Ok I can see the part about pigs but fake surrender is very "inappropriate". Germans did the same "surrenders" in Stalingrad.

They did mentioned her name and dates. By the way I am very strongly against any crimes against any nation/religion etc...

I heard on history channel that hitler was in love with jewish women who refused to merry him because he was not jewish. Is that true? Do you think that could have caused his insane hate of anything jewish?

For example I want the unit commander to be called "Chodnicki" to amaze my friend. I know that name is already added to the list of names to be used by CM.

BTS-Steve - no need to get frustrated! I would love to have CM just as it is in demo. Just think of all this discussion as input for CM-X. You guys created something unique. At certain point you will want to change the engine I am sure. Thats when RT option is worth considering. Seem like you could sell more games with it since quite a few people keep wondering about it. DO NOT rewrite game engine right now please! I want to buy CM before I have kids! (That would eat up rest of my free time) And your reply was very professional! Phoenix: If CM was RTS right now, I would never play it. This is an OPTION no one tries to take turns away from you. You also seem to have bad opinion about BTS - I am sure they could make the CM-X with RT option work fine! I do not believe that if RT was just an OPTION in CM you would refuse to play it. And by the way USA debt should be paid off ASAP.

I wonder why you guys blame me for starting the topic? I did not! I just added my 2 cents. And for some reason these 2 cents really hurt a lot of people. I really don't see why some people got so defensive. I am not asking you to shut up - am I? So why are you being rude? This is discussion - remember that. You also seem to think I have DEMANDS. I don't. I am not asking for BTS to redo anything. But it is worth noting that there is a lot of interest about RT. "Realize that, in CM, you are filling the following positions (for a largish battle) - 1. Battalion commander. 2. ~3 Company commanders. 3. Platoon/team level commanders, say about 6 of them active at any given time." Basically a lot of people seem to want to see everything, be everywhere and be every commander on the field. And even better if they could be every soldier. Thats natural if you are moving from table-top games and like that style of play. Nothing wrong with that. I dislike micromanaging everything - thats my personal preference. I agree that AI is not good enough to do micromanagement. But you know what? CM's AI is quite reasonable! In reply to: "Does this mean that making a future version of CM an RTS would require giving up everything Steve and Charles have been trying to do, and everything most of us are here for? YES." NO! I disagree. You take this personally don't you? There is no reason to abandom turn based CM if some people want to play Realtime. Both modes are possible and I am NOT demanding anything. (See X-com apocalipse). Have you read my previous post? I said "OPTION" ! I can see BTS not wanting to provide the RT option. That would require code changes. But why would you not want me to play RT against AI? Keep your/my options open. And setup should not be RT! Besides that I think taxes should be lowered.

Couple of comments: 0) I do not want BTS to make CM1 realtime. 1) Sooner rather than later hardware will be fast enought to make CM-X realtime. 2) Can game degenerate into point and click if it is RT - maybe. I guess that why I slow down games like TA. I want to be able to react to the situation and assign targets. In real life you can't do that. But then again units in real life have brain of their own. I wonder if most people simply want to move from table-top games to computer. They are used to that style of play. Both side give commands, then there is resolution phase... 3) We can't handle games over 30 minuts not because of short attention span but rather because we got only max of 1 hour per day to play. (We have got other things to do). And comming back into the game next day or later after a full day of writing code is not easy. And BTS - let me repeat again: I am not asking you to make CM1 real time. But please keep it as an OPTION for CM-X.

I don't care much about improved graphics but I do care about realtime and simulation accuracy. For example: 88 shoots at sherman. But before the missile get to that sherman another sherman blocks the missile path. The round goes directly through the the blocking sherman (without any damage). CM does not check for these situations. I would love to use some CPU power for that. Besides it looks like by the time the game will be finally released we will all have P-II 400 at least. (BTS - Please prove me wrong!). As for cutting off 50% of players if minimum system spec is P-II 400... Well history shows that most of these players upgrade to whatever is needed if they really want to play the game. My friends complained that the game simply takes too long at times. They would love to have max of 30 minuts per games. And real time so there is no waiting for the opponent to finish his turn. I guess we want CC type game play with super realistic penetrations and unit specs... That might not be possible until P-III-800....

I want real time. Stop complaining about decreasing amount of phisics ect if real time becomes reality. Just say that you need P-II 400 minimum.

I would name the mouse the lion.

I guess I could exchange email files between two machines. But if I cannot run without the CD then multiplayer will be useless to me. (I am too impatient to email). I would love to play with firends at my house!

Looking over the Steve's comments I noticed that he mention that they will try to do multiplayer spawning last. He also mentioned they have not started working on it. I estimate multiplayer spawning to take at least a week to implement and couple of days to test. So my comment is: There will be no release for at least two more weeks

By the way I think P in fighter designation stands for "Pursuit"

P-38 was a good ground attack plane. But don't call it a good fighter. (In europe)

Thanks BTS! Search is only good if I get less then 20 hits...

I have 2 networked computers. I would love to be able to play with my friend without purchasing 2 CM CD's. Please make it possible!

THANKS

What does AFV mean?

Guys it was simply another OSCAR movie. And most of these are only loved by critics!

30. My wife does not mind.

14) Fighter-bomber gets shot down, pilot bails out. Then pilot runs toward the AA gun that shot his plane down and kills them AA gun crew with bare hands. Then pilot is killed by his own wingman who mistakes him for Volksturms [This message has been edited by killmore (edited 01-13-2000).]

Here is a couple of things we should not expect from CM. Feel free to add: 0) "Rear lower armor hit - Exhaust pipe penetration" message 1) Armor power-ups in the scattered trees. 2) Extra life hidden in secret location. 3) Bicycle Infantry (Well maybe?) 4) Those cute Dancing Pathers (Tanks rotating in place - CC) 5) Infantry water-skiing behind boats. 6) Smell of Napalm 7) Fionn saying that something is NOT realistic in CM 8) BGF wiping out all units in sight 9) Mortar round lands between 3 tanks and damages every one of them. Oh, sorry - that does happen. 10) Unit of hippis with flowers taking out JagdTiger. 11) On turn 12 Energizer Bunny runs accross the field. 12) Between operations your units suffer realistic casualties due to STDs. (In WWI these casualties were very large!) 13) Some of your troops suddenly disangage, break through enemy lines and attack a bank behind the enemy lines.

I believe russians were getting 100 grams of vodka before attack and 250grams if attack was expected to be very bloody.

The only reason I know about communist General Swierczewski killed in 1947 is because in elementary school we had to read a book about him and discuss it.
