    WooHoo!

    The CM Superbowl:

    Germanic Vikings vs. American Bills

    The game garenteed to be a draw!

    As for my losing... Well as my irish pappy always said "Your going to get into some fights, and your going to lose some. But Damnit! Make sure they know you were there!"

    Hey Pillar,

    I'm not a good opponent, but if you need someone to slap around in frustration later just send me a file.

    I try to lose five or six at a time, and I'm down to just four now.

    I've decided my goal in life is to lose at PBEM games and spread joy throughout the CM nation.

    Are all minefields German?

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Posted

    It is a known fact that the minefields have long been associated with wars and discontent. It is for this reason that a small group of them moved to the new world and even changed their name to something plesant the "Hatfields". They tried to live in peace in a remote section of mountains, but to no avail. Another family from Europe the McCoys happened to run across the Hatfields and recognized the family name. Sadly a war, a war they tried in vain to avoid, broke out.

    Lucky for us in america. The hatfields were small and isolated, unlike the minefields in Europe, where their close poximity to each other often caused widespread death and distruction.

    cool Fionn.

    It's my birthday too.

    Of course I'm only a young 32 today.

    and still an idiot... I might grow out of that stage in a decade or 8.

    That and being born on 7/19 makes me a cancerous growth on society.. but its a living.

    Vehicles need more variety

    Jeff,

    With all due respect.

    Do you ever post to this board when something isn't wrong? Just seems everytime I see a thread from you I know it is going to be a complaint.

    As for the Rinos, Yes I agree that CM making them a part of every allied tank is an abstarction. BUT. I'm very happy with the game as it is. I did not, and I do not want BTS to take time to code and model another 50 or so vehicles just to work around bocage. To me at least, that isn't a feture that merets BTS taking a couple of months to do.

    PBEM Player Sites?

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    You can add your name to one of the ladders, Like at CMHQ.

    Or just post a note here asking for games and state your preferance. I find I get plenty of games...real quick.

    I would offer you one. But I can only lose so many at a time. mad.gif

    Any way to Turn off passwords?

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Posted

    I think one thing you guys are overlooking are cheaters.

    A sad state to be sure.. But they are out there. Not using a password and/or having it not prompt for one is opening all your PBEM turns to the guy you are playing. Now if you only play with one or two people you trust this might be ok. But for the majority of us it isn't.

    I find it just as easy to use really simple passwords, and I usually use the same on for several on going games. With the time it takes a PBEM game to be played, I don't find typing in a couple more letters a day to be very time consuming.

    From signing on to the net.

    opening mail

    downloading the file

    playing the turn

    saving the game

    zipping the file

    sending it back of thru the mail

    waiting another day for it to come back.

    The time it takes to type in something like "cat". Just doesn't seem like a big deal.

    Lorak

    P.S. no, cat isn't being used in any of my games.. smile.gif

    Gamecenter Review, So These Games are Better?

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Posted

    Is it just me? This guys graphics seem bad in his screen shots. They seem way to bright. Also, in one of his screen shots you can see the "square" smoke. Someone needs to tell him to check his computers graphics before he passes judgement. In a nice way of course.

    I would do so. But my skills with spelling and the written word are very sub-par.

    The Ultimate Niggle

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Posted

    Another problem with CM.

    I don't think they got their translations correct for some forign troops. When my men are taking a break I've never heard one of them utter:

    "I will not by this record it is scratched"

    or

    " my hovercraft is full of eels."

    or

    " I want to fondle your buttocks."

    the last one may be in, but I haven't played as the british much.
