Due to some good fortune for the next year I will be commuting to Dallas, TX for my new employment. I was just curious if any of you worthless bastards live in that godforsaken hellhole of cow dung and poisonous vermin. If so we should hook up for a Coors shudder or possibly...er perferably something better. Let me know you grasshumpings sods. Deepest regards, Jeff

You need to setup you defense so that it has inter-locking fire. You problem sounds like he is able to isolate your defenses and kill them piece-meal. That is bad. Inter-locking fire goooood. Jeff

Flamethrowers DO Work!!!

Gamey bastard. In "reallife" fires don't burn forever and block all passing and LOS. They sometimes burn good... sometimes bad.. sometimes fast.. sometime slow... sometimes you can get through on foot.. sometimes not... sometimes a vehicle can drive or even see through it.. sometime not... CMBO doesn't simulate this... [sarcasm] Remind me never to play you. [/sarcasm] Jeff -

Mismatches in CMBB QBs?
jshandorf replied to Michael Dorosh's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
As far as I know having the computer pick your forced doesn't result in an "over-pick" but can result in an "under-pick" by some factor. I guess this was bad in earlier releases but BTS has shored it up some. Personally I am still not happy with it since if you play a QB at 1000 points or under and have the computer pick your forces the German players hardly gets any schrecks let alone one. On may occasions I have gotten no AT support and only a HT with a few hollow charges... Very dissapointing. Jeff -
Air Support! Is it worth it?

To me FB just ruin the game... Either they are a waste of points because they don't show up or when they do.. do nothing usefull or they show up and wipe out the enemy, which to me takes all the fun out of it since that I what I wanted to do, and not have some AI controlled Jabodo it for me. Jeff -

The problem isn't with screening FT teams. The problem is that on the attack they move fo fricken slow and inevitably you have to move them through some enemy fire and when you do they just die like rabid weevels, fast and messy. Jeff P.S. Ooo.. but don't get me wrong.. on the defense they can rock... Stick when with some infantry with maybe a barbwire fence or a mine field in front of them and watch them route the enemy soldiers.

I think I will or something. Oh and BTW, Joe, while you are driving down in Texas watch out for those "Road-hobos". I hear they go right through your windshield and get lodged there until they bleed to death. Jeff -

Why the hell do you need a keyboard for a penile implant? And I suppose the more disturbing question would be, where do you plug that keyboard in? Jeff -

If you're going to have light to moderate casualties, then you're nancy boys should have all the flags and shouldn't have sat back with your infantry cowering from a damned Hetzer! I haven't had anything more than a routed Company HQ with 1 guy left and LOW ammo on his .45 for 10 turns and that lone guy hiding under a rock has kept your reinforced battalion at bay the whole time. I had 2 Hetzers and slaughtered your tank regiment. I also saw you pick your nose and eat it while we were playing TCP/IP you dingo-dipping bastard!</font> -

Stuka, if you are gonna go running around trademarking catch phrases and words than I want the phrase, "You SUCK!". It's mine dammit and don't be fooled by that imposter Hiram-Short-Hairs with his bogus "SUCKS to be YOU" line. He a nancy, pancy fan boy, that is all he is. Oh and BTW, I am kicking Crudda's ass in a QB. I am attacking a town and I should have 3 or 4 flag out of 5 with light to moderate casualties to boot. Oh, and Shaw... You SUCK!. Jeff -
Invitational Tourney (Part III)
jshandorf replied to Treeburst155's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
ya know, I have almost aged a year since we started this tourney.... sheesh... Jeff -
Just a thought but I have been reading a new book I picked up called "Panzer Aces" and it seems that the Germans were only able to overcome the Soviet heavies, KV-I and T-34, through superior command and skill, and this was magnified by the Russian lack of command and skill, atleast early on in the war. Therefore any Russian player worth his salt in tank tactics is gonna have a field day in CMBB when he has a couple T-34s or KV-Is and all the German player is able to bring to the table are PzIIIs (longs and shorts) and possibly a few Pz-IVs with the short 75. Is this just a spin with the allies in the west and the germans in early 1944 or are the Germans at a decided dis-advantage in CMBB from '41 to late '42? I wonder if the rarity option can level the table a little here? Just some thoughts... Jeff

Panther availability late 43, early 44?
jshandorf replied to Battlefront.com's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Oh god... how melodramtic... what a putz. Lets back to some more useful Panther availability data... Jeff -
Funny but I picked up "Panzer Aces" last Sunday. I was just browsing a Borders with some friends and saw it. Fron my reading it is my understanding that the Germans just used superior training and command to defeat the Russians in most cases early in the Russian offensive. They would obviously have to since the book mentions on several occasions that they were figthing in late '42 and early '43 with Pz IIIS still. Pretty amazing considering the Russian tank they were up against. Jeff

jshandorf replied to Battlefront.com's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
The PzIV could not be significantly improved upon. First off the chassis and the turret ring could not support any more weight NOR force. Therefore up gunning the 75mm to anything larger was not an option, and that is not mentioning introducing another ammunition variant for this "new" gun. And if you are thinking you could just slap a 75mm/L70 on there spare us from laughing at you and don't even bring it up. Also putting anymore armor on the turret was also not an option since the PzIV couldn't support anymore weight. If you going to up the armor on the turret then you would had had to up the suspension and chassis in general. And, hell, if you are going to do that why not just build a different tank? Like say the Panther? Besides by early '42, or possibly late '41, German tankers and commanders were demanding a new tank let alone an up-gunned and up-armored PzIV. And Germany realized that well trained and well skilled tank crews were A LOT more valuable than any tank, so keeping them alive was a priority, and therefore the Panther was a priority. It is just that simple. Jeff -
