Gamey or not Gamey (or just another rant from kollos)
Kingfish replied to kollos's topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>In my opinion, there are NO such thing as a gamey tactic.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> The first three words in that sentence are all that really matters when it comes to gamey tactics. ------------------ Charlie don't surf! -

Feedback on "Relieving the Rangers"
Kingfish replied to John Kettler's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Actor, Did you play against the AI or a human? The reason I ask is that I was John's opponent (he still calls me by my old username ) and I used a different strategy than what the AI would have used. ------------------ Charlie don't surf! -
An open letter to BTS...
Kingfish replied to Capt. Lortie's topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
Just curious, can someone point me to the thread where Steve or Charles were impolite to someone? I've been here since Feb. of this year and I haven't seen one. -
Oh, don't mind that. It's just God. ------------------ Charlie don't surf!

Gamey? What is that?
Kingfish replied to Suicides-by-Steve's topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Twice now, I've had units near the edge come under fire and break. They then run off that map edge, making themselves unavailable for the rest of the game.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> A while back I was playing VoT against Freyland. During the battle I watched an entire platoon of his bolt off the map edge. To this day I don't know whether it was due to my fire, or if they were trying to escape from participating in his pathetic and laughable attempt at an attack. ------------------ Charlie don't surf! -
Gamey? What is that?
Kingfish replied to Suicides-by-Steve's topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
One thing to add to Pham911's definition (which is right on the money). Gamey is a relative term, in that one person might object to what you did, while another wouldn't care. Don't assume that someone is cheating just because he uses tactics in a less than realistic manner. Afterall, it is just a game ------------------ Charlie don't surf! -
A Case For Full Squad Representation
Kingfish replied to Hamstersss's topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
And just out of curiosity, would you would want a body shown for every guy killed? And if not, would someone that does be wrong in asking? Afterall, he would be asking for the same reason you are asking for a full squad rep...Realism. ------------------ Charlie don't surf! -

Tactics inside buildings
Kingfish replied to BottleRocket's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Not much you can do except sit back and watch. Assuming they are full strength squads, then you are talking about 40 or so men blasting away at nearly point-blank range. I'd hate to be the guy in front ------------------ Charlie don't surf! -

Why won't HT fire 75mm on it's own??
Kingfish replied to Phoenix's topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
I'm not sure if this matters or not, but did you check to see if the gunner for the 75 is buttoned up? ------------------ Charlie don't surf! -
Shug! Tu es el Hombre' Thanks for running the test. As a token of my appreciation, I’m going to level the town of Cambes and kill anyone wearing a grey uniform. Do you know who has been using those damm Jabos against me? Take a guess. ------------------ Charlie don't surf!

What is meant by a double blind op/scen?
Kingfish replied to a topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
When Neither player knows anything about the scenario, other than what info the scenario brief provides. ------------------ Charlie don't surf! -
Hmmm... I'll have to ask my opponent about the number he purchased, but I don't think he got 2. Going on memory, this is what he had for the first battle: 1 M4 Sherman (can't remember the gun) 1 M7 priest 1 M18 TD 2 M8 A/C A couple of HTs A co. of infantry Possible he had some arty support, not sure The above was a 1000 pt attack QB with me as the defender. Now, IIRC, a FB cost something like 300 pts, so is it possible to purchase that much hardware and still get 2 FBs? I'm at work now, so I can't run a purchase test. Anyone cares to find out for me, I'd appreciate it Thanks ------------------ Charlie don't surf!

Question: How many bombs does a fighter-bomber carry in CM? IIRC, it is 2 500lbers. The reason I ask is that in the two times I've seen FB used against me (Damm you doc!)the plane would make two bomb runs, but each run resulted in two huge explosions each side of the target. Did a search, read plenty of posts about how lethal they are (to both enemy & friendly units) but couldn't find any payload info. Anyone know for sure? Thanks ------------------ Charlie don't surf!

Poll - What's Your Favorite German Tank?
Kingfish replied to jpinard's topic in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)
That H39 is one damm fine tank! I had 4 of them lay down suppressive fire on a conscript MG team, and after four turns they actually made him duck his head! I am fully convinced that Wittman would have driven the British to a second Dunkirk if he was given an H39. His talents were wasted on the Tiger. ------------------ Wow, I've had the **** hit the fan before, but never like this...
