Great to see you again Moon!!! I am intrigued by your comment as well. I have been thinking all along that CMBB was essentially new terrain and units and maybe some tweaking of the game system. But a "whole new ballgame"? I wonder what that can mean.

OK folks you have a half hour to dust off your credit cards so you can purchase me a birthday beer. I will be at O'Neals in Philadelphia with my wife and new born son and a bunch of friends. Don't be cheap you bastards drop $7 US for a good cause.http://www.onlinevenue.com/onlinestore/stellacam/stellacam_index.asp

The response from Steve is something I had heard from BTS before. It makes complete sense. So many of the basics of the game were already written for CMBO. And Andreas you are more correct than you might know. I read the BTS forum in each of it's locations for probably a year and a half before I ever posted. The reason I didn't was because my knowledge was no where close to what people were posting and because of that felt I didn't have anything to contribute until just before the beta demo came out. Due to the sucess of the game and the heavy influx of people (both VERY good things) having focused intelligent discussions about details of weapons, vehicles and troops is now untenable. Before I always thought it was a big help for BTS to have input on those issues. Now it would be a waste of their resources. Additionally I assume they are now having those same conversations in a more private forum.

The chance you have all been waiting for will be here this evening. Yes that is right..you will all be able to buy me a beer for my birthday. At 7pm EDT I, along with my wife and son, will be having pre-dinner drinks with real flesh and blood friends. You are invited to watch this event and buy me beer so I can still milk my real world friends later. http://www.onlinevenue.com/onlinestore/stellacam/stellacam_index.asp

Wankers.

On the attack I tend to move to contact and attempt to write down my enemy a bit and then provide covering fire to advance further. Alsoon the attack I try to time my advance to arrive at the VLs on the second to last turn or the last turn most of the time. This is not to be confused with a gamey flag rush (which I hve ben accused of) but a methodical advance while taking advantage of all the time I have.

I'll field ha one for you olebooya. All Peng threads let locked at some point. Otherwise they would take up too much space and piss off the normal peopl that visit this forum. When it comes time to start a new thread one is supposed to email Matt with the new thread name and receive his blesing. If others crop up before the official new home is created they must be shut down quickly lest sewage leaks out.

I had a 100-0 victory against a human in a TCP/IP game. I was on the attack and the game went about 15 turns before the computer autosurrendered him. I did nothing unusual and advanced the entire time. There was no big arty used or anything out of the ordinary. As we got to turn 8 or so I started to tell him how shocked I was that I was still at 100%. I then told him again every turn "I am still at 100%". I am not making this up. There was nothing gamey about what I purchased or how I attacked. I did use excellent tactics (if I do say so myself) and got good sight lines early that covered my advancing infantry. I guess when my infantry was close enough to really start hurtinh him he was pinned enough where he couldn't fire back. If I had known it was going to autosurrender I would have saved the game just before so that it could be viewed by curious people. I do have the final score screen shot saved (on my home PC).

Isn't that coward Lawyer supposed to be back soon?

Did someone just see a ghost or am I imagining things?

Last night I played a Berli creation against my Father via TCP/IP.....It may have been the best designed and most interesting scenario I have ever played. It was called leCamp_crossroads. GREAT game check it out if you haven't already.

Now that jdmorse has been put in his place I think it may be time to stir the pot by bringing everyone up to date on my PBEM games. Wildman was so shocked by my 14" gun (sit down bauhaus) that he i still reeling from the shock. I did just notice that I never played the last turn he sent. I am conducting a perfect assault across virtually open ground. Joanna,in our Blood Hamster, has finally gotten some troops across the bridge. However they are in such poor shape and my troops are still in great shape so I expect a surrender fromhim shortly. If he doesn't do it the AI probably will. LEON, whom I hate, is taken a bit of a beating in what is now a battle of attrition. His armor keeps getting knocked out leaving his infantry exposed to the relentless pounding of my Shemies. Lawyer was getting smacked around so bad that he had to leave the country. Lorak and I have been engaged in one of the silliest games in CM history. I haven't seen a file from him in a long time. Prhaps he has decided it is to silly to play this meeks nightmare. My only hope for this game is that it ends in a draw..neither of us deserves to lose this thing.....or win it. A final word to mensh and Berli and Germangirl. I have now played all three of your mini games and found them to be a great deal of fun. Keep up the good work.

Hmmm....just wanted to try one of these....it wasn't as much fun as I thought it would be.

Mr. jdmorse is obviously trying to deflect the fact that he lost 57-35. There were 6 VLs (3 large, 3 small) of which I controlled all but one large one. Yes he may have purchased incorrectly (I have no idea) but so did I. I purchased 4 tanks in a game so heavily covered by woods that they couldn't move anywhere and were basically useless. And another thing...He could not have had better terrain to defend. jdmorse is a coward and scoundrel....there I said it..and I won't take it back.

LORAK!!!!!!my old friend....let the record show that another has tried to best me and failed ELVIS - WIN jdmorse - loser It was an excellent assault on my part. We both purchased poorly due to the very woody terrain. I had no business buying armor and he had no busness trying to beat me.

[serious mode on] Before I get into calling you guys Wankers, it would be swell if all cesspoolers who pray and others who can provide good thoughts would say a payer or have a nice thought for Mike Raber/Hiram/Philly Phans family today because they are going through something pretty heavy. I know my thoughts are with him and hope everything turns out well. [erious mode off[ Wankers.

Berli, get some sleep.

I played 'Military Intelligence' against the AI today (something I haven't don in a very long time) and found it to be good clean fun. Loads of laughs for the kids. I have just downloaded Trun for TCP/IP play with Peng whenever he decides to show up. This idea og making small TCP/IP scenarios is a ripping good idea. I plan on keeping my eyes open for each new installment.

Have a nie trip Lawyerboy. Getting out of town just as the gettin is good in our game.

Wanker.

I'm with Jeff, mensh. I will use rune as an example. He makes some really fun and evil scenarios but most are way to big for one sitting of TCP/IP. I would LOVE a bunch of 10-15 turn scenarios. I enjoy premade ones for the same reasons Jeff mentioned. They tend to be more interesting and it's always fun to get reinforcements. If my current Blood Hamster match with Goanna is any indication of you map making then the scenarios you envision should be great.

It appears that neither LEON or myself posted my defeat to him. He conducted a flawlessly gamey attack that foiled my well planned non-gamey defense. I was forced to surrender.

The truth shall set you all free!!!!! Stop being lemmings!!!! 15mgs isn't a dent on my hard drive and isn't the point (I don't have a huge drive, 13gigs, which is plenty)
