  1. Gentlemen, It appears that first link is not functioning correctly. I get a "Error; Item not found" message. The second one works fine! Cheers!
  2. I think it's a great idea. Put me on the bandwagon.
  3. David, Operations are the most intense, nail-biting, immersive aspects of CM, in my humble opinion. And Rick is exactly right, the only problem is that there are'nt enough of them. Well, there might be another problem in that the wife tends to get very icy after you spend 12 hours out of every waking day playing them! Cheers!
  4. Hate to throw even more fuel on the fire, but I just got done with a scenario in which something very strange happened along the lines of this discussion. Seems I had a King Tiger(SS) parked in a village about 100m from a house. Couple of turns later, a Sherman presented itself just on the outskirts of town. Drawing a LOS from the Tiger to the Sherman, I noticed that the line appeared to go solidly through the corner of the building, but still gave me a clear shot(light blue line) at the Ami. I thought that was odd, but what the hell, a shot is a shot. I targeted the Sherman and hit the go button, whereupon the Tiger proceeded to get off three quick shots, each of which impacted on the CORNER of the building and went no further. After the game turn, I checked LOS again and sure enough, was assured that I had a supposedly clean shot. Hmmmm... Don't know what it all means, just wanted to add my 2 cents worth. By the way, I was just curious as to wether or not my wifes divorce lawyer has gotten in touch with you guys at BTS yet? And to be certain that you understand that the preceeding was meant in jest (and at the risk of of a good Penging) I include this:
  5. I have been playing this game for about a week now and while I simply cannot imagine life without CM (ask my wife), there were certain things about SL/ASL that made it very, very special to me. One thing I truly miss and will probably never experience with CM was the camraderie, the excitement, the boredom, the arguments, the sheer thrill, and, dare I say it, the good ole' male bonding that happened when four or five good friends would gather around a table made of sawhorses and 4'X8' plywood and play with TINY little counters for hours and days at a time. Sigh... I really miss those days. Neal, if you're listening, you would have LOVED this game.
  6. Charles, it worked!!!!!!!!! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!!!!!! You are THE man!!!!
  7. Four attempts later and still no luck. I've tried everything I can think of and I still have no scenarios after installing the patch. This is really starting to burn my cookies! Charles, Steve, somebody, Help!!
  8. OK, please assume for a moment that some of us are not computer literate at all. After tranferring all BMP and WAV files to appropriate places (using drag and drop, by the way) I then cut and pasted(as per a previous post above) the new CM application file to the CMBO file. I then deleted the old one. I created a NEW shortcut (Because using the old one resulted in version 1.00). However, when I hit the new shortcut and the game says it has loaded version 1.01, I now find I have absolutely no scenarios. Can anybody explain (In simple, one syllable laymans terms) exactly how I am supposed to do this correctly. I would like to add that I have patched many different games before and all those patches were self-installing, thus the current head-scratching. Thank you.
  9. Hitler a "world famous artist"!!??!! I have seen photographs of some of his work. Aside from being very mildly interesting as architectural studies.........he sucked.
  10. Oops! O.K. Your advice worked perfectly! Thanks Moon!
  11. Nope. Can't get a single one to download! Just text that looks Russian....
  12. Hey Moon, what gives? When I click on the "Download Here" button, all I get is a couple of lines of text that look somewhat like Cryllic....??
  13. Hey that sounds cool, aka! Right now I've got my system going through a very nice Sony amp and Marantz speaker combo. Can get really loud. I just realized that I have a pair of Peavey stage monitors downstairs in my basement with horns and 12" speakers that would probably crack the drywall in the computer room! Hmmmmm.... NNJ..."F*** all that, we gotta get on with these!"
  14. Mirage2k, the analogy goes like this: Junior Member: Member:: Raving, Slobbering, Lunatic, Gotta Post Something Maniac Member::: Naturally, I will use no smilies in this post as it is only two away from the illustriuos MrPenguin, whose distaste for the vile, self-fornicating, little beasties is a matter of public record. NNJ..."F*** all that, we gotta get on with these!"
  15. I've already made it abundantly clear to friends and family that if they want to play CM against me then they had better pre-order a copy. If they choose not to do so that is just TOUGH NOOGIES. Nobody touches my copy but me. It's mine, ALL MIIIIIINE, MWAAAAHAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.... Andrew W. B. Smilies!!??!! SMILIES!!??!!! We don't need no stinking SMILIES!!!!!!!
  16. The tank may be the king of the battlefield, but the infantry is surely the queen. Chess game anyone? NNJ..."F*** all that, we gotta get on with these!"
  17. Gentlemen, Never has so much been written about so little by so many... In this case, you may rest assured that I would not dare to inflame the oh so tender sensibilities of you, my esteemed comrades, therefore, know that my tongue rests firmly in my cheek. (Isn't that much better than a smiley? So much more genteel.) NNJ..."F*** all that, we gotta get on with these!"
  18. Iggi, my goodness, but you are a devilishly handsome fellow! As far as the topic goes, of course only MEN play this game! After all, we are the masters of our domains, the kings of the castle, the wearers of the pants in the family. Everyone knows that women are the inferior sex and that they have no head for the detailed thought processes involved in a game like CM, and besides.....whats that dear?...yes, I'm listening...of course you're right...... Well, back in a while guys, gotta take out the trash, do the dishes and give snoogums a toe massage.....yes, I'm coming, dear...what's that?...of COURSE I can pick up your mother at the airport... NNJ(Whipped like a dog)... "F*** all that, we gotta get on with these!"
  19. Most impressive, young Skywalker...uh...wait a minute.... You guys really CARE! I'm getting that warm, fuzzy feeling inside! And Maddmatt, that is one delicious POTD! Great work all around! Thanks! Germanboy, you'll be happy to note that all smilies that may have been used in this post were stuffed into a canvas bag which was then weighted with several stones and dropped off the end of the local pier. NNJ..."F*** all that, we gotta get on with these!"
  20. 6-7 times a day. Think about that. 6-7 times a day, everyday for the past year or so. If I should somehow find a life, would anybody here with any experience be willing to show me what to do with it? I know I need help, but psychotherapy is sooooo expensive. Germanboy, all smilies that would have been used in this post have been buried up to their necks in the back yard and run over with a lawn mower. NNJ..."F*** all that, we gotta get on with these!"
  21. It's 11:05 at night. I just woke my wife from a sound sleep because I was laughing so hard. Man, is she pissed. Gawd that was funny! Thanks Babra! NNJ..."F*** all that, we gotta get on with these!"
