I look at this message board every damn day and for the last week every 10 minutes...I go away for a few hours to have a beverage of my choice (or 5) and come back to find out I could have been downloading and playing the demo!!!!! (or celebrating Rods birthday). Those are hours I can't get back!!!you guys owe me..you owe me big!!!
(thank you so much gods of bts please do not rain down fire upon me for my insolence)

I assumed there would be a timer. With the SP3 game our timer is at 5 min per person. I guess the question is more about how time consuming it is to plot all your units. I understand from other posts that the interface is very easy to use but that doesn't necessarily mean you can plot all your units quickly.

As Mike said in a different thread I have been a lurker for a very LLOOONNNGG time because I have been satisfied to read the posts from people much more knowledgable and wiser than myself. I do have a question that even an idiot can ask. My wargaming history is primarily with ASL and in more recent times with the Steel Panther games. I no have problem investing large amounts of time (I need to get a life) in playing a game. How long should one expect to play a tcp/ip game? My buddy and I played a 30 turn SP3 the other night that took over 7 hours to play. The AAR game was to be 60 minutes (turns). Assuming pretty fast computers, good connection speeds and an average amount of time watching the turns play out (and saying "WOW that looks so cool" while you're watching) is a 60 minute game going to take an entire weekend and 2 cases of beer to play? I figure it should be somewhat faster than igo/ugo because both players will be plotting at the same time so that cuts down on the time spent watching while the other player does his turn.
Thanks
(P.S I hope Simonfox isn't disappointed with me because I didn't beg for the demo)

I recently purchased a p3 500mhz(primarily so I would have a sweetsystem for CM. And the software point was my main reason for not going with a MAC. The best comparision I can think of is the the old "beta" vs "VHS" video war. Everyone said beta was better but the VHS was so much more widely used that the VHS format wiped them of the face of the soon to be playing CM demo world......did I say soon...where did I ever get that idea..(must have made it up)

Now that I put my 1st post reply up yesterday you may not be able to shut me up now...here is a question I would love if bts could answer for me..I plan on purchasing a new PC within the next week (this purchase IS somewhat because of CM). I can chose any video card I want but don't know enough about them..What card should I get that will work best with this? (judging from the other posts I may not be the only one wondering
Thanks

I also have been a lurker since WWWAAAAYYYY back. I check in several times a week to see whats going on. I was a huge ASL fan but feel that most people putting up posts are far more knowlegable than me and have been getting all my questions answered for my lazy lurking butt. And of course many questions I never thought of.....you're better off with me in the background...trust me on this

I have the answer!!!!!!!

After having read through too many of the "just a spectator" posts ( I can't read anymore I'm so shagged out from playing CM all night and it was really making me tired reading all that)I have thought the best thing to do was to start a new thread with a solution that may set all of this straight. I'm thinking post more scenarios (maybe 50 or so :-}). It'll keep folks from whining about what I have found to be THE computer WW2 sim I've always wanted.
Another reason for wanting a couple extra scenarios is that I have played all four combinations and won three of them. I know for a fact I am not the sharpest pencil in the box and would like to get smacked around a few times to put me back in my place.
