The funny thing is the game (CMBB) seems to be selling EXTREMELY well Despite the Demo scenarios which some folks here suggest did not have the same fun factor or mass appeal as the GREAT CMBO scenarios. (Which IMHO were something special if not almost mystical as they were NEW and the WHOLE concept of CMBO was Ground Breaking and new!)Originally posted by rucrazee:I have had the same problem. Combat Mission is not for everyone. I think guys who enjoy history, particularly, military history will natural gravitate towards it. Guys who like games that mentally challenge them should find it irresistable. If your friends enjoy history and mental challenges, you should have a winner. Now those that need the continuous adrenaline rush of a FPS or fast-paced RTS may not find the pace fast enough for them and/or they may not want to think that much. Since you friends enjoy Civ III which doesn't exactly break the sound barrier, I am sure they won't find this game too slow for them.
No offence to BTS, but the demo may not leave them wanting more. I would sit them down at your house and hotseat with them. Explain why you are doing what you are doing and how things work perhaps with a scenario that has a little of everything in it. I am assuming you may have some military background based on your forum alias, so let them see for themselves that this is a game that involves actual military strategy. Hopefully this will help you in their conversion.
I have found CMBO and CMBB a tough sell with my friends as well
oh well
11 thousands registered users here (and many new friends) and I have plenty of PBEM opponents, so who cares let them play Civ 3 all they want.

ah Perfect!
I love it when a plan comes together!
I knew a bogging and immobolization GROG would show up here at some point.
Thanks for the post K Canuck!

P.S. Can you explain more about those things like u/c and the other short forms and abbreviations that some of us might not understand?
Hardly a grog, I think you need to be an engineer to achieve that distinction.
If you want more undercarriage(u/c) info go here. If you can wade though this and still need clarification, just ask, I'll be happy to fill in the blanks.

I thought that if a tank overran infantry that the inf would suffer some negative morale effect like they might break route or panic?
