http://www.battlefront.com/products/cmc/index.html website is still around, but i do wonder why they dropped it from development slot

hunter i sure hope you guys get barbed and trenches to work - i would almost say it's crucial that they stay on the map permnanetly after deployment

I found one of the greatest draws of CM was the absurdity of the detail. I loved going through all the different countries TO&E and seeing what they really used in action. I think Syria with minimal story would be my vote. I like to learn what they would use, how they would organize themselves, etc. I actually found the original CM educational because it gave me an excuse to open a book once and awhile to read about events and equipment.

The optics definitely work better at night for germans. They absorb far much more light. Infact, I do not think "standard optics" even covers magnification.

oh no a game isn't striving for ultra realism, it must suck

will you guys be doing a beta demo, like you did for CMBO (or maybe i was imagining that)

is it too difficult to scroll and look on the left side of the battlefront.com main page

When a vehicle such as a tank loses all it's fuel, what happens in the battle screen? Do they all start immobile?

Have you... used it? It seems pretty self explainitory. It just cycles through all the targets the unit can currently see.

does this game even exist is it swamp gas floating in the crimson sky

Does the # of air assets indicate how many air strikes you get?

I wonder what the huge WW2 project is?

Which is what makes it worth playing. </font>

I don't think they could ever develop a system that will be perfect, especially for something like Combat Mission where there are many more variables than something like Total War series. That being said, I hope it at least lets us crush much lesser forces. In TW you would occasionally get a fluke battle where it was very obvious you'd win, but you ended up losing your best general to a pack of peasants...

please continue these updates they tickle my appetite

im crossing my fingers for a release this year, to be honest

... the release of CMC. The end.

You know, even if you can't control airplanes, this is an excellent addition. Extremely excellent!

I imagine "move" is more combat cautious than "travel", and "travel" being everything hitched up on trucks / motorcycles / whatever.

HQ's seem to embrace fanaticism much more than whole squads. I've seen 1 guy, with just a rifle, take a barrage of rifle fire at close range and continue to fight. It's probably just sheer luck that it's worked out that way, where I've seen HQ's get it more than squads. It's REALLY obvious when it happens, however. Your men throw out a ton of ammo and barely react to incoming fire. They don't necessarily act on their own heroicly, they just absorb the elements almost invincibly.

Yeah, just because they're treating them for wounds does not mean they treated them well afterwards. They just get dumped into camps after they have showed their worth in intelligence. The camps they were drug to were almost as bad as concentration camps.

I have virtually no idea how CMC will turn out and I've never played a RoW tournament in my life (although I've watched enthusiastically), but can I be put on the questionnaire reserves list? I have the free time to play.

What happens when you lose transportation equipment? Does your speed get averaged? For example: You have a convoy of half tracks with infantry inside of them. A 81mm strike comes down on them and they lose 3 of the 12 half tracks they started with. You'd have 3 squads moving at 1.0 speed, and 9 moving at 5.8 speed. 3 + 5.8(9) = 55.2 / 12 = 4.6 speed total?

I do remember them saying they were almost positive of an early first quarter release. I'm a little baffled that they came across problems enough to delay it past that. I would love to have a real progress report, as this is one of my most anticipated games of 2006.

Whatever the smallest campaign included is. I'd like to get use to the system without being overwhelmed. Then I'll spend months with friends playing another campaign.
