  1. I thought or read that the stug crews used a grey uniform.
  2. Wanted to post a response about running with a AT gun, I myself was trained in arty in new mexico and texas, first thing I ever fired,live wise was an old 75mm pack howitzer, I would suspect that the medium AT guns weren't much different than that gun, and with a crew of 5, we could get it running pretty fast in the grass, but then you read about the same gun being pushed inch by inch on iwo jima, all about terrain, as for the rubble picture, we could get that 75mm to literally bounced over rocks if we had a running start.
  3. What are the various outcomes to a mission? i've seen couple but will there be ones like "failed to make contact with the enemy" like if a mission is to scout a screen, and its realistic and all but there are just no enemy. Is this gonna happen? can you tell us what kinds of missions there are gonna be?
  4. Ok lets say in the final version on a map i get 1 tiger one mark IV and 2 stugs, and I treat that tiger and mark IV (long barrel) like precious treats, I loose the stugs, but either have to retreat or win, whichever, do I get back the tiger and Mark IV on the next scenario?
  5. Hey all I think i remember them saying the full game will be out hopefully before x-mas, so even though an updated demo would be cool, to hell with them workin on a demo, finish the game!
  6. NO! previously they said before christmas! I want to have some game to play in case the roads all blow up at new years hopefully maybe to comemorate pearl harbor they'll release the game? hint hint!
  7. haven't seen a weak spot, text, but did have a zook hit a tiger at 125yrds and hit "lower left side" which was the tread, funny thing is, why the crew abandoned, if the tank became immobile fine, but in my opinion it was still operational.
  8. Well i have no large story to tell, but I've played that mission on allied side couple times, Problem is the stug was probably waiting there for your shermans, so it was ready for you while your guys prob came very close but still appeared one after another, anbd had to stop, then aim fire, then check your fire. But also i've seen if the germans don't take this type of strategy, the 3 stugs, which take longer to aim than shermans, are swiss cheese.
  9. 2 part question. 1st: when you are starting a mission do you get to choose what type of units you want or is it more of a assigned thing by your superiors? 2nd: If you have troops that are like elite or veteran or whatever, or lets say a veteran Panzer IV, if he survives by either withdrawing or winning a battle do you get him next mission?
  10. Hey steve just to let you know the outcome, when it locked up when I pushed done, it did make a pbem file, but was just locked up, so go figure but it workedout
  11. The last good war? Now come on, Korea had tank battles, and conventional tactics.
  12. Was reading whats his names post about a stug targeting a sherman then deciding to target the infantry 400m away, And I've had a similar occurance but like this. In chance encounter, I have a stug behind a small ridgeline, waiting in prey, lumbering sherman starts comming over the hill, but at the same time a platoon like 300m to the left comes into view too, the tank targets first the platoon shoots some MG rounds at it, then starts to target the sherman, by this time the sherman has seen the stug and has already aimed. What I think would be a great addition is if you could have a "target type" button, Like you use it and click on a platoon and that unit will only target infantry, or a tank you click on a tank and it'll only target armored targets. Also if that doesn't work maybe a target only button, like the stug knew from radio contact that the sherman was almost on him, you should be able to click target only on the sherman even if it is out of site and the stug won't target anything but that particular sherman when he sees him. I mean from 50m away the stug should be able to get a good guess that the sherman is about to come over the ridge just from the noise. Thnx, btw don't take any of this as critisism I think the game rocks.
  13. Ok its a PBEM game last defense, i'm the americans just got my opponents turn 4 movie when the movie ends and the little "done" appears, when i click done it locks up. Any ideas? The game has not ever locked up previous to this for me. and i've played all the scenarios on both sides, muliple times.
  14. I'm good for all scenarios either side, skill prob like 5 or 6. icq 19188925 zlmajors@uswest.net
  15. Just wanted to discuss the irony of the new scenario, tried it the first time with the germans, at the startup I had so many troops I thought "damn i'll crush em!" but then as soon as those damn shermans came crashing in hehe there goes my stugs got 3 shermans left 2. If this is towards the end of the war, with this many troops and tanks in this battle, I can't wait to see the other scenario's when Axis has better troops and tanks BTW will you be able to pick out what tanks you want before a battle, i.e. like the point system of (the dreaded and dispised) CC? P.S. wanted to relate this to ya, 2 years ago i was playing a table top stragy minature game with some friends of the russians vs germans, we'd spend hours molding the sand to conteour the land, and more time setting up our tanks and troops before hand, I remember we saying how someone should come out with a game like this. CM is the closest thing to it that i've seen and I can't think of anything wrong with the game so far, way to go!
  16. HOT DAMN! not only is it a good scenario but in my opinion a hard one too! Really does show that you guys are the makers of the game, that you'd take the time to add a new scenario just to give some candy to your followers. I'll be pre-ordering this one for sure.
  17. Anyone here want to play by email? or can you direct me to where to find the listing of the emails for people taht want to?
  18. Truly amazing game, for a long time now i've been a avid table top wargame player, my friends and I have spent hours setting up the countryside for one battle. This game has everything I could want in a wargame, and the point of view is remanisant of Myth but put into the genre of "saving private ryan" kudos to the developers of this game, I hope that you guys have a good ad dept so more people will know about this game, which in my humble opinion is a huge leap for this type of game. 2nd thing is, when is the release date?!? I've already played both scenarios at least 3 or 4 times each and just drooling for the final version, so come on when is it?
