Well, I really want to get this one, but I won't either because of the "dropped connection" nuisance. I d/l the Gold demo hoping it would fix this, but I got dropped after around 2 minutes. I give up.
-
I agree, Manta. I haven't been able to play a single online game yet. Disconnects every minute or so. Frustrating to be sure.

Hey Rune, how are you?? Have you had any luck with McAfee?? I cannot stay logged on for more than a minute or two without losing connection. I've tried the demo campaign and made it to turn 2 with great difficulty. I tried disabling my McAfee firewall software and I had the same results. I'm guessing disabling should allow anything through--no??? I'm really starting to like the demo now, but am still on the fence due to these issues. thanks.
edit: Forgot my specs:
Win XP 3.4Ghz, 1G RAM
Linksys wireless router.

Double post--sorry.

Looks awesome!!! I made shoulder patches back in the CMBO days. Haven't modded in quite a while. Now I don't have too..thanks.

Yes, the same one. His cousin (Giles) commanded the 2nd Battalion, Irish Guards under him.Originally posted by Cromwell.:Joe's Bridge on the Escaut Canal - still a Vandeleur.

Allied HTs do seem overly sensitive to MGs. I made a scenario to practice taking out a bunker. I used an MG bunker and assaulted it with Inf mounted in HTs. I don't remember the ranges, but all of my HTs got taken out with the MG before even getting close. I thought this was odd at the time.

yeah, Grog fight. Sigh. Anyways, here is something to lighten you up. Taken from "An Army at Dawn" by Atkinson.
In a phone call one evening the corps commander (Patton) grew incensed when Ward (CO 1st Armored) mentioned his good fortune in losing no officers in combat that day. "Goddammit, Ward, that's not fortunate. That's bad for the morale of the enlisted men," Patton snapped. "I want you to get more officers killed." Ward was dumbfounded. "Are you serious?" "Yes Goddammit, I'm serious. I want you to put some officers out as observers well up front and keep them there until a couple get killed."
BTW, this is an awesome book. Thanks to Grog Dorosh for turning me on to this gem.

The 509th Parachute Infantry (separate) stayed in the Italian theater but wasn't used much (if at all) in 1944. It was used to guard 5th Army HQ after being decimated in previous battles.

Yep, this burned me too the first time. I knew this was something different from CMBO (don't have BB). Missed it in the manual too.

If you mean the one above where you can d/l the demo for CMAK, I believe it is a US M3 Lee firing on what looks to me an Italian M13/40.

Where is this pic located?? Not sure what you mean.

I took out the Stug easily. The Tiger really surprised me and cooked off most of my armor. The 2 Sherms I had left smoked the bridge and I charged across with my engineers. (I was fairly certain that I had neutralized all German infantry threats. The Tiger destroyed one HQ and routed one squad, but I was able to get an HQ and an engineer squad past it into the woods. The next turn my engineers took it out with satchel charges. Great stuff.
I would say you were very lucky, indeed.

I like the Convoy Raid firefight. I made one, but never could get the AI to move the convoy on the road properly. I'll be interested in seeing yours.
-
I recall an old game by Electronic Arts (I think) called Seal Team. I had loads of fun with it in its Vietnam setting.

Just posted a new scenario at the Depot. It is loosely based on a Tobruk Firefight (small engagement) called "Battery Overrun".Originally posted by Brent Pollock:Okay, just went to the Scenario Depot and found...almost nothing for CMAK. It's been a few days, gents...where're the Tobruk conversions...don't tell me I'll have to get off of...I mean ...stay seated on my lazy butt and do them myself over the X-mas holidays.
-
I, too, like the QBs. Very fun. I have only been playing against the AI so far, and will likely need more of a challenge. I try to avoid the larger battles as it tends to bog down my system. Mostly, I stay under 1000 pts (usually 800 or 500).
I am currently about halfway through Flak Front and it is pretty fun as the Germans, but a little too big.

Go to CMHQ for a chat room.

Thanks, Matt.

I like Uncommon Valor but (sadly) lack the time needed to put into it.

...........where did BF get that cool painting of the Grant Troop on the move that graces the main screen of CMAK? It is awesome..

Any way to Mod the tanker faces to include goggles?

Lobby/game disconnects
in Down In Flames

yes, I'm having very frequent disconnects. I think its related to my wireless Linksys router. When I loaded it on my wife's computer (directly connected to cable modem) I had no problems. Mine, no good.
What's your specs? Wireless by chance?
