Thx Michael. I was completely surprised when I got it so early, and I think the least I can do is post some screenies.

So, here's another one: "Za Rodina! Vee don't need no frickin' Tigers!"

Or: SU 152s

ParaBellum,

First thanks for all the screenshots! Remember our little Sturmtiger at the sneak preview

Upon reading that CDV shipped early I checked the homepage of Mediamarkt in Pratteln, Switzerland and they got CMBB there. Release date said 17.9.02!!!!!! :eek: :eek:

One phone call and Im on my way!!!!!!

Bye....

Marcus

****

Hehe, go get it, Marcus!

Just one tiny little problem here....

I actually had a lot to do today 'cause I knew tomorrow and the rest of the weekend I'd play CMBB 'till I drop. Then it came.

But then, who needs food, money and clean clothes anyway?

Jochen, You lucky devil!

Kerry, did you try to right click, click on properties, copy the adress and paste it in your browser?

Hope it works, this one's for you:

Hint: Never hide in light wooden buildings when Katjusha comes to play...

Or: Katjuschas

Give me a few minutes...

And what's the blast value of a Strmtiger round compared to the ISU-152

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Gryphon

The Su 152 has a blast value of 305, the SturmTiger one of 2116! What a beast.

Gryphon, I don't want to post too many details, since I think it would spoil the fun for many.

Para, could we get some hot info about the editor?

I'd really would like to know what's possible to do with a save-game file (i.e. when you load the end game file into the editor).

Thanks for all the info you give us! I've cooled off a bit now ...

OK, when you start a new QB and you are asked for the map features you can now load an older (saved) QB map or a map you created via the editor.

So you can now create a map, play a battle on it, save it and use the same map with all the craters and damages for the next battle. Nice for creating mini-campaigns...

[WOOOOHOOO!!! I GOT IT!!!]

Trenches anyone?

It is... Don't want to spoil the fun showing off scenarios.

[WOOOOHOOO!!! I GOT IT!!!]

Kekk, good idea, thx for helping.

Rex_Bellator, install size is 1.437.433.865 byte...

Ok, here is a nice truck, some hungarians, and a not-yet-completed SdKfZ 251/22 , still a beautiful HT...

Or: Hungarians

Someone we both know?

OK, so we got wishes for Hungarians, a truck, and, ah forgot it.

Wait, yes, a SdKfZ 251/22.

Ok, let's see what I can dig out...

Give me a few minutes...

[WOOOOHOOO!!! I GOT IT!!!]

And finally, the impact:

Hm, gotta make the screenies a little bit smaller.

Or: Sturmtiger 3

[WOOOOHOOO!!! I GOT IT!!!]

Ok, here we have the heroic Unteroffizier Bauer (Lol!) with his Sturmtiger.

Looks like there's a heavily fortified soviet strongpoint in the church...

We'll see to that.

Or: Sturmtiger 1

[Did the IS-3 make it????]

Well, I don't want to spoil all the fun.

But the IS 3 is definately NOT available.

At least not in June '41...

[WOOOOHOOO!!! I GOT IT!!!]

Ok, while we're at it, any suggestions for the next screenie?

[WOOOOHOOO!!! I GOT IT!!!]

OK, anyone want Fins? You get Fins!

Here they come:

Some seem to be able to view the pics, for the others, (as above) right click, properties, copy the link and paste it into your browser.

Tell me if it works.

Or: Fins

[edit: OK, here's no.1... some T34s advancing at dusk...]

If you can't see the pic, right click on it, click on properties, copy the address and paste it in a new browser window, that should work.

Or: T-34s at dusk

Parabellum,

Despite remembering all too well the failed Axis attack at Herr Zimmerling's house I simply must get my filthy hands on the German version...just so I can see 'Sturmangriffe' in the orders menu.

Just a quick question...are there CDV logos splashed all over the place? Is the US soldier still on the cover? Mate, we need all the info...then you can get back to your thesis.

David

No CDV logos all over the place, just one screen when loading CMBB, pretty much like the demo. And the US soldier is still on the cover...

Ah, the Sturmangriffe!

And "Durchschlag" in my ears sounds way better than "penetration" *cough*...

[Question for those who already got the German version]

1.) hotkeys are the same

2.) the manual so far looks good, I've read through some chapters and think it's quite well written. Haven't read too many briefings yet, but the ones I read sound pretty good, too.

3.) I had no problems at all, especially since all the keyboard commands are still the english ones I'm used to.

[WOOOOHOOO!!! I GOT IT!!!]

Yep, I'm currently playing around with the editor to see all these beautiful tank/vehicle models. That'll take me some time..

Thank you all for such a marvellous game.

[WOOOOHOOO!!! I GOT IT!!!]

Yep, only parts of the manual are available in printed form.

The rest is a PDF file.

Looks like the complete manual has 152 pages.

[WOOOOHOOO!!! I GOT IT!!!]

Ah, the snow, the snow!!

I mean, yes, a meeting in October would be nice. Hope you're getting better soon.

I'll email later, maybe about 4-5 pm.

[WOOOOHOOO!!! I GOT IT!!!]

Andreas, I guess I first want to check out all the units and goodies.

But in the evening I'd like to play you.

[CMBB arrived in Germany!]

Hehe Tomlin, beat me...

I just got my copy, congrats and have fun!

[edit: lol! looks like we posted our topics the same moment!]

[WOOOOHOOO!!! I GOT IT!!!]

Yes, I NEVER expected it to arrive so soon.

I was sitting here, doing some stuff for my thesis when suddenly the doorbell rang.

God, who's this? I'm busy...

"Post, a package for Mr.Baur!"

"My god, come in, fast!"

OK, install completed, I'll be back...
