Kanonier Reichmann

I think if the halftrack was buttoned then the squad wont fire unless they have some means to destroy it such as grenade bundles, panzerfausts etc. Regards Jim R.

I'm thinking more apocalyptic myself....The horror!....THE HORROR! Regards Jim R.

Gee, do you think? I believe you'll find it was named after him but he certainly didn't invent it. Mind you, you did catch out Michael E. which is a rare event for a grog like him. He obviously wasn't thinking laterally enough when he put up his first post. Regards Jim R.

It changes everything. Regards Jim R.

Not if we've now got warning that he's coming. :cool: Just remember, you'll no doubt fit in very well here since I'm sure alot of our American friends perceive the general population as being so far left of centre that your Communist country indoctrination should stand you in good stead. As they say in the classics "Welcome to the Land Downunder. Where women glow and men chunder" (or is it "thunder"?... something like that anyway). Regards Jim R.

Thanks Andreas, I'll remember them for some future occasion that I'm sure will arise. Regards Jim R.

Can anyone tell me what the German word for gullible is? Alternatively, the German word for humourless? Regards Jim R.

Just to update the situation, 2 games are now completed with only my scrap with Mick Oz to go. Hopefully that battle will be completed well before the deadline once I can get this infernal study out of the way. Regards Jim R.

Thanks Mick. I see you found the answer to your original question. Regards Jim R.

Hi. I have heard somewhere that there are certain keystrokes one can hit which then allows CMBB to be able to be minimised by hitting the Esc key, just like in CMBO. Does anybody know what these keystrokes are? Thanks in advance. Regards Jim R.

Noooooooo! I want the command at the beginning of every game to allow one to rush their crews towards their tanks Le Mans style then hit the command to "start your engines". This sounds like incredible fun and on top of that, if some don't start then have the additional command to crank start the engine. I couldn't think of anything more exciting! Regards Jim R.

Hmmmm, makes you wonder why BFC deemed it appropriate to include pretty much useless radio cars yet didn't include Komsomolets(sp?) tractors to allow the Russians to actually transport their 76mm & 85mm AA guns. Regards Jim R.

Well I hope Mr Pengs post cleared all that up for you Rob. :confused: Regards Jim R.

M.T.... you're ignorant! Regards Jim R.

Hopefully Jim L. wont reply directly to your query Boris because if he lets on, then everyone will know that that particular game is possibly heavily biased in favour of one side and possibly may change their style of play because of this information. Regards Jim R.

You Poolers and your feckless threats. I've been sentenced to death by the best of you and I'm still kicking.</font>

Quick question. Can someone provide a link to the first thread? I did a search under the authors name but came up blank. I'd love to see what other splash screens are on offer. Regards Jim R.

Ummmm. Obvious question I guess. So how the hell did they get to where they're positioned in the first place? :confused: Regards Jim R.

Well done Chris a.k.a. Piatpunk. I didn't realise you were still interested in the Combat Mission genre but had devoted yourself to Airborne Assault instead. Thanks for helping out Gunslinger whom I'm a big fan of due to the wonderful job he did with the original Combat Mission game via his initial ground breaking mods. He set the standard for other full game mod artists to follow IMHO. Regards Jim R.

I would also assume the killing shot was on the Tiger's side or rear which is also relatively vulnerable when compared with its frontal aspect. It is not the all killing behemoth that legend has us believe, especially when caught out up close. Regards Jim R.

Regarding the Bob Semple...imagine BFC trying to model the angle of penetration from an incoming round as it hits those corrugations. Mind you, seeing as it looks like it's simply corrugated iron why bother. Just about any round will penetrate it. As for the best looking tank. Call me parochial but I'll nominate one out of left field- the Sentinal. An Australian designed WWII tank that could actually mount 2 25 pounder guns in its turret in one of its later incarnations. Unfortunately the marque never saw any action as it seemed we were able to source American manufactured Shermans alot easier than building our own (despite over 100 Sentinels being built). Regards Jim R.

Just finished Rat Labs. All I'll say on this battle is that the foibles of night battles came into play to a pretty large degree. Regards Jim R.

Shouldn't that be spice? Or am I getting confused with something else? :confused: Regards Jim R.

Errrmmm, excuse my ignorance... who the hell is Bukowski? Regards Jim R.

Come to think of it, so they were. Just use Soviet troops as they fought on the Communist side, didn't they? I'm sure there would be very little difference between Soviet forces and Finnish ones. / / / / / / / ....HIT THE DIRT!.... Regards Jim R.
