Steve has already explained that this is not going to be *easy*. Some way has to be developed to link all the seperate turns together. Myth doesn't have to do that. Just because another game has the feature does not mean it's easily doable in this one.

I don't think so. I'll have to recheck tonight. They aimed the damn gun at the house though!!

Yes, it's ver 1.05. And the force is not working. While three squads of Ami's sit in a house, the HT just pelts them with MG fire. Not once using the 75. Very bizarre in my opinion. I mean that the hell is that cannon for? To scare the enemy?

Oh my GOD! They killed Kenney!!!!!!! YOU BASTARDS!

So there he sits, machine gunning away at a target 55 meters away. The 75mm is pointed at them......and it never fires. If I TELL him to fire he does. Seems pretty odd that it doesn't fire on it's own. What's up wiff dat?

Oh ferr cryin' out loud. A Manieri thread bumped up. WHY???? It's been so nice with him gone, now this reminder.

The ones that tick me off are the arrogant comments that say in essence, "This game would be REALLY good if it had 'X' in it. When will that be added? Then this game would be good." Arrggh. Piss off. It's never a question as to why something was not included. Just a statement, THIS SHOULD BE HERE!! Got no patience for that crap.

Not hard to figure out - Follow the "ORDER HERE!" link from the main page. Seems pretty obvious so far... Then - "To order WITHOUT a CREDIT CARD, see our Ordering Options" Still pretty clear... Which takes you to - "Paying By Check" =============== It's much easier to just order with a visa and send the check for the same amount to your bank that has the Visa. As for TCP. It's done when it's done.

No question for me. King Tiger. This thing is simply the KING of the battlefield. I now ALWAYS buy one when playing a QB as the Germans. Park it on a hill and rule ALL that it can see for miles. It's pretty much invincible when used right. I luv it, my enemies hate it!! I augment the KT with a Hetzer and a hummel sometimes.

Gun elevation is not modeled.

IT WONT WORK. Jeezus you are one stuborn newbie. How many ways does it need to be explained to you? The data for the other tanks is NOT IN THE DEMO. You cannot "add" them in. But why listen to anyone here? We don't know squat. So you just go ahead and make it work. Let us know how it comes out. Oh wait, we already know.

Somhow I managed to get another senario working in the "Demo" which is Maastricht Tanks etc. It works without a glitch but when it comes to drawing Vehcles not included in the "Demo" the crew are visible but float along on the invisible "Tanks" and halftracks etc. Would one of you Geuinus tell me How I can get them to Show? I have downloaded tons of bmp;s in the hope of getting it to work etc. I would like to do it just from an learning point of veiw too. Regards<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> No genius required. You cannot do what you want. There's a reason it's a demo. Many of us played the first beta demo for months. You have little time to wait, just relax.

Uh...... Hah hah?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by jdmorse: Famous last (CM) words...... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Perhaps. But, and this is just being honest, not bragging...I have not lost a single quick battle in weeks. I'd guess 20 QB games. It just seems that the AI is having major problems making concerted efforts in it's attacks. Im by no means a Grog, and I think that I am winning more because I am learning to predict the AI. (possibly spoiler) . . . In this scenerio the AI couldn't figure out what to do with it's half tracks. So I pummeled them with arty and eventually had Tiger use them for target practice. The AI never had a chance at getting the victory locations in this scenerio, despite the fact that I *completely* failed to place the AT gun and the MG bunker. Never saw them during setup, so I was actually handicapped from the start. Anyway, Im just getting a bit disappointed in the AI's behavior. I want it to surprise me and whoop me good.

Thanks for the new scenario Bill. It was just the size I prefer. I must say though, as the Germans I kicked the crap out of the Poles. Only had 8 KIA on my side. Destroyed 35 vehicles, lost 2. I think I am starting to learn how to beat the AI handlily.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by thomasj: On to the expantion pack for CM, I have heard many a rumor on this. Aynone know if there is any truth to it?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I quote Steve back in January. "Yes, we are planning on an expansion pack. More vehicles are part of that plan."

It's not that they weren't using them before I don't think, but it's really weird behavior now. It's been mentioned on another thread. Everytime I've played a QB and been waxing the computer, the AI then (after it's too late) comes down with massive smoke and a half hearted attack. Also, several bizarre instances of AT guns and tanks firing smoke at the enemy, when they should NOT be firing smoke. Something happened with 1.04 to cause this.

Doesn't work unless you're part of the so called "MSN Community".

Ok, this happened AGAIN last night. Very bizarre this time. Had a 75mm AT gun that had just waxed an M24 from over 350 meters. AFTER it destroys the M24, it suddenly switches to smoke and fires a smoke round 350 meters, into the trees. What the fuh?? There was nothing on the hill other than infantry, and all it did was obscure *my* line of site. There is definitly something going on here. Oh, and again, like clockwork, after I'd mowed down the Ami attack, towards the end I got bombed with smoke. Happens every time now.

The mission depends on the type of sub. Modern attack subs hunt down other subs, they shadow boomers, attack surface ships, do recon, insert special ops teams etc. Some launch Harpoons and Tomahawks against land and sea targets. The Kursk (Oscar II class) carried very nasty Shipwreck missles that were designed to shatter carrier battle groups from hundreds of miles away, out of the range of ASW assets. Oh, BTW "boomers" carry nuclear missles. I don't know if we'll see again the concept of "Wolf Packs" tracking down convoys. A single battle group could effectively blockade all ship traffic for hundreds of miles. Interesting, I don't think subs have been used in their "traditional role" since Vietnam? Or maybe even Korea?

Sorry if it sounded harsh. After being on the board for nearly a year and seeing the same questions asked over, and over, and over again....it's hard not to start pulling hair out. I mean we get these so called "experts" who just KNOW what "needs to be changed", etc etc. They *tell BTS* that this needs to be changed and that needs to be changed. Same with the, "I want a Soviet/US modern CM"!!! Ugh. Gets under my skin. It's just frustration, sorry dude.

And your point is? We already know that CM2, 3 and 4 are coming out. The East, the Med, and the early war years. That's good for the next 3 years, AT LEAST.

Is it just me, or are there no pictures in the manuals?? I downloaded the Machine Gun manual. Lots of good reading.....no pictures in PDF.
