Try something like this

'The Sacred War', it would be perfect for the opening.

Eastern Front / Re: Battle of Britain
« on: January 31, 2011, 04:29:40 PM »
Battles are usually named after where they took place, so 'Battle of Britain' is entirely appropriate.

But after reading this book, it seems that there are lots of myths that surround the battle:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Invasion-1940-Derek-Robinson/dp/1845294416

In a nutshell, even if the RAF had taken an even worse hammering, the Royal Navy and the British Army could have defeated the invasion on their own.

Some perspective. In British waters (not counting vessels on convoy duty or around the world) the RN had 80 Destroyers. The entire German Navy only had 8. The Germans also were forced to use small numbers of totally unsuitable boats for their planned invasion. If they had tried it in 1940 the channel would have been clogged with dead Wermacht soldiers and sinking invasion barges.

'When Titans Clashed: How the Red Army stopped Hitler' is an excellent account of the Eastern Front from the Soviet perspective.

Also, from the German pov - Barbarossa by Alan Clark.

Bugs & Tech Support / Re: Commonwealth Marines Freeze
« on: January 26, 2011, 10:52:38 AM »
Hi all,

I resolved the issue, as moonwalker said it was due to two extra files not included in the patch.

Might be an idea to include these in the main patch?

In any case, kudos to all the development team, you guys are amazing!

Bugs & Tech Support / Commonwealth Marines Freeze
« on: January 25, 2011, 05:38:35 PM »
Hi all,

I've tried playing with the Commonwealth with the RM Commando option on and each time I try it the game freezes once I start a skirmish. It doesn't totally crash, I can still quit out, but my HQ area appears as a void on the minimap and the game is stuck and will not run.

*edti

Ok, so this is happening every time I try to play a skirmish. It just freezes.  ???

Okay, I feel stupid having to ask this, but just how to I activate the RMC changes?

I am patched to 3.1.00 and the launcher says I am updated fully.

I go to the rewards tab and I can see the vehicles (the comet and jagdpanther, jumbo sherman) and the medals tabs, but I can't find where to activate the RMC! Do I have to get the campaign medals?

Thanks!

Tech Support / Custom Music playlists
« on: June 14, 2010, 05:47:38 PM »
Hi all,

I'm wondering about modding my copy of coh, just so that I can have custom music for the main menu and different factions.

My questions are:
A) How do I do this, and
B) Will this have an effect on playing the game online with players who haven't made the same changes?

I've never done any modding before, so I really don't know!!

Thanks very much  :)

Don't forget to garrison chokepoints with outposts - with some infantry in these can hold up counter charges for quite a while.

btw, how do the soviets OP points?

Strategy and Tactics / Axis Strategies
« on: January 22, 2010, 02:46:24 PM »
I've played a few games as axis vs. Soviets, and lost every time.

A few thoughts/ideas

Building a few squads of pioneers and then at least 3 bikes. Use the bikes to harass the soviets, cap with the pioneers.

Keep the soviets off the fuel -  if they build a support centre then they will sniper/PTRD spam, which will kill anything other than heavy armour, and even then their AT guns are very powerful.

MGs- if you can Garrison in a building then these might be some use, but other than that don't bother. Anyone who knows what he is doing will just charge them with a command squad and kill them.

Any other ideas?

For guards (tank riders at least), the hotkey to reinforce (r) is the same as the hotkey for smoke grenades.
