  1. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Pionners over engineers? difference?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    IMHO, there is no difference, as Pionere is simply the german term to designate Engineers.

    <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>those tracked but gunless armored cars?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Gunless vehicles are still useful for recon, and generaly fast enough to have good chances of survival.

    <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Anyone dragged an AT gun around the field?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    In large scenarios or even better in operations, this can be useful to redeploy your AT capacities against your ennemy's main attack point, or in the opposite follow your troop's advance.

    LOL, sounds quite military for a hymn, isn't it ? wink.gif

    Anyway, thanks all for your comment, it's nice to see relations between us and our american fellows can be enjoyable... And that was a great Bastille day BTW. smile.gif

  4. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Could anyone recommend good book(s) on Tiger I? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    You should try "Germany's Tiger Tanks D.W. to Tiger I", by Thomas Jentz & Hilary Doyle. Quite expensive but usually seen as the reference.

    Also, you may go to this URL for an excellent site about the Tiger I and a little presentation of the book : http://tiger1e.com/

    Hope that helps smile.gif

  5. Pawbroon,

    <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>One has to consider that at the level of action simulated in CM, FFI and other such partisans are abstracted since their action (except in the Vercors mainly) was more of a strategical issue than a tactical one.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Well, that wasn't Frenchy's point ( I think ) to know whether FFI were modeled on a strategical point of view or not ( the fact it that particular issue depends only upon the scenario's designer ). He was speaking of FFI in the game, that is to say with special uniforms and in combat formations... And as Erik Rutins said, FFI were useful for harassing ennemy, of course, but were not adapted for regular army duty. That's just what I said : there's no point having special FFI units in the game.

    I might add that, if there were to be some new troops in a futur patch, I'd rather take some guys from the Legion than FFIs... smile.gif

    Frenchy,

    Glad to hear you'll try the scenario wink.gif If you can please report what you think about it smile.gif

    Regards,

    Magnus

  6. Well, as a French I would of course appreciate to see the FFIs in the game, but I'm not sure it is CM's purpose to simulate non-regular troops. Neither to I think it would be worth the effort considering the lot of things that already are on "the list"...

    Yet, if you want some scenarios about the liberation of southern France, we alredy have one on our site Appui-Feu. It's about Aubagne, which was taken back by the 3e DIA on the 21st of August. Just follow the link behind... It's in french but I'll translate the briefings as soon as possible smile.gif

    Regards,

    Magnus

  7. You may add Appui-Feu, which mainly focus on the Free French and already has 2 scenarios available. Briefings are in french though, and I can't translate them until I have the game frown.gif

    Also, we will soon propose an operation about a german counter-attack at Buron and Authie on 7 th June.

  8. You may use the "search" fonction with keywords such as "ICQ", there are several threads about this :

    A couple examples :

  9. Just upgraded to a Geforce 2 last friday... CM works perfectly with it, and game runs fast even when these Amis lay down smoke all along the map in VoT wink.gif

    Yet, it is way too expensive in my opinion, so buy it only if you are to use it at its best. Otherwise I would suggest a Geforce 1, which should prove OK for CM.

    All in all if you decide to buy a Geforce ( 1 or 2 ), take a Winfast from Leadtek. Definitely more reliable than every other card out there...

    Hope that helps...

    Magnus

    PS : I should add that every time I changed a component in my computer, I had problems with various programs, but never with CM !
