Is the whole TGN site gone? Did you know something like this was going to happen or have a premonition of this?

The TGN Scenario Depot is gone for other games as well, not just CM.

I don't know if any of you noticed it, but the magazine, PC Gamer has chosen CM the best turn based game, not wargame, of the year. Quite an honor.

Go over to the RD Ladder and sign up. You have to play three games before you're in the ladder but everyone is easy going and friendly and you can challenge people from different experience levels.
The address is, www.Rugged-Defense.nl/cm/cm.htm

Titan, we can zip our files if that would help. Do my pbem files have this on the bottom?

I'm wondering why someone could'nt do a rubble tile with partial walls standing where you can see through the rest of the rubble tile like the bridge tiles?

You can use the mods in the demo, but not the scenarios. I know it's hard to wait but go back and play the demo to hone your skills so you will kick butt when the game comes. Join the RD Ladder so we can have fresh blood.

Any of you old-timers remember "Twelve O'Clock High"? It ran consecutive with "Combat" and, if I remember correctly, what killed those two shows was the public backlash against the Vietnam War. There was another one that was a comedy called "Mr Roberts" after the famous film, it died from the same syndrome.
I think a miniseries would be a possibility as long as an anti-war theme played out in the stories.

On your first question; I too had problems with a jerky picture but after updating my video card this smoothed out. I have a processor of similar speed and power and I can run the game but large and huge scenarios are slow for me. Do a search on video cards to find the pros and cons of each type.

As far as the time it took for a battery to occupy a position and lay the battery, don't forget that in WWII most German artillery was horse drawn so it probably took longer to move the guns around.

I just picked up Age of Sail 2 today, (which is pretty cool!), and on the disc was a movie trailer of a Talonsoft game called GI Combat. It looks just like CM except it's a real time game. It gave a link to the site which is coming soon www.gicombat.com It's due out in the fall.
Give us a report on Age of Sail II, please.

People are always going to commit evil acts in the name of some cause whether they call themselves neo-nazis or something else. Evil has many faces and as long as men are evil they will do these things. Don't ever stop speaking out against this wrong no matter who shouts you down.
Because we play a war-game that depicts the German military in WWII does'nt mean we all condone the act you describe. We must remember to love one another as we would like to be loved. If we each do our part we can overcome evil with good.
Don't ever hate because of what someone else does because then you become one of them.
God bless.

I know. I accessed it last night and everything was working fine. It's nice to get in quickly and find what you're looking for.

Since the Pershing tank did'nt appear in Europe until February, 1945, I'm wondering if they even had a winter camo scheme.

Wayne,
I think you are confused. Combat Command is an operational level wargame using an intertwined "YouGoIGo" system.
I am trying the demo now, it looks OK so far, except I don't know half of what is going on because of a lack of rules.
If anyone else is trying this out, or doing the full version, I'd like to to email with you about it.
I always preferred this scale in board wargaming, and so far CC2 (Combat Command 2) looks pretty good.
You're right, I was thinking of "Close Combat". Sorry for the mistake.
Could someone tell me the difference between "Combat Command" and "Operational Art of War"?

I have'nt tried the full game because I was dissappointed in the demos, 1 and 5. Most people who have played CM for any length of time are going to prefer it to CC.
CC greatest weakness is that you can't interact with the units once you start the game. In CM you can issue orders and change events. In CC events happen randomly and you can't change anything once you start the game. CC may have been good for it's time but I think it's outdated by more recent games, even Talonsoft's Campaign Series is better than CC.

When Hollywood makes a war film and calls it "Battle of the Bulge", I think they have a responcibility to try and tell the story as truthfully as possible. In this film, this was'nt done. It's a matter of respect for the men who fought in this action to be as accurate as they can be. I don't expect them to get every detail right as to the vehicles being right or the uniforms exact, but they should tell the story as it happened and not make up a bunch of nonsense just to add excitement.

M26 Pershing Winter Mod
in Combat Mission Archive #3 (2001)
Posted
Is there a need for the Pershing to have a winter mod since the Pershing came into the theater in February of 45 and saw combat in March of the same year? Hardly a reason to paint the things at the end of the winter, best to leave them as is.
