  1. It downloaded as a RAR file. What can I play an RAR file on? I downloaded the above codexes to no avail.
  2. You may be Swedish, but that was a classic example of British understatement.
  3. Good, I'll only have to read the rantings of insufferable "if it doesn't have this it’s caca" heads for another month or so. Of course the rantings won't end there but at least there'll be people who have actually played the game that can put some balance to all this.
  4. This is the first game I've really been excited about in years; however, I really hope the game doesn't go too simplistic on armor penetration. I don't expect CM ballistics accuracy but it would be good if you could look into how the game handles armor slope and angle of attack. Even if it's a simplified system I'd very much like this game to take these two values into account.
  5. I'm new to this particular game and I was wondering how to deal with places such as Malta. I could not find a way to invade it by air or sea. You can surround it with battleships, bombard it forever, and the garrison stays at eight. Amphibious transports would not unload and airborne units would not drop. In my experience a single corps held out for over a year in Alexandria in spite of being completely surrounded - from land and sea and attacked by far superior forces. It remained in full supply while my forces suffered supply blockage almost every turn - because of Malta. Any suggestions on how to crack these nuts would be appreciated.
  6. For the U.S. I assume it will be missing the M24 Chaffee, the M18 Hellcat, and probably the M26 Pershing. Maybe the recoilless rifles. These are my assumptions only. I don't know what parts of the German tin can armada would be missing as compared to NWE, nor am I speculating about other Allies. Even if I'm correct, there is likely to be so much overlap that I doubt I'll miss any of the above. With the right map I can be happily in France 1944 just like with the right CM:BO maps I am happily in Italy in 1943. Hell, as long as I'm happily not on the East Front somewhere, I'll be happily happy, happiness-wise. -dale </font>
  7. There's got to be a balance between playing the game, and keeping an eye on the board. Downloading patch now. :cool:
  8. I'd love to come, but I've escaped the beltway. It's too far a drive from Anchorage Alaska. Irronically I think I brought Maryland weather with me. It's been raining off and on for a week now. :confused:
  9. I'm finally getting settled in a bit in Anchorage. Treeburts, can you put me on a replacement list or somefink? I can't beleive I missed this!
