Kiwi is right. Even some GMs don't have the game yet I think a first schedule to CMMC could be posted around end of July. Then, the players must receive their assignement and play with this forces a month or so to get used to his command. Then their must learn the Rules and Procedures for Staff Positions... Actually, the rules are being done at good pace. If you don't signed yet, e-mail Fionn and you could be best informed through the CMMC Mail List. Ariel

I'm not impliyng nothing with it... The only I'm saying is that before the WWII a lot of Jews want to reach Palestine, and the English want to impede it. They used the former concentration camps as lodgement for those Jews, who in their majority were dying previously right here. They even make another one in Chipre, with even worse salubrity conditions as being in a tropical zone. All the stuff explode in the Government face when a ship full of starved and battered Jews was deviate to a Spanish port or Gibraltar (the same thing in my book ) were some journalists pick the story. This happens circa 1947/8, when the English in Palestine were being heavily harassed by Jew and Arab Freedom Fighters The only I'm trying to said is that every one has his own prejudices, and no country is free from aberrant acts... And the British Empire is paramount in it. I know all this ugly stuff because, as Argentinian, I'm biased against the British Empire, which enforces my premise. Ariel

Madmatt is referring to "Animal Comfort". Aardvark Studios, the Nick Park's enterprise, had some others short films with the same techniques, all good. They have a site which link I don't have right now. Ariel [This message has been edited by argie (edited 06-25-2000).] [This message has been edited by argie (edited 06-25-2000).]

Stop right before. The closest to the wall, the better the cover. Don't put your men on the wall, unless you want to draw fire Ariel

Sorry, Rich. Do you know that after WWII the English uses the German concentration camps to "lodge" the Jews which were recently liberated, only to avoid them reach Palestine?... They even do a nice new camp in Chipre to erradicate the ones that already reach Palestine... Well, as argentinian, I could be a bit biased against England, but facts are facts. OTOH, I can't wait to have some Crocodiles in my little hands to toast some Nazis... Nobody is free from prejudice... Ariel

Archangel, you can't use "liberated" guys as combat forces again. They are Unarmed... The best thing to do with them is take them out from battle. Ariel

This is the most interesting thread I see in a long time. Good job, Bullethead! Ariel

The Argentina's people is smart enough (at least the most) to differentiate between people and government. We are made from a mix of cultures and almost lacks our own culture as well , so, nobody feels hate face to face. The mob is another thing. As in every country in the world, when too much people joins and the hard feelings are exposed, is better not being a yankee, or british, or (put your favorite here) As in other countries, if you are polite and interested, the people treats you in a fine way.

All this issues could be simulated using the HQs bonuses as already exists... In the time frame covered by CM, the British troops are all Regular to Elite, but the Officers lacks initiative in relation with USA or German officers. So, make the HQs units Greens and without Bonuses to simulate this... OTOH, USA could be simulated with Green troops and Green HQs, but having good HQ bonuses. Same procedure could be applied to every case in which you feels the standard setup is wrong... Ariel

Sten, Bullethead is talking about a quick battle, I think. Bullethead, what about smoking your path? Ariel

I understand the John's post at first reading (maybe because I'm not english speaker and usually do a lot of misspelling ), but I disagree. I think the way the FOW is implemented simulates exactly the Intel the tactical unit CO have at end of battle. The type and composition of the force facing him only could be guesstimated through a high level Intel unit... That is, seeing what happens at the light of player's knowlodgement... Ariel

Maximus, what means "Blitkrieg" You know, you asked for it Ariel

Harold, the Cascavel (EE-9, IIRC), was Brazilian made, not French... Ariel

What 1. directive? Resistance is futile? Ariel

GhostOne, that feature means that the SQUAD MG or AT weapon could be remanned, that is BAR, LMGs or Panzerfaust in the Squad. That is represented as a probability to maintain the weapon in the squad if the gunner is killed. Nothing in common with the asked feature of remanning CREWED Weapons, as Mortars, Guns and the like. Congratulations. Ariel

I used to copy the data in Word and save it as Text without format and it works fine in my Mac. Be sure you are copying all the data in between the heading and the bottom line (both included). Ariel

Doug, the thing happens in the same PLAY of the file. I played it a few times, and suddenly, in one play the building stands... When I tried later with the same file, the building still stands... Then I received the file again from James, and the building collapses... Ariel

Try again with Fionn. He receives a lot of e-mails, so he could lost yours. Ariel

La la la la la lalala la la lala

Lee, I'll wait until Steve ask me for it. i don't want to bother him with something maybe is already fixed. Ariel

Well, when I send the turn to my opponent, the house was still here... Then we decided to play with the first result (i.e. the building collapsing), so he sent me again the former turn... This time I don't replayed the movie and the building collapses and everybody is happy now (except maybe 14 digital widows). Ariel

Right to the top Ariel in the search of the Captain Manieri Award

Thanks, James. That explains a lot... But seems like those little germans gonna be the ones dealing with making tools from rocks. I don't have B-52s, but the 05s are OK. Ariel
