QB Kaos
Приєднався 17 лют 2021
Using the Combat Mission Quick Battle option, we play Combat Mission Cold War, Black Sea and Shock Force 2. We might also play Field of Glory II.
The aim of the channel is to (badly) field test different tactics in different settings to develop my tactical skills. Usually, the CM QBs are tiny forces on tiny maps, with random force selection, played real time. In FOGII, the battle may be a published scenario or pot luck. Some battles might be published scenarios.
So, expect a lot of defeats as we desperately try to improve our tactical skills. Since the forces are AI generated, we suspend reality and assume both sides are throwing whatever forces are available into the battle. QB Kaos!
Little to no narration.
Host is Leuitenant Colonel Lord Bernard Lamington, Laird of South Mountain, Grand Duke of Duchessy.
Sister channel to Wombat Thunder.

I cant say how many times I've had Abrams just charge frontally toward the enemy, it's a bad habit I need to stop. The alternative is to pull back and flank the enemy ....

Battle Buddies is a new format where I take 2-3 vehicles and see how far I get in a QB match. Its designed to help me understand the vehicles, their tactics and strengths and weaknesses in a randomised setting. #combatmission #combatmissionblacksea

Battle Buddies is a new format where I try to go into action with just 2 or 3 vehicles, and see how far I get. Its purpose is to develop my vehicle awareness: tactics, weapons, other systems, strengths and weaknesses, and so on. #combatmission #combatmissionshockforce2
Combat Mission Final Blitzkreig - Volk Grenadiers with Sturm Rifles
Переглядів 305Місяць тому
We realise that the Germans have battalions with a lot of assault rifles: the Volksgrenadier battalions armed with StG44 Sturmgewehr. They put down a lot of firepower, but as usual the QB Kaos 30 minute format means a lot of running across open ground. The German assault is ably assisted by 2 Stug's and a flak halftrack, good to see them in action. The Volksgrenadiers are usually given low rati...
Combat Mission Red Thunder - Red Army Tank Regiment
Переглядів 213Місяць тому
We switch units and try out an assault using a red army tank regiment assisted by a reduced company of submachine gunnners. We stop in the wrong place and a couple of T34/85s get hit by German 75mm AT guns, and the tank riders go down with them. As we all know, tank riders are very exposed, and need to be riders in the safest of circumstances. #combatmission #combatmissionredthunder
Combat Mission Red Thunder- Guards Storm Group '45 with an IS-2
Переглядів 792 місяці тому
Crushing all the desperate German opposition, Red Guards come out on top. The Waffen SS had neither AT or tank support, expecting an infantry assault, but the AI is hard to rely on to give itself a decent selection. We must try the storm group concept in different terrain settings, including built up areas. The basic game still gives the Guards infantry just one or none SVT-40s in 1945, rather ...
Combat MIssion Red Thunder - Storm Group '45 with an SU-152
Переглядів 1532 місяці тому
By now, the combo of a couple of T34s and an assault gun with plenty of ammo is pretty devastating. Even with lighter artillery preparation, the armour deals a good deal of destruction. Though we should never entirely discount how bad the AI force selection is. #combatmission #combatmissionredthunder
Combat Mission Red Thunder - Red Army Storm Group '44
Переглядів 1062 місяці тому
We swapped to the Infantry Battalion '44 and using T-34-85, SU-122 and a few SU-76Ms got the German surrender. Still, the Russians seem to lack firepower - they're using the rare SVT-40 when I'd thought a extra PPS/SH would be more common by '44. I also had the tanks move ahead first - to save the now increasingly rare - Russian infantry from high losses. As usual a 30 minute time frame forced ...
Combat Mission Red Thunder - Red Army Storm Group '43
Переглядів 2443 місяці тому
Inspiration for this vid came from the book "Hitler's Nemesis: The Red Army 1930-45" by W S Dunn. On page 13 he describes Red Army storm groups as comprising: a rifle company, 2 or 3 tanks or Sus, 2 antitank guns, 2 divisional artillery guns (76mm or 122mm howitzers) and detachments of engineers and chemical warfare groups. In this playing I threw in a Sturmovik for some fun (which didnt work w...
Combat Mission Fortess Italy - AI Fail
Переглядів 694 місяці тому
Eventually it had to happen, I broke Combat Mission. Well, not quite. The AI set-up the opposing Germans - both infantry and tanks - in a far corner away from the action and then doesn't move them the whole game. But the Germans did get an Fw190 in the air and that caused casualties, dammit. #combatmission #combatmissionfortressitaly
Combat Mission Fortress Italy - Italians Attack
Переглядів 5244 місяці тому
I've given the Italians veteren status and 1 leadership so this infantry assault was quite successful, except for the casualties. The US had no chance with their Sherman taken out by an Italian semovente. And the AI gave the Americans flamethrowers which caused a lot of point blank casualties, totally unexpected. #combatmission #combatmissionfortressitaly
