As a complete coincidence, I was playing a TCP/IP game the night afer this thread started and found his evil bolshivek ampulomets killing my tanks left and right! So much for being inaccurate! *argh/grin*
Not sure about the Soviet National Anthem initially, but it does work if you change the tempo! LOL

ROFLMAO! YOU are the guy John Cleese portrayed in a movie aren't you? (and I thought he was just being outrageously silly, never knowing it was a serious character study of a real person!) ...Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time-uh. *grin*Originally posted by Pascal DI FOLCO:That I'm French may be an excuse

Crap. Now I have to try this... where can I find a sound file of the Soviet National Anthem?Originally posted by Andreas:...singing the words of 'It's my party and I cry if I want to' to the tune of the Soviet national anthem (try it - thanks John

There is at least one dissenter to having a hard copy manual about the house. He's a parrot and obviously hates CMBB as evidenced by his attack of said manual. Luckily the manual was saved from total destruction by an in attentive owner with a quick reaction time. That same owner learned much about CMBB from the AAR of this quick battle.

Which Vancouver? The one nearer Doug & Bob McKensie's Great White North? Or the one 4 hours below it which is closer to your listed home of Havana Cuba?

VERY nice job on all pages concerned! (and I appreciate how tedious it must've been!) But there is another excellent use for these pages as well... they will help me decide which units to buy in QB's in the future based on your pics! (EVERYBODY knows having cool looking units is 90% of the battle! Right!? *grin*)

I gotta chime in as well with serious kudos!

That's no help... they're useless underwater!Originally posted by Sergei:So how do you explain assault boats then, huh? Huh!?!
Again no help... every attempt at submerging ran into serious boyancy problems.Also the very rare PanZeppelin, a Königstiger which could float in air with the 70 metres long helium balloon tied to it. Death from above, say!
Actually, I later ran into another mention of one of these which included a picture of one emerging from the river [insert some semi-famous Russian river name here]. After careful study of the aforementioned picture and very careful consideration with a serious eye to grognardom, I came to the conclusion that it looked like a wet tank.Were those amphibious gadgets anything useful or just displays of engineership?[Crap! I hit my grognardom while typing this message! ...boy, that smarts!]

While this was in jest, if under fire I would certainly love the cance to submerge! (not schwim) LOL

Tauchpanzer III: "Diving tank." 168 Ausf F, G, H, and PzBefWg III Ausf Es were converted from June to October 1940 for Operation Seeloewe (Sealion, invasion of Britain) by the 18th Panzer Regiment of the 18th Panzer Division. The air intakes were closed by rubber seals and the exhausts had non-return valves installed. An inflatable rubber seal was placed around turret ring. The hull MG and commander's cupola had rubber covers installed. There was a pump that removed excess water that got
inside tank. When under water it would get air from a 59' long and 8" diameter hose which was attached to a float that on later models had a radio antenna. It could operate to a depth of 50' for around 20 minutes. Explosive charges were installed to the seals to be set off to remove the seals when tank reached dry land. A command vessel would communicate to the submerged tank via the radio to guide it.
...I think we've been short changed by BTS!! *grin*

No this is an upgrade from that one! This one uses a more CMBB-like interface at the bottom! I'm really insulted. I can't believe you didn't appreciate the technical expertise and extraordinary effort to incorporate that into a screenshot, ah, I mean the "mod." LOLOriginally posted by Kalar:-E-
Unless my eyes deceive me, that's the "Kampfgruppe" mod!
Who didn't? *grin*Originally posted by Kalar:I played that game tons in the 80's.
It can be run it on win98 and in Dos under win98 using a couple of A][ emulators. Couldn't tell you if win2k would run it.Originally posted by Kalar:Do you have a copy that'll play on Win2000? I'd play that on my "beige work machine"!!

Who's grass mod are you using and where can I get some, err, it?Originally posted by Nidan1:Wouldn't it be cool if a "Tron" like anamoly ocurred which sucked your molecules into pixels, and stuck you in a Soviet Assault scenario.....demented laughter of MADMATT.....All of a sudden you are back in your computer chair

This mod may not see public release due to delayed governmental declassification and technology patents pending.

A WEEK after the release and you guys are talking about fixing things?!? You guys are doing it ALL WRONG! Boy is the rest of the industry going to be pissed when they find out you guys have set customer relations/satisfaction/complaint resolution precedents! (CRIPES! If this gets out, consumers will EXPECT to be treated like customers!)Originally posted by Madmatt:Thats already been addressed in the forthcoming v1.01 patch, as has lots of other stuff. Hoping to have a list for you all soon.

Increase your desktop resolution to higher than 800 x 600 and CMBB will allow higher.

I'm not addicted to online porn. I could stop anytime I wanted to. If I wanted to. I just don't want to. No, really, I *could* stop.
Problem with CMBB is that it lead me into online porn. If I hadn't read this BBS, I wouldn't even have know it existed.

ROFL... bears repeating!Originally posted by Bruno Weiss:You sure your hearing that correctly. Could it be somefink like "Stopfen doin dat".

Get the free program "Qres" (swaps desktop resolution, launches your program, then changes desktop resolution back to whatever upon exit). (You'll have to do a search on where to find it... I've had it for years and can't remember where I got it from at this late stage).

It took about 4 days for a large number of people in Washington to get it. But, this was from the mass pre-ordered mailing/release.

I second the motion.Originally posted by japinard:A way to save a camera angle and zoom you always use...

I believe all CMBO parent models incorporate anti-hero/parent-worship logarithms that incorrectly cloud the player's impressions of capabilities. Keep in mind that the sequel (Toy Story: Beyond The Crib (aka TS:BTC)) will have the opposite game effect on one's children.Originally posted by Lt. Kije:Now, my Dad was a WWII forward observer. I have his field glasses on the table in front of me. They are not that heavy. Why the (new in CMBB, I believe) classification of my Dad as "slow"? He was actually pretty fit, even in his old age.

Ditto. (Kampfgruppe for the Apple ][ was one of the two first games I ever bought)Originally posted by Abbott:I have always preferred the eastern front myself. CMBO was a great diversion while waiting anxiously for this one.

Okay, as of tonight it's official. I hate them. They are not inaccurate as portrayed above!
