Hi Bumrush,

Thanks for the clarification Glad to know you enjoy Combat Mission overall.

As wonderful as different languages are, can you imagine the problems this BBS would have if people spoke their native languages? Here is a list of languages of posters that I know of off the top of my head (in no particular order):

English

German

French

Swedish

Italian

Finnish

Dutch

Danish

Norwegian

Croat

Slovene

Polish

Chinese

Spanish

Australian (hehehe couldn't resist )

Yeah, it would be pretty colorful to have eveybody speaking their native languages, but oh boy... would that make things a little tough on those of us who don't know 20 languages

Thanks,

Steve<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

BOY we pay you good Aussie dollars and you pick on our near perfect accent.

PS and to boot you didn't send our games out first!

[Any Queensland, Australia players?]

I'm from Melbourne, I was an optimist thinking maybe Monday the 26th, however after BTS post yesterday it will more likely Monday 3rd July, but hopefully I'm now a pessimist.

PS Wouldn't be fun if we got it before Benny M.

[Faster processor or more RAM?]

Stuka, I have P2 233 with 80 meg of ram and v2 3d graphics card, sb16 and the demo runs fine apart from the already mention glitches of the v2. the frame rate is fine never had any hang ups at all. I was going to upgrade just for CM but it a hard to justify $800.

[UPS Delivery]

Thanks for the quick reply but yet a another positive the lady I spoke to at UPS sounded really good looking!

[UPS Delivery]

Not knowing very much about UPS here in Australia, I decided to call their local depot in Melbourne. I was pleasantly surprised when I started to chat with their very helpful call centre lass, she explained the UPS delivery system, which brings me to the reason for this post. Will you kind people at BTS be able to supply a Package tracking number on despatch of the game, so we can ring our local UPS depot find out what day the parcel will be delivered so arrangements can made to be home on the day.

PS Us Australians can look on the positive side of things, if this game was released through the normal inept (bloody hell spelling block with this word) Distributors we would have to wait 4/6 weeks or longer for the game.

Thankyou BTS Great demo and no doubt greater game

You northern hemisphere people are dills, the nets were developed by ANZAC forces to keep the large flys down this way from landing our faces

[US arty in VOT]

I have been fiddling with defensive tactics in this scenario. I am playing the jerries with 25% advantage to the US. The problem is no matter where I hide my squads the arty seems to efectively rain down an accurate barrage every time. I have started with the same setup every time, but withdrawing my squads to different location each time. In about five starts the arty has but decimated my squads. The first 4 times I thought what bad luck, however after the last try It aint just bad luck. Steve & Charles please don't be offended, but something seems to be amiss.

Situation. I withdrew C & D squads to the base of feature 198 along the shore of the lake and hidden. This location, there is a LOS to nowhere to see any squads you would need to be very close to them, however between turns 3 and 6 the US arty rained down a devastating fire pattern eliminating most of my squads. My quetion is how can the AI drop artillery into an area without clear line of sight within 40 or 50 metres of the target area?

Sorry about the bad grammer in the last post

should read " don't know if I had any kills"
