    Hm, does somebody know what's the mmaximum number of CM games you an run at the same time? I think it depends on your RAM, anyone managed to crash CM that way?

    I just did a test with 25 games running at the same time, still no problems.

    And I still apply for the most useless test of the month award!

    OK, I just did a test to find out more about the possibility of replaying a whole battle.

    I loaded 20 (!) CMs, loaded one turn of a 20 turn 1000 points QB attack into each and watched!

    I started with game 1, turn 1 and worked though to game 20, turn 20. Although it's a cumbersome way to start all those games, it shows that it CAN be done.

    Interesting: even with 20 CMs running I didn't get graphics stutter or even slowdowns!

    I got a AMD 800Mhz with 448 MB RAM and a Geforce2 MX.

    I hereby apply for the

    most useless test of the month :D

    OK, I'm sure this is known already for ages...

    but it was pretty new to me!

    I had CM running, doing a QB against the AI when I recieved a PBEM turn. I hit "esc", then I accidently started CM again after saving the turn to the PBEM folder. Now I had two CMs running without problems.

    I tried a third one, a forth one, no problem!

    I could switch between 4 CM games using "esc" without problems. No sound cut-outs, no CTDs.

    I'm impressed!

    I was already so much used to play a PBEM turn, "alt-a", load another game, now I can play several Pbems at once!

    And this after playing CM for 1 1/2 years ... :rolleyes:

    In "It never snows in September" by R. Kershaw which deals with the Arnheim operation in '44 from the german point of view he gives many examples of 20mm Flak used against the allies with devastating effect.

    So yes, 20mm Flak were used in a ground defense role in WW2, but IMO not that much as certain CM players use it.

    Beeeeeeep! Wrong. AFAIK CMBB is Combat Mission 2. The current term used for the engine rewrite is CM II.

    And yes, I was bored... ;)
