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.

I have CM: Shock Force 2. The tutorial has the same map as this one. Didn’t realize Black Sea had this level, too. Cool!

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.

Top tier content, hope your channel continues to grow! I've been playing a ton of CMSF2 and am thinking about getting Black Sea or Fortress Italy next.

Awesome video

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.

Game looks pretty interesting man, good stuff 👍

great work

Bravo Sir.

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

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!

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

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).

If there is no town you dont need to clear the town.

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

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

Just purchased, my first combat mission title. I come from rts like wargame or arma. Interested whats in store for me.

I really want to buy this game, but here in Brazil it's a little expensive.

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

Yo dude how are you doing these days :)
