Playing a great scenario vs the AI but it would be even better if I could add more turns to the game already in progress. Any chance? Any suggestions? Short timer Toad.

Try praying to St. Anthony. Religious Toad.

Historical TOE. Fictional or Historical engagements. Briefly, Toad

No, same computer. No, did't erase cookies.

Anyone know?

Could be tough. Were is the VL ? Otherwise turn around, lift your kilts and moon them. moonstruck Toad.

D,Arcy Are you saying that when your troops withdraw from a forward slope position to a rearward slope position they crest the slope with their backs to the enemy? Hmmmm ... That is either pretty cheeky or deserves a :eek: So this has worked for you?? Wary Toad.

Thanks you guys. Say, how come sometimes on the forum you have to log in and sometimes you don't? Sittin' on a Log - Toad

I hear this can get you out of trouble fast, but I also have heard it can cause you to loose the battle. What is your experience? Going through withdrawal, Toad

Any built ones out there? Have played August Bank Holiday and the Poles vs Germans trying to bug out (sorry I forgot the name). Any suggestions? Tankful Toad

Just curious. In the Valley demo what are the areas enclosed in barbed wire supposed to represent exactly. Wondering Toad

Whether on offense or defence, I study the terrain as much as possible and look for the "good ground". I attempt to identify the avenues of sheltered approach and where the killing fields might be located. Invariably I ask myself, what would Erwin do, or how would Stonewall react to this situation. When I do purchase units I try to stay with historic TO&E. TOE Toad

REVS, A modest proposal: Try using Franko's True Combat Rules vs the AI. Try a similar 300 pt engagement. See what happens. Don't fudge. Modest Toad

Cauldron Great out of the box thinking ! All the criticising you got from those posts above (you should have, could have, would have) is a lot of bunk. You took on odds two to one against you using tanks that others deem to be rolling coffins. Your tactics remind me of Stonewall Jackson. The only problem is now everyone will be using the "Cauldron Maneuver" Impressed Toad.

Awhile back I had a Daimler AC take a position along side of a building. Enemy infantry entered the building from the opposite side. The Daimler fired into the building and immobilized itself. Then it fired smoke. Neither side could aquire on the next turn because of the smoke. On the following turn I was able to acquire the enemy squad and took a chance firing at it since no other unit could help out. The Daimler fired its main gun at what was point blank range. The enemy infantry was struck in such a way that it was blown outside of the building in the open, eliminated. Totally awesome .. Toad.

CMBO lets you be as gamey as you want to be. We have witness to all kinds of examples. Take for instance, Detailed Armor Hits. In my version of WWII it gives more info than anyone execept the stricken tank crew should know. So as a player who really tries for fog of war realism I don't want to know either. But I am glad I have the option to shut it off or use it. Personally I believe there is a lot of gaminess available in the features of CM especially when it comes to observing the enemy and the terrain. If I want to play without or with those features I can make a choice. I am glad CM offers these choices. So when playing against a pbem opponent the use of certain features in the game should be made clear ahead of time. Beyond that, a trustworthy opponent of the highest integrity (the only type of person I want to play against) would look at a situation and ask the question: Would I actually be able to do this? Or know this? Or see this? And ... if the player truly does not know the answer, there are many ways to find out. Playing the game comes before winning the game in the world of Toad.

Yes this is a great feature. Just the first time I have realized that it works this way. We are playing with only 300 pts each so it must be that slight movements of a squad will change things. Thanks. L the T

My trusted PBEM opponent and I are playing a very small QB with only one flag. He swears the flag appears as American (his force) while I see a German flag. We both have troops in the vicinity. He also says that the flag has turned to grey, and back to American, while I still have it as German. I did refer him to the victory % which is strongly in my favor. But has anyone experienced the two sided flag phenomena? :confused: Puzzled Toad

Only a two week wait? My brother has been waiting for more than 3 weeks in Minnesota. When I ordered the game it took less than a week which seems to be the norm. :eek:

Thanks to all. Appreciative Toad

How about: "Cheer up lads, you'll be home by Christmas."

Does anyone use it? Anyone? Buehler? Anyone?

Bump. :cool:

My brother ordered the game back on July 23. Still no show. Can't wait to give him a sound thrashing. Impatient Toad.

Priest I suggest you check out the Thread in this Forum entitled CM:BB Changes in LoS Tool Toad
