  1. ramsbottom 6% ale from derbyshire way or anyother real ales i can get,if not i nick the missus alcoholic irn bru
  2. OH great me an my p11 233 look doomed and i aint got the game yet
  3. Regarding monty and the ardennes,their is a book out about the British and Canadian troops who fought and suffered terribly in that region. For you Americans read A Blood Dimmed Tide,its an excellent first hands account of the Bulge,which im going to design some scenarios from For us Brits im designing scenarios from..The Border Regt,Arnhem At the moment only on paper due to as like yourselves no sign of CM
  4. ive used the flamethrowers in vot,one managed to get into the village,lots of smoke n suppresive fire first though,i set fire to one house and toasted a part german squad,tried to flame panther with last shot but got wasted by infantry,the effects were brilliant.Only done it once,usally they get wasted before getting in range
  5. owen,how about a pbem game when it finally arrives,by then youll be prime minister and ill be banging on about my pension and free teeth
  6. Ok,now here i am sat in good ol manchester,england,reading all the posts about how good Cm is,ive downloaded all mods,scenarios n updates.One more week or more before my CM arrives. I cant take the waiting anymore,so its goodbye cruel postal services of the world......kaboom....smack...damn missed,next time stick barrels of shotgun in mouth not the stock.I WANT MY BLOODY GAME NOW ............................................. i,ll show you where the iron crosses grow
  7. Ordinary germans knew of the camps but not that they where death camps until too late.However how did you complain?.A Lot brave germans went into those camps through complaining,the knock on the door fear was real and if as i said you lived in that time you where powerless to do anything. Germany has nothing now to keep asking for forgivness,do we weep for the 10 million russians that stalin killed,the irish my country starved and persecuted,the indians the americans wiped out or back to the mongol hordes wiping out entire populations. Ive visited and served in most countrys around the globe,ive never been treated badly or looked down on because i was english,however if i acted out of that countrys rules and etiquette i would expect to be punished or treated badly We read of torture and mayhem every day and go tut-tut not nice,then turn to the sports pages or the comics and forget about it,probably the same thing most europeans did pre 39 .We all have the head in the sand mentality if it aint happening to me then its cool,now please close this thread before it degenerates
  8. the reason the poles where shot up at arnhem,and these poles where anti/tank and support troops, was when landing,the drop zones where under attack by germans.the british paras where confronted through smoke an fire by a group of men screaming in a foreign language,no time to ask as the poles also where firing as they ran,as they had no idea where the shooting came from.The actual casulties where minimal
  9. it actually took a million rounds of small arms to kill a soldier in ww11.Not that each soldier had a million fired at him,and how the statisticians came up with that figure i dont know.Having been in a armoured regiment if i was buttoned up and had a squad of men 15 metres away,dodging an weaving id be more likely to have shot thin air
  10. im interested in this thread,however i feel that should anyone who wasnt present at the time be able to talk correctly about it.I dont mean that we cannot have our opinions,but to quote my father who fought in burma and returned home in 1946 ,sick with fever and suffering for many years,when i asked him about it,all he could say was my eyes tell the story,he liberated americans and brits and canucks from their death camps he said what he saw noone would believe nor would understand. We lost our house in birmingham and a bomb disposal crew when the bomb went up,i lost 2 uncles and a cousin killed in various actions.I feel too much is spent on blaming people for the actions of their goverments or blaming people for what happened 60 years ago,the death camps are in action still,so is political oppression and torture,wars through race go on.YOU can try to stop them now,or in 50 years you will be blamed as our forfathers are
  11. bail our arses out?????? is that a strange sexual practice you do mr mantaray -------------------------------------------- its better to die standing than on ones knees tommy cooper
  12. ok guys lets quit bitching about who has got the game and who hasnt,who ordered first or last.WHEN did activision or microsoft write and explain anything about a game in detail,ive been wargaming for god over 30 years(yes im old).Ive designed games mostly cardboard counters and some figure ones.Ive never met a company like this who have put so much love,time and their own money into a game.To complain about receiving a game a couple of days late,and remember us non-americans maybe 2 weeks away is really a diservice to bts.
  13. cheating is for losers,there again stuff it,get a calculator /personal organiser an put answers into that -------------------------------- ill show you where the iron crosses grow ------------------
  14. 73mb youve been raiding the scenarios like me and updates downdates pics n anything cm related. water cannons prob best modelled by armoured flamethrowers,there again why use water in the first place,come on belguim use petrol. -------------------------------------------- 30 years of hurt never stopped me dreaming...sounds like waiting for cm ------------------
  15. im sitting in england,planning a scenario based on our recent foray into europe,now i need a street map of charloi? also are supporters with chairs heavy infantry or weapons squad?? ............................................. not a happy bunny
  16. ok,as we will have to suffer for another week,id like to know who gets his first in europe
  17. ok,as we will have to suffer for another week,id like to know who gets his first in europe
  18. zulu dawn.incorrect uniforms and weapons and poor dialogue,cy endfield who did zulu died before zulu dawn was made,however the film stands out for the attack at the camp,whilst they didnt have the 20000 that the zulus did,it portrays the assault brilliantly. cross of iron is for me the best world war 11 film,spr is ok for the first 30 mins but becomes a bit hollywood after that,typical mix of men,bad germans etc etc
  19. ive downloaded the patch,and now spend happy hours looking at the folder containing it.Must be a first this, happy getting a patch for a game before the game!!!! --------------------------------------------
