  1. I've been looking for something like this...thanks for the post!
  2. Hobby nothing If BFC Folds, some of us will have to go out and find a new LIFE </font>
  3. I'm a Red. I was a US player in CMBO, and early Russian player in CMBB, and Italian or US player in CMAK. I like the idea of bringing a knife to a gun fight, I guess. CM:SF offers some great equipment choices for the Red player...Learning to use them properly is the key. An example is this tidbit I learned recently: The T72 M1V Turms infrared optics is controlled from one position only...US has dual optics control...two set of eyes, not one! To help level the playing field I now run all my red vehicles unbuttoned. It gives me a better chance to get the drop on those blue meanies. I don't expect to win. I hope to degrade the enemy forces. When I do that, I'm one happy Red.
  4. I always check out these threads. Admit it: so do YOU
  5. Welcome to the Forum! Thanks for your service. Many non-military types (like myself) will be more than a little interested in your first hand experience with Strykers.
  6. I always wanted a Pacific War CMx1 but when I started fiddling with it in CMAK it lost all it's appeal...
  7. My Opinion: No, not really. two reasons: 1. Helicopter war 2. Jungle War Neither of these will translate well in CM.
  8. You have an interesting point and nice way of presenting it
  9. Really great...I'm the kind of player that wants both desert and Green. One of the things I did in CMx1 was to "pink" out the dust clouds for ETO. Is that still possible for CMx2?
  10. Yes...There is definitely a more intimate relationship with these pixelman than CMx1...and that was tough enough...sniff, sniff (eyes are watering...must be allergies...oh hell...sob)
  11. Stylish post Duke! I think it's a great game that's gonna get greater
  12. It's like a late Christmas present! Can't wait to rip into it.
  13. Thanks for AAR of Chance Encounter. It's a tough fight...and with 5 different plans per side lot's of replays. Your English is fine...certainly better than my German
  14. Congrats!...Riesberg Blue forces are very powerful and should do the job. It's true that the AI can fight you pretty tough and depending on the plan coupled with a bit of luck, hand the Blues a stunning upset. But generally the player will come out on top. I tend to play the Red side and know just how much that luck plays for the besieged Red troops...
  15. Hi Rolls: Please keep in mind LD placement is true to the original setup. To do it differently would have run counter to the design premise.
  16. Glad you like it. The "look and feel" was what I was shooting for. Just a guess: Sounds like those troops had no weapons to engage an M1 Abrams with and were pinned or panicked. Did you happen to notice the status of the sqds? Have a great Christmas!
  17. Remember: All three titles have 5 different plans for BOTH sides...
  18. Big Poppa: The scen is based closely on the CMBO scen.... **************Spoiler************************** ****************Spoiler answer****************** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * You caught the reserves coming in around turn ten (flex time) Most likely pinned.

  19. Hey Seabee: KC's an old home town Moved there in 1966...left in 1979. Actually I'm a Native Californian...a Hollywood Boy...Now I live in the High Desert.... Freezing but bright and clear...I've dl'd your scenarios and plan to play them over Christmas.
