When I was in Kuwait (May-October 2000), a pirated version of CM was available. $10. Fortunately, I didn't buy it (though I was temped) cos the pirated software everyone else bought didn't work back in the States.

US modern ability to mass produce tanks
hellfish replied to Guy w/gun's topic in Combat Mission Archive #3 (2001)
The United States has manufactured something on the order of 8000 M-1 series tanks. I think only 2000 are actually in Active and Reserve units. The remainder, minus about 750-1000 or so sold overseas (Kuwait, Saudi, Egypt), are stored at POMCUS sites in Europe, Quatar, Kuwait, Diego Garcia, Okinawa and CONUS. I don't have firm numbers, though. 8000 heavy tanks should keep the US going for a while, though. [ 04-11-2001: Message edited by: fytinghellfish ]
