Was it a Soviet unit and can you identify what type of HQ it is? It's possible that the HQ section just consists of a single officer for certain platoon types.(I think I recall seeing this in the Red Army Handbook - need to check) [ October 25, 2002, 03:53 PM: Message edited by: Henry Kearney ]

If you play against the AI most of the time like I do, you'll find that while it can be predictable at times on the offence, the huge variety of situations in CMBB can make most quick battles fascinating. And if you let the computer pick forces, sometimes you'll get handed a very difficult situations, like when I got pasted by the AI when I had infantry with no armor against a Soviet combined arms force.

Whoa, I can't believe they included that! It's an anti-tank mortar. Zaloga says they were ineffective & only 12 confirmed tank kills were recorded. I think they came & went in less than a year.

Got it last night. Fired up a QB and popped open a Yeunglings lager.

My copy has been sitting in the Post Office since Monday & they didn't tell until a day later!! :mad: Will have to pick-up tomorrow first thing before they lose it or something.

Did you get it in Queens? If so I'm hopeful it arrives in the Bronx today. Geez, yesterday not only did I not receive CMBB but I had to deliver 3 pieces of mail to my neighbor that got sent to me by mistake (must be consript mailman).

Tim - thanks for the notice! I live in da Bronx, where mail delivery is very iffy. Mailmen here like to dress in street clothes and deliver other peoples mail to me. I can still hope....

Finally get to see a screenie of the qb generator. Lots of options & new unit types (even has Heer Security Divisions), but what are those "wg" units ??

Barett's Privateer, is your username a reference to the POB series?

Ski troops.

My computer is almost identical pIII600, tnt2 m64, 576mb ram. Demo graphics look great @ 1024 x 768 and are much improved over CMBO. Framerate is not a problem either, at least so far

Great, I leave for vacation on Sept. 1. I'll probably miss the pre-order announcement, and have to wait for the second batch to be pressed like last time ....arghhhhhhhhh!!!

I definitely recall BFC (BTS at the time) discussing the possibility of purchasing camo'ed guns (no just pillboxes). It sounds like it may have not made the final cut, unfortunately, but it sounds like the exteme FOW reduces spotting significantly anyway.

This is such good news. My first game was AH's Panzerblitz when I was just a wee lad those many years ago. It feels sort of like going home again ....... ** SNIFF *** WHEEZE *** HACK

Schrullenhaft, I think you hit the nail on the head. I downloaded mp3 files from Scipio's web site and simply renamed them as wave files (shows you how much I know!). I'll try converting them and see if this works. Thanks for the prompt response and all the help you've provided on this forum. Henry
