Yeah, like dfgardner, I would also like to know where the 109-G (Looks like a G) is located! There aren't too many 109s left in the world and I am very curious where this one is!
Also, any know where any Fw190s are located?
Thanks,
Jeff
P.S. I love you, Steve. Marry me.

I would recommend a subscription to "Grog Porn" from Tiger Leather Press.Originally posted by Squadldr76:Ok, I have a question for the historians in here. I've been here reading things that people have been posting about the war ranging from infantry to various guns carried by the tanks to that great post JasonC (I think that's who it was) wrote about the StuG. I'd like to know; where in the world do you find all these intricate details and how much study did it take to achieve the level of knowledge that you all possess? I like to think I can hold my own when it comes to discussions about WW2 but I come here and the amount of information I can find is amazing at times. I'd just like some starting points on where I can get into some of this detail that people here have.
Thanks for any information you'd like to share.

Don't you mean French rifles?Originally posted by Captitalistdoginchina:They say that in Italy you can still find plenty of white flags, most are well worn though
On the other hand you can still buy original Italian rifles - never been fired, dropped only once;)
Sorry, guys, couldn't resist!

Oh wait! It was that damn FOG ME, where you bought a fricken battalion of paras and no armor. You bastard! I remember that one!
Okay, I will be sending you a battle where I defend. Same parameters as usual... No flak wagons, or Fighter/bombers. That is it.

What? Can't you change diapers and play CMBO with one hand? Sheeesh... Besides, you got to start kids on war stuff when they are young.Originally posted by Ben Galanti:Came through fine. Just a warning to you and Ari, I'm expecting a new baby any day now, so I may go mysteriously silent for a little while... Though, who knows, I may actually get more CM in since I'll be up all night anyway
Ben
Congrats on your successful procreation,

Well, maybe if he hops into the new gamey thread Steve will come to his wit's end with him and cast him in to the pool of oblivion.Originally posted by Marlow:OK, what is the current over/under on how long until Chief Iron Bottom gets banned?
We can only hope...
Hey, Butt-low, lets play a game. I miss you being my bitch. Setup coming your way tonight.

The way I see it is that you said he "might" advance to that position so you flamed it up. The way I see it is that you are using the game engines representation of an "area on fire" in a gamey way. The reason is that in CMBO squares on fire are completly impassable, which is totally unrealistic.
Fire is a variable, and areas that are on fire behave differently. Some rage out of control and are totally impassable while some just burn alittle and alow even infantry to carefully pick thier way through. So in effect you are using the "impassable barrier" effect of fire in CM to your advandtage which falls under gamey.

If it just didn't have that one totally crappy game where I lost all my Panthers and Jadgpanthers to those incredibly lucky Church VII and Cromwell shots. *grumble*Originally posted by Jarmo:And I'll only need 67 points in my last fight to pass Shandorf.
Hell, I've been on tighter spots before. Never gotten away intact, but I've been on tighter spots...
I think I am gonna send Ari a setup. I want to play him again.

I like the StUGs over the PzIVs. The PzIVs have that really weak front turret armor which makes it vulnerable to the the 37mm gun. The StUGs can shake off the 37mm alot better. Plus the gun and the ammo loadout are basically the same and the STuGs are about 22 points cheaper.
Jeff

Just be warned.. If you play any ladder person and they pick the Allies count on them to pick the British with the following units...
British Paras.
Church VIIs.
Wasps.
And plenty of those really cheap 4.2 inc mortars...
It just gets old pretty fast if you ask me... especially if you like to pick historical loadouts, like I do now. Hell, when I play the Amis I usually pick Vanilla American rifles and lots of Shermans... Yeah they suck... but it's more fun that way.

Holly Geehossafats! You guys are still prattling on about how the WWI doctrine resulted in men being stacked like cord wood? For the love of God, Micheal, JasonC's posts are painfully too long to read anyway, please quit egging him on.
Oh, and BTW, Micheal, you must have been one of those kids that poked the caged monkeys until they flung their crap at you, because that is what you are doing here but only in a more grown up way. Good job.

It's obvious why he is so good, he sold his black hearted soul to the demonspawn that resides below. He is evil. Pure concentrated evil. Think that back sooty rock at the end of "Time Bandits" evil.

When a unit dies... be it infantry, AT-GUN, AFV, or whatever.. If you have spotted it previously and you "kill it" or "KO" it, it will show up so that you can click on it. It is just the way it is... I can't explain why it is just that way. Only a minor problem if you ask me though..

And technically CMBB is a WEGO system, but I suppose you could think of it as turn based.

Operation Desert Storm was the first conflict to see the extensive use of DU munitions and armor. The new DU rounds gave coalition forces a marked operational advantage. Unit histories from the Gulf War contain many anecdotes attesting to the effectiveness of DU "silver bullets," as they were called by US tankers. One armor brigade commander described looking on in "amazement" as his soldiers—who in training had never fired at targets beyond 2,400 meters (1.5 miles)—routinely scored first-shot kills on targets out to 3,000 meters (1.9 miles) and beyond. Scales, Robert H. Jr., Certain Victory: The US Army in the Gulf War, Simon & Schuster, Pocket Books, 1992, p. 293.Originally posted by JasonC:4 km is beyond the effective range of a TOW wire guided missle. It is farther than M-1 Abrams rated effective range - also using a 120mm gun, firing from a stable 70 ton platform.
I wouldn't say 4,000 meters is the absolute limit.

Better than sex? F*ck no! The girl I am currently dating is a f'ing bade! In fact not just a f'ing babe, but an uber-babe. And if I had to choose between watching VT arty explode on my computer screen and watching her exploded on me, I would choose sex every fricken time. My, god, man.. TURN OFF THE COMPUTER, AND GET OUT OF THE HOUSE! Pleeeeease, for the LOVE OF GOD!
Now with that said... VT arty does rock. My first introduction to it was in a 4500 point game with Fionn. He had 2 of them... He decimated my attacking force.

Then what you are saying is the SMG squads are not gamey it is just that your opponents force mix unhistorically. Big difference.Originally posted by Iron Chef Sakai:I'm not saying SMG squads are always used gamey, but 95% of the time they are. I'm not disgruntled for losing to them or anything, i always win against gamey opponents, it's quite easy, but it takes away from the fun of it all for me.
Keep in mind this is coming from someone who is used to seeing people constantly use Motorized infantry squads, with no transports for them, mixed in with pioneer, smg, and or paratroop squad all mixed into one on a single battlefield. Who cares if i win easily, the game is so gross to me it does'nt matter, it's not very fun, luckily i found a very good opponent who has a similar taste in QB's as i do.

Yes and yes, though his spotting ability might be a bit less, but I have hardly noticed.

If you play intelligently an opponent with ALL SMG platoons is no more difficult to beat than a player with Rifle platoons.Originally posted by Iron Chef Sakai:I vote gamey, and the way most people use smg platoons you would think the wermacht had a shortage of K-98 rifles.

Hey I found some very specific info on the Bf109 above.... It is a Bf109 G-6/Y. Here is some history on it...
"MT-507 arrived in Finland on 26th August 1944, too late for wartime operations. Most of its flights were in peace-time service."
and...
"Finland got first Bf-109G2s in 1943 and a number of Bf-109G6s later. This plane - MT-507- arrived in late August 1944 - too late to take part in the fighting. MT-507 made history by being the last Bf-109 to fly for the Finnish Air Force. The last flight took place 13.3.1954."
So, looks like I will have to go to Finland to see this one.. Heh heh..
