Drop me an email if you are up for a game. I just got the game and have not played any scenarios - like to play them blind. So pick any scenario, any side and send it over to gstockbridge@comcast.net.

gstockbridge@comcast.net any scenario, any side ok with me

Send anything over, any side - gstockbridge@comcast.net

Don't have Skype - up for a game though. gstockbridge@comcast.net. Pick anything and any side and send it over.

When I plot the movement points the actual location seems to be offset from where the pointer is when I click to register the weigh-point. It is not always the case - but often.

Well said ... also, one of the things I like about Panther Games is their willingness to come on line and talk with those that buy (or are considering buying) their games. A shame their passion for the game and it's design is called spin by someone unable to have a reasonable discussion of anything other than their view of the world.

JasonC, You make a number of good points. I have to disagree with just one - a real time engine for operational battles can work. I have played turn based strategy games for years but have found the RDOA/HTTR/COTA game engine to be incredibly good at mid-range operational level play (1-10 day battles). It is pausable when needed and also incorporates a tremendous amount of features that increase the complexity of the game. A well thought out delayed orders component, a supply system with incredible detail and significant impacts if ignored, impacts of fatigue that realistically impact the game flow, and a fog of war that must be mastered to interpret enemy intentions. Although I am not a fan of this game against the AI, I believe it is unmatched in head to head play. The engine has come a long way from the RDOA days to the COTA release and I believe the Bulge release will be the best in the series. It is well worth your trying it out given your background and experience. The one downside is the size of the customer base and ability to find good online players. Turn based players do sometimes find it hard to adjust to the flow of this game but I find it the most enjoyable gaming I have done in my 35 years of playing.

I am looking to buy a new video card - any suggestions on what is the most compatible with games like CM. I am looking for a midrange card. Thanks

I just changed cards and now have the one mentioned above. I am locking up when I start the game. I have already gone to the glsetup.com website as mentioned on a previous post with no luck in fixing this. Any suggestions on settings to change? Gary

Looking for someone to start up one of the scenarios at this web site. I have not looked at it - prefer a blind game. http://users.pandora.be/aneric/index8.htm#CM Relief of Bastogne would be my preference - either side.

I am from Chester County outside of Philly - I'm in.

Just bumping this up to see if there are any challengers up for this today...

I had an idea for a new ongoing post. It is called “king of the hill” since whoever wins the most will get to keep posting. It goes like this. The first person to accept the challenge plays me in a quick battle with the following parameters: Combined arms, medium map, no restrictions on units, automatically picked units, meeting engagement, 1,250 points, no handicap and 20 turns. The other settings are up to the challenger (including the choice of sides). The winner gets to post the win and take on the next challenge. Once you have played once and lost you can not re-challenge. Players must at a minimum average 1 turn a day. As long as you keep winning you get to keep posting (hence the “king of the hill”). Points are used to declare winner (so only an exact same score would be a draw). Once a challenge goes up it always is given to the first player to post. I hope this makes sense. Please make a separate post for comments on this since I wanted to keep this to just winning posts & accepted challenges. [This message has been edited by yakstock (edited 09-30-2000).]

I could not find this on the site? Am I looking in the wrong place?

How can I install two versions of CM? I wanted to have the last two versions installed so I can complete games & start new ones at the same time. When I go to set-up it does not look like I can do anything but modify, repair or remove.
