Pvt. Ryan

I found a picture of the cover art on the Battelfront ftp: They still have to add the graphics, so I can't say for sure what the title will be.

Italy vs. Somalia

I bet it will be Operation Overlord, with the Finns on the Allied side and the Canucks on the Axis side. I also bet Dorosh's head will explode.

That wasn't very knife.

1. Space Lobsters 2. Pacific Theater 3. Horses 4. Bicycles 5. Suckage

Shall we refer to you as the Candian States of America from now on?

So, we'll get to invade Doroshburgville?

Which are which is for you to decide.

BFC has sold approximately one copy for everyone who purchased the game.

Elite German snipers didn't wear puffy blue stars as uniforms, so I'm thinking that image may be Photoshopped. But, if that is a picture from CMx2, my worst fears have become reality; the first title is CM: Hello Kitty.

My hip hurts.

Well when you find some logic in that, just let me know. </font>

I think most of us would welcom a Civil War, Napoleonic War, Korean War, or WWI setting. It's the potential Hello Kitty game we are concerned about.

There could be a module called Combat Mission: From KP to Sock Mending

Can you imagine what it would be like if they had started this forum months ago like some people wanted? Steve, this thread is for predicting what the first game will be (which, of course, will be WWII ). Maybe we should start another thread where we post our lists for the first five games. Or maybe...

That's all I'm asking for. Well, I'd still like a pony.

I'm sure they have an ample supply of postcards.

I think that's the best solution too.

Don't use that term. Charles may hear you.

Would you prefer that wounded soldiers vaporize into thin air? When squads were abstracted it wasn't an issue, but with 1:1 representation it has to be addressed in some way.

What if you represent WIA as a soldier lying down with a red cross on his chest for the remainder of that turn. The marker would then be removed on the next turn. Or you can have an animated soldier crawling away for a certain period of time (e.g. 30 seconds) or stays on the screen for the remainder of the turn and is then removed on the next turn. Obviously it takes more than a minute to evacuate a wounded soldier, but at least the wounded soldier is visually represented in some way without causing the other propblems mentioned.

Maybe a solution for WIA would be to have them lie where they fell (motionless or writhing in agony) and then have them fade away representing their evenutal evacuation or treatment. KIA would not fade away in this case.

"Revenge of Combat Mission: Space Lobsters of Doom" or "Return of Combat Mission: Space Lobsters of Doom", whichever is more appropriate.

I love these threads! It's so much fun to predict what BFC has in store for us. Based on what Steve has posted I think it is undeniably clear that the first game will be set in the Pacific theater of WWII, with the follow on modules covering Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, and Midway.

I predict nothing but a padlock. This has been done so many times and is pointless.
