    Looking for opponent

    in English

    Posted · Edited by Frenchy

    Seeking an opponent for CMBN, CMFI or CMRT. Any game will do. Looking to play a small battle. Move frequency will be 2 to 3 days, depending on my work load. I am not an expert player and consider my myself extremely green. If interested just PM me!

    No Release Date

    The day is not over...at least for me here in Georgia, USA.

    Yeah, I think that was in response to my newbie inquiry about not posting a release date.

    So, that brings us to this Sunday as the last chance to *always* ship within 4-8 weeks, I guess. I was really hoping for a release today.

    Steve, have to agree with you. It's been decades since I've seen kids playing "war" or cowboy and Indians. Like you, for me it was "combat" outside with the Okinawans. I was 8 when we arrived in 1965. We all had a blast playing (no pun intended). I remember those days fondly!

    Similar, but probably 8. That was part of my learning experience about being sensitive to others. You see... the next door neighbor, who could see us in the front yard, was Japanese. Doh! So we played Cowboys and Indians since we had Native Americans around ;) Or generic "Army".

    Some might find that form of play horrible. Now, of course, kids don't go outside and play anything. I don't think that's much of an improvement :(

    Chops -- did the same thing on Okinawa while my dad was stationed there in from 1965 - 1970. It's where my interest in WW2 really blossomed. Nothing like walking a battlefield to get a good perspective. Back then, my friends and I found a ton of shell casings, live ammo and other items. We then took the stuff to the Museum at Fort Sukiran -- now Camp Sukiran, I think -- and made a few bucks.

    My military experience:

    Age 5, Pacific Theater. Played WWII U.S. vs. Japan in neighborhood front yards. Friend who was Japanese played as U.S. against me, who was the "dirty japs" according to my pal.

    History of Battlefront

    Speaking of Flight Leader, I would love to see this updated. I still have it on an old Windows computer, including the scenario/campaign builder. Perhaps a 3D, turn-based environment with skinnable planes. Add-on paks could include planes, planes and scenarios/campaigns not included in the initial release.

    It wouldn't be easy, since flight characteristics for all the planes, as well as AA missiles would have to be researched, as well as radar and ECM measures to name a few.

    Perhaps one day...

    Master Maps are Masterful!

    Is 1:25,000 the preferred scale for original maps from which CM:MG are built? No matter what scale is needed, perhaps a section needs to be started on links pointing to these scale maps available on the net...just a thought. I will start it off -- doesn't pertain to MG -- but I am sure they can be as future modules/games are released.

    1. Approach to Saarbrucken Germany, March 1945 with key to enemy emplacements:

    2. Area west of Frankfurt a. Main

    Both maps a 1:25,000 scale
