Hi there, I searched the forum and apparently the old demo scenarios (eg. Last defense, Reisberg, Chance encounter, Valley of Trouble),updated for CMAK, were available at Der Kessel which is now history. If anyone could provide a link to these classics that would be great. I checked scenario depot but could not find them. cheers [ February 16, 2008, 11:51 AM: Message edited by: weta_nz ]

How good is this!, I'm home sick from work and CMBB arrives! sweet! cheers Battlefront P.S I'm in Auckland

lol, well you certainly are cocky, yeah my ass is really hurting, even now! Check your files if you like but I'm pretty sure the QB went the distance and I was still holding onto 1 of 3 victory flags, but i had lost my tanks. ( I really suck with tanks even the german ones ). Anyway I'm a bit too tired and drunk to start a game tonight. I'm pretty busy too, so it might only be one turn a day. I'll send you an email tomorrow sometime if you are stil keen. BTW Game mechanics was meant as a compliment

kiwijoe talks the talk but.. I've played kiwijoe twice! Once in the gold demo where he ran from the battlefield,(screaming like a baby! ), after losing his 105 shermans in Valley of Trouble. I'm not sure of the score because he didn't send me a surrender file The other game was a closely fought 1500 pt ME QB. Which he won with a minor or tactical victory. It was my 3rd PBEM game ever. I'm sure the score was a bit better than 82:18?? but I could be dreamin. I'd say he's a good stick and rudder man who plays to win on points( ie uses the mechanics of the game well eg a Jumbo and a Churchill VIII in our QB, recon vehicle rush ) but probably lacks the finesse of someone like fionn. Not that i've played fionn of course. If kiwijoe is NZ's next fryberg i think we're in trouble. NB This post is merely in response to kiwijoe's extravagant claims of NZ CM god status weta jive talkin

Hey I haven't even had a chance to try V1.04 By the way, Awesome! service BTS

stuka I'll play ya; you celebrity stalking, half kiwi half I don't know what! piece of fly swishing, jandal wearin, fair dinkum little aussie battler. cough.. Oh yeah my email is sbutler@zfree.co.nz disclaimer: I have no built up resentment to our Australian cousins. Well, not since the boys restored some pride in the black jersey. ------------------ "Ka mate, ka mate! Ka ora , ka ora!"("Tis death, tis death, tis life, tis life!") Maori war cry

nik I did know exactly how ya feel. You may be right about the New Caledonia/NZ thing but I checked that ordering info pretty carefully. Anyway, maybe if you get the game soon we can start a PBEM or something, both of us will be complete newbies to the guys that have had it for over a couple of weeks!! weta

Hey fullas!! I got the game today (Tuesday), sweet. It was sent on the 21/06 but the address reads Auckland, New Caledonia. hehe Obviously someone at the packing house has no idea where NZ is or something. Anyway maybe you guys have had the same problem and can expect your copy real soon. I'm off to play a quick battle or maybe a scenario or..... later ------------------ "Ka mate, ka mate! Ka ora , ka ora!"("Tis death, tis death, tis life, tis life!") Maori war cry

Hey nikib & Titan; I pre-ordered & mine hasn't turned up either - so I feel ya pain! Let us know if you hear anything and I'll do the same.

Real nice pictures Madmatt & crew, cheers! Can't wait to be able to try them out as soon as my copy arrives.

Saturday: No CM. I'm bummed. Oh well.. win or lose the rugby should be excellent tonight. Any Kiwis out there who have recieved there copy in the last few days?

Still waiting, still dreaming. crocky I'd be keen to play you this weekend, IF i get the game! I'll send you an email when I receive the game if you like. Go the AB's, please let me get CM, go the AB's, please let me get CM..etc

Yep, I'm waiting too. Any kiwi's out there besides crocky who have received the game?

I know what you mean Titan, maybe tommorrow... Hey Kiwijoe where are you & when did you get it? ------------------ "Ka mate, ka mate! Ka ora , ka ora!"("Tis death, tis death, tis life, tis life!") Maori war cry

Cheers mate, You've obviously been busy!

Hey grunto, The scenarios sound interesting and I would like to play some smaller battles (once I get my copy) - are you uploading them to any of the scenario sites?

Charles, you da man! I know I would have never picked up a small bug like that, but what great service BTS give us. cheers ------------------ "Ka mate, ka mate! Ka ora , ka ora!"("Tis death, tis death, tis life, tis life!") Maori war cry

Hey Crocky howz the game? Do you a) love it really love it c) couldn't play it because your partner said you had to go out for dinner.. nooooo! Say.. what about a Bledisloe cup of CM for us wargaming computer geeks. Or tri-nations if there are some saffers (South Africans) playing the game...hehe, or maybe i should just shut the hell up. ------------------ "Ka mate, ka mate! Ka ora , ka ora!"("Tis death, tis death, tis life, tis life!") Maori war cry

Sweetas ya nana Thats great news, a chance of playing CM and a All Blacks win this weekend...choice! Thanks BTS, I promise no whinging from me if I don't get it before the weekend. Isn't anyone else sick of the amount of whinging on the forum over the last month?? As a kiwi I don't think I've ever experienced anything like it.

I remember these questions coming up a few times and I think; units get tired faster when running in snow. I'm pretty sure ammo load doesn't effect unit speed (hey the games very detailed but thats just pulling at straws ). Not sure if units will move,run slower in snow. Definitely no tank trails. Try the search function to get the official answers. ------------------ "Ka mate, ka mate! Ka ora , ka ora!"("Tis death, tis death, tis life, tis life!") Maori war cry

exactly pacestick! Sorry to not post any replys but Jons seems well informed on the actual specifics. I really enjoyed reading about the personal side of things. thanks go to CM for devloping an interest in a part of our history. One of the great stories I've heard from the desert- was the NZers had erected some dummy trucks etc with canvas, apparently a Stuka came screaming out of the sky and dropped a wooden bomb on it It's great to think that these guys (friend and foe) had a sense of humour in spite of it all.

Whoops, I mean today. Is it that late already...

Whoops I mean today. Is it that late already...
