Alain-James I have 2 x 8800 Ultra SLI, QX6800 quad core chip. I've set my machine to dual boot with Win XP Pro and Vista 32 Ultimate. CMBB and CMAK work fine under XP but I get the cascading issue in Vista (but I haven't tried the AA fix yet).

I would just like to ask if there are any plans to open up the game to pre orders, and if so when. I was quite late getting CMBO but I don't want to miss the boat this time! BTW I did a search on this topic with no result.

BTW, my record at TH is so damn poor, I think you'll agree I just like playing the game!

The answer seems to be talk to your opponent before you start the game. At least you can be sure of the sort of game you will have.

Outstanding! Could you please send me a copy.

I'd like to participate, as Germans or British if possible.

Depends on the armour I'm facing. If I've determined that I'm up against a Churchill VIII or Stuh IV, I'll tread very warily with my PBI. If I'm facing a fairly standard tank with a gun of 75mm, them my plan will remain fairly unaffected, though I'll be trying to get my AT assets to silence him.

Absolutely Not! It's infantry that wins battles, armour just helps them along.

The episode on Anzio is very good also.

Many thanks guys for your quick replies, I'll be sure to check them all out.

Does anybody know of any decent, fairly well balanced scenarios which would be suitable for PBEM or TCP/IP play? QB's are OK, but can get a little tedious. I did a search and only found an old post which referred to the Nijmagen scenario which shipped with the game. Any help will be graciously accepted.

This thread has come up a couple of times before. From a personal view, the Pacific theatre does not offer the appeal of historic combined arms combat. In fact I don't think I'd be too wide of the mark in saying that most Pacific/Far East battles were mainly infantry affairs. Don't get me wrong, I think there is a place for a Pacific/Far East CM, but rather this would be better as an add on pack rather than the broad spectrum of combat and terrain encompassed by the war Eastern europe.

Unfortunately at this time of year you are catching the start of the Xmas post. Mine took 2 weeks, so I'd add about a week on top of that.

I'm in the UK, but I'm in for the register.
