There SHOULD be a comparison between CM and ToW. There seems to be too little command and control compared to CM. Surely it wouldn't be too much to ask for the 'advance to contanct', or 'move' or 'fast move' commands? My tanks if left unmanaged (which with lots of tanks is hard to keep up), they wander all over the place, getting shot up in their flanks.

Sounds good, but there is just too little CONTROL. If you had the flexiblity of CM moves (I know this isn't CM, but the company has pulled a blinder before with that title), then this game would rule the RTS market. Just my tuppence...

Never mind crashing - mines fine for that - was this thing playtested? Tanks wander all over the place preseneting broadsides. When I give command to stay still , the tanks move off whenever they like. Not to mention the old CM bug of turning a tank to face INFANTRY and getting wasted by tanks at their rear. If this game was CM in realtime it would be awesome, but there is too little control. CM move commands in realtime would kill everthing on the market. I guess they had to move away from CM.

My lips are sealed Martin. Thanks for the reply. Rgds.

Hi, Been a while since I've been here, so hello to all. I remember when CMBB came out there was some commotion about US and European versions and censorship due to the sensibilities of our German friends. I am intent on purchasing the CMAK/CMBB bundle, though if I do this online, will I be getting the European version due to my purchase details (UK located)? I know it's a minor point, but if at all possible I would prefer to get the uncensored version out of principle. Thanks. [ December 18, 2003, 04:13 PM: Message edited by: Paul T. Gardner ]

Bumpety-bump-bump. Very much looking forward to those KTs Joshik. Thanks for your efforts.

Joshik, Outstanding work as usual my friend. I have been away from the board for a while and so have been unable to lend my support to your efforts!! Hence, this post is a shameless bump...

Regardless of peoples' views on the T-26, to answer the original question - my vote is with 'Tin Clad Tractor'. I also had a giggle at von luckes "My Other Tank is a KV-1". V.good! rgds

I would also be very interested. Are they hosted? If not, can they be hosted? rgds

As this post started as more of a statement than a discussion thread, I will attempt to turn it into one. Are the Waffen SS troops in CMBB still hampsters? That is to say - are they still as useful as a handbrake on a canoe? I think BTS anticipated hordes of W-SS loving 'grogs' swarming the battle field with legions of elite political soldiers, and did something about it. I can't say what they did, but W-SS in CMBO really suck. Is this still the case?

I'm not trying to get political! This thread has a whif of Peng about it! Ahem, on tho the subject in hand. Reversing into buildings for cover - yes. Driving through them willy-nilly - no. Far too easy to break something useful on the tank. As a more realistic compromise, I think it would have been nice to be able to drive over rubble at least. Then you could drop a building with HE and roll over the remains. I think that there's still a great possibility of throwing a track, and this would probably have to be modelled for the sake of realism. Rgds
