I've been away for a while and recently put CMBO back on my HD along with a bunch of mods. I went to Battlefront.com to get the patch and I hear talk of a "special edition" CMBO. What is it? Also, I know that CMBB and CMAK generally do things better than CMBO and add more game features. Are they ever going to rework (or patch) CMBO to be like CMBB / CMAK? Thanks, Matt

Biltong, Supersulo said he could host or at least mirror it in this thread. -Matt P.S. - I have the beta, please send the final. [ November 16, 2002, 10:17 AM: Message edited by: Matt ]

So you think in BoB they are eluding to 88-itis much the same as GIs coming under fire by German tanks and calling anything they see Tigers but when Winters gets back to report what they actually took out he gets it right? If 88s were used in the indirect fire mode in real life, can we use them this way in CMBO/CMBB? -Matt

In real life were 88s ever used in an indirect fire mode? I'm asking because I recently purchased the 6 DVD volume of Band of Brothers and in episode two Winters is chosen to lead an attack on a fortified German artillery position - 4 x 88s. Then I throw in Saving Pvt Ryan and see that after they land Tom Hanks' platoon is given the very difficult task of taking out some 88's firing on the beaches in what appears to be indirect fire. Now I know these movies are for entertainment value and if left up to hollywood to get something militarily correct they'd be wrong 99% of the time but it seems there are lots of references to 88s and indirect fire. What gives? -Matt

No way Gary, there is a huge difference. Look where the barrel meets the sky and on the lower picture how crisp and clear the edges of the tank are. Beautiful!!! -Matt

My head is still spinning at that fast response. Many thanks Stryker. -Matt

I would *love* something like this. Please post where I could get this when it's ready and could you also tell me where the CMBO rule sheet can be found? TIA -Matt

I like these new versions better MrNoobie. They look great!!! -Matt

Welcome back, I loved your work. Any hints as to what you'll be modding first? -Matt

I'm interested but am confused at the same time. Why do you reference 1960 to 1980? Is that when they were released or something? -Matt

Ok, you got me hook, line & sinker. I bit hard on that one. -Matt

I say keep it simple with zips and forget the rar and ace stuff. (just my personal opinon) :cool: -Matt

Oh yah, I forgot to say: Good job and thanks for all the hard work. All the mod sluts here deserve our thanks. Matt

Mr Noobie, I have a request. Can you break out the KV-1 and the T-34s into individual zips so that I can pick and choose which tanks I want. Some might look at this as stupid but I for one don't want every T34 to look dirty. It would be nice to say, "I love Mr. Noobie's T34 M 41" and be able to just install that one veriant. TIA Matt

Madmatt, I just wanted to say thanks for looking into this. I too have seen my HQ popping up before squads when faced with and enemy at approximately the same range. I have been playing with the covered arcs more and more because of it but don't always use them because Ruskies always seem to appear just outside the arc and my troops just stare instead of fire which is a totally seperate issue. I just prefer to not use the covered arcs sometimes. -Matt
