ASL aka Advanced Squad Leader. A squad level board game from Avalon Hill. Complex, very complex. I steal the line hehe
OTOH, there are a number of screnaroes coverted from SL/ASL to CM, make sure to check out:
BTT, I was thinking playing Thief Gold/Thief 2. I finished Vampire and Dues Ex before CM comes in (thank god they are both excellent RPG in 2000 ). And now, we have BG2. So these games are not quite installed -- yet:
Heavy Metal FAKK 2
Half-life Counter-strike
Grand Prix 3
Flanker 2.03 patch
Rainbow 6 Rogue Spear Urban Ops
Championship Manager 3 00/01 season
Worse, these great things are coming:
No One Lives Forever
Starfleet Command 2: Empires at War
Harpoon IV
Oni
Rainbow Six Covert Ops Essential
Panzer Campaign 3 (added)
A permanent girlfriend -- at last.

This is just in from my regular CGO wargame newsletter. Some food for throughts and hope to raise *real* disucssions:
Break-in vs. Break-through: http://www.cdmag.com/articles/030/168/breakin_feature.html

Pillar,
Not personal attack but there are a number of game-related issues like pillboxes and cas in ops are being issued. Some topics like "CM in PTO" and "Add TO&E chart to CM" are kinda dead horse.
I hope it is just silence before TCP/IP.

I always enjoyed the commentary on various 3rd party CM scenarioes and operations. Is there any working in progress? Or is there a web site I can refer to?
Thanks in advance.

Another dead horse beat:
Many suspect that motars (all sides) in 1.05 are too accurate against AFVs. Check some previous threads on this. My xp: In one QB against human, I killed 2 M18s, each within 1 min after targeted -- and I target the AFVs indirectly using HQ!
Back to topic: I have got my Hezters killed by area-fire motars and I vaguely remeber some did get PzIVs. I am not sure about the heavies.

BTS, too bad you are looking for CPP ppl only. Anyway, I am afraid CPP will be the basis for all gamings while Java takes over the other parts of the World. Hehe.
If the Bungie story was true, it would be the best cover-up since DES.
Anyway, if you are looking for some *more* ppl to look after your website or some research, I am happy to be in. (still not giving up...)

Try 2nd battle in "Villers Bocage", I bet there are at least 2 "units" of CAS to keep your panzers head low.

Just when I though my little Java skill won't help...then...please count me in!!! If you need an extra hand or pairs of eyes -- actually 2 pairs in my case -- in historical research, or even an assistant in handling web site let me know.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Big Time Software:
After both machines establish a connection, Combat Mission runs a few tests on each system to determine which one is "faster". The most important factor is how well the CPU handles floating point math, so don't be surprised if a 400MHz G4 is selected over a 800MHz P3 (OK, we were initially surprised, but there you go
). The faster machine is determined to be the Host and the other the Guest.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
If you are a regular reader of Tom's Hardware, it is not news that Intel is producing sub-standard floating point unit (fpu) in Pentium line of processors. The current throne to fpu in wintel architecture is Althon. Even the latest Pentium 4 is not in par in that department...
To be fair, P4 shines in 3d games areana!

Thanks BTS for the update again.
BTW, I think you should send offical words to various online mag about the new patch. I suggest you repackage the game as "Combat Mission Gold" so as to force those arragont mag to review it again!
I know this idea is evil.

Here is one official:
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Simply target artillery on the marker itself. That's all there is too it <http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/smile.gif> The benefits of firing on that location are automatic. They are faster fire for effect and greater accuracy. Any on map artillery/mortar piece that has not been moved since the beginning of the game can fire at it indirectly (i.e. without line of sight).
Steve<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Nope, personally, I have never tried one so. AFAIK, no LOS and HQ is needed. I am not sure about if it can also kill a AFV with 1 shot this way.
TRP has been discussed a lot since the Gold Demo days, I suggest you do some searches.
Hope it helps.

I "hate" to agree with Lewis that AFV in CMBO needs improvements especially chain of command in AFV.
Moreover, personally I really want to see imporvments in UI say organization and equipmnet chart on-line.
Sounds like I am beating a dead horse here.

Actually, as a owner of both Inter/Win and PPC/Mac platform, I would love to see more OpenGL in the upcoming CM2. Actually, quite a lot of Win PC games titles are running engines based on OpenGL -- from current BG2 (FX only) to earlier MDK2, from a user pov, my GeForce DDR screams in OpenGL mode.

Normally I drop my head on the table when my computer men did something stupid...Beilive it or not, I don't have much emotion over dead opfor AFV.
BTW, some of my favourite quotes:
"Can't get enough Tank?" -- from a Computerworld newsletter
"Nuts!" for historical reasons.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Big Time Software:
In theory, this is not true. An even number of points should equate to roughly the same number of units if each makes roughly the same types of purchase decisions (ie. same experience level, same mix of weapons, same size tanks, same artillery, etc.)
However, Charles just discovered a bug that could make the computer not use all the points at its disposal. Generally this bug affects both sides equally, but it is a bit more random when you look at an individual battle. This has been fixed for 1.1.

Oh, that will be great! Just keep us posted then

Another problem with QB with computer purchases -- US has identical or fewer units than the German opponent. One example is an about-to-surrender game with HPS verteran Scott Orr. We were in a meeting engagement and he has 2 PzIVH, 2 Sdkz253s, 2 Sdkz251 HT + 5 platoons (at least) and I jsut have 3 platoon of grunts + 2 M24 ;( | 1 M3 and 1 MG jeep....
Sounds like I am beating a dead horse here.
Back to topic: my limited exp in PBEM QB, I am not sure if QB is less favorable to the defender for I play mostly meeting engagement. I have to agree that it is very hard to make a "big win" unless the attacking side has less or no AFV in the battle.

Appearently, Mr. Borg disappears some time after trying to "assimulat" New York Times which publishes a thrunb-up article about CM, iirc. It is not impossible that CM Borg has disgestive problem forbidding his/their appearence here.

Any more CM scenario/operation reviews

Nope, I mean the treads reviewing various 3rd party scenaroies, not AAR. But reading good AARs is always an enjoyment.
