Thanks. I do like the winter setting.

Just not seeing them. Here is the results of a search for screens for CM:FI https://www.google.com/search?q=Combat+Mission:+Fortress+Italy&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=nF30UuybK-jgyQGlroCoDw&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAg&biw=1760&bih=831

Does this engine support winter maps? I own CM:N but I never devoted much time to it. It seems that I don't really recall seeing any winter maps screens. Another similar product handles them very well and I assume they are a must for the East Front.

Sadly she went with the hair. Wow, I can't believe it's been nearly 15 years. A toast to the guys that changed Wargaming forever.

A little late but my suggestions would be Comrade Mission Combat Mission: Rokossovsky Unchained or maybe Combat Mission: Beyond Uranus Best of luck with the release.

Excuse the bad screenshot but here you go. My sherm fired at a mg position when Hans took a 75mm round right through the chest. No word yet of his recovery.

Absolutely awesome. So good I am having a hard time forcing myself to play another vaguely similar game that was released and purchased today, a good game in its own right. It's like being out to dinner and ordering the special, a very decent plate of country fried steak. Meanwhile the wife is enjoying a 10oz. Fillet Mignon. So I take a bite of hers. And another. I just can't stop wanting another bite yet I know if I continue I'll never go back to the deep fried gravy goodness. O.K., just one more bite. Maybe I'll just save mine for a take home sack. At least I'll not go hungry. Did I mention great steak...er..demo. My compliments to the chef. von shrad

Wow. I didn't know they both batted for the same team. Well I knew Rosie did but Joan Jett? Talk about your strange mascot's!? What was it, a flannel clad Iceroad trucker gal?

I remember this same thread from '99. My answer then was a youngish 29 and already thinking myself old. Such a fool. BTW, do I get a senior citizens discount?

Ah, it was just a post. All of it doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Welcome back as I have just recently returned also. Maybe we should strike up a game once we get it? Take care friend.

OK dodger....way to be a buzzkill. May I suggest surgery to remove that stick from your arse? Nice first post.

I think Mr. Emrys is quite right. It seems with this release counting the many old timers who've wanted a return to the theater coupled with all of the CMSF fans excited about a 'new' experience with an engine already close to them that it will in fact result in a demand 'unprecedented in BFC's experience'. I also believe they have indeed connected the dots and it spelled out SUCCESS. The anticipation here is very high. von shrad

Welcome back from someone just back. So sorry for your loss.

Thanks Steve. It's good to be back. Oddly enough I have just become a grandpa at the ripe old age of 41. My son-in-law was and is in Afghanistan so he couldn't even be there for his son's birth. Dang...41. Where does the time go? BTW,CMN looks great. I can hardly wait.

Who ya callin old sonnie? In my day we'd gather our wooden nickles for a Combat Mission:Beyond Overlord winner take all. Heck we'd even play while listening to the phonograph sippin our sassafras cola. We'd send our troops to the VP's and back, uphill both ways. Those were the days. I want to watch Matlock

Ah, this thread rekindled thoughts of the Not-So-Superbowl, one of, if not the first, tourneys in CM. It was a very basic round robin consisting of the worst of the worst CM players. Man, that was some great fun. If I recall correctly, stuka won the first such competition no doubt laying the foundation for all of his ill behavior on these here forums. I take full responsibility. That was nearly 11 years ago and looking back at my posts I can barely recognize the young poster that was me. Oh, how things change. BTW, CMN looks great and I look forward to my return to the system. It has been a long time comin'. von shrad

More like shallow muddy lakes, corn fields and no hills. I lived in Clinton County for 30 days. My plan is to never return. Of course that is not really southern Illinois, more like East-East St. Louis.

Can't ask. Can't tell. Did you say you are curious? Hmmm. Thinking of enlisting and looking for a unit?

Oh, settle down GDog. I'm sure your little third world country is neat-o. The way they have contributed ________ (insert some garbage akin to techno here) has made the world a better place. With all it's faults, I too believe the U.S. to be the only place in the world I want to live. The jealousy you feel is normal, assmonkey. Boom$lang, commence to loving your country. vs

Stuka I have updated my email. Fire away Honda-boy.

There might just be some hope for Boom$lang yet. Very funny. The second picture looks like a guy I used to work with and the third is definitely an assmonkey if I ever did see one. That must really be uncomfortable. Poor assmonkey. vs

Sorry to hear of the divorce yet am glad to see she didn't take half your humor along with the sofa, dishes and family pet. But the M.E.? Never would have thought that. Hows bout a sing-song. Get back Aussie Cat Living in the desert aint where it's at It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine Like trying to tell Fosters from the piss of swine... VS

Ah Stuka, the winner of the Not-so-Superbowl from the first days of CM:BO. I still haven't figured out how you managed to pull that one off. It was either payoffs or inside information. Because having severely stomped you before, and being one of the worst players myself, only trickery could have won the day. Last time we talked you had just tricked some pretty lass into marrying you. I fully expect she has come to her senses by now. Still riding them bikes? Traded mine in for a Po-Po Ranger with steering wheel and cup holders. It is hell getting old. edit for nostalgia von shrad [ August 02, 2007, 12:18 AM: Message edited by: von shrad ]

Does it always have to be threads like this that get the attention of the Pengers? Is it the lowest common denominator? Or is it some arcane formula consisting of no sense of humor coupled with lack of self esteem? I curse you Poop$tain for rattlin' that cage. Let sleeping dog-breaths lie. Back to the hellish world that is the ...er...um.. MBT for these denizens. Great, I think I hear Dorosh coming. Everyone hide and stay quiet. von shrad

Ah, loved The Final Cut and most PF except the very early stuff, which I also have just to round out the collection. The Nile was a cool, obscure song from More(?). Also, The Pro's and Con's of Hitch hiking was excellent. Never cared for the post-Waters Floyd. Too generic imo. von shrad
