I need a good operation
Kanonier Reichmann replied to Titan's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Whew! For a moment there I thought you were looking for a cut price appendectomy or sumfink. Regards Jim R. -
Crappy Russian Tanks
Kanonier Reichmann replied to Major Disorder's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Judging by the way Major Disorder described that firefight at 1,900 metres and then the 2nd one involving the IS2, I have a fairly strong suspiscion that the Soviet tanks had a hide order in place in an attempt to reduce the chances of detection. Assuming Major Disorder is relatively new to the game he may not know that the game typically keeps AFV's on hide for far too long even when a threat appears in their sights. Once again, all guesswork on my part but I believe the result would have been very different if the respective Soviet tanks weren't hiding. Of course, if Maj. Disorder confirms that his T34 & IS2 weren't given hide orders and is being true to his conscience, then I take all this back and please ignore as irrelevant. Regards Jim R. -

Sorry about that Bertram. That second Panther was pure fluke! I'll take it however. Regards Jim R. -
One thing we know for sure H. He's not the kind of person that old Winnie once put down in Parliament(was it Chamberlain?) by describing him as a "Sheep in sheeps clothing". Nosirree, not the Corporal. Personally I think he should change his rank to "5 Star General Carrot" to properly reflect his true ability. Regards Jim R.

Turret Rotation Sounds.

Funny, I thought it went something like....pocketa, pocketa, pocketa, pocketa, fatang, fatang, ole' biscuit barrell. Regards Jim R. -
How Grog are you? German Opel
Kanonier Reichmann replied to Commissar's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Mmmmm....very stylish conversion that. Who needs rear spoilers, side skirts and mag wheels when you can have your very own Holzgaser unit taking up the entire boot space. :eek: Regards Jim R. -
Another Disputed VL Flag Mod
Kanonier Reichmann replied to Ex Bellator's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
So Charlton is a "Commie". Well, I'll be. Just goes to show, appearances can be deceiving. Regards Jim R. -
Well, I can certainly vouch for Matthias (Noloff) that in my game against him (PBEM) he conducted himself in a first rate manner and his general demeanor through discussions via email has always been above reproach IMHO. To give an indication of his character he devoted a large amount of his time to translate an original German WWII manuscrict into English for Greg Dorosh with no reward other than the thanks he received. To me, this speaks volumes for the man. Regards Jim R.

My view is that the breach is very minor and has only occured with respect to long time and honourable players. I certainly don't have any problem with the situation and hope it can be resolved succesfully so that the tournament can continue. BTW, H... I seem to have raised my enthusiasm levels to a point where I should be in a position to send you a setup for the Grinch battle by tonight. Regards Jim R.

Re New Purchase & Patches
Kanonier Reichmann replied to Glenn's topic in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord
I'm almost certain that the version of CMBO you'll receive will be the latest version (1.12) but the CMBB version on your CD will probably still be the 1.0 version. Mind you, by the time you receive then we're hoping that the ver. 1.02 patch will be out (expected within the next wekk, fingers crossed) so you'll simply need to do one upgrade to bring it up to that spec. Regards Jim R. -
Let's hear it for CMBO!
Kanonier Reichmann replied to GWDWD's topic in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord
No, I don't think you're on crack. CMBO is probably a more enjoyable game for a non grog because it plays more like a game. CMBB is more realistic and therefore more of a simulation rather than a game, which can be tiresome to some because of the extra work you have to put into it to play CMBB well. Regards Jim R. -
You're kidding me aren't you. What with EFOW and MG's which are now much more effective and altered behaviour from infantry which makes them panic under fire much more readily you reckon defending is hard to do? :confused: Bear in mind that there's a blizzard blowing as well, I can't think of conditions that can be much worse to attack in. As for the Corporal, we haven't really clashed forces as yet but I'm sure it wont be long at all so we'll have to see on that front. Regards Jim R.

Hi-Res Faces Mod *Preview*
Kanonier Reichmann replied to Grabenhund's topic in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord
What grass mod are you using? BTW, those would have to be the longest potatoe mashers I've ever seen! Seriously, I think they're very good but one query I have...was it allowed in the German army to have a close cropped beard only around the upper lip and chin area? I think it's a good idea to have stubble all around the face to give the impression of harried troops not properly rested but a close cropped beard like that one does not quite look right IMHO. Overall though, a very nice mod. Regards Jim R. -
Master Goodale vs ParaBellum AAR
Kanonier Reichmann replied to ParaBellum's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
I agree. Unfortunately it will be the last man on the Soviet side only rather than the German side. Regards Jim R. -
Please patch my CMBO!!!!
Kanonier Reichmann replied to Panzerfaust's topic in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord
Excuse my ignorance...what is an "mp" bug? Does "mp" stand for movement points, multi pretargeting, mobile probing..what? Regards Jim R. -
OK. The $64 question. Is this behaviour of IS 2's typical of heavy tank crew doctrine during WWII when compared with tank crew doctrine for medium sized Soviet tanks? When we have the answer to this then perhaps we might have some ammunition to take to BFC to consider making alterations to Soviet heavy tank behaviour. Regards Jim R.

Just an update. Rear Guard Action, Hosszxytzskzjyli..thingy and The Beast are all underway. Michael D., I plan to be able to return to you my setup on Friday night to get that one underway. H. Your return setup probably wont be done until the weekend as you were the last cab off the rank. Mind you, I'm not exactly looking forward to it judging by the briefing. Regards Jim R.
