great work

Great video! You were unlucky to lose your bunker MG so quickly! In my experience they can hold up to insane amounts of small arms fire. Are you using a uniform mod for the Germans?

Memories from 2017

What was the song used in the intro?

Another well put together video. Your casualties were a bit on the high side. Knowing when, and when not, to have your men hide takes a lot of learning, and a bit of luck. Perhaps if you continue with Fortress Italy you can boost your men's morale with some period music. "Isle of Capri" by Wingy Manone should do the trick.

What game is this? Looks very cool

To learn combined arms, at least in the WW2 setting I recommend the first US campaign in Battle for Normandy.

that was intensive

Helix posting again? Hell yeah man

Black Sea is, in my opinion atleast, the toughest to get into. Modern weapons and a peer enemy makes it s really hard option for getting into the games. My personal favourite campaign is Shockforce 2's american army campaign. It's still very much modern warfare, but you are fighting a lot of unconventionals. It's still tough though as you are expected to take minimum casulties due to your massive advantages. It's less "can I win?" and more "Can I win with acceptable losses?" as you've seldom really in a position where you are in a position to actually be beaten, but then there are of course factors such as IED's, carbombs, and ambushes, with ANY losses being a pretty big deal. I'd reccomend you give it a try for a different feel from both Black Sea and the WW2-titles. It has very much a second Iraq war-theme, but with you commanding a Stryker-based taskforce, although when you do get to play around with your Bradley-equipped combat-engineers platoons that is also a pure joy as they wreak havoc.

Another great AAR. Definitely look forward to watching you continue to learn. Especially when you’re ready to give it a try in multiplayer.

My comment deleted itself. Glad you uploaded was waiting for some more of this I just got into combat mission too nice to see someone else learn too

This was awesome dude

Nicely prepared AAR!

Bravo Sir.

Gela? wasnt that cold? gelato is ice cream for sure

1:28 you mean detailed simulation of aerodynamics of fart of squad leader of 1st squad in 2nd company and how it affects tank commander nearby? on serious note, me thinks that optimalization is due to how detailed it is and how much it simulates 2:24 and whats even more weird is that it did almost 1:1 ambush near brovary from battle of kiev in one of campaigns from black sea, seriously, same place same objective normal games: shoot to kill more "special games": shoot to not get killed

edited aar, commetary? explaination of what happens there? okay im in, waiting for next vid

This was really good, could you post links to a few of the bits and pieces you read about tactics and planning, ect?

Great content my friend. Can't wait to see your future videos on CM :)

I recommend splitting the squads more often than not - I'm not an expert by a long shot but I've done away with using the Assault command. Splitting squads into fire teams appears to reduce the moral and surpression of casualties sustained. As well as allowing a greater control of the map, and in turn of the spotting. I noticed during your Fortress Italy AAR, the first platoons casualties probably could have been reduced by spreading out your teams, or at least have 2 squads firing with one in the rear as a reserve, or being used in the assault.

How did you fix the fps problem like I play the game in a modern laptop with a ryzen 5 3300 u and 20 g of ram hyper x

Loving the Combat Mission Videos

Awesome! More CM:BS please! It's a treat to see a competant and knowledgeable wargamer play this game. What mods are you running? The terrain looks great!

Vehicle casualties can be such a bitch in Combat Mission campaigns! Hate losing a Striker because it was bogged down in some sand when like 50% of the outer surface of the vehicle is towing points. Awesome AAR btw! Can't wait to see more. ^_^

amazing video, showing planning phase was really helpfull.

Cool video!

Amazing AAR again. This level can be deceptively difficult with only having the single 60mm mortar for support.

You are a rising star on the scene of AARs, hats off to you. 😇

In regards to tutorials Usually Hapless has a great series alllready on basics. On more specific aspects that i didnt find covered there, you can find a growing list of guides on my channel as well. 😇 Edit: Really well done. You certainly nailed it for a first go, extremely well orchestrated.

En gros : remballe tes mouches à merdes et va te faire mettre !

Please upload more please, and consider the WW2 games such as BN or FI :D

One game I want to recommend for your own fun if you're into WW2 (although it contains a few early cold war scenarios) is Graviteam Tactics: Mius Front. it costs quite a bit but you could get it through... other means... It's a great game, extremely realistic though it can take some time to get used to. not to mention it takes a lot of time to play a single battle (can take up to two hours, depends a lot on if you planned your orders since the start and if you fast forward the game).

I just want to live in a world where only these 3 movies exist

Game looks pretty interesting man, good stuff 👍

Hey man, long time CM player here. Loved the AAR. You did great in the game and from what I can see you have understood and applied the rules of small unit infantry assaults. Your use of smoke and cutting off lines of retreat are some nice things that I even forget to consider when playing. All your casualties were caused at the point of contact but fire superiority was always quickly established. It’s just how operations in dense terrain go so I’d say you did a superb job. I very much look forward to seeing your future CM videos.

Yo dude how are you doing these days :)

Ahhhhhhh, the memories! The smell of carpet in my room when I've first boot up my 3Dfx card. The overwhelming power of the accelerator made me feel like Darth Vader! Ohh, the memories!

Can we get more of these?

You are the best

these mixes are AMAZING to listen to for the audiobooks!

5 years later and I still turn this on when I'm working, thank you my friend 🙏

When you lose a game of star wars battlegrounds

best game ever at its, i miss this time in our lives

27:57 Ohh, memories of the trench mission on the Russian side, this music is a joy.

Such a shame you did not continue this series! BE Codex hast such an untapped potential.

While I appreciate the nostalgic VHS noise filter, could you please upload a filter-free version of this mix ? It's surprisingly hard to find a good mix of relaxing Star Wars music, let alone one focussed on the original trilogy. Either way, thank you for your work !

Man I remember playing this on my Xbox 360 and coming to this part of the game just to leave it on while I’d fall asleep. the game overall was such a beautiful experience but this part of the soundtrack has forever left an impact on me

11:45-12:45 marvelous - What is this from?
