    A fond farewell to CM

    in Combat Mission - Scenario Talk

    Posted

    Hey Hans! It's been a long run. Thanks for all that you've done for CM behind the scenes and the fun translations you've provided.

    Steve

    My pleasure in some ways I enjoying making those 200+ scenarios as much as playing the game.

    On the translations, my Libyan contact disappeared and I haven't heard from him since the civil war started. My Syrian contact now lives in Dubai and is a supporter of the regime. My Palestinian contact has become an American and his first name is 'Jihad'.

    A fond farewell to CM

    in Combat Mission - Scenario Talk

    Posted

    After thirteen years of great entertainment and fun I played my last CM battle last week, from a habit of a half dozen battles a day and having three or four PBEM always ongoing. I kept at least one PBEM going all those years, until the last one finally ended - in victory.

    Moving on now

    Thanks for the the great game!

    Battlefront Mod and Scenario Depot - your opinion counts

    in General Discussion Forum

    Good idea but isn't it a few years too late?

    I applaud the effort but why now?

    I suspect that the playing of CMBB and CMAK will go one for many years. If all the support for these games were placed into Battlefront, then if Battlefront were to shut down all this material would then be lost.

    I think of PanzerBlitz, which is still being played, and what would have happened if all the new materials for that had been entrusted to Avalon Hill. However I don't think the fully developed and mature fan supported sites are going to fold up - why would they? So what exactly would this new site provide?

    Now here is a problem, I have about 200 CMBB and CMAK scenarios - how would these be transferred to this new mega site? Electronically? ok. Slowly uploaded as I did from the old TSD to TSDII? I don't think so.

    Again I think the idea has merit but the present environmnet may not support its success.

    'Caper' scenarios?

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    yep I used that method (artillery fire representing a timed demolition of a bridge) however even with a TRP the damn round sometimes missed!

    You can use mines to block a bridge representing "damage" then engineers can clear it. I used that a number of times and it works well.

    I did a number of those types of scenarios.

    I often used a FO unit (large point value) stripped of any ammo as a "target" or "VIP". Generally CM is poorly suited for such scenario but you can come up with an approximation.

    Oh and no you cannot dig in anything that doesn't have a turret (AFAIK)

    More atmosphere for towns: commercials, propaganda posters, arabic slogans etc

    I was just referring to this comment:

    " heavily decorated shops, beautiful (but filthy) old buildings, posters with portraits of Assad,

    Actually posters and painting of Hafez Al-Assad, Bashir and even dead #1 son Basel. In a mixture of settings and clothes.

    Syrian's to whom I've shown these pictures to have said the same things, their comments and mine have been forwarded to the gentlemen running the show.

    As Madmatt and others have said there are some limits on what can be done but I suspect it will look "Syrian" if a bit cleaner and better organized than the original.
