    OT web editing software

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Posted

    Just a question. I was wondering if anyone had some good web site software they would recommend. I've got some freeware editor I'm using now (total crap).I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Besides frontpage, I'm too damn cheep to spend $150 bucks on something I just piddle with. Something around $50 would be cool though.

    Thanks

    Spur of the Moment Complaining.

    MG,

    I understand what your saying. I don't agree with it, but I understand it. As a person that has carried a .50 I can assure you that there is no way in hell that I could run and keep up with riflemen. Well, clarification. Yes you can run with it. But for short distances and then you would be puffing. Same reason we passed it around on marches. What I think you confusing is the movement rates in CM.

    crawl-we know that one

    sneack- slow walk looking for enemy.

    Move- normal infantry pace, quick march ect..

    Run- flat out running, huffing and puffing.

    A HMG can can do all of the following except for run. To me that is resonable. They can keep up with the infantry in everyway but running. Even a rifle squad will get real tired if you run them more than a turn or so.

    Maybe you should view it as a HMG or mortar squad when "running" (moving as fast as they can) can only move at a normal squads pace. Look at the orders as speeds not actual animations.

    Hope that made sense.

    OT: How Hollywood is rewriting the role of the British and the USA in war (Big)

    I just wonder how much research goes into some of the movies, and what they choose to leave out.

    In braveheart 2; will they discuss or put in at all the templar knights that fought on the side of Robert? For some reason I have the feeling they will be left out, even though they did play a big role in the english fear factor.

    just rambling...

    SPWAW, CM Panthers and Shermans and Game Mechanics

    Dar, having your unit target what you plan on firing at (even if it is out of LOS) really is a help.

    example) your sherman has been shelling infantry for eons when you want to hunt up the hill for a flank shot on some german armor. If you pretarget the armor (out of LOS) your crew will begin changing ammo. This should put you ready to fire as soon as you do have LOS to the target. Only drawback is if you run into any soft targets before you get there, since you will have unloaded your HE ammo.

    P.S. make sure your unbuttoned when you go hunting up that hill. Or you may not spot that german armor before your turrent is blown off.

    An old game called Sniper

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Posted

    Gawd... I loved sniper and patrol. We used to have running games on a BBS here in winston. We would e-mail our moves to a GM and he would process the turns and send out the results and an AAR.

    I also loved solitare ambush, Still remember one of my guys blowing up because the pin on a grenade was pulled while he was crawling thru some brush....

    the memories...

    P.S. yes I had a twisted childhood it seems.

    I posted this in the other thread. But figure it might be easier for the masses to find here. This is the only Banner I've seen and the one I use. Grab it here or at my site.

    then just link it to this site.
