Boys....., your are........still.......GREAT! Many thanks from Germany and all my love Jochen

Hi Lindan, only by Shrapnelgames.com this game your copy is aviable. - In other words, not in stores, only over the internet. Greetings Jochen

Giggle, hi Freyland, posted at the same time as you did. Funny thing to see the folks on all the hardcore-gaming-forums. Heartfull greetings to all Jochen

Hi, i played SE4 like a maniac. It´s amazing good, for the first hours - and then, you will recognize that it is still not finished. No Challenge for the AI. The AI is full of mistakes, doesn´t use all components you are able to use, does attack and behave stupid, the Diplomacy is still not finished - so nearly useless. If you like to find out the depth of this game, it´s the money worth, if you want to have a full game, with a lot of challenge, you still have to wait, till they fixed the AI and all the other stuff - as they promised. For myself, i´m playing CM again, still happy about the amazing AI and long time challenge. Greetings from Germany Jochen

Yeah! The AI is great (only minor stupid behavior). I´m playing an operation now, where the Ai is kicking my ass. Great to see, how it tries to outflank me - great, great!!! greetins to all jochen

Yeah, massing up troops is on the one side the right thing to do, on the other side, especially if the terrain isn´t good enough deadly. At the moment i play a DYO-Operation, and the AI is still famous!!!!! I think, the AI in CM is the best i have ever seen in a wargame - sure, it could be sometimes better, and i believe that BTS will work on this. Hope this helps. Bye, bye Jochen

Thanks a lot!! Always good to be here in. Great community, great game!! Thanks again. Jochen

In German language, but i think it is alos translated to several languages: Paul Carell - "Sie kommen!" About the fighting in the Cean Area, it´s mixture of singel-stories and the great strategic situation. Paul Carell wrote several good books about the war: "Verbrannte Erde" (the withdrawing of the German Army in the East) "Unternehmen Barbarossa" (the German atteck against the Sovjets) "Die Gefangenen" (the german POWs and their faith - didn´t read it yet).

Hi all, after playing without any problems the new Beta Patch, i decided to play a new DYO-Operation. But, that´s horrible - i can´t go into the next battle. After the first Operationbattle the programm hangs - i can only see a black screen, my mousepointer and that´s it. I tried it again with 1.05 - everything works without any problems. My System is a PII, Elsa Erazor II (new Nvidia 6.31 installed), Soundblaster...., i never had problems with CM - it is the Beta patch. Well, i didn´t found a posting with this problem, so i write it here in the forum. If it known, well sorry, if it is not...... Please HEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!! Thank you very much ( i don´t wanna miss the improvements of the new patch, especially the smaller siloutte of the PZ IV). Any answer would be very kind. Ah, yes, before installing the 6.31 Nvidia Driver, i had this problem with the black screen only several times . After installing it, it happens after every first Operation battle. O.k. - Please Help me!! Greetings from Germany Jochen

The future lies in the markte, the customers and the company.... little, independent companies like BTS - aaaaaand, the produst. Hasbro does like they want to do - it´s our decision to buy or not to buy. I´m happy, that Falcon 4.0 still lives - without Hasbro. Greetings from Germany Jochen P.S. The bigger the company, the less good is service and individuel consulting for the customer - this is my experience.

Yeah, this is BTS!!!!!!! Your worth the money and our love/respect!!1 THANK YOU! Greetings from Germany Jochen

Great work Old Dog! Could you e-mail me the stuff at: Landlord1000@compuserve.de? Thank you very much. Greetings from Germany Jochen

Danke! Hey, Du hast da ´ne richtig coole Webpage! Es ist richtig toll, daß es in Deutschland mehrere "Verückte" wie mich gibt, die nicht "rechts" eingestellt sind, aber das Militär mögen. Mach´weiter so! grüße aus Stuttgart Jochen Sorry, this is a german message to mensch. My english is not good enough to translate it perfectly. I´m doing him compliments for his webpage.

Hi all, after several weeks of no CM-playing, i did it yesterday night! Oh folks, it´s still the best game...... I know, you know this, but i have to tell it everybody. Never had this feeling again and again when playing a wargame. Especially this new camo-mods of tanks are giving a real "realistic" feeling. O.k. - that´s all. Greetings from germany Jochen

I read an article at a german wargame page (Der Grenadier). I was interested and downloaded the demo. After that, the CM-Fever was and is in my body/brain. Jochen

Hi all, i like to do DYO-Scenarios. I was confused, by the AI-setup, - especially, that it doesn´t use the Command & Control ranges very wisely. Now, that Madmatt said, you have to place in DYO-Scenarios the troops by yourself, something is now clearer to me! Thanks! Greetings from Germany Jochen

I preordered Space Empires IV today. I loved to play Master of Orion II. With Space Empires there comes stuff enough to get this great Space-Feeling again. Thr graphics are not so great, but the game is great. BTW CM rules!!!! Greetings from Germany Jochen

How do you think about tankleaders? Also, it would be great to have a "copytool" for the editormaps. Oh, i love to post here!!!! Give me more!!! (giggle, giggle) greetings to all Jochen

You are doing the right question! No, i don´t know where to find this mod - sorry. But, if you get information where it is posted - let me know. Good luck! Jochen

You are right - it´s not just you! Often, i have the feeling, that a lot of "essential" things are not seen by our big community - but, that´s the forum for. Thanks. Jochen

O.k., my english is not my first language (grrrrr), but i´ve written the text to fast and didn´t control him before posting - sorry! Thanks for the information, that the winter 44/45 was very cold - i didn´t know - so, BTS is correct. Thanks a lot for your answers. Greetings from Germany Jochen

uuuups! that´s the best stuff i´ve ever seen. Where can we get this mod????? Greetings from Germany Jochen

All the things said above and trenches, landscape destruction (by artillerie destroyed trees ...), new rubble-buildings and of course the movie-thing ... but, wasn´t it promised to be released as an add-on?? Greetings from Germany Jochen

Thanks again for your answers! Huh, you know a lot of such things - i don´t - i´m only a user with a big wishlist. A desert-looking CM? Well, why not - would be interesting. But i´m very eager to have really ruined cities - It would be great to see this (i know i´m little perverted - but war is war, and the destruction should be shown). Thanks again! Greetings from Germany Jochen

Hi all, i know same may think that i´m mad or that this post is not worth to read, but i think the CM-Forum is the right place to say this. The colored trees for autumn-season are to early used in CM. The trees (in Germany) are so colored since middle/end of October. Frozen rivers are not usual in Germany in the winter. In russia yes, but not in Germany. (maybe the winter 44/45 was so cold, but i didn´t find any sources). O.k., o.k., this is really not important for the gameplay (perhaps only the frozen rivers) but i think, if we wanna be corgnards this should be said. Any comments?? Greetings from Germany Jochen P.S. - This game rocks!!!!
