Josey Wales CM Vids

That's very good to hear! Combat Mission has a surprising amount of quality video makers given its niche status.
 
Very Nice! Your videos are top notch. Commentary is informative, clear, concise and objective. Very cool to see your perspective on that engagement. Your graphics and mods are so superior to what I see on my computer it's almost like watching a different game.

I had never played an "assault" QB before either and learned as you did that the attacking player gains pre-battle intel on the defending force. I thought at first you were just making it extra tough for yourself on purpose.

One minor correction I would add is I had no 105 artillery in that battle. My indirect fire support came from two on map squads of 80mm mortars and one off map 80mm mortar battery. I found my on map mortars compensated for the heavy wind much better than the off map unit did.

Thanks for making your videos. I have watched others you made and learned from them and was happy to be a part of your latest. I think other players, whether novice or veteran, will be able to pick up a lesson or two from watching your analytical AAR's. Sharing AAR's and lessons learned improves tactics for everyone, which up competition, which makes the whole thing better.

Look forward to playing you again someday. Cheers. And about the name I was not very creative when first making my forum personality. Wills works and I like it. I am not much of a "forumer" but got on this one because I wanted to play CM against live opponents and it has made the CM games much more enjoyable. If I had to do it over I would have come up with a more clever alias, which seems to be the standard. :)
 
Excellent video - top notch. If I would ever convince someone about CM I'd show them your videos. This one I liked more because I recently played a QB PBEM on the map and it was interesting to see the different outcome when the defender had no armor. You make very cinematic shots with superb commentary and tactical overviews.
Keep 'em coming :)
 
@Will S, thanks for the correction. The reason I thought the artillery barrages were from 105's was due to the 'whoosh' sound they made before impact. The on map 80mm mortars didn't make that sound so I assumed a larger caliber weapon.

I'll get some practice in and be back for round 2 someday, cheers.

Thanks @Buckykatt and @rocketman for the praise, glad you enjoyed it. I also find it interesting when I watch someone else play a map I've battled on.
 
Defence is hell!
I always find it more of a challenge vs attacking.
A bit like chess, the attacker (white) has the initiative.
I have a soft spot for ATG but have only had limited fortune with them in CMFI, the other CM titles they always seem to get pushed aside easily.
 
I always cry a single tear when I see one of those beautiful machines get abandoned forever.

I wish there was a way the crew could move back (some small distance) to safety during barrages without them having to "spike" the gun.
