bumppp

cool thanks. There is so much info on the Battle of the Bulge. It is genererating hundreds of scenarios.

For those of you who wanted Oddballs attack, it is part of my Kellys Heroes campaign. Get it here: http://www.wargamer.com/cm/wg-scenarios/kh.zip

I was at an airshow about 12 years ago at the Beaver County Pa airshow when a B-17 (the 909) was carrying passengers, caught a windgust and ran off the end of the runway and down a steep hill. I have some photos of the wreckage. It was damaged so badly they had to keep it at the airport and rebuild it. Not sure if anyone was killed.

BUMP. Happens all the time. We always ask each other who fired the useless smoke rounds.

Sometimes I think there is a bad luck rule programmed into the software. On occasion, no matter how great you set up or play, you cannot hit an enemy. The more you play the more you will realize it.

try upgrading to DX8

Great job on the buildings except for one major aspect. Most European buildings had reddish tile roofs, not American style shingles. This would make a vast improvement on any of the buildings. Also, pehaps some graffitti or signs marked on them would make an improvement.

Richard, thank you! I looked at the cool smoke effects that people added into Red Baron 3d and I don't see any reason they cannot improve the smoke effects in CM. The smoke currently resembles large deformed mushrooms sprouting from the ground.

Put in the smoke. I have a P200 with a cheapo Vodoo Banshee card in it and the game runs very nicely. 3D cards are so cheap now there is no excuse.

The smoke need to be improved greatly. Smoke screens were white, as opposed to smoke billowing from a tank. Also, there does not seem to be any drifting smoke. In miniature wargaming all this is covered. This game almost has me selling off all of my miniature WW2 figures.

I've seen the Private Ryan scenario on TGN (Air attack section).The Town is awful !!! I'm not talking about buildings textures which are ok for me. But the streets design is american style and don't look very european...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes, I agree, the streets need to be narrower, Most European villages have a town square as well and a church of course.

I would hope that the Bocage country is modeled correctly. Also major W European roads were tree-lined. I haven't seen any of this in the demo and I feel it it necessary to portray terrain as realisticlly as possible.
