That's surprising, because the Quick Battle maps that CM throws up are either tiny, too wide or too big.

It wouldn't take much work from BTS to create a PBEM or TCP players forum, so they should do it. The demand is definately there. ------------------ battlefront.com forum: "DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH"

You are quite, correct, I am entitled to my opinion. Religion is stupid.

Light tanks are very very good. Can be bear invincible against infantry cos they are cheaper and faster than those big tanks.

Stoffel, I just tried the advertise for games feature, but it didn't work, maybe a different form script would help. I'll try again now. ------------------ battlefront.com forum: "DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH"

Mail me if you want PBEM games thru the Rugged Defense ladder, I am at beginner level (Green).

At the moment I can't really get the most out of the Rugged Defense site, because any time that I fill in a form, I get an error of some kind. Does anyone else get this when registering or looking for opponents? Maybe the forms should be fixed. ------------------ battlefront.com forum: "DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH"

All religions are stupid. What about some poor old peasant high up in the hills in Eastern Asia, who has never heard of Christianity, Islam or Judaism, will their Gods find space in heaven for him? ------------------ battlefront.com forum: "DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH"

Do you mean random as in the "Quick Battle" maps, or ones randomly generated through the scenario creator? BTW, this is mostly an enquiry about single games. ------------------ battlefront.com forum: "DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH"

I was just wondering where people get their maps from when they are playing games on Rugged Defense. I've played two games so far and I don't recognise either of them from the "Custom Scenarios" page at the Rugged Defense Website. I can't imagine that people are random generating them, because the Combat Mission random maps are either very small or extremely wiiiiiide. ------------------ battlefront.com forum: "DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH"

Maybe Mechanic Wolf or Oberst Hinka has stolen it!! P.S. I hope you are looking after Stalin the cat. [This message has been edited by M. Bates (edited 09-19-2000).]

Who cares if a tactic is gamey, after all it is a game. ------------------ battlefront.com forum: "DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH DO A SEARCH"

Pham has raised some issues which should be addressed.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Lastly, I expect that BTS will lock this thread shortly since you people seem to get real jittery when people question your idols and can't form decent rebuttels. That will be a shame, as it would, in all fairness, preclude any more UPDATE!!!! ads from Matt about CMHQ. Because, CMHQ is either on topic, or off, and if it's off, it would have to apply to both sides, no? Does BTS even know that this is supposed to be a commercial site? Can I get a commission from the Army for posting recruitment ads here?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Pham is making some very valid points here and people are flaming him for it. If a webmaster in the CM community chooses to air his "dirty laundry" in public, then he or she and other forum contributors must be tolerant to the various reactions. Pham has been perfectly sensible so far. "Pham is an idiot" - repeated twice?? Surely a case for "Elijah Meeks" to be warned or banned for this offensive language towards another contributor.

If MadMatt is wanting money for the CMHQ site, then the mod authors should get their cut too. People visit that site to download mods or read reviews, AARs and that sort of thing. It's like running a video rental store, but the guy who runs it pays nothing for the videos, but gets all the money for them. Also, if CMHQ is going to be a profit making concern, then shouldn't they be paying battlefront.com for all the free advertising they are getting?

Is this Rob guy on the CM webring yet? Also, why do people pick fights with him? ------------------ [This message has been edited by an international conspiracy of Euro-Anarchists.]

It's not just with sound contacts, the fact that it was is just incidental - I have seen this Warping Effect with bailed crews etc. ------------------ [This message has been edited by an international conspiracy of Euro-Anarchists.]

This has happened a couple of times now, but the most recent incident was very strange. Sometimes when watching an action phase of PBEM, a tank or infantryman "teleports" all over the battlefield. This normally happens for 10 seconds or so and then the unit settles down. Can anyone explain what is happening? Surely if the PBEM file was corrupted it would not play in the first place!!! ------------------ [This message has been edited by an international conspiracy of Euro-Anarchists.]

Yes, I couldn't believe it myself!! It's probably some kind of oversight. If people want a good medium sized game then they really have to play a Scenario or download a custom map, especially in PBEM. ------------------ [This message has been edited by an international conspiracy of Euro-Anarchists.]

Point number one is very good though, I definately would want to see that implemented. ------------------ [This message has been edited by an international conspiracy of Euro-Anarchists.]

Quick Question: Who did the voices for all the soldiers? just wondering. Another thing: I can't remember hearing a Scottish accent for the British yet, or Welsh for that matter.

Whenever I go through the Quick Battle process of creating a map and the conditions for PBEM play, I always end up the w-i-d-e-s-t maps imaginable. If I could make the other ends friendly to each side, there would be a nice long map instead, but there ain't no option for that. ------------------ [This message has been edited by an international conspiracy of Euro-Anarchists.]

I might've played if you had a DVD of Private Ryan: but since I am in Europe and Private Ryan DVD is not available over here, I can't do either!! ------------------ [This message has been edited by an international conspiracy of Euro-Anarchists.]

Daaaaaaaaamnit. That sucks. At least these skies will look really really really good when they are released. It's not so bad with winter games, but games set in the summer look kind of gloomy and dark, so these skies are much needed. ------------------ [This message has been edited by an international conspiracy of Euro-Anarchists.]
