Actually, I am extremely happy with the game as it is. Not really being in to computers and knowing whats what, my biggest fear is that if BTS changed it much it might not be the same game. I would hate to see that happen, so guess my answer would be no. Now I would like to see the sort of game (decreased in scope) that you are talking about but wouldn't want BTS to do it so they wouldn't deviate from the present game and games to come. Hope that makes sense? Now going back to increaseing the scope and why I wouldn't care to see something along those lines. I have played a game that did just that and while fun for a brief time it soon became old becauese being on that level you lost a lot of control. Even if somebody could develop one and it was a blast to play I personally feel it would be overwhelming to have to make all the details (orders or commands) that one would have to do. Anyway, my personally feelings.

Thank you sir. And thanks to the mod makers of course. Very nice stuff.

Yes, thank you Chrisl. I appreciate it. Hope you had a good 4th?

I was told earlier that you could look a board members profile up to see where he/she lived and stuff. How do you do this. I have clicked on every single thing I could click on and haven't figured it out. Any help would be appreciated - yes again. [ 07-05-2001: Message edited by: lcm1947 ]

Only thing I can tell you is maybe reword your post so somebody will look at it or email the guys at BTS and ask them. It's a bummer not knowing how to do something on these wonderful but damn computers. I know. Sure wish I could help.

YOu guys had a year to conquer Canada, which was 1/20th your size, and you failed __________________________________________ Yeah, we blew that one for sure. Have a good July 4th ! We really do love you guys.

The cartridge or because of the rifle itself? Any details would be appreciated as I find this interesting having used the old M14 myself not that I liked it either.

Beauiful! Nice job guy. They look like you took them with a 35mm camera. I really like the growth under the trees. Very nice. I couldn't really tell about the differences in elevation from these pictures but you state that that is one of your goals. I too have problems when it's hard to tell the different elevations so that is a big concern of mine plus having only a 450 HZ processor the hit on the speed if hi-res. Is this hi-res and slow me down a lot? If not I would surely like to use it.

Well, I think that about covers it. Thank you Steve for a very interesting and well put explaination. You guys impress me more everytime you do or say something. Killer game too!!! May you all become rich.

Boy am I the last person you wanted to see this post. Sorry, my daughter had to put it on my computer. But I thought she said she had to place it in the CM folder, but don't quote me on it. Some body will come along and help you hopefully. Cool game isn't it? Wait a minute if you just bought the game you probably don't have to install that fix, but again sorry I'm not sure. Maybe this bump will make somebody else help. Good luck.

As nice as mod as I've seen. Excellent job and thank you. I'll be getting this one for sure.

Just a thought. There seems to be a big difference of opinions here. I was just wondering if maybe the guys that use the German forces in the game think one way and the guys that use the American forces think the other. I know that I who play just the American side feel it's tilted in favor towards the German's. Well, that's what I was wondering. Maybe it's true?

No, no pictures. Hey everbody!

Thank you Slapdragon for informing me that most NATO countries now arm thier medic's. I did not know that and am very disappointed personally. Strange times these are or maybe it's just me getting older. To Juha Ahoniemi: I see your point my friend.

I believe BTS said that they were going to do something like this. I believe they said something about the ambush command being changed from one spot like it is now to a given area. In other words if something enters this area that you have set up it's dead. or at least shot at. I hope I am correct in this as that would really be more realistic. As far as the other suggestion you made don't know.

Sorry about the caplocks. Someone else just informed me about it so I apologize. I now remember reading somewhere that that was considered yelling which I certainly didn't mean to do. I just thought it stood out better. Well, I guess that's the whole point, isn't it. Anyway, excuse me. I never try to be rude or upsetting to anyone. Won't happen again.

So, we have funny people on the board. Boy would I have looked far and wide trying to locate the 14.5mm. That wasn't very nice Mr. Johnson but I enjoy a good joke now and again myself so you are forgiven. This once. Well, I thank you PzKpFw 1 and Slapdragon for answering then. I know those calibers are in the book but must just not plainly mention it so I'll do some reading.

Well, I myself wanted to do that many times when I was in the service. Club an officer I mean.

You two guys must be gooffing off like I am waiting for tomorrow. But thanks for the anwer Mr. Johnson and I'm not yelling but know what you mean so I shall quit it. Didn't mean to yell. Sorry, sorry. Anyway, now I can look it up to see the figures on it. Hope it's a good round but probably not.

HOPE NOBODY MINDS A LITTLE JOKE AND CERTAINLY NO MEANNESS INTENDED. WHAT DO THEY CALL 10,000 POLISH PARATROOPERS? - AIR POLLUTION - SORRY I COULDN'T HELP IT.

I HAVE LOOKED AND LOOKED TO TRY TO DETERMINE THE CARTRIDGE THAT THE RUSSIANS WILL BE USING IN CM2 AND HAVE FAILED TO FIND IT. THE ONE BOOK I'M USING JUST DOESN'T LIST IT OR MORE THEN LIKELY JUST NOT MENTION IT IN THAT SENSE. ANYBODY KNOW? I ASSUME THAT THEY USED BOLT ACTION RIFLES ALSO?

BOY I'M WITH YOU ON EVERY ONE OF YOUR SUGGESTIONS COLONEL DEADMARSH. WOULDN'T THE GAME BE IMPROVED BY A BUNCH? HERE'S HOPEING. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD MY FAVORITE SUGGESTION. THAT TANK TURRERTS COULD BE COMMANDED TO ROTATE/TURN IN THE DIRECTION YOU WANT IT TO INDEPENDENT OF THE HULL. EXAMPLE; TANK HEADING WEST AND YOU WANT IT TO TURN IT'S TURRERT EAST WHILE THE TANK CONTINUES ON IT'S WESTWARD MOVEMENT. ANOTHER ONE OF MY WISHES WOULD BE TO HAVE FLARES IN THE GAME. I REALLY ENJOY NIGHT ACTION AND THIS WOULD SIMPLY BLOW THE GAME AWAY, COUARSE I'M FIXIN TO GET A 850 hZ PROCESSOR FOR MY COMPUTER AND AM READY FOR THE PROCESSOR HIT.

I GUESS NOBODY KNOWS OR NOT GOING TO ANSWER. AS FAR AS MECH VS ARMOR, YES IT CAN BE DONE OR COMBINED AGAINST MECH OR ANY COMBINATION YOU WANT, EXCEPT I SUPPOSE INFANTRY VS INFANTRY. INTERESTING THAT YOU ASK ABOUT INFANTRY VS INFANTRY THOUGH. I JUST LAST NIGHT PLAYED THAT BY DESIGNING MY OWN MAP. TO MAKE IT FAIR SINCE I OFCOURSE HAD TO PICK BOTH SIDES I PICKED AN AMERICAN COMPANY AND GERMAN COMPANY. IN PRICE THEY WERE ONLY ABOUT $5.00 OFF. THE GERMAN'S BEING THE LITTLE MORE BY THE WAY. ANYWAY, I ALSO PICKED 2 SHARPSHOOTERS FOR EACH SIDE. I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I EVER PLAYED. FOR ONCE THE GERMAN SIDE DIDN'T DOMINATE THE GAME BECAUSE OF THIER TANKS. AMERICAN'S WON BY THE WAY BUT SINCE I WAS COMMANDING THAT'S NO SURPRISE. YOU BROUGHT UP A GOOD POINT FOR ME IN THAT I REALLY DIDN'T NEED TO PURCHASE THE SHARPSHOOTER I COULD HAVE SIMPLY USED THE BAZOOKA GUYS. NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. ANYWAY THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET INFANTRY VS INFANTRY. HAVE FUN AND REMEMBER CM2 WILL BE COMING OUT SOON. NOT SOON ENOUGHT BUT SOON.
