Had a close as shit game on MOW DCG. Started out as me in 2 infantry squads as US versus best koreas 5 T34's, clowncar, ZIS-76 ATgun and their motorbike. My best squad got bombed instantly by some plane so I scrapped what was left together and tried to flank the enemy. In the way my men killed a tank. I pushed over the bridge and ran my remaining 6 men to a building to heal. Suddenly I notice the massive amount of shit coming from the bridge: 2 T34's. I moved my most men to another building so my bazookaguy can get a clear shot on two tanks, which he did. 2 tanks destroyed before they could do anything. So I regroup my men, move them to my killed squad to scavenge whatever AT weapons they can find to and capture the bike to get an offencive going with my whole army of 4 and take down that clowncar, ATgun, T34/85 and a squad of infantry bundled together right ontop of their point. I sneak my 2 men behind a rock near the point and my bazookaguy behind a tractor while the two guys on the bike give away their 2 AT grenades and rush into the middle, firing blindly at anything and successfully killing the ATgun crew before the T34 shotted at them. Luckily they were in the middle of enemy squad and the tank killed pmuch everyone. Then the clowncar descided it likes the rock my men are hidden behind and runs there. One of my guys ATnades the car and, sucessfully destroying it to death. While he heals the tank nears onto the rock. My bazooka guy is near luckily and he shoots the engine out. So after that is over my men get together, pat eachother on the back and walk to the cap zone, only to find the ATgun is intact. Getting a funky idea, they round it up, turn it around and take a shot at T34 only to find it does nothing. Then they move it around the tank to get a shot from it's other side onto the ammo storage. Just as they are halway there behind the tank the tanks turret suddenly starts rotating towards them. They start running "OH SHIT OH FUCK OH SHIT OH FUCK", they get in position, and I aim, totally forgetting where was the dump on russian tanks, and fire, as the enemy gun had just locked onto them. BAM! CACLONK! ... ... KABOOOOOM! As the atgun crew was thrown away by the blastwave and knocked out the battle, where 5 men bravely stood against a whole platoon of best Korea and won. Here's the final moment after I blewed the tank [IMg]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/576668016231196783/1E18953A1977667E5605EDED1B8F299247F534E9/[/IMG]

:patriot:

DCG is fun, I now have 3 howitzers, one was captured after I lost a duel against it, 1 Pershing and I've captured 2 T34's thanks to the howitzers. Now no plane bugs me cause the howitzers fire them down pmuch instantly.

The fuel system in DCG is retarded after you run out of fuel you can only buy 100 fuel, no more That's not enough for even crossing a normal sized map

Tank commanders carry fuel tanks on them. You can also press "clear inventory" which resupplies

I [B]hate[/B] that damn editor whenever ships are involved. Sure it's fine for making normal maps, but as soon as ships come into play it all goes to hell. So I placed a destroyer in the water, but the infantry would not get onto it. Ok then, I bring it to land, fill it up with a crew (which is irritating, because I'd need it to be empty and be boarded in-game, would make everything easier) then move it to the water. Then I remember that I need to give it a player right? So I set it as player 1 and all the retards jump off the ship (probably because it's not their team's anymore), so I bring it to land again and make a player 1 owned crew, which then I can not order to board because surprise surprise if you press F1 in-editor you are player 0, so I can't order them to board.

ALWAYS in F3.

[QUOTE=Profanwolf;29146542]Never place units in map mode, It's pretty much rule number one as it's part of the map and not the mission then. ALWAYS in F3.[/QUOTE] Will try when I get home, thanks. Also is it possible to attach cannons to, for example, a barge? I remember that Hunting (the MP map) had a barge with cannons on it, but I don't remember if it was mobile or not.

I don't remember quite how, but yeah you can. The barge comes with cannons by default though

Bumping this. Playing DCG campaign as the Gerries. After fending off a HUGE attack by the US, I went around in a stolen jeep I've had for a while collecting equipment for my awesome troops. 20 minutes go by and I've just about finished getting everything I need, when bam, I flip the fucking jeep killing the 3 guys who were also pretty awesome, and leaving me with no mode of transport for over 2000 rounds of rifle ammunition, 1500 SMG rounds, 5000 MG rounds, 20 sandbags, 3 bazookas and other assorted goodies. So fuck, at least I saved it just after I killed the last guy. Time to go through all that again. I also replaced the jeep's M1917 with a BAR because it's awesome.

The only casualties I sustained was one crewman on a 150mm cannon and a rifleman I used to take a BF109 to kill the last guy. An attempt to land in a patch of rocks rendered him not alive. I also replaced the jeep's M1917 with a BAR because it's awesome.

Why is it that every single MoW standard server is either infantry only, tanks only, or coop?

Get MOWAS and play ranked games?

[QUOTE=Mbbird;29502181]Why is it that every single MoW standard server is either infantry only, tanks only, or coop?[/QUOTE] Basically this, and the extremely annoying Russian team-stack noob-stomps every time. Invest in MoW:AS, or better, get GSM: Fields of Honor 4. MoW:AS has been taking a downturn for the worse lately after the recent patch, and more so in the future if DMS continues to spew out more player-splitting general MP map DLC's.

[QUOTE=doomsniper;29502288]Get MOWAS and play ranked games?[/QUOTE] Pay 3 times more than I payed originally for same game?

Pay 3 times more, and get about a +/- 5% content increase, basically. But really, you should try GSM: Fields of Honor 4 though, fantastic mod(Even better than MoW:AS, imo.)

Best thing about AS is that it has colors. Looks a lot better than Men of Grey. Doesn't mean that alone is worth buying it but I really like how it actually has colors.

I'd rather say the best thing is that infantry combat is actually useful, even though GSM(yet again) has managed better.

DMS Instinct, thanks for getting Frontlines fixed. But I am disappointed that more new maps weren't added for free before diluting the already small multiplayer community with the Alpha DLC.

Manfred.Spa is using cheat engine in rank games to speed them up. Just wanted to bring that up.

What is the Difference if I buy AS, Without Owning MoW/Red Tide? I wan't to play this game against AI in Skirmish so bad.

No difference. AS is a completely standalone game, not an expansion.

Added the UK M4A4, Stug IIIG and StuH42 to DCG. Say or something if you guys want the xml, O yeh I turned the prices down on some of the vehicles too.

66% off on MoW:AS [url]http://store.steampowered.com/app/64000/[/url] Join the cool guys!

bought it two days ago why steam why

Would Assault Squad be the best Men of War to get?

[QUOTE='[DMS]Instinct;29635384']66% off on MoW:AS [url]http://store.steampowered.com/app/64000/[/url] Join the cool guys![/QUOTE] I wonder if I'll get the DLC mappack if I buy it now seeing as how I have that gold thing where you got the betas before everybody else. They said something about us receiving it for free. [editline]5th May 2011[/editline] Good thing I am finally 18. I have to set up my bank account so I can buy stuff on my own now. :dance:

[QUOTE=Bullseye;29635956]Would Assault Squad be the best Men of War to get?[/QUOTE] If you plan on getting the game for playing mostly multiplayer, then yep, AS is the game for you. If you want some cool SP missions you( and horribly difficult stealth missions:frog:) might want to buy the regular MoW. Single player maps are copy pasted in AS.

Vietnam looks like the shit! Im gonna get the collector pack probly.
