I heard the mailman coming, a thump on the porch, and I looked out to see two Priorty Mail packages. One was the post (very nice), and the other containing the manual. I got a little worried when the CD didn't fall out. Not to worry for the future owners, BTS snuck the CD inside the manual. I live in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and ordered my copy last October. I hope you all get your copies soon, it's a wonderful game. . You may now tell me im a lucky bastard. Pvt. Ryan

Private Ryan replied to a topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
I'm a little confused on what to do now that CM is actually being shipped to us. There goes my social life for the next couple of weeks... WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!! -
SS designated tanks
Private Ryan replied to Private Ryan's topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
That very same book is what inspired me to write this post. A must read! Pvt. Ryan P.S- Sorry again Charles for all the confusion, what I meant to say was, will 'SS tank units' show the proper name on the bottom. I know this will make no difference on how the actual vehicle performs. Just wondered if it will show for example: Normal- Tiger VIE late -or- S.S.-SS Tiger VIE late Thanks again, Pvt. Ryan -
A final plea before the game ships! Please read!

Same here. 100% allegiance to BTS. May the CM series, as well as BTS, flourish throughout all the land! Pvt. Ryan -
SS designated tanks
Private Ryan replied to Private Ryan's topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
Thanks. -
I did a search on this but nothing came up. Last night while I was thinking of which scenarios I should make first, a thought entered my head that never accured to me before. Since SS Panzer Grenaider(sp?) squads are different from normal Wermacht and Volkstrum troops (and should be), can tanks be shown in the unit display box (at the bottom of the screen) wether they are SS or not. Yes my own question doesn't make sense to me. In other words, if a tank is from an SS division will it be shown in its description box? Thanks for any answers, Miles

Brewing up knocked out tanks.
Private Ryan replied to TZEENCH's topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
Ok you can certainly you may brew up a knocked out tank. I've done it many times in the already worn out scenarios from the demos. Just re-target the tank again. It's actually pretty fun I'm not sure but I think KO'D tanks can be repaired if not brewed up in an operation. Dave -
Well guys this is what happened to me- *******Spoiler******* I had a Sherman 75 knock out the panther in the 'weak spot on the front turret' said the detailed armore penetration. Then the sherman suffered a hit by a Panzershreck penetrating the fron hull, but didn't get knocked out, instead suffered one casualty. A second hit did knock the brave sherman out. Another sherman firing at the Panzershreck teams (there were two teams hiding in the trees) after seeing his friend being fried reversed, fired one machinegun at one Panzershreck team and the main gun at the other team. I really do love this game! Happy gaming, Pvt. Ryan

I am also wondering about that man power problem. My screen name over there is Tiger Ace, I have already joined the 7th PD. See you on the battlefield! Pvt. Ryan

I was thinking of buying Luftwaffe Commander and Panzer Commander from SSI. What do you guys think how they should rank? If any of you guys have either one of these products, could you tell me how you like them? Thanks, Pvt. Ryan

I can't figure out how to change them without giving the same e-mail address. Anybody have hints or tips I can use to get back on their and chattin? Thanks, Pvt. Ryan Sometimes I wish I wasn't so narrow-minded

Things that seem to be wrong with Sudden Strike
Private Ryan replied to killmore's topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
I do agree that this is just a really ****y wargame. One thing that gets me upset when i lose my infantry and Koeningstiger to mines. I send infantry to dig them up, but they don't, and just get slaughtered. I'm really not interested in this game, just gettin me a little pissed i can't fix a problem to a simple game. Thanks, Pvt. Ryan -
Did Russia's strategy of bringing down large artillery barrage on german heavy armour work? Thanks, Pvt. Ryan

Just wondering- What is the max. effective range of a Pershing say against the front hull or turret of a King Tiger or even a Jagdtiger? Thanks for the input! Pvt. Ryan

CM Engine-- tweaked for individuals?
Private Ryan replied to a topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
That new game called WWIIONLINE is based upon one player equals, one soldier, tank, plane, and so forth. Sure as heck isn't as good as CM, then again no game is..... It's also a little pricy. Pvt. Ryan -
I was wondering what specificly can engineers do? Do they have special weapons? Clear minefields? I did a search but it just brought up posts that stated that engineers were in the game. Any screenshots Madmatt of engineers? Thanks, Pvt. Ryan

Hey how bout this family history
Private Ryan replied to a topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
My grandfather was a medic in the PT. I was told he served with Merril's Marauder's in Burma. He was promoted to Sergeant Major, but never accepted, rather staying with his old outfit. I now have all of his medals, bayonet, and 45. bullets. One other thing I have I think as rather haunting. He brought home a Japanese flag. It had names written around the Rising Sun, and blood splotches everywhere. The Japanese troops must've performed a Banzai charge, writing their names on this flag before they died. Pvt. Ryan -
I just have a couple of questions for the final release version. 1) Will anti-magnetic paste be incorporated with the german tanks? 2) Will the Pz Jag Tiger (P) be in the game? There were only 90 produced, but most, if not all, served in the western front. They served much earlier than CM's timeframe, but I wandared if some german unit had these. Thanks again. Pvt. Ryan

I have done a search and found the topic, but there wasn't one solid answer for this. In campaigns or operations, will the battle before the next one have an effect? i.e. will the other side be able to get more reinforcements if you lose? Also can ypu change the outcome of the war? Can you drive into London or Stalingrad, inside your King Tiger? Thanks, Pvt. Ryan
