Status: offline 		When choosing which type of round to fire in the indirect fire menu, one of the choices in "CBE". What is it? I looked at the artillery section of the manual but did not see an explaination.

Status: offline 		There are two main types of smoke shells; chemical base-eject (CBE) and phosphorus (usually noted as WP for white phosphorus).

While we don't have WP in Panzer Command yet (it was mainly used on the Western Front), it works differently than CBE. CBE is the kind of smoke shell that takes a while to build up but can make very thick smoke, whereas WP creates smoke that is not as thick but it creates it much more quickly as it is part of the initial explosion.

Regards,

Status: offline 		WP is also a huge threat for starting fires, which should arrive in the game series about the same time as WP coincidentally....

Good Hunting.
