Why not have an abstract cost for everything in the game and then just add them together to make the costs for units... fx (not using any real cost suggestion here) 1 point per man, 2 points for .50 cal MG and 0.5 points per 5 ammo and a base cost for a vehicle based on armor and speed. so a jeep w/o mg would have a cost for just armor(nil), speed and crew. while the MG jeep would have the same price plus 1 crew, 1 .50cal and 5x5 ammo. that would work overall... i think then again i have been known to make mistakes... from time to time. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

No scenario editor mod??? *sniff-sniff* ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Ok... there have been ASL conversions and CC conversions... are we gonna see any PE conversions? they could be kinda fun to play as a quick scenario between PBEMs. They would be a bit tank heavy, but thats just fun sometimes ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Ooops... i had completely forgotten about the theme song... guess id better get started again then ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Bumpety-bump

Do the scenario editor... cos, frankly, i spend more time making scenarios than playing them *blush* ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Yeah come on Tiger! This is a cry for help here!!!!!! ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

I would actually like to see the ram... the real one, not just the kangaroo ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

One thing that would be kinda nice (and historically correct) would be the implementation of captured vehicles in german service. Like the skoda tanks and some of the french, italian and russian tanks. This could also serv as a test plaform for the future games of combat mission. but... as ive said before, what is really needed is allied anti air... didnt the allies use any older tanks in the western front by the way? or were they only using shermans, churchills and cromwell tanks? could be kinda nice to have a Lee or Grant ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof...

and we probarbly wouldnt buy the game if microsoft bought out bts... would we? (or even worse... Hasbro!!!) ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

I tried it out and it worked like a charm... my green fighter-bomber came in turn 6 battle 2 and promptly got shot down . if the weather is bad when the reinforcements are supposed to arrive will you get the fighters in the next battle instead? (if the weather is clear of course) ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

The great Madmatt replied to a topic i posted? I am honoured. I think im gonna try adding the Air support as reinforcement for battle 2 and make the first one a dawn fight as was first intended. One more question tho... Do you keep the air support for the entire operation once you get them as reinforcements or do i have to add them to every mid-day fight? Thanx for your answers... all of you... youre the greatest bunch of guys (and gals ) out there... ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Nooo... you guys anent halfbad... i use some of your mods (the ones tiger hasnt done yet ) ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Actually Air support buys you a unit (ie aircraft) that roams the sky shooting targets at will, with you having no control whatsoever over it. and although it says in the manual that it may not appear at all, it still seems strange that not ONCE did it appear in the Operations. I played them at least 5 times each. and never did it appear. I have to note tho that i didnt play for more than 2 battles as the scenario is not ment to be played against the AI and so does not work well with the ai as opponent ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

I did a search on this (ooooh!) and i found nothing that answeres my question, wich is: Does air support work in operations? I have recently done 2 Ops with air support. Not once did the air support show up. Very annoying. I have tweaked the scenarios in all the ways i can think of: starting on battle 2(mid-day), good weather, elite air-support, you name it. Never seen a plane... (not that you actually see the plane, but you get my drift.) Anyone got an answer to this? ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Seriously! ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the f**k am i gonna have to look forward to now??? my life is ruined. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Madmatt... youd better ask maximus, cause he has done one. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Tiger... why not try your hand at some of the more "obscure" (at least in the game it seems) vehicles of the vehrmacht? like the lynx, wespe/marder (those guys really need a facelift) and maby the lovely Jpz IV ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Wow! 24 posts during 8 hours sleep... that must have been a topic close to the heart of everyone. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Ive seen many threads on what vehicles should be included in an eventual vehicle patch for CM1, but alot of them asks for german super tanks or extremely rare tanks or vehicles. IMHO i think the only ones that should be upgraded are the allies. Mainly with AA vehicles as these are completely abscent. This makes the allied forces very vulnerable to air attacks. Id like yáll to give your oppinions on what should be included. And no Mega rare ultra heavy tanks please! ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Why didnt you make the tracks on the king tiger look this good? (thats the tracks on the side of the hull... not the tracks on the wheels ) ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

Your insight and clearmindednes moved me to tears man... but i have to add that i must be a munchkin since im somewhere in between... I had no real interest in ww2 history, but since i started playing the game ive become interested. And i really love the heavy hitters and mega monster tanks that are in the game... but then again so did Hitler... maby he was a VG all im saying is that you cant put everybody in two distinct groups, theres bound to be some that dont fitt either. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

By the way... how about not putting all the old files in every new version... it would save us poor old modem users a lot of cash. ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.

I once said i didnt like these sounds... must have been when i was in the funnyfarm. Keep up the good work (maby some more tank sounds??? ) ------------------ Wof, wof, wof, wof... Thats my other dog imitation.
