  1. "Wains Cotting" - nice. In Norway, the Royal Commandos battled Nazi armour near Skirtingbord....
  2. Just curious: The Soviets were supplied with the bazooka via Lend-Lease...what were the circumstances behind the Commonwealth forces being stuck with the Piat?
  3. I'm personally enjoying this satirical, but nonetheless informative, series..... I intend to collect the whole set.
  4. The old ones were driving me nuts, too, benpark... Yours looks much better...thanks for your work.
  5. I recently saw (in CMAK) a PILLAR of FIRE ascending to the sky, from a "Rocky' tile.... Iffen I was religious, I'd be worried, but I think it's just a bug...
  6. Thanks, John....I'm moving house at the moment, which kinda sidelines everything else....I'm really regretting buying all those @#$%!% history books But I'll get over it...massed BT-5 attacks rule!!!
  7. And if you didn't know: Shift-X toggles whether you view all covered arcs or just the arc of the currently selected unit. Very useful.
  8. Thanks, J2D... I'll tinker with it over the next few weeks.
  9. Thanks for that...I was hoping it would be that simple Cheers, Matt
  10. Great points, Rankorian: 1. I'm finding out the hard way that this is true 2. I've not yet tried to fire down on the airfield from the hill...looking forward to it, though As well as Hill & Airfield, there is the Middle...my opponent has pushed forward here, and managed to cut supply to my forces on the Hill....[Well Done, Mr Willett, Well Done] 3. Yep, those HMG's are one of the best weaps in the game...I'm glad they're overmodeled
  11. Great work, Mark...I guess once you try them out you could upload them to CMMODS...I'm sure I've seen bigger files than 10 Mb there... I've been trolling the web, found some rather cool WW2 music (US and Japanese), but still looking... Cheers, Matt
  12. Buq-Buq: A Big Thankyou for your work.... I figure even if we have to listen to the same 86 voice files all the time, it'll still really help the atmosphere of any PTO scenarios. I'm gonna do a search on the web to see if I can find some compatable Japanese voice files from some other games... Banzai!
  13. Thanks Kingfish...I enjoyed that one. Got a total victory (+1 Exp for the AI)and took 56 POW. 4 Americans died, 13 injured. Clever use of the Lemming Migration Feature of the AI...Japanese counter-attack almost succeeded. I'd like to see more PTO scenarios. Can anyone tell me how to go about using the Japanese language wav files done for CMBO in CMAK? This would add a lot to PTO battles...
  14. The 81mm mortar has got enough range to be hidden well back....use an HQ with +2 Command and +2 Stealth, and put your mortars either in dead ground or scattered trees... The 50mm haven't got much range, but there a few good hiding places near the airfield... "Yes...you might be able to take the escarpments...but at what cost? Damaged prime squads." That's true...and the real key is the high ground overlooking the airfield...
  15. "Indeed, I think you would find it incredibly hard to take the escarpments without the "Operation Line-Push"..... Hard, but not impossible...smoke will probably be a friend I CAN hear those AA guns in my sleep...troublesome, but the Germans have mortars (both 50mm and 81mm).
  16. "It will come out when Duke Nukem does" LOL... Hope you're right... go to http://www.3drealms.com/index.html and check out the new Teaser Trailer for Duke Nukem Forever...I've waited 10 years for this!
  17. Getting back to Maleme; I would make the observation that for the sake of realism the German player must not exploit the weird setup zones that CM generates... For example, at the end of Battle #1, I had troops at the bottom of the escarpment that surrounds the airfield; the setup zones for Battle #2 would allow me to place those troops ON the airfield, without them climbing the escarpment and running the gauntlet of the Commonwealth dug-in positions. Similarly, German troops are scattered all over the map at the beginning, and for realism should not be moved back into German-held zones, even though this is possible.
  18. Baron, the 10 minutes a day I spend sending one Maleme turn is not the reason for delays in St Lo, nor is the 5 minutes I spend on this forum. I would tell you the reason, but you are the enemy. Enjoy your Christmas.
  19. I'm playing Maleme PBEM...and you're absolutely right. A classic. All hail to Los, the designer. We're just finishing Battle #2, so alert me to spoilers One of the rare CM creations to do the airborne assault in a way that feels realistic...
  20. I've just been admiring junk2drive's Italian-to-Japanese Mods for CMAK(at CMMODS). I've been interested in the Manchurian border clashes between Japan and the USSR for a while, and wanted to get to work on some CMBB battles and Ops. Naturally the Italians make great Japanese....light mortars, mountain guns, lousy tanks...but they'll look even better with Rising Sun icons and the other great stuff like leggings I know nothing about the technical constraints of modding the CM series, so forgive my question: Is there a way I can use CMAK BMP's for CMBB? Thanks, Matt
  21. Thank you, Conte- I think someone also did a Pacific War Mod for CMAK... I will go and see at CMMODS... Regards, Matt
  22. Thanks Pat, for that quick answer... I was trying to get Palm Trees AND Tungsten ammo....but you can't always get what you want I'll drop by cmmods and check out your terrains... Cheers, Matt
  23. Hello All; Been reading a great deal about the border clashes between Japan and Russia in the late 30's...some great fodder for CM here; Nomonhan, Changkufeng/Lake Khasan and more...the obvious choice to represent the Japanese and Korean forces is the Italians; has anyone done a mod for this? I'd be content with a Rising Sun icon... modding the voice files would just be... too much. Regards, Matt

Off-topic, but can anyone tell me if it is possible to have North African terrain in CMAK after July 1943? i.e is there a 'trick'? Currently working on Modern Middle East battle for CMAK..... Thanks, anyone.... Regards, Matt
  25. Philippe, you are a God! I started doing this with my CMBB scenario collection, and rapidly began needing a drink... Thanks so much for your work.
