Excellant question....I have an old "haunted tank comic" story based on an M3 Stuart.. Still my favorite tank. I don't know but I hope somebody will see this and answer.

Known to me only too well Alt G!

First and foremost the manual should be written with an eye toward the new to wargaming player. This game will attract many "gamers" who are not "War" gamers. Folks who have played lots of action games, ect. Me...total wargamer, don't know a thing about other types of games...But those who are new to wargaming may learn the fun that WW2 gaming w/all the accuracy ect can be.

Now, regarding Edmund Morris...Oh,hunh...LOL A real topic! Tell me more about getting UNstuck...I'm rather familar with the STUCK part..How many turn did it take? Did the Sherman come out on it's own or did you try a move?

Edmund Morris used the technique out of "desperation", he said. Reagan apparently was not the type of person to share his thoughts with others. Remember the guy was an actor turned politician. When the lights turned on we got the vision of a President we all really liked... substance was, IMHO, lacking. Taking Edmund Morris to task is fair game. The book was not "terrible" in my judgement. Maybe it just showed you a picture of the Gipper you didn't care to see. You comments Re: MadMatt are actually irrelavent. The thread was started after some goofy comments by our CaptM. They hurt Matt's feelings and he spoke his mind...This is a communty here...a family if you will. Not all post are great, on CM-Topic. By the way did you read Edmund Morris's TR? You might find it a bit more to you liking.

Got myself signed up...Good site...

Quality, professionalism, focus and fun...The Hallmarks of any Raider page...These same qualities are abundant in CMHQ....Matt and Fionn have done a great job...The idea a a match between the Raiders and CMHQ sound great...Love both sites...But I'm a Raider through and through!

Wish to add my very best wishes for a Merry Christmas and great New Year to all the CM/BTS folks and there families... And a special thanks to all the PBEM's I've been lucky enough to play....thanks for the great games, lessions learned...Have a Merrry Christmas All!

One or two moves a day...more on the weekends and I try to keep four games going at a time....I have suffered only minor withdrawl symptoms at that rate.

If your available and want to PBEM during the Christmas/New Year Holiday week add your name to this list

I've play several PBEM of CE (4?) I've played US each time. Three times I've slaughter the Stugs using Overwatch and 2-3 on one attacks... I guess you could say that those stugs I've been chewing on aren't worth a damn, right?. Almost finished with the fourth game...around tun 10...I evacuating my infantry (hopefully they won't all be killed) while my .50 MG (It does rock)covers them...And my 5 shermans?...Burning brightly....It's not the stugs, nor the shermans...it's not even lady luck (you do need a little in war) It's about tactics...I use the equipement the way they were used...Shermans did hunt in packs I am rewarded...I play Audie Murphy...I pay the big price....It's about my tactics...not the game engine...That's why this game is such a stand out

A question I've had about US tankers is will they loose the packs and leggings and be issued correct headgear...The German crews have cool black suits. How about we get some "tanker wear"...

I have ordered

The Gunner is right! Tell all you know, we want this game to be a really big hit.

Don't even worry about it, 'caus...The editor is all we'll ever need....!!

Remember your first car,kiss or feel? The editor...man of man, Now that's an editor!

We Americans tend to forget how ill prepared and isolationist we were in 1941. Pearl Harbor Day is more than just a tribute to those who died, but a gentle poke in the ribs lest we ever forget the huge cost so many all over the globe paid to breath free air. Today a vocal view calmor for the days of isolationism. Decenmber 7th reminds us of the cost.

Could be you've run across one of Pat Buchannan's research notes for his latest book. LOL

Wild Bill....Do you remember the SP Post on MG fire effects that were really a primer on MG use/tactics. If so could you find them. I search TGN/SP/Discussion but they go back ony to Sept... Seems like it was in the Summer when I read these

Simmon Fox: WWW.Thegamers.net/messageboards/discussions.html I have made a search and cannot find the files (the go back to Sept only). On an unrelated matter. I teased you on a post back in Oct. While I was absolutely not trying to be mean spirited, when I re-read the post later it seemed that way to me. I am sorry I wrote the "Simon Says" post. It was uncalled for and thoughtless.

No need to delay game. I appreciate you taking a straw vote and know the BTS people don't like the idea of "almost got it, but here it is" release dates. This case merits no delay.

I wonder I you were the fellow who posted on the subject of MG fire on the TGN Steel Panthers BBS. If so I'ld like to tell you thanks. I learned a great deal about MG fire and tactics. In any event, when CM does come out I hope you'll post your views. The Steel Panthers MG post raised great points regarding computer programing of MG fire.

SS-Pzldr: To answer your questions: Yes, I own a copy of CC2. Why ,yes, as you mention it it, I have arthritis. Not bad, I get along. As for your comment: "I note that you said I had some valid ideas but then you start talking about things I never said". Why you're right again. Everything I wrote had to do with what BTS has said...It's mission statement. Like you, I wish people would read the post carefully before they respond.

Kia: A tad testy tonite? My comments to SS PzLdr indicated no disrepect for the ideas presented in this thread. Other than that I stand by my comments.

Hi SS: I value what you say. I just think you're asking the wrong Company. I notice the Company's mission statement (which we all see when we log on to this discussion board)clearly states they don't wish to chase the "twitch crowd". I assume that means RT players. It seems to me that folks who are CC players want to make Combat Mission a CC game...only better. BTS says it wants to go in the direction it wants to go. BTS says it favors the few over the many. BTS Mission statement seems very clear. Atomic/SSI are the people to talk with. That company supports your views by producing RT games like you like. The ideas that have been presented ARE interesting and valid. As I'm certain we can all agree , there are many, many bright people on this discussion board. But they seem to me to addressed to the wrong forum (based on BTS mission statement). Perhaps RT players should consider Combat Mission a change of pace from their hectic schedules.
