Thanks, Bill, for the thoughts and for all the excellent scenarios you and the gents have provided. A good holiday to all

Undoubtedly the BEST CM mod I've seen yet! [This message has been edited by Gadget (edited 11-18-2000).]

One * means light damage, two * is heavy damage, and the bldg may collapse real soon.

Just take the comma off the end of the URL and the link works fine...

Add one more . . .

Just finished d/l them. These are incredible. The more I look at the first, it DOES look like a photo.

I'll usually reward myself with a few pints of Guinness when I win. Then again, I always console myself with a few pints of Guinness when I lose.

Just so's ya know, Tamiya's 1/16 Tiger 1 runs about $700US (list $1300!) Check Model Expo at modelexpoinc.com search on product # TM56010 Some of the description ... <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>The ULTIMATE R/C TANK! Be the commander of Germany's famous Tiger I WWII tank! You'll experience the sights and sounds of this legendary war machine as you start the engine, track the enemy, set your sights and... fire! The motor roars at a deafening pitch. The tank lumbers forward, reverses and pivots. The massive turret moves into position. The main gun fires with a shriek and a flash...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Here ya go ...

Deanco I'm still using your excellent HIVIS interface, I prefer it to Grog. Haven't tried healthbar yet, but ... BTW, POW and TG are quite useful - even after playing CM for awhile. [This message has been edited by Gadget (edited 11-07-2000).]

While looking through B&N I found: Atlas of WWII (ISBN 0-7607-2043-6) reprint of a 1995 tome showing overall maps and some div/btl info ... and Tank vs Tank (ISBN 0-7607-1966-7) an illustrated history of armored warfare. The maps here look potentially useful, and some good photos and specs. 13$US each. Both B&N reprints of older books.

Ever more impressed every time I see your work. Simply incredible!

Trotter's review in PCLamer (June?) also convinced me to d/l the CM demo, and I ordered it the next day. Also, in the Nov issue, reviewing a Medieval wargame (appropriately titled "Medieval") he quotes the developer as saying "Games like Combat Mission are the tip of the iceberg for the future of wargaming ..." Why are some idjits knockin' CM? Got me! They should go back to cardboard counters and dice (maybe I could sell my old AH and SSI games to 'em!)
