I care. I want TCP!!! I need TCP !!!

Got it Wednesday - yesterday in San Diego. Ordered end of May 2000

Capt. Manieri - Just travel to germany and ask some skin heads for their opinion. I am sure they will explain their views in detail. (I am not saying that all/most germans have same view as skinheads - I am just having fun as CaptManieri expense) [This message has been edited by killmore (edited 06-21-2000).]

Well - I let random scenario to select everything for me 10 times (but asked for Armor battle). I always selected Wermacht. I did not expect king tiger - but I expected that Wermacht might get something as good as Panter at least once. That never happens! I think Panters should be as common as panzerIV by the end of the war. I got many pIVs but never a Panter. It just feels wrong. No heavier tanks - not even once.

I generated 10 random scenarios yesterday. Both Axis and Allies were supposed to have mostly Tanks. I selected 1000 point scenarios. But German side never got a single expensive tank (no panter, tiger, kTiger, jagdTiger or anything that heavy) I it just my luck or random scenarios never get these? (Scenarios were still exciting! like 2 shermans + 5 armored cars vs hercer,2*75 gun, and 75mm half truck)

Yes - I am sure Russia or BieloRussia is much cheaper. I would just be afraid to go there. Besides with all of the bribes you gotta pay and all of the security you need to hire it would be cheaper to go somewhere else. And how do you know security you hire will not rob you? There are over 150 shootings in Moscow airport a year... So unless you are sure you it is cheaper and safe go somewhere else. It is worth paying more for personal safety and peace of mind. (I speak russian really well and I lived there when I was 7 years old) The T34s in Poland was spotted by my close family who still lives there. And Poland is much safer then Russia. (The best way not to have your expensive car stolen in Poland is to have Russian/Ukrainian licence plates - no thief will touch it)

While I believe that CM should get Gold - after reading review it does not strike me as a GOLD game. Reviewers complain about just too many things. And some people might just get turned off by that review. BTS should take their comments to heart. Still CM-less in San Diego. [This message has been edited by killmore (edited 06-20-2000).]

I would like to thank BTS for making a game where German tanks are as powerfull as they should be. THANK YOU. KEEP IT UP with CM2-Eastfront.

Same here - no response!

Here is what I know. They have 3 tanks. 76, 85 and one that was redone for film purposes to look like german tank (has skirt armour?). Tanks were used for film purposes during the communist times. With failure of communism tanks were abandoned. The price is just under $10000 US. I have no idea (yet) what shape they are in. I am supposed to get pictures this week. Also I am not sure whether they run on not. I am seriously considering getting one but until I know exactly what shape they are in I am not buying one. I will let you know about them more as soon as I get any info.

I feel sorry for this old tank in the junk yard in Poland. They got more than one. Anyone else interested in preserving the history? Someone on this board might be interested.

No show in San Diego! (Mira mesa area) I ordered it this May

I also won CE at GE +150% for AI. Ai has some problems. Human wave attack did not work on me.

By the way the crew did not panic. It was mostly dead. And pillbox was on fire!

I would assume that at least a hole that the shell left would be closer to pillbox. But it is not. There was no "Hit-penetrated" message so pillbox was definitly not hit.

Sherman 105 fires at my 75 pillbox and hits a slope in front of it. It is a miss of 10 meters. But at the point when 105 shell hits the ground my pillbox exploded and is on fire. (I got pictures to prove it - even 10 meter distance, I measured it with another teams "distance to target") Is this a bug? Did the shell actually hit the pillbox but it was not displayed correctly? There was no "Hit - penetration" message. This might be a cool feature I don't know about and just plain bud luck? It feels impropable that pillbox would explode... (Please no flame wars this time)

Just to state my point of view on CC. I liked CC3 a lot. I have respect for CC2. These games are not a RST clickfest I like RealRed patch even if AT rifles are still somewhat underpowered.

I wonder how much it would annoy my wife if I sent MantaRay story to her.

At least they are going out. Those early birds are causing the problem? They are spoiling our fun... Well I gave up on playing on the weekend already... [This message has been edited by killmore (edited 06-15-2000).]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Germanboy: Although I think if someone came here announcing a new CC demo, there would be at least some raised eyebrows. Also, it looks as if there were only three posters exploring the gutter, from below. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I only did it because people were talking about other 3D war games. I did not start the 3D topic.

"Red Dawn" feels like a copy of Soviet partizan movies. I have seen tons of those when I was a kid.

All I said was: "Combat Mission is out - Real WWII 3D game!" (Because they were talking about other 3D games - shogun, etc) Link: http://closecombat.thegamers.net/forums/ I am so much happier on this forum...

People were mentioning new 3D wargames (like shogun). I just mentioned Combat mission. And people went after me with vengeance. How did they got this inferiority complex? Why would they compare CM with Rainbow6?

Everyone will ask now: But is my on the way? Any pictures of first shipment? [This message has been edited by killmore (edited 06-14-2000).]

It is one of a kind great game. I already bought it and I will play it for months to come. But I have my own reservations. Some of these are due to insufficient CPU speed - I understand that. I would like to see: 1) simultanious turns - no need to wait for other guy (Am I wrong about this? I have not played PBMs) 2) Option to play in real time. (Or do turns if you like) 3) "Move toward the target until you are hulldown" button 4) "Real trees" and their positions. Not just "woods"... 5) No LOS through vehicles. 6) No "my shot went right through sherman and killed one on the other side". 7) Better Strategic AI that can flank your forces (just try CE +150% for GE AI) (AI is still great) 8) Multistory buildings. Maybe ability to be on the roof. 9) Every infantry man by himself. Not a group of men. More like Close combat.
