All that sort boils down to not liking it because it is different to CMx1. Maybe you might want to try the demo of PC:O.
I don't have it and have not tried the demo yet but from what I have read of it it appears to be alot more like the CMx1 series than CMBN so maybe you will get more enjoyment out of that one, alternatively you could play CMBN a bit more till you become accustomed to the UI.

Rattled includes the stirring perhaps.

NG Cavscout sends turns but he's so frightened of me that his lads continue to cower in the weeds and don't even show themselves. He's trying to delay the inevitable and it's sad.
You know I could say pretty much the same thing, well I could also say he's good at getting tanks blowed up by halftacks and armoured cars just to rub it in a bit more.

I thought Manly played rugby?

Camera movement stops too soon beyond the map edges? Really? You're really going to complain about that?
I've noticed this can be annoying especially on smaller maps when viewing the map from even a moderate height, it requires you to tilt the camera down if you want to see the bottom edge of the map.

Are you sure he is all that is left of the unit?
From my experience a unit member wont surrender if there are still active troops from that unit somewhere.

I'm too busy trying to untangle squads, 1/2 squads and HQ units from a zillion different movement path icons whilst trying to keep some kind of C&C.
In a similar vein to Boo, who is trying to untangle the ropes and pulleys he's cunningly fashioned to string his hamster collection together in order to get his Amstrad 600 up to speed.
I thought you were dead.

Well wiki gives effective range of from 100-150 metres and max range of 370-460 metres for the zooks in game.
So 220 metres sounds like a lucky but realistic range.

No a hood is what steals a car.
Hell you probably still think the boot has something to do with elephants.

Reminds me of zombies.

Speedy - did you actually spot any Amis just by sitting there and listening?
Yes no absolute id's obviously but lots of question marks along the bocage - it took about 20 mins+ but one turn went from nothing spotted to about 10 - 15 spotted somethings.
This was on Elite difficulty.

1. Disembark your PSW crews (ones with binos)
2. Move to VL's
3. Wait for 20-30 minute
4. Move back to PSW and get in
5. Drive to exit point
6. Smells like victory
If you shoot or get shot at you are doing it wrong.

O.M.G. I'm playing a Holden Driving Bundy Pig.
The shame.....
Noba.
I'm conflicted I do have a commodore in the back yard, but mostly just drive my Ford 4x4 ute.

Hmmmm did Marlow forget his old log in?

The Death Of Unca Stukey
-
Hear ye! Hear ye! As an undeniable and undesputed Olde One of the Peng Challenge Thread it pleases me to announce that my CMBN cherry has been broken! True it was Speedy who broke it and it doesn't make me proud to say that Ladies and GentleHamsters but what can you do? I was drunk and he seemed nice and offered me a lift home.
Anyhoos, first blood (no pun intended) had gone to your Olde Unca Stukey! Yep, some sneeksy Speedyian troops got caught in the open trying to gamily sneeks their way into a building from which they might...might mind you, have had a flanking position on my trusty lads. So a few shots have opened the score and as the FOX reporter embedded with my troops has just radioed in, there are 2 little Speedies laying veeery still on the ground. Either they are shot to **** or else they have suddenly developed an overwhelmng interest in blades of grass. In any case, I claim victory!
Open the drinks cabinet and lets get the drinking under way! W00T!
Feh you can't count it's more like 8 little Speedies.
But I killed the battalion commander old Unca Stukey himself or at least a close personal friend.
Now I will take that victory bottle of Bundy thank you very much.

Fundamentally, Charles can spend several weeks coding up a "to & penetration chance routine", and then the Betas can spend a week or two testing and debugging this. Or, they can put the same energy into putting another feature into the game, like flame weapons and fire modeling, or gun & mortar pits, or star shells, etc. Personally, I'd prefer one of the latter.
I'll take the flamers and star shells please.

Due to the misguided 'Repple Depple' system in the US Arrmy during the war injured and lost soldiers were returned to a replacement depot and redistributed to new units. This, it was belatedly discovered, had a result of diluting the quality and cohesiveness of veteran formations.
Which leads one to think that during the time period depicted game there should probably a wider range of quality per unit.
This would also suggest a potential for a lower motivation level for US troops, you might be willing to risk your life for a mate you have lived, trained and fought beside for two years but you most likely wont for someone you first met yesterday or a week ago.
What was the German policy for soldiers returning to the front after recovering from wounds?

I think you are looking at it as a linear progression where as I see it more as an exponential progression. While the training/experience needed to progress from conscript to regular is not a lot, that needed to progress to veteran is quite a bit more and that needed to get to crack is significantly more than veteran.
As for Elite well I would restrict that to exceptional small units/people such as Wittman, or SAS teams etc.
Using this progression structure I would class units such as the 101st as Veteran for D-Day and Market Garden progressing to Crack for the Ardennes (even here there could be an argument for that division not to classed as Crack until after the Ardennes). I would never rate any divisional force greater than Crack and very few would get to that level, that said it is possible for a couple of exceptional team or vehicle in that division to be classed as Elite they are easily offset by the majority that are Crack, Veteran or even Regular.

So that's where my shoe went.

WEGO racist.
Now now I know you are west of Finland and I will cut you some slack for that however the correct term is WEGO bigot.
And as bigot is from an old derogatory French name for the Normans it is most apropos.
