  1. This is fantastic, guys, thank yo uso much for taking the time! Great aar, lots of detail, and good pictures to help us keep track. Just great. Honestly, this is the best thing after actually being able to play, and sometimes it's even BETTER than the game. Cheers to the two of you. Murph
  2. Agree 100%!! So...where do we find these scenarios? In the scenario depot, I have a hard time finding many good ones, most tend to be 1200+. Any suggestions would be welcome, as I've already played most of the ones I found. The QB is not as trustworthy as a scenario in providing a balanced, interesting battle with a reasonable sized map (for small points they tend to be too thin and too long). Thanks! Murph
  3. Fionn and Cortes: You have been accused of hijacking this thread. I don't necessarily agree, but regardless I must inform you of your punishment: You are henceforth obligated to keep us informed of your matchup. Cortes, a descriptive post will do (at worst), a real AAR with pictures and Fionn's comments would be the dream. Thanks in advance, Murph
  4. Welcome to our little "Combat Mission world" KV-2! Look forward to hearing your views from the Russian perspective. Cheers Murph
  5. Wow, this is amazing! Congrats to all involved! What makes me sad though, is that since I don't speak any of the languages in the game, this incredibly immersive element is completely lost on me. I rarely even notice the voices. Thinking back to CMBBO classics like "My leg!!" or even the simple "yes sir!", it makes me wish that back then we had had such a wealth of sounds. It would force you to spend every turn at level 1 just to hear what they had to say! Murph
  6. I bow my head in shame. I should have known better. I don't know what the issue was, but it was solved by a simple reboot. I know. I'm a moron. OK, I've been playing on this exact same laptop for a while. Nothing has changed at all that I'm aware of. I upgraded to 1.02 and it worked fine as well. Today, I tried to fire up the game, and I get the black screen asking me to select the screen size. If I click next, it sends me back to desktop. If I click accept, it gives me a black screen. After a while, nothing happens so I press any key and go back to desktop. I'm baffled. Any clue? Thanks in advance, Murph [ February 21, 2003, 03:18 PM: Message edited by: Murph ]
  7. I Love AAR's. First of all, because one can learn tremedously from following the though process of another person in an actual battle (not in a generic hints and tips write up). But mostly, it's because it brings you into the game almost as much as the real thing (especially when there are some pics to aid in visualizing). When you're at work, nothing beats a good AAR read during lunchtime to get you your CMM fix! Murph

  9. Hey Flesh, thanks for sharing, that was a really cool AAR. I NEVER play battles that large (I shudder when I see the word battalion!). How do you deal with all the micromanagent? Your turns must take a long time to plan/plot. Seems like a good battle. If anything I would say you were too slow/tentative on your left mechanized attack, had you timed it better you would have won more points (but at a steep cost, because he had tons of infantry left over). From your account it would seem like he never dropped arty on you, which would seem off for a battle this size. By the way, the link to his version is not working for me, is it still posted. Thanks again, Murph
  10. Hey guys: If you're into AAR's with lots of pics (as the one above), I posted one a while back, the link is below. Mind you, it's a CMBB AAR. AAR: The Storming of Brailev island Cheers, Murph
  11. Well done Jeremy! Loved the AAR, it seems like an eopic battle, very evenly matched and extremely bloody! I really enjoy AAR's with pictures, it brings you into the game almost as much as the game itself! My only beef was that it was split up into 10 turn increments, so a lot of the specific drama of each turn gets left out, but if that means that you have time to make more AAR's, then bring it on! One last suggestion: Like tons of people around here, I've moved on to CMBB, and don't ever go into the CMBO board, I just happened to see your post by chance. Yet everyone loves AAR's so maybe next time you can do a quick post on the general forum to let us know you posted? You would get a much larger and appreciative audience that way. Thanks again! Murp
  12. Yes, thank you. It was a delightful read, and a great learning tool. Gotta love AARs! Murph
  13. What's the song/composer that plays during the opening of CMBB? I was watching The Osbournes over the weekend, it was an episode where that nasty skateboarder friend of Jack's comes back to stay at their place for a couple of days. During a scene halfway through where the group is sitting around drinking beers, I hear the song start to play in the background! My first though was that someone in the actual show was firing up the game on a laptop our something Anyway, the song continues playing in a crescendo, and then (I kid you not) we get treated to some homoerotic, barechested sweaty wrestling between Jack and his friend for like 3 min. I fear I will never be able to think of esteppes, UberFinns or PZII's again as I boot up the game... Cheers, Murph
