I've got that beat, easy!

Can't wait for the various patches, even though I have to admit I'm having a great time with the game as is.....

Looks pretty cool. You certainly can't argue much with the pedigree!

This is awesome news! Can't wait to get a hold of this. Thanks, Chaos

OK, here's what is says when I run netstat -e on my base machine (Win XP) Sent Received Bytes 1204250 197012 Unicast packets 1584 1390 Non-unicast packets 82 71 Discards 0 0 Errors 0 1 Unknown protocols 2 What does this mean? Also my network runs on channel 6. I'll try changing that and see what it does. chaos

I do have ZoneAlarm installed, as well as Avast antivirus and MS Messenger, but I've disabled all of them before running CM. TCP/IP is the only protocal installed. File sharing is on, I'll try turning that off. I've tried to "host" with both machines, and large files transfer ok, although rather slowly. Thanks for the replies guys. chaos

Yes, I'm trying to play the computer on my in house network. Large files seem to transfer fine, although not that speedily (but they do transfer without hanging up/errors). chaos

According to my "ping", there are 0 packet errors. I reduced MTU to 576 (that's as low as it would go, normal setting is "auto") Cable modem connection goes into back of WRT54G Linksys router/Access point. Cable from router goes into network card on host unit. Wireless network card goes in client unit. chaos

Well, I've tried just about everything I can think of (fully updated Win 98 SE, updated firmware for "g" router, updated driver for "b" card, fiddled with MTU, etc.), and it still won't work (I did get one turn to transfer fully, but that was it), so I guess I'll just chalk it up to the vagaries of wireless. chaos

Thanks for the input, men. I'll check these things and update you tomorrow! chaos

Within my network, yes. chaos

I'm having a problem playing a game of CMAK and CMBB (both US version) over my wireless lan. I can connect from both computers with no problem, but when we get to the data transfer, it locks up every time. Sometimes the progress bar doesn't fill at all, and sometimes it goes halfway, but it never completes. I've tried hosting from both machines, reloading turns, etc, with no success. One machine is XP Serv2, the other is win 98. Any ideas? chaos

I see that Glantz has a self-published book called "Atlas of the war on the Eastern Front: 1941-1945", with 85 supposedly detailed maps. Does anyone here have this book, or know anything more about it? chaos

Troublemaker!

Damn!! I already had a trip planned for 2 AUG. I'll leave some markings for you guys!! chaos

Madmatt, Keep up the good work! cheers chaos

I just read over at combatsim.com that Atomic has laid off most of its staff. From the story: Atomic Games, the creator of the long-running Close Combat wargame series, has laid off its entire staff of full-time personnel. The company now consists of a skeleton crew that includes Keith Zabalaoui, the owner and president of Atomic, Tom Kent, the director of development, and Jeff Baker, the art director. None of the employees we contacted who were affected by the layoff have definite plans for the future at this time. Zabalaoui said that the layoffs were partially a result of the cancellation of the Hammer's Slammers project by Gores Technology Group. According to Zabalaoui, Gores exercised its right to cancel the project for "any reason or no reason at all." Zabalaoui also commented that Atomic's future is uncertain at this time.

Boxcar, B17 2 should be keeping you busy while you wait! Once you get CM, you'll never leave the house cheers chaos

I am one of the Luddites who was not very excited about the network play patch. PBEM was good enough for my forefathers, and, by God, it was good enough for me! Having played a couple of QB's this morning against the esteemable SS Panzerleader, utilizing the network patch, I can now say with great certainty that I was dumb before. I now see the light. Praise be to BTS in the highest!! cheers chaos

Well, I'm afraid that I must weigh in with the "I don't see a problem" contingent. I thought the thread was pretty interesting, and I certainly didn't see any evidence of the mythical "Jihad Brigade". As a matter of fact, CM seemed to be completely ancillary to the discussion. I think Henri is just having a bad day. chaos

Matt, You should have given the locals some warning, so that we could sell our Proctor and Gamble stock before this news causes a big tumble!! Congrats! cheers chaos

Check all your local bars and strip joints. You'll probably find some of us that way. cheers chaos

I wonder if it has something to do with the maximum depression of the Sherman's gun? In this case, perhaps the Tigers are hull down (in a sense) because the depression of the Sherman's gun only allows for a turret/top hull hit. cheers chaos

Remember, the turn results are first calculated, and then shown to you in the movie. The target was calculated as having been hit, and then some minor vagaries in the projected 3-d world made it appear as an "house penatrating round" (HPR) cheers chaos
