    Get Combat Mission Cold War here: www.battlefron....
    Combat Mission Cold War is set in the tipping-point years of a conflict that gripped the world for 45 years. Between 1979-1982, both the NATO and Soviet Warsaw Pact militaries began the shift away from industrialized warfare of the early 20th century and towards the modern digital battlefield of today. Combat Mission Cold War simulates several “what if” conflict scenarios between US and Soviet forces centered on the strategic Fulda Gap and environs in West Germany.
    Combat Mission is a game developed by Battlefront.com. One of the most realistic tactical simulations ever made, Combat Mission covers a wide variety of military settings, from World War 2 (Normandy, Market Garden, Sicily, Italy and the Eastern Front) to fictional modern conflicts in Syria (Shock Force) and Ukraine (Black Sea).You can find out more about Combat Mission by visiting www.battlefront... and especially the forums.

    It's worth noting, the T-72s advancing would absolutely be accurate. The soviets had a very strict time table one that lives are less important than the momentum of the advance. The only issue with the scenario is the soviets did not lead that attack with artillery barrages

    Having been to the NTC multiple times I can say that you do not want to be out in the open. Many times I have seen a single dug in tank wreck havoc on the advancing enemy who went forward because that was the plan.

    I find these videos absolutely invaluable for trying to glean insights on how to play better. That being said, do you have any interest in doing longer-form, or more raw-gameplay, videos in Combat Mission: Cold War?

    • @usuallyhapless9481

      It's an option and something that I suspect I'll end up trying, the trick would be making hours and hours of tactical waiting, forensic analysis and ordering micro interesting.

    Great vid Hapless….IDK I think that in these campaigns where you repopulate the same map I think it would be interesting to see the wrecks remain….more immersive and adds to FOW….since targets didn’t burn at NTC I can’t tell you how many times we’d roll up into a hull down and scan…and see tons of wrecks and check em all for movement AND of course the blinking yellow strobe of the MILES gear indicating they were dead! Again smoke and dust obscuration is only kinda implemented here but I can attest that at times you could barely see 100m in any of the engagement corridors at NTC…that said TTS and later had no issues with any of it BUT…at NTC MK I eyeball observation could be tough…and confusing with wrecks at range

      Persistent battlefields would be fantastic- they are doable in CM, but you need to open scenarios in the editor to add wrecks in the correct locations and unless you get a 3rd party to do it for you then you're going to be able to see what you're up against, which is a bit of a spoiler usually.

    Sweet, I've been fixing for a dose! Needing to replay stuff must have sucked as you're currently low on time, judging from what you said last vid, damn bad luck!
    Just wondering, is the insurgency campaign put on ice because of the cold war release, or will we see more of that soon?

    Very entertaining video!
    Wondering if you have any insight to how grenades work in the Combat Mission engine. I've only had luck getting my troops to throw these on the defensive and I would love to figure out how to get the men to toss grenades during the attack such as taking a trench at the top of a hill or when storming a building. It seems like pixeltrupen need to be stationary for a period of time before they will choose to throw grenades.

    • @Coddykin
      @Coddykin 3 года назад +2

      I'm not sure what the exact throwing distance for grenades are but try getting your units within 20m or so of the enemy and then use the "target" command on either the enemy or the ground they're standing on and they should start chucking grenades within 30 seconds or so.

    • @d.c.6065
      @d.c.6065 3 года назад +2

      Troops will throw grenades at enemies or target orders within 4 action squares from their position. They can do this automatically (such as when you're on the defense), or if you give them a target order at a nearby location.

    • @Mr.Praetor
      @Mr.Praetor 3 года назад +1

      I'll have to do some more testing with the target orders. Have not had a lot of luck with them so far. It seems like one of the big requirements is that the unit is stationary for a period of time or has no other move orders. Pausing and then moving in the same turn or putting pauses in move orders does not seem to allow grenades. Makes it difficult to use against defensive positions since it requires that you are stationary more or less for an entire turn within close range of the target. Target order also sadly limits to ability to throw grenades from reverse slopes
