I'd have loved to put a full-blown AAR here because this scenario was a blast to play
But...I can't take screenshots in full screen mode?
Print screen and the Ultima Online tool (which works great for the CM series, Flashpoint Germany, etc, gives me utter garbage with my SPMBT stills). What do folks here use?
Anyway....wanted to say that up until now I never really tried SPMBT, but with the free download I'm hooked and will get the disc in short order.
With the scenario, without providing any spoilers, I will say the "farmers" were a brilliant touch. The map was large enough and my forces dispersed enough to make developing a real game plan a legitimate challenge. And the game itself was a blast, just when I was using my Bradley mounted scout teams.
Tried a lot of scoot and shoot, picking off a BMP here, a T-72 there, then reversing back into concealment (read wooded terrain) immediately after popping off those shots. Managed to avoid the arty that would typically fall soon after...and managed to delay the Reds a good while with those pickets acting as a sort of forlorn hope. Really, that was my favorite part of the whole battle -- and one section of two vehicles managed to wrack up about a dozen kills before dismounted Russian troops managed to close with us in the woods -- by now the bad guys were everywhere in that area. One Bradley bit it, the other broke into the open south of the treeline, saw a horde of enemy armor and managed to sprint to safety after popping smoke....lot of fun
Can't believe it took me this long to get into this game.
Blackhorse!
