Even wwiionline will not be able to eliminate battlefield telepathy. I can easily have a guy in Montreal go take a look at what is behind a mountain while I'm on the phone with him,(ie not long distance). I wouldn't do that cause I want the down on the ground, bullets zipping over my head(or through it ) atmosphere. I don't think that wwiionline will even try to control player communications because there are ways players can get around this. They're still fun games to play in a ww2 setting.

That Field Grau uniform mod looks so gung ho in battle. Anyone know why there were grey and field grau colors? Diff time periods?

If there was a way, anybody can see anyone's file, no?

Yes Henri, I am hull down at the river waiting for your cav to save the day. There are two small hills near your side. You should go there . It is a good spot to put your tank in overwatch as your infantry advances. iggi

Oh Henri, , In our game I don't think your recon is gamey. But one thing they will be is...dead.

There is a way around the problem. That's where balanced scenarios come into play. QBs are for fun, in general. Serious games then have to be play balanced scenarios.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>The point here is that NO COMMANDER did ANYTHING LIKE THIS<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Agreed, I was clarifying the difference between recon and a gamey tactic to contrast Henri's and MTankers ideas. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>I think the "jeep tactic" is for people who can't handle the challenge<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> What challenge? As MTanker stated, if both players agree to tactics, no problem. Nobody is defending a 'tactic', only defining it as opposed to recon.

I had deleted my ICQ since wwiionline is not out yet. I thought that there were too many things loading when I started my computer. I'll redownload icq.

I see What MTanker means. Henri is talking about recon. MTanker is talking about buying jeepmgs for 19 points. Placing them on available roads right away with fast move orders all over the road network. This WILL reveal the the enemy main body, direction,speed. If you're lucky you spot the heavy armor which gives you a jump on a tank battle before infantry can position. Vorgks greht in a meeting engagement. If you have a game with alot of points, 100 points on 'pigeons' is worth it. It is gamey.

It's clearer now what's bothering you. I wish you the best.

You have to care for the greater good of CMHQ, and Madmatt and Fionn. We all win in the end.

jpinard, if CMHQ is using marketing to survive and is not charging you, there is nothing wrong. So you have to wait. So you can't have your mod for free *right now*. So CMHQ can go out of business to serve me myself and I right now for free. CMHQ is giving us great stuff at a decent pace for FREEEEEEE. I can live with that.

jpinard, all the stuff that you can download is free at CMHQ. Why do YOU care if he makes a buck. What are you communist? Are you jealous? Madmatt has been posting almost every day for more than a year now. Who are you to come in here and judge if he can earn some money. Madmatt deserves to earn some money. If he gets rich, what's wrong with that? What is wrong with someone who works hard, enjoys what he does and gives tremendous pleasure to so many people, to make money? Don't go to his site if YOU don't want to. Don't give mods if YOU don't want to. Jeeses, people expect free work. Hackers expect free games. Sorry, life is not free. Actually, all the MODs are free at the CMHQ site. What is wrong with that jpinard? I completely disagree with your self rightious higher than thou attitude. Madmatt went to Germany, supplied us with pics...all free. Oh my God, Madmatt is energetic and free enterprising...oooh maybe he should be unemployed on Gov't funds to make you happy. You get so much stuff for free and you complain. [This message has been edited by iggi (edited 09-19-2000).]

The king tiger mod looks great. The Green and brown darkness is perfect.

Here's a link to an older discussion on the matter. http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/Forum1/HTML/000319.html

I heard somewhere that they're trying to bring out soldier's emotions. Soldiers get love letters from home that affect how they fight. They should call it, 'Barbie goes to war'.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>You can, however, plan around it and aid the TacAI in its decisions. Simply make sure that you have some nice cover BEHIND you. In military terms: watch out that your retreat is covered.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Good tip.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>I'm going bunker busting with these little buggers next time<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> It's amazing how we learn from what screwed us in our last battle. CM is such a learning experience as well as fun.

I see. ok then

Another thing that should be taken out is the ability to click on an enemy unit and see a yellow line extending from it. Reason I say this is cause I was shooting at a tiger, I thought I was going to get wacked cause like 5 shots kept bouncing off him. Anyways, all of a sudden, za tiger didn't vant to play anymore. He was stationary and didn't shoot back. If I clicked on him, a nice yellow line leads from him to my tank, meaning...he sees me. So why does he not shoot back? His gun must be damage. I should not know if he can see me.

Are units moving along hill crests easier to spot because of thier outline with the sky?<img src=http://smilecwm.tripod.com/net3/king.gif>

doh, there's no russians in CM!

I know a map exists, has the scenario been made and balanced by anyone?
