I will take the TCP/IP slot!!! Mail it to me! When I get home I will post my ICQ# here so people can contact me so we can play tCP/IP. Thanx!

If BTS is doing the availibily option for CM2, then in 42 the T-34 should be much cheaper and avialibale in numbers. I think the price should be about the same as a STUG IV now, 95 points. Since the STUG AFV was the most produced AFV by the Germans in WWII. The T-34 was also the most produced so I think it should be cheaper than any other AFV the Russians have later on.

Think I'll say something too. For QBs I would like to view the map before me and my opponent battle. This way you can choose your equipment accordingly. I know sometimes the commander DIN"T get to see the terrain before, other times he did. Maybe there could be SCOUT purchase you can make,(before the battle) which would cost you points, maybe 50 points. This would show you the map. This would represent you sending a squad out or a scout plane to recon the area. How about that? In any case I just want to see the battle filed before I fight on it. Comments?

Jinxx, Welcome, I have SFC, it was a good game, but with bugs, I have the patches and it is good. But right now I devote my time to CM and DoD (HL mod) and TRIBES2 (GOOOOOOD). I would also want the ability of all the CM games to merge together so you can have all kinds of battles at any time. But for me it's not a big deal. I rather wait for CM2, knowing it will be better (in it's own right) than CMBO. I myself being a HUGE eastern front enthusiast, all the books I have relate to the eastern front . There is a lot to learn concerning the eatern front, becuase of it's enormpus size. All the different equipment ranging from the early battle all the way to the late, and heavy equipment at the end of the war. WHOOT, WHOOT, CM2 !!!!!!

Stalingrad comes to mind. It would be nice if someone made a HUGE map which was Stalingrad itself. This would fir into this GRAND scale thing of 10km maps. Huge number of units and re-inforcments. For this though, you would also need an etended number of battles per operation. So you can cover more time, maybe a 3 weeks worth of battle. That would be nice. Time to buy MORE memory!

Hey, I play Strategy games on regular basis next to CM. Operational art of war is my favorite strategy game of that scale. It did take a long time to get use to and understanding how it works. I spent hours reading the manual and playing tutaorials. I think it was well worth the time!!! I know it seems like basic checkers at first but, once you get into a game like OAOW (operational art of war) it's fun. There is more than just moving checkers, you have to set up defenses, gather reserves and place them at the right place. Moving whole Armies around in ORDER! I't great. At one time I was playing the HUGE barbarosa cmapaign as the Soviets. When it stars I got beat pretty bad, but I didn't hold anything, just kept moving back and sent all the re-inforcement I get SOUTH. Firstly I defeated the Fins North of lenningrad, it freed up huge ammounts of formations once I did. I protcted MOSCOW with small of a force as possible (the Germans got the by Septemeber, but didn't penatrate my screen), the majority of my trrops and material was South. I let the Germans and Romanians get a foothold in the crimea, then from the direction of kiev (which I still controled) I sent HUGE ammounts of formations and cut off all the German and ALL, ALL the Romanian forces in the theater. After I cut off and detroyed these formations, there was no other enemy formations left in the direction from crimea on to the west. After that I sent several formations west (in the south) all the way to Romania and Hunagry and capturing all the balkan states. It ended after that. I got OVERWHELMING VICTORY!!! That was SOOO much fun. Basicly you get plan just like the top notch generals and try to do the impossible in the worst situations.
