I would enjoy playing someone PBEM in portuguese, any of you out there live in Brazil or speak portuguese? Or can I prematurely name myself "The Brazilian National Combat Mission Champion" in the tourney I plan to organize?

I have one further question - is it harder to hit with OIF than with direct fire? In ASL, for example (please dont flame me for this) spotted fire incurs in a +1 penalty. Epée Brazil

Will we get a confirmation message when CM is shipped to us? Does USPS have tracking codes? Epée Brazil

Quote "The turning point in the war wasn't the Battle of Britian, Staligrad, Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge, or any other land based battle. The turning point was Pearl Harbor. We may not have even committed troops to the ETO if this event hadn't happened" I have to disagree. I rally think that Germany would have lost the war even if the US had not intervened. I truly think that ]Russia would have won alone, it would just be a matter of taking more time to do it. After Stalingrad, the german east front was on the defensive, and no matter what support Russia got from the allies, Russia would have pushed back Germany anyway. Epée

I played CE yesterday as the allies, and gave the Axis +25% balance. I scored 90-10, so there is still room for improvement! I sent ALL my squads to the woods in front of the grain field, massed them all together, and proceeded to slowly make my way across the woods killing every german I saw. I put the Shermans facing the crossroads, just below the woods, and they knocked out all the 3 Stugs. The rest was easy. Epée

Thank you for your perfect answer DrD! Épée

Errr...forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is an ironclad? Epée Brazil

I have a Guillemot TNT2 Ultra, and never had any problem, with ANY game. I highly recommend NVIDIA cards. Epée

I will command an infantry battalion in CMMC (I cannot tell which side)...what should I expect to get? Epée Brazil

To all you grognards, can someone clarify to me the basic organizational units of the military? For example, by now I know that a squad has 8-12 men. And what about Companies, Battalions, Divisions, Brigands, Plattons, Armies, etc. ? How many men (or squads) to each of these? What are they composed of? Epée Brazil

How about just changing the forces in CE and VOT? For example, CE with a Panther, Flame Throwers, 105 arty, etc... That way you would be using the same units that the demo has... Epée

I think I ordered in January, but I dont remember if I ever got an email confirmation... we will have some other confirmation? i.e. when our credit cards get billed? Or when our copy is shipped? I still am hoping that Charles and Steve are such nice guys and they have decided to surprise us in telling they are shipping in 1 or 2 weeks time, but in reality the copies are ready and we will suddenly wake up one morning this week and receive the news that the first orders are already arriving! Epée

>I had a very bad luck with mortars in CE. >Mortar shell fell between two shermans. It >damaged the gun on one and immobilized the >second one! I played CE twice this morning, as the germans, and twice I managed to immobilize a Sherman with 81mm rounds. It wasnt at all difficult, since the AI tends to leave one or two shermans stopped and firing at me. Epée Brazil

Can a 81mm mortar harm a tank in any way? What are the chances? BTW, is there anyone else from Brazil on this forum? Thanks, Epée

Berlichtingen, Id like to take you up for a game too. I live in Brazil, so i will receive the game a few days late. I´d like game 12, with the Axis. Feel free to email me. chr@linkexpress.com.br Epée - Christian Moura PS: It will also be my first PBEM game.

Is 60 turns a maximum limit for scenarios? Is there a minimum or maximum limit? Epée Brazil

Can there be scenarios with both night and day turns in them? Can the weather change from turn to turn?? Christian

NIGHT SCENARIOS! NIGHT SCENARIOS IN RAINY WEATHER!! NIGHT SCENARIOS IN RAINY WEATHER WITH FULL FOW!!! Ohhhhhhhh.... Epée Brazil

Hello Jeeves, the best books I have read (although I have only read very few) on WW2 are: 1) Enemy at the Gates (about the horrors in Stalingrad, with a lot of anecdotes and stories of indiviudal soldiers) 2) Forgotten Soldier (the autobiography of a young frenchman fighting in the german army) Epée [This message has been edited by Epée (edited 05-25-2000).]

Panzerleader, I live in Brazil (Brasilia) and I have already ordered my copy. If you need any help, email me. Christian Moura chr@linkexpress.com.br

Sniperscope, recreating ASL scenarios has been my dream ever since I first heard of CM, ages ago. First Scenario I plan on doing is "Kurhaus Clash" from Yanks, man, I love that scenario! What do you have in mind?
