M. Bates I'd have to respectfully disagree on the armor point - first time my brother played (he's a vet of desert storm) I watched the entire battle to answer any questions he might have. He promptly lost all of his armor (2 shermans i think) and faced a Pz IVG and a StuG. Long story short - with careful play he took out the German armor with bazookas, and got a DRAW. I was impressed, and i think me watching added the psychological factor (motivation) he needed. -Maxx ------------------ The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know - HS Truman

Playing CM, like any active human process requires constant decision making. There was a great book i read a while ago called 'The Inner Game of Golf'. All the author dealt with was the psychological aspects of the game.. absolutely no mechanics. How to get 'up' for the game and to remain 'up' no matter what. How to weigh various criteria and discard usless information. This model could be applied to playing CM - or life in general Seems to me - in life, in sport (more so team than individual), in career, in war, yes, even in dating! The winner is generally the one who wants it more. *puts on helmet, dives into foxhole* *hide mode ON* -Maxx ------------------ The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know - HS Truman

Titan, I'm sure your loss was a bitter pill to swallow - been there. However, you do get my respect for keeping your word and posting - And for taking the abuse here as a result. BTW - wanna play a pbem? I need some target practice ------------------ ------------------------- The only thing new in the world is the history you don't know - HS Truman

Pig, Do a search for the thread. I believe Steve said 'several weeks'.

Tiger, I love it. Thank you. Now where the heck can i find it?

Thank you Steve!

Ok well as long as we're putting up links to our favorite Onion articles.. here's mine. Enjoy! (Matt or Dog - but.. but.. this IS CM related! ) http://www.theonion.com/onion3412/enemytryouts.html

Dick here's a hint: Its a parody of the youth in Germany having too much time on their hands.. it has not a thing to do with the murder of millons. But for the record, you get a gold star for being morally superior, k?

pzvg - thanks. My whole raison d'etre for posting the link was to bring a smile - certainly not to promote or glorify neo-nazism.

John Keegan's A History of Warfare

It's a joke.. a parody. Satire. You see? *sigh*

gotta see this - http://www.onion.com/onion3313/retrogerman.html

Yes. Kill things before they kill you . --------------------- Bring up the piat!!

As long as im requesting... There was a TV Series on Discovery or History channel called 'Wings of the Red Star' What was that theme music?? Russian Chorus march type deal. Its awesome. Thanks again. Did you say Brittany Spears? Ick.

(I did a search ) Still looking for a decent mp3 of 'Wenn die Soldaten'. Has anyone come across one? Actually any of the music used in World at War would be helpful (as mp3's). Thanks

I'll be honest.. i ordered cc5 before i had seen CM. Now I have both retail versions. After looking at CC5 I know I probably won't play it for a while if at all. Cant handle being locked into 2d when there is a whole 3d world in CM - and i have been a cc addict since cc1. Thank-you BTS.

Congrats to BTS! This NYT article will be positively huge for future sales. Don't sell out to Microsoft, whatever you do.. please!

Thanks guys

I apologize if this has been asked previously - I just bought the sim but don't have it yet.. Are the maps bigger in the retail version than the demo scenario maps ? Thanks
