I've played with the demo... One thing I'm unclear on... where do you find opponents or arrange games? Is it simply a matter of connecting to the server and seeing who's around to play? I haven't seen any forum posts about setting up matches or arranging games... Thx in advance, Clint

I am interested in why so many people want to replay the Blizkrieg/early years of the war? (Aside from the desire to kick Nazi butt in '40) Would it not be necessary to hobble allied forces in some way, to duplicate the German tactical advantages. Certainly the two sides were not evenly matched in this regard. One poster stated he wanted to try the early French armour that was so poorly handled. To maintain CM's realism, it would have to force some sort of historical constraint on the French player, severely limiting how many tanks he could purchase (as the French had their armour parcelled out along the length of the front, not concentrated) I'm not disagreeing with an early era CM... but I think most people are assuming they could 'correct' the tactical wrongs of the actual commanders, and for a period game, this shouldn't be possible. Outdated and imperfect doctrines would have to be placed on the Allied player to make it significantly more difficult for them to win. It would hardly be realistic to play perfectly balanced scenarios... it was a terribly unbalanced period of the war. Western Desert/Med... I think those are much more viable theatres for CM. Advantage seesawed back and forth with missed opportunities and squandered advantages for both sides, so I think a really good and well balanced game could come out of it. My .02 This forum may be a lot quieter now, but at least that Peng tripe moved out...

Zero interest in the Eastern Front. (How can you tell the good guys from the bad guys??) CMBO... Canadians vs the 12SS all the way!! [ December 06, 2002, 06:22 AM: Message edited by: tailz ]

I'm with you ColonelD. It may be on the long range radar for purchasing, but I'm a west front afficianado (sp?) tailz

Anyone remember how long it took for them to sell out of CMBO the first time? Hmm... didn't CMBO sell out twice?

... still active... but CM can't compare to motorcycling in this weather....

Maple Leaf Forever is comes most readily to mind... if you need it, I have an excellent version from the 48th Highland Pipe & Drum....

Spot on X !! Historical results/debriefs would be a welcome addition.

...and why are your tanks fighting in cities? :eek:

Would one of the members of the pro-horse camp explain exactly why they want horses on the battlefield? (not to be insulting, I'd just like to know why and what they would do with them... bearing in mind, I don't play battles with trucks, or drag artillery around the battlefield either.) tailz

I like the idea. It would be a neat option for the editor. Would set some interesting limits on a German defend situation.

I play the Canadians almost to the exclusion of all other nationalities. (which works out well, because most of my opponents have preferred being the Germans.) I will confess that I enjoy beating up on the SS most of all. While I'm in the thread... anyone point the direction to some good Falaise Gap scenarios?

I was under the impression 'fuzzy logic' was when your wife comes home with a new white blouse (frighteningly similar to the three she has in the closet already), and when you point out that she already has THREE, she says... "It was on sale, you wouldn't believe what a great deal it was!! I couldn't afford NOT to buy it!" Tailz from the Darkside...

Good mod... I'd use it.
