Just post here if you want me to send it to you -Jaldaen<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Sure I'll try it, just let me know what side,if any, that I should play it from.

Thanks all, I will check these out and see how well they play against the AI.

Thanks for the reply Rune. I've got everything you've done to date, but assumed that since the majority of them have TCP/IP mentioned in the description that they were for 2 person play only.I think I'll try some of them now, as I've read a lot of people rave about how EVIL they really are!

Looking for some challenging scenarios that can be played by one person against the AI that has plenty of surprises. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Also I would like to see if anybody might like to try a pbem or TCP/IP game. Never tried it so I don't know what to expect or how it really works. I've only ever played hotseat with a buddy.(and frankly he's not much interested in strategy games and sucks at it to boot!). Oh I have a crappy dial-up connection so I'm not sure if this affects play much or not. Thanks for any and all replies. :cool:

I really wish I could get a cable connection where I live, this dial-up sucks! Fantastic looking mods are coming out faster than I can download and install them. What's a poor country boy to do? :eek:

Wow, still a junior member,not that I'm a LURKER or anything.

Are Rune's scenarios any good to play against the AI or do you need to play them against a human opponent? I don't seem to have much time to play much against a real human, so most of the time I play against the AI.It is a bit of a challenge to find good scenarios that work good as a one player scenario. Any good 1 player scenarios out there that anybody knows of will be much appreciated, Thanks. :cool:

Dead Cows!! I've seen lots of photos of the fighting in Normandy and there were alot of dead cows and horses to take cover behind. Heck, in SPR they even had dead cows!!

What I really am wondering is if I will be able to change a squad's inherent small arms make-up, either in future releases or Mods? I tried a search on this and found nothing. Also if some of the more obscure small arms will be added later for specific units. In particular, the FG42 for Fallschirmjagers (probably spelled that wrong), the U.S. Airborne carbine(which had a folding stock and wasn't as good as the regular carbine),the U.S. Grease gun( which saw some action near the end of the war), captured Panzerfausts(read of an account of an U.S. 82nd Airborne unit capturing a truckload at Nijmegen and using the left-overs at Bastogne) captured German ATMM (Russians used captured supplies of these to a limited degree),etc,. These weapons saw little action, but I was hoping that we could manipulate the editor in some way to change the allotement of weapons that a squad has for specific scenarios and operations. Does anybody know if this is going to be possible in the future?

Hey sniperscope, are the flame throwers any better than they are in VoT? I must have played that scenario 30 times and I have never seen the flame throwers do anything! I have tried hiding them, crawling into good positions, mad rushes, you name it, I've tried it! I've even tried rushing as the Germans to a known computer flame thrower to see if it would flame me,... nothing. The flame throwers are always killed without getting off even 1 squirt. It doesn't seem to matter how suppressed the enemy is, he's always got just enough guts(and wits) left to stick his head up and kill the flamers. So I was wondering if the flame throwers seemed to be able to do more now than they did in VoT or if anybody has some tips on how to effectively use these units?

Its only a couple of weeks away.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Like every good Calgarian, I try to stay as far away as I can from this event every year. Although I do like watching the rodeo highlights on the evening news. Nothing personal but I just find the Stampede far too expensive for my tastes, if I want to get ripped off I'll plunk my money down on another C.C. rehash. (I'm a bit of a sucker for these as I have Close Combat 1-4 and get more dissapointed with each release. Kinda like going to the Stampede each year)

Hmmm, Combat Junkies comes to mind, as I'm sitting here waiting desperately for my Combat Fix to arrive in the mail.

Never heard of it, but in a similar thought, anybody ever heard of or played EMPIRE for the Atari 800? I believe that was the first computer game I really enjoyed.( Besides Star Raiders that is)

Ugh, another boring weekend in Cowtown! Oh well, I never expected it until next week anyhow. Keeping my fingers crossed that it arrives next week before the long weekend.

I don't have THE GAME yet, but my vote is the bigger, the better!!!

I was wondering if, in future releases or Mods, different specialty squads would be made available. What I mean is are Cossacks, Commandoes, Pioneer Battallions, etc, where the troops had a totally different squad small arms allotement(and the Cossacks rode horses as transport). Or be able to manipulate the allotement in the editor. I did a search and found out why some of the more obscure small arms are not depicted (i.e.FG42 and the grease gun) due to time constraints and all but will you be able to model them at all? The reason I'm asking this is so as to be able to design a specific Scenerio or Op. For example, the Raid on St. Nazaire and also Stalingrad. I know that next on your plate is the TC/IP patch and then CM2 Russion Front, but is there any way in the future that you have plans for being able for us to change the inherent squad small arms make-up?

Hey Fionn, do we get to read about you getting your butt kicked by Bil in an upcoming AAR? It would only be fair, that is, if this is the same Bil that got his butt kicked in "Sunken Lane". It would certainly be entertaining nonetheless, as I would like to read about how you react and think when the shoe's on the other foot.

Bbrrr!!! Ugh, the one thing I don't like about these pictures(being the frost-bitten Canadian boy that I am), was that it reminded me too much of the coldness of winter. Now if you add on little breath clouds, I'm gonna have to wear a sweater when I play winter scenarios. I hate Winter, thank God it's Summer.

...unless customs sticks its nose into it. Shhh!!! Don't want to jinx us. Customs get hold of it, ships it to the Government and next thing you know, we gotta register the damn thing before we can claim it! By the way, nothing in Calgary but hopefully with a 3-4 day delivery, it will be soon.

That was great, kudos to you!! I too sang along with it to get the full affect. Similarily, I was listening to Dire Straits "Money for Nothing" song this morning and starting adding my own words....I want my,...I want my CM-Deee(isc)!!! I will have to try to come up with a whole song.

Will BTS be sending out an e-mail notice saying you've been billed or only sending you a notice if they had problems charging to your card. (i.e. expired card, etc.)Just wondering as I have received no news from them except to say my pre-order had been verified awhile ago.

I know who will be last, me!! That's just how my luck goes. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.

Believe it or not, I have not been able to get even one of my good for nothing, useless friends to DL the demo. They keep saying they're too busy with their own lives right now. Looks like I'm gonna have to get some new friends. Baa, too busy, my butt!!

Newbie as of May, 2000

I just applied a few days ago and I've already heard back from them.
