  1. RE: "Outlier" and it's actual impact on the game.

    All my PBEM's are "outlier" Fought to the last man, bullet, vehicle, Victory Objective. Obviously this is not historical reality EXCEPT for "Outlier" battles (The Alamo). So doesn't this become the conundrum for the game designer. As a Gamer I say "whadya mean I can't pull out one crew for another?" No amount of excellent argument regarding "simulation" or historical "accuracy" matters much to me because I am, obviously, an "Outlier".

    So here's my counter-intuitive pitch for Player (not AI) crew swap.

    If it is NOT too difficult and time consuming to code than this feature should be put on the short list. It will have a very positive impact on H2H games and, like all "Options" does not need to be used by those who see it as a-historic. It would not be used by the AI in complete deference to history and to simulation accuracy. In other words an option to please the great un-washed... or at least, Me ;)

  2. All I see is 3-4 round bursts per soldier regardless of weapon system until ammo runs out. SAW and the M4 seem the same to me......Also I'm not talking about theoretical ROF, but ROF in actual practice.

    Interesting question. What is field experience, what do Grogs say?

  3. I have posted on this several times so you can search using my name to find specific info on this. Briefly: It's not the maps and the problem you exhibit is most likely a hardware/software conflict.

    That it has happened to a small group of players and has been 100% failure down to occasionally happening has no doubt made it tricky to pin-point (not my province). I can assure you BFC is very aware of the problem. Cold Comfort, I know.

  4. I'd like to see Bad Moon Rising with a much bigger map. It would be interesting to see how the T-90 and M1A1 fare against each other at even greater ranges.

    I'm Gonna Go ahead and do that. I'll also be making a force adjustment our two. It'll be designed with more of an eye to H2H than the game release version. I'm going to try to make it Huge but playable on most PC's.

  5. Sur vey: Most likely you have been sent the wrong file. Here's what I do: name the turn Whoever Vs Mark 001. Now I know that the file "whoever" sends me will be file 002 and will always be an even number ;)

    While the PBEM system may feel odd to begin with it DOES work. Please give it another try. I'd be glad to help you get on track. So if you want to send me your email address I'll send you a setup and help get you started. Use the email address in my forum profile.

    CM PBEM is just the best way to WarGame. I still play guys I started with 10 years ago. So please give it another try.
