  1. Anyone have a link to dl CMMOS? I've been unable to find a successful download location...
  2. Trying to dl the CMMOS - still getting page cannot be displayed I'll keep trying though, thanks for checking. I guess I was just trying to give a heads-up in case some of the links were broken...
  3. Hey guys - loooong time no talk! I registered forever ago, and dropped off the radar screen once 'real life' hit. BUT I'm trying to get back into the swing, and I was attempting to get some mods from the ol' standby combatmission.com - I can't download anything! No mods whatsoever, CMMOS, MDMPs, nothin! Just get a 'Page cannot be displayed' error message....anyone else having this problem?? I REALLY need to get the MDMPs and CMMOS!! Help anyone?
  4. In my experience (that is all I can comment on), snipers seem to be UNREAL at creating suppression within a squad. Yes the ability to kill is there, but I've watched a sniper from a few hundred yards pin an entire squad with his FIRST SHOT. Once the squad is pinned and searching for the sniper, flank in another to clean up. Remember the sniper scene in Saving Private Ryan? - ok in that instance, one man was shot and eventually died, but that lone German sniper in the belltower pinned that entire squad from over FOUR FOOTBALL FIELDS AWAY until he was taken out (which if the US sniper wasn't JUST SO BAD ASS in that movie), that whole squad could've been pinned for MUCH LONGER. Now imagine if there was a German infantry squad waiting on the Ami's flanks - does that make sense? Gol. p.s. - again, this has been my experience, but it may prove useful??
  5. Darn are Apex's links extinct? I cannot connect to a single one! Gol
  6. Good lord is that beautiful! On behalf of BTS, you're hired! Really, you are one heck of an artist Tiger - gj! Gol
  7. Add me to the list for 'Follow' or something similar - convoy micromanagement can be a real pain when you have tons of vehicles, and just want to move them all from one area to another in a line/formation. As it is, trying to coordinate a column formation with the 'MOVE' command is fairly inaccurate, because if you place the cursor to move one tank where another is currently sitting, the cursor 'floats' over the waypoint, making "precision" movement difficult/impossible. I agree with Teach - I don't think this would introduce any RTS elements into the game, because all it is is a movement simplification command...no it doesn't have to be perfect (that wonderful CM randomness coming into play), but tanks moved in columns all the time in WWII...didn't they? This is just to help us with some of the micro-management. Gol
  8. Yes it may be a little frustrating at times to set up an ambush where you *think* a sound contact might be heading, and all of a sudden it jumps to a spot meters away from where it was originally designated...BUT IMHO it does a VERY good job of showing the uncertainty of a *sound* contact on a chaotic battlefield. M Hofbauer's description does a GREAT job of visualizing this... Gol
  9. Thx for all the replies folks - I understand that it's very tough to *describe* to someone who's never experienced it. David kinda puts it in better words than I did...I just don't know what I'd do without my faculties, but in the middle of a war, when it seems EVERYTHING is shooting at JUST YOU, you don't really worry about not being able to hear (or see, etc). Gol
  10. *Thread hijack*: That's why they make mods like RA3 and WFA! Gol
  11. Hello all - long time lurker, first time poster so please go easy! I am quite the fan of WWII history (CM is hands-down one of the best games that I've played PERIOD!!), and yearn to learn more whenever possible - an aside here, to all current war vets that are here (conflict doesn't matter), it's been said, but I don't think it's been said enough - you guys deserve all of the credit in the world! You've done something that can really never be repayed in a tangible fashion - I love all you guys..seriously...it's one thing to read a book and imagine the horrors of war, it's another to actually be able to do it...EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU are heroes - believe that. Anyway, this is more of a general war/conflict question than anything else. Objectively, how many war veterans were nearing total deafness at the end of the war? I ask that because I cannot possibly imagine the amount of noise in a combat zone...reading "The Forgotten Soldier" gives you a sense of what it's like to be on the end of an arty barrage, but words can only express so much. So here's what it boils down to - (objectively) how loud was it? Like inside of a tank, taking a ricochet, or a direct shot that broke up: Or while manning arty, or being shot at by arty: What about on the manning end of a .50 cal: Firing a tanks main gun: etc. I realize how 'out-there' this question may be, but I'm quite curious as one who's never experienced ANYTHING close to this. Thanks for any informative replies! Gol
  12. Ooo ooo - will there be a central place we can d/l PBEM files as the battles are completed? Gol
  13. Henri - coming from one who has been trounced in the Villers scen, I'm wondering if you have any PBEM's or anything saved of you beating an opponent - such data would prove valuable to someone such as me trying to win this darn thing - thx for anything you can provide! Gol
