Saw a documentary about Kursk battle, there one highly (some 15 medals) decorated woman tank commander shared her memories how her tank was in the action. her main concern in the war days were lack of hygine (you know what I am talking about ------------------ In the flat field I get bored...

I played TOAW (the first version) nearly 1,5 years. And I enjoyed it. Only problems for me were IGO-UGO system and endless ways of cheating - that really drove me off from TOAW. And of course as a proude owner of the FIRST version, I very much detested the Talonsoft attitude of "Lets make another verson of TOAW and collect more money for the same product". I guess there are about SIX versions of TOAW. But until Norm Koger was the true first fan and supporter of the first version (numerous patches released) I was satisfied. ------------------ In the flat field I get bored...

Most of mine are PBEM-s I TCP/IP only when I am at work in graveyard shift and at night bothering clients are scarce ------------------ In the flat field I get bored...

Oh-oh-oh It was just a challenge to Swedish guys to form a group and have a friendly match in group ladder. I belong to Finnish group as well and we thought it would be fun to have a match with close neighbours (I am Estonian) Cyberfox said something about shutting the whole group ladder down if there are any flames between different nations... We meant no offence, if no Swedish group is formed, we cannot fight it and that is that. No need to take anything personally.

Can it be fixed by me somehow? At home I have Banshee, all normal ------------------ In the flat field I get bored...

Jarmo I know I removed some fow but to learn more, I decided to bring it up anyway. And I did learn, I did not know the armor slope matter THAT much, next time I am wiser ------------------ In the flat field I get bored...

at about 400-600 meters. I was stunned after watching the movie. Maybe I am just a beginner in this bouncing business, but how high can that score go!!?? ------------------ In the flat field I get bored...

Many thanks David! That really made the thing clear for me. Thanks again, I had the whole wrong impression about bocage. PS. I am glad there are other Bauhaus fans as well ------------------ In the flat field I get bored...

Thanks for reply Probably You are right about the sneak issue. But the fist point really happened and twice in the same scenario. Maybe it is the issue WHERE exactly the troops are, I placed the squad on spot where computer showed the bocage would begin, so they were NOT INSIDE the bocage but rather behind it. If they are right behind the bocage, they won`t see a thing through the bocage. And people have adviced to place the troops on spot where the bogace begins, not inside of it, so they have cover, concealment and los through it. But when under fire they try to go throgh the bocage to other side probably cause in the other side there are some woods and in the same side there is flat field. I came up with this theory. But anyway this should not be so. ------------------ In the flat field I get bored...

Hello I am in a "alerted" state and cannot do search therefore... Maybe it is covered before, BUT infantry behind the bocage when discovered by enemy tank, or more likely blows cover by opening up the fire against tank commander 30 meters away, runs under fire THROUGH bocage to the other side where the enemy tanks are NOT the other side where it would be protected by BOCAGE. Due to this behaviour infantry units are standing erect, taking fire till they die trying to run throug bocage. This is totally illogical. And another minor thing: Infantry while sneaking STOPS even when enemy tank fires at them from 300 meters ie. is following sneak order - move to contact. Is there any possibility to tweak the sneak order so that "move to contact" is implemented only in case of soft targets and AFV-s what the infantry REALLY CAN damage. Waiting for the replies. ------------------ In the flat field I get bored...

What about the ancient Banshee 16Megs AGP. Has anyone updated DirectX with this card? Where are the drivers? ------------------ In the flat field I get bored...

TOAW used the variable game ending very successfully. The game went on a turn or even two when the situation was on the edge and it could ended a turn earlier when all was clear. So Battlefront guys should implement variable ending. But what they have to say about this? ------------------ In the flat field I get bored...

The page is down BTW! I at least cannot access irt right now. And I suppose Estonia must collaborate with Finns, there is only me from this little Baltic state :-( ------------------ In the flat field I get bored...

How can I improve performance most cheaply? Buy more RAM 64 MB? Update/overclock processor? How much can 233 2 MMX improved? I think upgrading my graphics accelerator is useless in current processor speed, right? ------------------ In the flat field I get bored...

I have seen discussions about forgotten wives (which my wife didn`t find amusing) But I have noticed that I now when playing activly CM, drink less. My conciousness doesn`t allow me to guide my forces while under influence of alcohol (hangover included) Having hangover reduces my willingness to play CM and this is certainly dangerous.

There were other nations as well in Red Army All Caucasian nations spoke in the military their own language (among themselves) And in the desperate moments like cries: 1) Moma 2) we all gonna die etc. could be in other nations language as well.

I apologise of being off topic first. Hello Ciks, I am from Estonia Tallinn and have searched long people from other Baltic states in this forum. Maybe we could even play a game, there is always some rivalry among neighbors My e-mail: christdump@hot.ee

Personally for me, having an Eastern Front would be excellent, because that war went over my own country (Estonia, that is (it's a country in Eastern Europe, on a Baltic coast, former Soviet republic), i would find it attractive to fight along Narva river line and Tartu

In the Tuturial mission "Fire and Maneuver" -SORT OF A SPOILER-I had a German halftrack with full squad hit the AT mine, guys hopped out, nearby allies started shooting them, whole squad who survived AT mine hit ran like hell over the small slope - panicked of course- only to find out AP minefield, three explosions and they were all dead. Interesting to watch probably AI was having fun not me.

Only downsides were the lacking infantry graphics, the absence of dead bodies and blood, guts, cut limbs etc All other was revolutionary. Seems that in big companies there is surplus of graphic desingners and lack of true innovational programmers... ------------------ In the flat field I get bored...

There were work battalions as well in Soviet army. Maybe we can see squads armed with shovels and saws... Red Estonian battalions were sent to the rear areas as work battalions cause in the battle for Velikje Luki some "comrades" changed sides and joined encircled!!! German garrison in Velikje Luki. Estonian battalions were allowed to fight again 1944 to reoccupy Estonia and so our people ended up killing eachother... Oops this was offtopic, I guess

Sorry about question maybe not too closely related to CM But I noticed Madmatt saying that game ran fine with DX 8.0 alpha. Great, but I was unable to locate the site they (or anyone else) downloaded it. Latest I found was 2-nd beta.

Have not seen this in CM yet However in Northern Russia (Ust-Luga river and along Narva river in Estonia) and Belorussia there were extensive marsh areas and I think Germans lost there some heavy tanks.

Read the forum about gamey recon techniques. But what are the totally legal and realistic recon practiced in WW 2 and can be used in CM? Thank You
