I don't like to post twice in the same thread,but that is impressive Stryker and deserves recognition.

Or you could be a lurker.

I thought you had to paint the house before you got any...well at least mow the lawns.

Sounds great,would love a copy too please at :chrisani@ihug.co.nz.
cheers mate.

Well Caeser I have to say that balance has been restored to the universe.I just lost a Mk VIII Churchill to a frontal shot from a schreck at a tad over 150 metres.
Guess I'm gonna have to increase that infantry screen out 200 metres.

Are you using version 1.12?
As the unrestricted option doesn't exist on the straight out of the box CD version.

It's 11pm,15 minutes of quick sex followed by 2 and 3/4 hours of non stop passionate CM playing.
OMG has my life come to this.

Zhukov used the only resource available and saved mother Russia.If anything he's one of the greats.

Just took out a Panther at 1300metres with a single C shot from a Mk VIII Churchill.Admittedly a very lucky shot.I suppose loading them up with 20 plus of C shot would be just a little too gamey.

I use a similar technique to coralsaw.I also like to buy 2 or 3 larger calibre mortars and attach them to the spotter as well.With a good set up you can be bringing fire down in your first turn.

Technically speaking English is actually a member of the Germanic family of languages and was originally used on the European continent as a kind of pigeon language for trade amongst the Peasants of Europe.It's greatest advantage is it's infinite adaptability which was probably first shown to us by none other than William Shakespeare himself and more recently by the people of America(of which I should point out I am not a one).

I play the Brits fairly regularly and have become quite partial to a Churchill VIII,Cromwell IV(40mph) combo.The Churchill works well as a kinda mobile pill box although as previoulsy mentioned as an anti tank weapon it is best for shorter ranges,you don't wanna waste those c shots unnecassarily.The Cromwells protect the Churchills flanks and they are brisk,I see them like a fast Sherman.
Of course for those pop up long range shots it's hard to beat the Firefly or Challenger.

As a struggling student I was unable to justify the cost of buying CM.However,I went halves with a friend of mine in a similar predicament and we now do a week about with the CD.We have resisted the urge to burn a CD copy off as we both support the ethos of BTS.We meet one day a week(usually),where we play a hot seat game and hand the CD over to whoevers turn it is.This also means that at least 2 weeks in every month we actually manage to get some studying done.

Um,err.Well in that case disregard my previous post Peter.

Hey Pete.
Most of the libraries around NZ have the official tomes of the various NZ battalions that fought during WW2.They're pretty comprehensive.I vaguely recall the one on the Maori battalion(I forget which number it was now)detailing a raiding party on German positions at night.Anyway check them out they're well worth a read.

Left Quickdraw RAVE on and turned off all other Quickdraw and ATI extensions as per your suggestion Schrullenhaft.Am now running in software mode(although it ain't nowhere near as purdy to look at).
Can probably assume it's an ATI conflict somwhere.The only other 3D usage is for Quicktime(which I wouldn't have thought would be a problem) and Myth 2.I dunno I'm clutching at straws here.
The pref file I removed is "Combat Mission BO Demo" in the prefs folder.Was the only CM related prefs file I could find,although it doesn't seem to have made any difference.See how fepp goes in software mode.

I am having the EXACT same problem with the demo.
However there the similarity ends.I'm running a Rev B iMac with a mere 32MB of ram(64MB virtual).Thought this may have been the problem(the RAM that is) but as fepp has 192MB it would appear not.ATI Rage Pro with 6MB and the only thing in common with fepp is OS 8.6.Have reduced sceen size,trashed prefs,reduced to basic set of extensions(with 32MB you can't run much anyway) but to no avail.
If I hit esc from where it hangs at "the loading 3D graphics" I go to the desktop.Select CM demo from the finder and a white screen appears.I cannot quit or shutdown from the demo(although I can return to the desktop),I have to reset via paper clip.
Had run the earlier demo without the slightest hint of a problem and thoroughly enjoyed it.Thought I'd just check the gold demo prior to purchasing but have been unable to get it to run.Anyway I'm sure it can be sorted,will keep trying.

I've also got a widescreen iMac.Haven't seen the flags but I do recall seeing shell craters on their side.Of course I more than likely had the flags turned off.
