I have to agree that it takes long to do a pbem with cm. Especially if you compare it wit tacops. Is it possible to change the handling of pbemfiles like it goes with Tacops? Now you have to send a file for all actions. One for giving orders,one for the orders of your opponent and so on. A tacops pbem is much more easier,you load the file of your opponent and push the combat button. When the turn is over you give your orders and sent them to your opponent. That's all. But TCP/IP and cm 2 are more important so untill that time,just wait and see what happens. Henk

Speaking of email,do I receive another mail from you today? File 17 was the last I sent you.

I had some mods from Kelly's heroes. I have used them once but I have now removed them. Maybe they were the cause of the trouble. I'll soon find out I think. I let you know if it happens again. Thanks

I had the same the last 4 days it crashed 4 times.ctr/alt/del did not help anymore ,I had to shut down power and start the computer again. My drivers are the latest versions. Can it be that there is a bug in the 1.05 patch? If it happens again I put the details in a message uphere. Are more people having this problems?

Saturday there was an item about him and the villers-bocage battle on Discovery europe. In the first battle his tank was indeed damaged and he had to walk back to his HQ to report what happened,than he returned with a new tank and reinforcements. Another thing I noticed was that the he destroyed the British column from an other road that ran parallel to the mainroad. He killed the first and the last vehicle from that column and drove past the rest and killed them one by one.They had no chance at all.I have seen the area and only the operationmap looks a bit like it but not complete because the vehicles in the column can escape. Any one else seen it?

The Fg 42 was an automatic rifle used by the paratroopers(FG means fallschirmjager gewehr) It had a maximum range of 1200 meters and with the bipod it could even be used as a LMG. The weapon was fed by a side mounted 20 round boxmagazine

Hi guys, There are many ladders where you can find opponents of all grades. You can try this one for instance: http://home.wanadoo.nl/edwin.vos

Indeed I am a nice guy and if I can help someone I do. Only sometimes when I get angry I happen to use the wrong words to express myself.(especially with english language,please forgive me for that) I don't want to hurt other people and with this topic I simply wanted to ask others to stop with doing that,and than I think of posts about Germans were they wrong or are they all criminals and guys who think that massmurders are cool and on and on. It is a straight and simple question and I really mean it.

The last weeks there are more and more people who are using this board as a sort of trashcan to display their(in most cases offensive) ideas about almost anything. In many of these cases they are only hurting other people. I think that most questions people can come up with regarding the game(especially for newbies)can be found with a simple search or in the manual. Therefore it is time to close this board or to check each topic posted before placing it. A now I sound just like ..... ah never mind. Come on people lets behave as adults and use this board only for this fantastic game. I Don't want to see any reply to this topic just use your brains think about what I have said and act.Or as we in Holland say : be tolerant! PLEASE!!!!!!

If you mean the performance of the roadwheels,just think of riding on a bike without tires.

What would you do if your QB is on a map where ,the Germans are on the eastern side and you are on the western side. The Germans have a favour in terrain because they are almost on the top of the hill you have to occupie. You are on the other side of that hill and have to get up. There is only one spotter that can give smoke(2 minutes ) you have no cover. The germans have lots of HMG's Tell me what would you do,carefully move up the hill............or run like hell? I know it happened to me and I get slaugthered anyway.

You are not the only one. I had a FLAKvehicle with 65712 rounds/bursts And a stuart with 112 at rounds and 135 he rounds. Bts is this a bug??

There is a special forum for this kind of topics. There you will find people who like this info.

Well I have a new vcr and looked at this piece of the movie picture by picture. Here is what I have seen, On top of the roof from the casino were one 20mm flakgun(bofors)two mg42's and one infantrysquad Down in the first floor was a pak 40 75mm atgun with another infantrysquad The tank was an M4 a1 version with amphibian skirt. Please send me the scenario if it is finished. Henk

these mines do work. I did a little experiment and let 3 platoons(34man) walk trough 3 ap minefields in a row. When they ran trough it(they did not slow down) there were about 6 explosions per field which killed 15/13 and 12 man per platoon. The explosions were very hard to see just small bits of earth jumping up. Hope you are satisfied?

The gun the germans used was a pak40. I am not quite sure about that sherman but I thought it was a 75mm I have the movie but my vcr broke down. I shall check it when my new vcr arrives later this week.

Maybe the Maus is going a little too far but the Panther II is worth to be implemented. Very cool tank.

The action in the movie is great but it has a clear political message that you probably don't like. War sucks and especially the Naziparty and the fanatics are not liked very much by Steiner.Especially his commanding officer. The part where one of his soldiers(NAZI or real badguy)mistreats a Russian pow and the treatment he gets after that from the remaining women(with total agree from Steiner and his men) is a clear sign of this. But you have to watch it for yourself. " Come on take this weapon and I show you where the Iron Crosses grow."(sgt Steiner) Sorry I called you a Nazi, your posting becomes more and more adult each day. If you want to send me a set-up for the villers-bocage battle,see if you win that easy to a real human. Henk Stoffers

So I guess I have been lucky. About your post ,yes I think some operations are to big. 3 battles with 20 or 25 turns is long enough. I do one battle at an evening.

Has anyone outhere played that operation jet? I finished it today and I have to say that the Germans were no match to me. I posted some squads with piat support in the buildings near the bridge and my mortars at the end of the bridge. These mortars killed almost each halftrack at the other side of the river. Every time German units ran over the bridge they were slaughtered by my rifle squads. These squads did not take any fire.Even the STurmgeschutze did not fire at them. The AI road the remainig vehicles over the bridge without their infantry. I just let them come towards me and finished them of with Piat and flamerthrowers. At the last turn I did an attack with all my squads under smoke cover to the bridge and quikly surrendered it. After warths their were just 11 Germans left Total allied victory.A very simple battle or did I have much luck. Did Anyone else have a bad experience with this battle as the British? Let me know maybe we can play a pbem on that one.

If infantry can get in close range to a tank or afv than the crews can't see them. In most cases that is a range up to 10 meters some times more.The famous blind angle. Anyone who has been in armyservice(tanks,IFV) knows that.I saw the paratroops have gammonbombs What is a gammon bomb and can I use that thing to kill armour? Are mines used too? Infantry can place mines on tracks or throw mines on the roof of a tank or under the turret to kill them.

For the smilies just look at the FAQ part they are on top of that list IIRC
