For BBQ? Could I make pasta on it? BTW, under well heated by sun, any tanks could be a good "field kitchen". So much for OT.

Wait, did you count the rarity factor in?

Those crackers/lamers deserve this kind of treatment! :mad:

Humm, that may "explain" why in CMBB, tanks are KOed by infantryman when clearly they have no grenades left. Or is it? [ December 12, 2002, 09:04 PM: Message edited by: GriffinCheng+ ]

Still want to find the film mentioned. TIA.

self-serving bump for some lengthy comments from the Usenet posts.

OT: TB, care to have a QB PBEM?

Rob, Thank you for your info. Is the film you mentioned avail online or for sale? I read some "not-that-serious" (actually WW2 comics) accounts about German infantryman using tellermine against tanks. That is why I am asking. Appearently, this is not modelled in CM series.

As a "responsible" poster, there is a copule of follow-up at the thread over csipgw-h newsgroup and could be read online here, if you are still interested. T4YKA.

Okay, time to bring the source: Here are the threads: this and this and also th is ( Edited this message for making this thread look better ) Hope to give you more insight of my (mis-asked) questions. TIA. [ December 11, 2002, 07:55 PM: Message edited by: GriffinCheng+ ]

SO, thank you for the enlightening message. Yes, I was talking about Tellermine 43 (aka mushroom). Oh, I am not sure how frequent the mine is used this way. I now see it is not in CMBB. Thank you very much.

I know that already. I am talking about land mine that a soldier can carry around and toss it so the tank may roll over it and baam! That was what the subject says. Thank you very much! [ December 11, 2002, 04:59 AM: Message edited by: GriffinCheng+ ]

I guess it has been asked-and-answered (many times) before, may be in CMBO. Since infantry-vs-tank is abstracted in CM series, it is possible that a squad uses land mines (such as mushroom) as a means of tank-killing? TIA.

In my defense, I was just asking how large, in terms of terrian distance covered, historically did battles in the Eastern Front usually covered, in CMBB terms and second -- in case the scenario/operation fails to portrait proper tactics "options" for the player, whether it is the limitation of CMBB engine or it is the problem of the scenario/operation design. Clear/confusing enough? I ask this question from a number of threads over csipgw-h newsgroup (not related in all means by that infamous ex-BFC forum member starting with the letter "G", not me, of course) about various observations on CMBB-size. I guess the posters there were suffering the problem Seanachai described. I read books mostly on Med-front and well, many battles were over a klick. I think I get my points clear. And I get the answers, too. Thank you all. [ December 11, 2002, 01:00 AM: Message edited by: GriffinCheng+ ]

Hahahaha! Okay I'll be a good boy, then!

Mikey, you have just made an excellent quote: "Maybe its a bug, maybe its a glitch, but may be it's also historically accurate!" -- MikeyD, Dec-10-2002. [ December 10, 2002, 11:22 AM: Message edited by: GriffinCheng+ ]

I am not sure if others have observed this in 1.01 or it is already known. I am playing "GateKeeper" PBEM and once a Russian tank is targed by one of my panzer. I checked to see if the Russian tank is targeting my panzers too. On clicking the Russian tank, the line is yellow but that Russian begins *firing* while the target line is still yellow. Is it a problem? I am playing at EFOW. TIA.

(Author's note: This message is posted both on csipgw-h newsgroup and CMBB forum at battlefront.com. Please free to cross-post or redirect this to other locations one feels appropiate. The author takes no responsibility outside this post). May be I am beating a dead horse. I read here and there that CMBB engine (CMBO included?) does not fit well into Eastern Front combat situation for the engine cannot handle terrian large enough for "maneuver". I find this is something I may miss one out (after paying over USD50.00). I read very little (or lack there-of) about Eastern Front from the North African Desert is my main point of interest. I have no idea whether 9 sq. kilometers are too close for a "normal" or regular Eastern Front battles during WW2 to occur at something less than a battlion scale. Rather than playing fanboy, I would rather write and ask. And your enlightenments are most welcome. Interesting side observations, I have yet to come across reading if similiar problems exists in SL/ASL which recreates a lot of interesting battles in similar scale. (Confession: I have SL and COI but find nobody to play with.) Moreover, I am not sure if intenese urban combat took place in Kharkov and Stalingard fit into this picture. Or is CMBB is best to stay with this scale alone? I see no comments yet on Stalingard Pack outside CMBB Forum. And, I have played Close Combat 1 and CC2-AB2F but not CC3, does this one have this problem too? Don't get me wrong, I really want to hear unbiased comments. Playing the game and understanding more about military history can be 2 different things. I won't dump the game to eBay right out whatever, no thank you. I am having fun here. Thank you for reading and I am waitng to hear from your soon.

BUMP!

I don't like hugh battles but I like Rune's works. Keep it up baby.

Hey, I always thought the ultimate way of winning the game is telling your opponent to hit ALT+U and click YES!!!

Everybody should *bump* this thing more often.
