Graviteam Mius: Platoon Tactics 

That was not only a great GTMF video, that was a great explanation of German combat doctrine and tactics. Thank you.

I love the way you explain things - very clear and comprehensible. And honestly the platoon/company level is more interesting to me than the full battalion or whatever scale MF operates at, so this was especially interesting. Nice tactical deployment!

Great tutorial - as always! Pre-planned "commander observed fire" in combination with "walking fire" is extremely fast and effective. And thanks for covering "Wehrmacht" units and tactics. The infantry squads were basically build around the lMG gunner(s), the other squad members were essentially "ammo bearers"... :) 2500 rounds for the lMG in reality (only 60 rounds, on the other hand, for the "normal" Kar 98k rifle) - and the same goes for GT; I am always amazed that Graviteam gets every detail right! Another nice detail in GT: In the deployment phase the lMG gunner has all 2500 rounds (IS and SmK) in the "Ammo List". When you start the battle (after the initial orders phase), wait for ca. 10sec: The ammo will then be distributed and will also be shown in the entry for the second "MG-Schütze" in the ammo list! When the lMG gunner starts to fire, the ammo will be given back to him. There are even more details, for example, when the "ammo bearer" is killed. I think I will ask about some of them in the steam forum in the future...

This channel is small but outstanding. I have been considering picking up Mius since I learned about Graviteam a few days ago and your gameplay of Fateful Strike was my introduction to Graviteam's gameplay. Subbed and keep up the awesome, niche content!

Great job once again, I can't say enough about your efforts! I have sent your video links to some others who post vids saying the have trouble with the UI and other matters you touch upon. I also would like to see a vid on the editor and views on how to use it, when you have the time or inclination. Perhaps one on towing guns and platoon's using vehicle's to assist troop movements and the like. As always Mr. WarSimmer a fantastic job, thank you for your efforts and time! Looking forward to more great content!

Thanks for the video. Went back to play Graviteam recently and your content is not only entertaining but helpful as well.

Haha you did it! Glad you gave the platoon commander observed fire and base of fire tactics a try. 😁 It's so different to have those squad LMGs in support instead of confined to a glorified SMG role. Your 1st Platoon mortar was within LOS of the enemy position which ofc wouldn't have been the case but that also shows how good the GT AI is at immediately recognising that threat and neutralising it. The video also demonstrates the importance of firepower and not just numbers. To make it a bit more challenging you could have had a couple of HMG emplacements for the enemy but overall this is a great video and it does offer a bit of micro for those who enjoy it.

As usual, a very nice and detailed work from you! Keep going! You're contributing a lot to this game!

Really great video ! I have been playing a lot recently, but I never used your tactics ! Inspiring ! Thx a lot ! Oh and the video is gorgeous. Good job !

Liked and subscribed. Just picked this game up and it's very overwhelming... I still have no idea what to do really but thanks to your videos it's gradually seeping into my thick skull. I've still got a long way to go before I'm ready to actually play this beast of a game but your delivery is spot on, comprehensive, concise and very entertaining. Cheers!

Another great Video ! Thank you very much !

please post more graviteam, your explanation and video footage are incredibile. thank to you I have bought the game and also started using the stuff you teached me. ;)

Superb video, great explaination of small unit tactics. Always looking for mission files to replay you videos on my own. Thank you so much.

Thanks! I'm a newbie and have been looking for 2 days for a video on how to control support weapons. The biggest help was the sub-squads. The manual talks about the commands you have available but not how or why you would want to use them. I was getting frustrated at a motor squad attached to a platoon and I had no idea how to get them to fire. They were just constantly moving and not firing with the rest of the platoon and were the 1st to be taken out. 😱👍👌

Really awesome content, love your channel! Hope you are well and still warsimmering.

Video deserves like, mate:) I'm a Combat mission fan, but due to covid isolation I'm planning to dive into Graviteam. Therefore I have a couple of questions. You presented an attack over basically open ground on an entrenched enemy. Available fire support were several light MG-34s and 3 light mortars. 1) Will the attack succeed without mortars, just with lmgs? 2) If the answer to the first question is positive then aren't MG-34s seriously overpowered? Surely this machine gun has rate of fire two times bigger then DP or Bren, but, you know, this was not enough for a platoon to frontally assault hostile entrenched platoon. This reasoning has been confirmed during ww2 when all officers including german ones tried to achieve numerical superiority for frontal assaults. The same holds in Combat mission, where a platoon attacking an entrenched platoon over open ground is basically doomed.

I need more of these vids bro. This game's a gem but is quite difficult to learn

Just learning about the Graviteam Tactics franchise, and absolutely love your videos. I am a big fan of North Africa and would love to see your take on campaigns from the Tunisia 1943 installment.

No wonder my infantry aren't particularly effective. I just keep the whole group together the whole time. I had no idea there were so many sub selections you can do.

Another great video. Thank you.

Very informative video. Good job.

great video, keep it coming bro

Keep them coming

Very good video. Ctrl grouping is something I've never done. I'll be watching more of your videos to see what other things I am missing or can't figure out. Like turning the bloody Marders to face the enemy. Lol.

excellent video, thank you

Continue this vidios you are good

You explain thing pretty good!

10:52 i laughed my ass off when dude gets hit right in the beak with that grenade. thanks for the great guide

Hey, another great tutorial! One question, is there any downside to holding back the platoon commander back, like a morale hit? I’m new to the game (but loving it) and I usually do what you say at the beginning by ‘focusing on the macro’, by selecting a whole platoon and just sending them on the attack. I’m starting to think I’m doing it wrong and should hold back the leadership and support elements.

Please do a tutorial on how to set up a "quick battle" like you are playing, Awesome job btw

Waitnig for more tutorials :)

This is the game ive been looking for. I thought HOI4, Total War, Fsx, and Football Manager are the end of my journey. I am struggling to study this sim. A steep learning curve, but I enjoy it a lot

Looks like an alternative to close combat the bloody first. I love to command a platoon sized combat

WS.....Nice little 'O' Group...Well presented. I was just a ''Rifle'' when I was a kid and we could only pretend to do this on 'boards' and little mounds of dirt and tape in the field.... back in the day... I'm sure you've read Rommel (concentrate your AT mit your panzers), Guderian (concentrate your Armour,) Von Manstein, manoeuvre & keep them off balance and my buddy Model on defence. When you get time, you might want to check out JJ Fedorowicz Publishing in Winnipeg, Manitoba.....Blase deinen verstand. Viel gluck.............Prost.🍻

wonderful! This video help me a lot. by the way, is this map a mod or original?I can't find same place in my custom battle?

i cant figure out the selecting individuals and like the machine gun units and seperating them from the squad. i dont see any settings for it. is it part of a dlc?

what unit markers you using i dont see my support unitsd on standard

I'll admit, I don't use the maneuver modifier as much as I should.

One more question. I keep getting a lot of units with a magenta "NO LOF" in under their names. As far as I can tell they've suffered no damage or loss to personnel. I assume that means "No Line of Fire" but I don't know for sure as I couldn't find anything about it in the manual. Looking from their perspective on their level, they can see all around them and nothing is obstructing their view. I've had it happen with field guns, tanks, and even mortars. What the hell is that?

10:51 did that Soviet get knocked out by a stick grenade ? ;D

Pls teach me senpai!

How did you put the behaviour modifiers tab (shoot at infantry, save ammo, manuever control etc.) on the left? Mine is at the bottom and i find that your arrangement is more convenient.

Hi The WarSimmer Which strategy game do you like the most? The Graviteam? Battlefront? Steel Division 2? Just found the channel but already love your work. I own Tank Warfare Tunisia and SD2, trying to learn TWT now

Animations crack my up in this game.

the way the Infantry actually move in bounds and cover each other is impressive. This illustrates one of the reasons I hate war movies.

Great tutorial! I should watch it multiple times. And, could you please recommend me some campaigns that easy to handle (i.e easy to win for a noob like me ;-) ), so that I can keep practicing without so much frustration?

Hi 👋 Like you l enjoy the preparation placing units and their commanders etc. But please can u help me. Despite me looking and looking in manuals and u tube I cannot find any reference to the green white and yellow arrows that move between groups of soldiers. After spending time placing men and their commanders close by. I still get no commander message in red as soon 🔜 as May preparations are complete and I begin battle. Do these arrows accurately tell me I have a commander with each platoon ? or not. Regards. Robin.

every time I send a scouting party out they get killed very quickly before I can get an accurate location on enemy. I even use sub squads when I recon. It’s very frustrating, is there a way to spot enemy while hidden in recon to call artillery or setup attack before without recon getting wiped out first. Can you do a recon squad spotting video? irl a 2 man recon could easily spot enemy entrenchment without being caught. Doesn’t seem realistic

What is your graphic settings? Any tip to increase performance? It seems grass detail has high impact on fps. Your game looks good.

Hey, so is this no longer possible in the 2023 version of the game? I can't find any way to select the elements of a squad, in the f6 mode that shows the sub elements, without the game either selecting all other squad elements of the platoon and the commander too... I can't shift+click a squad main element like you do in this video. I can only shift+drag select the said element but this selects every other squad main element and the platoon leader with it.

Why does it seem so easy to select units using your method? Every time i try to separate my support units it automatically clicks the commanding units. And my interface doesn't look the same, i dont have the NATO icons, how do i get those?

How to make the UI same as yours? So It has the definition of the icons next to the icons?

And can you do the same thing with the russians ? Because when i select the sub-unit, sometimes i only have rifles or, no sub-units at all.

More videos graviteam tactics mius front!!!

Why are your guys wearing full backpacks and mine do not? only those bedrolls. Because vanilla?

Do you have a sound mod on? My Mgs do not sound the same as yours.

hey every one is this game still on in 2020 or is there a newer version of this game? I come from Hearts of iron 4. and i wanne try something else.

WarSimmer, Please pardon me!!! Your answear can help me a lot!!!! Would you mind if I wonder you some questions that is how I can assign 2 men in platoon to a particular team for recon mission. And my last question is how to assign the different color team to same color or same command hierarchy. Thanks You for spending time and reading my comment.

Why do my tracers look like flying pink halos and yours look more realistic?

How can i download this "game" or whatever it is?

i guess its good to turn it off for observed fire

only thing puts me off this game is fire control i dont full understand it i know if its on then your whole army shares info on enemy locaitons but idont get it for observed fire isent it suppose to be on

you cant micro in muis not what its about the support will fire anyway

your wrong about fire contorl it just means youll see more enemies fire contorl is better on

theres better ways

most time mgs cant see nothing

Nice explanation, but synthesized voice is meh.

no other war sim comes close to this game ppl compare this to cm cm is shite lmao on this game your oil tanker can blow or your guns can jam or tanks get stuck in mud or set on fire amazing game

russians have mg and morter support
