I still think he got paid - never seen so much bs in one article lol SS_PanzerLEader......out

Hey how are you gettingthe wavs to work? I tried putting in some cc2 wavs and i couldnt get them to work at all - any suggestions? SS_PanzerLeader.......out

how much do youthink he got paid to write that crap?? SS_PanzerLeader............out

Ambrose has written several another ( cant remember the title) deals with the push after D,Day into France - great reading. Michael Doubler's "Closing with the Enemy " is also an excellent insight into the US role. It has alot of Tactical stuff but the reading on the bocage and Sigfried Line is awesome.

Would like to see the battle of Aachen recreated. I recall reading on it and the battle over the fortress at Metz .(if Ive confused them plz correct me I read it a while ago) I believe there was s some furious combat recorded ivolving a graveyard at Aachen and the Brits had to bring in Some crocs to Route the Germans from the fortress at Metz. Both of these would make great scenarios IMHO SS_PanzerLeader.....out

Brucifier , i dont know if there is anything to this I'm sure other s will say if there is a bug. Just wondering why youdont check los with the los line? SS_PanzerLeader

I toolike larger maps but one thing to keep in mind is that these games will be much longer than CC; so with that note it will be necessary tohave a good mix - casue sometimes its nice to play a game in a few hours rather than a several days SS_PanzerLeader.......out

Lokesa thats strange -itis the correct addy; but I added another in ase hotmail is acting up. SS_PanzerLeader.....out

LOL I was pretty sure who you were referring too but I too didn't want to mention any names lol. Their names were mudded enough in CC2, hopefully they learned something and if they show up in the COMBAT MISSION arena their previous *AHEM, AHEM* tactics will be not brought with them. AS for that reaming My memory is fogged that far back so maybe we can play a gama of CM an you can refresh my memory :-P SS_PanzerLeader......out

Lokesa Well I can think of a couple of players too that fill that spot. I think I know who you are referring too but just in case I'll say a bit in my defense. I was a cautious player and retook 1st several times until I got bored. Some probably viewed me as a camper - but I didn't play recklessly, my moves were planned and deliberate- If I was defending of course you can call me a camper - but if I-m not the attacker the best form of defense isnt always attack despite the saying. I'm glad this has turns too and hopefully time limit options for turns during TCP/IP. I do recognize your name but I'm not sure if we ever played. SS_PanzerLeader.......out

THANKS ALOT ! SS_PanzerLeader..out

TOUCHE' I Guess alot of grumbling on the internet(Had the internet been such a medium) may have saved a few people from purchasing that car that explodes on rear impact :-P SS_PanzerLeader.............out

ERR ......... could someone please tell me the url of these nighttime screenshots thanks SS_PanzerLeader.......out

SCOUT!!!!!!! I knew Id hook ya lol SS_PanzerLeader.....out

SPY_EYE That was our point there isn't anything worth buying -that is why there was so much dissapointment over CC3 and 4. Save your money until this comes out if you want a good WW2 game. As far as anyone putting down your language or country, I haven't seen that any where - and by the way your last post was very legible thank you. SS_PanzerLeader....out

Fionn I think you missed what I meant in my post, I didnt want them to just conserve ammo. I was suggesting that they conserve ammo until.. target is with xmeters(options) or harrass within Xmeters. I feel this would have a greater impact on the game just my opion tho. SS_PanzerLeader...out

Xyphorus I did not realize about the email thing I apologize, I've never used it so I didn't know I could do that. Also I never said he couldn't post if he hadn't mastered the English language, I said that I wouldn’t have posted, also I merely pointed out that he opened a can of worms that he didn’t really want to hear the answer to. When the responses were posted he began to get rattled and his posts got worse. AS far as the spellchecker goes like I said earlier - I'm not familiar with it. FIONN I have no problem telling someone their post is quite understandable as a means of explaining why they mightn't be getting an answer to it but I think everyone should realize that posting in a language you don't know very well requires that you be given a lot of leeway. If this leeway isn't given to Spy_Eye (whose behavior in this thread I think has been very poor) then others who aren't good with English won't post here. You are entirely right here; I just want all to know that I was not trying to discourage anyone who doesn't speak English well from posting here. I Wish I would never had put the spelling comment, but I did and its done, yet not for the reasons that I think some may be thinking. I honestly didn’t feel like he had looked the stuff over that’s all. I’m terrible about making spelling mistakes because I type fast but when I post I try to look them over. TO ALL If anyone things I was outta line I never meant to offend-anyone I just love a good scrap, so I don’t back down and I'm pretty straight forward :-P, and If I see that I'm wrong about something I'm man enough to apologize - which I have previously done where I felt were needed.

Fionn, I'm sure I speak for a large portion of the wargaming community when I say that your efforts are greatly appreciated. It is very noble of you to offer your time and knowledge to such an extent without any compenstation. I do feel that what you do should lead to some sort of consulting position, or show some compensation of some sort ( unless you are independently wealthy and really don't, need it lol). Maybe this is something that will develop for you in future games as its evident that your knowlege has played a major role in the wargaming industry. I also find it very disheartening that these other companies have declined your assistance, yet I guess that just reinforces my opinion of them. The guys you are with now seem like they got their priorities well in order, so I'm sure your efforts are well recognized. Again I greatly appreciate the work that your doing - way kool!

true enough I can understand that it is difficult to post in a Foreign Language, but unfortunately I didn't have his email addy to tell him in any other manner. Regardless an increasing amount of text became unclear, Correct me if Im wrong( im not being a smartass) but doesnt a computer have Language options, I've never had to use them so I dont know for sure. Also I don't think I would open up this kind of discussion if I were not able to convey my ideas in a straightforward manner. With regards to making points about what I didnt like about the game - there was no sense in beating a dead horse - everyone else has already summed most of it up on this bbs it onthis forum . SS_PanzerLeader...out

HI Abandoned is hte same as knocked out for all intent an purposes during a scneario, I believe in campaigns they will be salvagable whereas knocked out vehicles are scrap. SS_PanzerLeader............out

Hi I dont know if theyve considered this but it would be great if you had better fire control over your troops- ie hold fire until Xmetres , harrassing fire etc. SS_PanzerLeader.....out

It would still be possible even after the game starts to view the scenario SS_PanzerLeader.....out

Hey guys sounds like a tough fight and I'm glad people are already debating ways of handling this competitively. One thing I that I noticed with the idea of a blind game in a tournament, is that there is no gauarantee that this will truely be blind. THere is nothing stopping a person checking out the scenario whilst playing an opponent. For example they can evaluate each sides foreces terrain and even run a sample game if they so chose while concurrently playing their opponent, this would give them a significant edge. I would never do this I hate people that cheat -it doesnt prove anything, but unfortunately winning is the only thing to some no matter how. Any feedback? SS_PanzerLeader.......out

OOPs the other thing that holds my interest tremendously is this SS_PanzerLeader.........out

SPY_EYE I realize that English isn’t your first language but you could still use a spelling checker or at least look it over before ya post :-P I apologize for attacking you as you put it but your sarcastic condescending tone, complimenting the fact that in your eyes we aren’t allowed an opinion Kind of rubbed me the wrong way. I am not political in my statements other than the fact I believe I have the right speak an say what I so choose without landing myself in jail :-P You seem to be accustomed to being lulled into some kind of mass conformity. Really I hate politics. Also in regards to personal attacks I guess I didn’t care for the remarks referring to those that complain as old women, nor historical buffs as freaks. In the context of your last inference to the architectural analogy I made you changed the entire concept of what I said scroll up, don’t compare apples and oranges. As far as what games I play; I play a lot of different games nothing holds my interest for a huge amount of time with the exception of CLOSE COMBAT 2 which I avidly supported and promoted with the same vigor I denounced later versions. I do not complain incessantly about other games I don’t like I simply don’t buy them> I complain a bout close combat because it is my gaming genre and is misrepresenented by its manufacturers claims. These people did not hear solely from me –they heard form numerous beta testers before me and lots of other gamers afterwards- all voicing the same complaints. Last time I checked they make money off of us not the other way around therefore they need us we don’t need them. Had they bothered to listen to those that were making their job possible there probably wouldn’t be so many disgruntled posts, I don’t see this many complaints about any other game so far, although I haven’t bothered to look cause there isn't another game out there that bugs me this much. Obviously in that context the game mattered to me and I was highly disappointed as was countless others. Why do they want beta testers if they are going to ignore them? Am I missing something or did they just feel the need to make sure it they’re coding just didn’t crash on execution? You opened this thread by stating lets have an open discussion on CC2 or words generally to that effect. Unfortunately you seem to think no one has the right to be upset or disgruntled after they found a game that they really enjoyed had been ruined Nor at the fact that the company chose to make changes against the will of its customers to bring an end to some wonderful gaming moments. Again I apologize for the drug crack but I do feel your thinking is somewhat clouded to say the least. SS_PanzerLeader………….out
