31. Egad! How time flies. Could have sworn I was in college none too long ago.....

I'll try it as well. gayers@earthlink.net

I like Binkie's suggestion! :eek: All day or weekend CM fest. That would be cool!

I live in San Bruno. (just outside SFO) If there's a gathering, let me know. E-mail is number_21@yahoo.com

I concurr. What mods are you using? I like the buildings with the moss on the side. :eek: :eek: :eek:

Got Wesley Clark too. Of all the Generals, I would get one I knew the least about.

Just saw the movie this afternoon. I thought it was ok. Definitely started better than it ended. In terms of language, I didn't mind the British accents as much as some English terms used, like "you look smart in that new uniform". Also, it seemed awkward that all the other Germans outside of scenes with Ed Harris spoke German. I think it would have been better to have Ed Harris speak German with subtitles. At least it would be consistent. Would have enjoyed more battle scenes to better portray the massiveness of destruction and suffering that occured in Stalingrad on both sides, but the days of movies showing more than a couple of big battle scenes are gone. I doubt we'll ever see a movie on the scale of A Bridge Too Far in the near future. (CMII will have to satisfy that urge.) Surprisingly enough, the love story didn't distract me as much as I thought it would. As others have said before, there were women in the Russian army so it doesn't feel too Hollywoodized. My two cents, feel free to agree or disagree. ------------------

Just want to give a hardy welcome aboard to Mimary too! Gives me hope that I may be able to convert my current S.O. to playing the game. I've got her watching war movies already and she's interested in watching me play TCP/IP. Slowly but surely I'll get her hooked.

My father was a captian in the Philippine Air Force during WWII. He was captured at Corregidor and passed away in 1998. It's my tribute to him.

I'm game too.

Sounds interesting to me. Count me in. I prefer allies, but I'll take anything that's available.

Actually the Blockbuster near me did have Stalingrad in the foreign film section, but only on VHS. I know Best Buy and Fry's carry it if you want to buy it.

Hmmm. Ok, that I can accept. Just sucks to have 3 sharpshooters and an enemy in one building and no one shoots!

Okay this is wierd.... I tried an interesting scenario using only sharpshooters. I wanted to recreate a rifle squad entering a town and trying to flush out enemy snipers. I had 4 Axis Sharpshooters in the town and 11 US sharpshooters posing as individuals in a squad. As the scenario goes on, of course a couple of my men get hit out of nowhere and I scatter my men. I get a lucky kill with some area fire after one of the snipers exposes himself. This is where everything starts to go wrong. For the rest of the scenario, if the US sharpshooter has a clear line of sight on a target and targets the enemy directly, HE WILL NOT FIRE! Hello?!?! If I chose area fire around the target, he may shoot, but it was not a guarantee. Anyone else have this problem with sharpshooters? It seems strange because the Axis sharpshooters had no problem picking off my men. =(

Awesome! Just awesome! Let me know when the winter textures are ready!!!

How about a picture like the one on the cover in front and on back: Got CMBO?? Kinda like the Got Milk ads.

Damn! Was that a crack Hetzer crew???

Got to agree with everyone else. I was just in a PBEM and my 1 M8 got 2 Hetzers. Granted, one was immobile at the time, but still. I was able to race around the other one before it had a chance to rotate (they're pretty darn slow) and got a great flanking shot.

Major Belles, Please forgive me for what I may say, but why do you even play wargames if you don't like the thought of shooting AT people? I looked at your profile and I see that you are developing a game based on the Civil War. A war which was the bloodiest in terms of Americans killed in American history. What do you think you are creating, but something that represents people being mamed and killed, yet alone shot at? It seems an awfully silly hobbie of choice. It's like saying I work for a meat company and I'm designing a new meat grinder, but I can't bear the thought of someone actually putting meat into it. Does it not occur to you are quite hypocritical. Sorry to go on with this, but I was just so dumbfounded after reading your post, that I had to reply. Like I said before, please forgive me, I'm not trying to insult you at all, but I would suggest a different hobbie all the same. [This message has been edited by Capt. Ayers (edited 01-03-2001).]

Voted.

Yeah Tris, that's exactly where I was looking. What do you think, PF790 or for $200 more go for the G810? It's not flat, but it is 21".

Thanks for the help! You're right, it is a good system for now. I'll probably just upgrade my monitor. (Gotta have a 19") =)

I've got a similar question as Aussie Jeff regarding upgrading. Currently my system is ASUS MB w/ Intel 440 BX Chipset PIII 450 Viper 770 Ultra 32mb I'm looking to upgrade to PIII 800-850 Annihiliator 2 Ultra AGP Will my MB be able to handle these?

Just voted.
