On a further note, the number of the turn doesn't really determine whether or not I attack an enemy-held VL. If I feel that I can take a VL, and it's in my best interests to do so, I'll take it, whether it's the first turn or the last. If there's a problem where someone is clearly being silly, ie charging crews and AT teams at a VL to contest it at the 50th second of the last turn, then don't play them again. IMO it's pretty easy to tell when someone is making a real, good faith attempt to play the game, and when someone is just making a last-minute VL grab. ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.

Screw all that, I want CM liquor. CM cigarettes might be nice too. CM porn, CM gambling, hell, the mind boggles.

I most likely won't be there until 7-7:15 either. I've got a couple of books to read for tomorrow and I need to do that before I get sloshed. ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.

I'd reply that there were plenty of times in which everyone from Ike down to GI Joe realized that we have to do this and we have to do it now. And yeah, as people have mentioned, there were plenty of commanders who said "take that hill by 0930 or by God I'll find someone who will." Well, Market-Garden is one big example, for one. If the paratroops had been a little bit quicker to reach the railroad bridge and the Germans had been a little bit slower to blow it up, what would have happened? If XXX Corps had gotten up the Nijmegen-Arnhem road a little bit faster? If they'd been able to get across the Wilhelmina Canal a little bit sooner? Or look at Crete. What would have happened if Student had committed his reserves an hour later? I don't find the time constraints of a scenario to be gamey at all. I think it does give me a sense of urgency and purpose. I know damn sure that I'm going to take a lot more risks if I have half an hour to take a town as opposed to an hour. That said, I do think that you have to make sure that the time frame suits the scale of the game you're playing. I find that 30 minutes for a 1500 pt battle is about right. 2000 pts and I usually go with 45 minutes. ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.

DITDITDIT DITDITDITDITDIT DITDITDIT UPDATES...FROM THE FRONT! The bold forces of Chupacabrismo march ever onwards, delivering crushing blows to all who stand in their way! The Guy From The Country Which Beat Up The America's Cup...has challenged me to another fight, this time an operation. Therefore, his Red Devils will be getting slaughtered by my SS hamsters on Mr. Wilder's tidy little Arnhem map. Let the gorefest commence! FollowTheYellowBrickRoada has this nasty habit of letting his infantry get blown up in buildings. That's what, half a platoon now? More to come, I'm sure. Boreiarty: The carnage continues. The challenge now isn't to see whether I can send his sissified American degenerate welfare queens packing, but whether I can do so without taking any casualties. Because boy, that would be neat. Dr. OuchyMcGrouchy hasn't sent me a file in a while. Maybe because he's hiding something????!!!!??? This concludes this edition of Updates from the Front. ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.

Oh, and WB: I was just in Montelimar recently, so I'll be very curious to see how that one comes out. ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.

Good, well, at least it's not just me...

Yes, the * and ** symbols relate to the amount of damage the building has taken. * is light damage, ** is heavy. I don't believe they're meant to represent a specific "damage percentage," though. After all, your guys in the buildings don't know any better than "hrm, this building looks kinda rickety...Sarge, maybe we'd better leave, huh?" There's no information in the manual because this feature was released in a patch after the manual was printed. Check the readme file, this'll all be mentioned. Cheers ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.

And I'd like to thank you for taking the time to keep putting out high-quality work, and for adding immeasurably to the game. All of your scenarios have been a pleasure to play (if occasionally leading me to believe that you're an evil, sadistic man ), and I look forward to whatever you cook up next. Cheers ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.

Coupla nitpicks - A lot of people think the Eastern Front was more interesting than the Western, actually. I'm one of them Also, RE: the Battle of Berlin. Well, there's a good reason this wasn't included in a game about the Western Front - the Russians captured Berlin The Western Allies weren't directly involved in the Battle of Berlin. This isn't to say that I wouldn't buy another CM-based West Front game if it were made, but I would rather see other campaigns covered before the West is revisited ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.

Try also http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usamhi/DL/chron.htm They've got a ton of stuff on US Army tactics 1944-45. Not all is applicable to CM for various reasons, but there are some useful nuggets. ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.

I like the site, except for one niggle - Is there any way to disable the Geocities banner which pops up on every page? Alternatively, could you please hold Geocities' web designers hostage until they get rid of the bloody thing?

I desire to continue my general trend of blowing my wad early and then shuffling about like a zombie for the last ten turns, periodically stumbling forward into kill zones. I sure lost the last one. Your little green men were magnificent! And have I mentioned how staggeringly freaking handsome you are? How about an operation? I've never managed to hold my concentration on something for more than the two seconds it took me to parse: Edible? Yes/no If yes-eat, if no-ignore, so it will be interesting to see if I can do so without my brain exploding. Double blind would be good, take you pick, something interesting.

The Tiger seems to be fully restored, and is, as Peter said, enormous. Much bigger than I'd expected. ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.

Considering that most Allied tanks have armor that gave rise to the term "paper-thin," what good would a 128mm gun actually do compared to an 88, or hell, even a 75. Answer: not a whole lot. I'd rather have a couple of Mark IVs. ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.

CargoLoada - I will continue to address you however I damn well please squire. To be blunt, you are bad and dumb and ugly, and I am good and smart and handsome, and RHIP. If I choose to address you as FrogAndToada or VirtualBasicCodea or FinelyAgedGouda, you will salute, say yes sir, thank you sir, may I be of service sir. That is all, squire. ------------------ Soy super bien, soy super super bien, soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super.
