also were not good for the game, I don't know if that still holds now or not. I haven't seen any complaints in the last year so it might be sorted now. That said you are stuck with what you have so not helpful.
      Here is what you can do to maker your experience better. Don't use shader and shadows - turn them both to off, especially shadows which are a huge performance hog on certain hardware. Do you have a FX processor maybe? I have that and it really sucks when it comes to CM. I have to mostly have the 3D setting set on below balanced. 3D texture settings are not much of a hog though and can be set to best or one notch below. You can easily leave antialiasing to on, it doesn't affect the performance much if at all on machines like yours. What I do for the game to look nicer is go to the graphical control panel and turn the Anisotropic filtering to 16x for it which doesn't make any frames drop but makes the game look much smoother. Dunno how the correpsonding setting looks like for the AMD cards. Another thing is I limit the frames of the game to 50 or 40 which makes the game play much smoother with no big spikes in frames. The down side to this is that the terrain drawing line gets halfed from what you previously have set it to - it is commanded by the 3D module quality setting so if it seems to close for you just turn this ingame setting up a notch.
      With my experience and other user experience I'm almost certain AMD CPU's are to be avoided in CM games, this is most probably also true for the Ryzen series.
      You can read through this thread I started where developer discussed the aforementioned performance issues with me:
