" Labrynth has full arty ammo after I used half of it in the previous scenario, contrary to what the briefing said. Possible mistake? "
This happened to me too. Just got to Labyrinth and noticed, hey I have full ammo sweet!
Les Licornets was TOUGH. First two attempts ended in debacle for me. Third time I launched massive pre-bombardment and rushed a platoon and the tanks down the road and that allowed me to split open the nut. Still didn't managed to take less than 10% casualties though ><

I assume there must be another place more commonly used to post looking for opponent classifieds? Or is it ok to do so here? Have been out of the combat mission loop for a while but finally got all the add ones for cmbn and would love to pick up an pbem battle or two!
Cheers, drez

I have to agree that I was disappointed with the so called steel box. It arrived with scratches on the outside, and I was surprised by its overall lack of quality. I guess I just assumed that it would have been more impressive than it actually was. That said, I have no regrets supporting BF by pre ordering it!

Hello, I managed to take a few videos to document some issues I had in a QB game the other day.
Video one shows a close attack to the flank of an American tank by an AT detachment of pioneers. My problem is they did not use their demolition charges? Did I do something wrong here? Why would they only throw grenades?

Video two shows what I thought would have been a fine way of moving a pair of tiger tanks but they keep acting like they were going to bump in to each other. Again, is this normal behavior? I've seen it when vehicles are lined up on the road, but not when they are side by side like this.

Video three shows a German Pioneer squad which has advanced to a low hedge. Two soldiers for some reason lagged behind terribly as shown in the video, with one of them running with his rifle going invisible now and again. Eventually, by cancelling the move order and resetting it, the soldiers stopped glitching and moved normally to join their comrades.

Hugs and kisses teams.
That's what I thought! lol

Hmm.. interesting about the lack of radio on the XO team... how would it be able to form as a new CO without a radio?
-
Different from HQ support teams? so they are basically a unit which existed so are included for the sake of accuracy, but do not perform any unique function within the scope of CMBN?
-
Was wondering if anyone could tell what the XO teams are?
-
I found myself wishing I could just buy a platoon of infantry like I could buy a scout team, or an AT team etc... why not be able to purchase a simple leg infantry platoon without all the hassle?? As flexible as the system may ultimately be, it is quite unwieldy... especially compared to the SPWW2 purchase screen. That said, I love the rarity point system!
-
lol I just noticed and came back to say oops awesome there is a way to turn them off!
-
Wish there was an option to turn the shadows off as they are kinda choppy and odd on my machine but other than that... BEAUTIFUL. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL.

Ditto!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also have Shogun:Total War II and can max the settings (although there isn't any AA available)
Actually there is now, since the latest May 9th patch all graphical features are available for that game. Just so you know
I myself find the balanced/balanced to be the best compromise. Which thankfully makes sense considering it is called balanced!

I had absolutely no problem, US mirror worked fine and downloaded very promptly, but the installation was corrupted!

lol this is like getting teased by a beautiful woman who knows what she is doing XD
The climax is going to be explosive!

It is not about religion it never has been, religion simply provides "authorisation" if you like for the evils of people.
It certainly does that. But Christianity, and Islam in particular do much more than just that. They avoid the truth. If you don't believe that the Bible or the Quran is the literal word of god than you are not actually a believer and are just being dishonest if you say you are. Without those holy books as representations of the divine word of god than the religions have no basis for existence. They are just another fiction on the shelf. This is not to say you cannot learn anything from fiction, but what is the point in pretending to know answers to profound questions without actually knowing?
I think it is quite in our human nature to fight, but maybe, just maybe if we can get these ancient and obsolete religions out of our systems we can have some proper, honest fights, for honest reasons. Raw, greedy bickering with no imagined "authorizations" from some divine source.
I think that the core essence of the teachings of the Buddha and of Lao Tzu and Kuo Hsiang are the best models of spirituality that have been invented so far. They do not suppose of some imaginary entity influencing our lives and are fully compatible with the scientific method.

I do not think that "going nazi" on religion is the best way to get rid of it. I think, and I mentioned before, that it takes education. More science literacy in the world, and I mean more ingrained scientific method within our minds (see General Semantics), would help to create a generation of people who are not taught to blindly follow some invisible tyrant all seeing and immoral deity but who use their actual senses in order to navigate the world. Not saying it would end war and violence, but I would be willing to wager that it would drop enormously. If the people are well educated with scientific values then they will likely just throw away the old holy books themselves, retaining some for historic values. Creating museums dedicated to the religious chapters in human history lol OK sorry now I am just daydreaming
Check out this little clip:
(kill the music too unless you like it)take from it what you will.
Oh and AB good luck out there... Get them Taliban *******s! As much as I like to play devils advocate, I am firmly on the US side of things.
As much as I see/hear people go on and on about how bad religion is and about how stupid and hateful religious people are, I have yet to see/hear anyone actually go all the way (so to speak) with the basic anti-religion thought. If one takes the statement "religion is evil" to its logical conclusion, one arrives at a getting rid of religion. But one ought to think long and hard about all that getting rid of religion would involve. It would involve destroying all religious books (or at least locking them away, as if they were ink-and-paper bombs), demolishing all religious buildings (even the great cathedrals and such, which now are more tourist attractions than houses of worship), and imprisoning all religious people (i.e. those who refused to renounce their beliefs). So basically getting rid of religion would involve temporarily going Nazi on a world-wide scale. <good-natured sarcasm> But hey, if that's what it takes to ensure those who don't care for religion never have to see, hear, or even think about it ever again, then go right ahead. =) </good-natured sarcasm>If I had the opportunity to interview Richard Dawkins, one question I put to him would be: "Mr. Dawkins — given your stance regarding religion and the fact that religion is responsible for much harm throughout the world and throughout history, would you be in support of an actual ban on religion? If yes, would you concur that such a ban ought to be in effect worldwide?"

Religion is the last thing humanity needs to retain as it progresses towards the future. Talk about debunking things... the major influences on peoples minds are of ancient and moronic origins. Get rid of religion and perhaps folks can get along better between the East and the West. That takes education, not bombs.

OK, granting 9/11 was not an inside job, how do you justify the illegal invasion of two countries and the subsequent death and torture of hundreds of thousands of people based on that criminal act? Now that the dubious official story claims OBL is dead we have brought justice to the crime and can now return home to live peacefully once more... right? What a joke...
-
Who are these experts that have debunked these various 9/11 conspiracy theories? Seriously, I have not seen one convincing one yet. Whereas the 9/11 conspiracy theorists and their supporters are quite convincing. If anyone has some links/references here please pass them this way. As for fake moon walking and people who claimed to have seen or been abducted by aliens... I have not seen any convincing evidence for any of that malarkey either. But that is not the issue here, the issue is that people think that because OBL is dead that the US has achieved some sort of victory. This is complete nonsense. Even as a symbolic victory it is pathetic. OBL denied his involvement for 3 years before finally suggesting that the attacks on the towers were inspired by the US destroying towers in Lebanon. This brings up Al Qaeda's ace card: Why were the towers attacked in the first place? US is an astoundingly hypocritical terrorist nation. I have seen little to suggest that the US hasn't orchestrated this mess in the first place and brought it all upon itself so that it may further its greedy economic strangling and holy wars. Meanwhile only the rich benefit while the poor get poorer because they took all of the profits and moved the jobs overseas to places where people still work for a pittance... but I digress... The blood spilled on 9/11 is not superior to the blood spilled in Iraq, or Afghanistan (or in dozens of other places). Is it? Cause everyone sure acts like it is.
-
Even if OBL is dead I still am not convinced that 9/11 wasn't an inside job. So to me it is a moot point. I never really cared about OBL. Five days after 9/11 OBL said he didn't do it, and for the next 3 years he denied being responsible. Then, in 2004 all of a sudden he said he did do it? All the while the US is blatantly using the towers destruction to run rampant for the interests of the wealthy. And investigations into the destruction of the towers and WTC building 5 which fell also, by third parties all seemed to show that controlled demolition was the cause of the buildings collapse. And the pentagon attack was a cruise missile. Show me evidence otherwise.

I have all the mods and upgrades, looking to play against a human opponent. Large or small battle, open to anything so long as we have a fun battle. Preferably would use dropbox to exchange files.
