If someone had said to me twent...thirt...hell it's closer to fourty years ago that the sex pistols would be played at the 2012 Olympic opening,I'd have rammed them thru their heart with my oh so spikey hair. OMG Sid Vicious is part of the establishment.

CM 2.0 Ripoff - wrong payment strategy
Chek replied to superfly71's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
My 15 year old son is a keen MMORPG player.I have managed to squeeze the odd CM game out of him so he has a vague idea of how it works.When I asked him if he thought CMBN fitted into the category of Multi Player he just laughed. It's a Wargame. It's a lot easier to learn than wading through mountains of rule books or painting up hundreds of soldiers. The GUI is easier to deal with than bickering over a mm or two or whether that tree obscures line of sight or not. It has actual fog of war and if you've ever played a game when the dice have gone against you,you'd realise it's a lot more balanced and less random. For the price of an infantry company or two I can get access to a whole theatre and most importantly I can spend a LOT more time wargaming. The whole MP thing I find completely perplexing.However I do trust BFs judgment they've carved out a niche with a unique product in an enviroment where uniformity and lack of imagination are the mainstay and if they should decide to develop a MP product I will not hesitate to purchase it because I know from 12 years experience(and when you get down to it experience is all we really have)that battlefronts attention to detail and customer support are 2nd to none. Dismiss me as a Fanboy/boi if you want but the reality is I am the core audience and it's people like me that have supported this company because they know and understand us and if they stay true to us(of which I have no doubt)we will stay true to them. Right I've had me rant,off to winkle out some very pesky Canadians holed up in a building. -
Have read the Sicily bit in Atkinsons The Day of Battle.Does seem more like a newspaper article,enjoyable all the same.I do like how he does make a point of mentioning the suffering of the civilians,the jam in the sandwich so to speak.

True dat, didn't even bother asking for an Italian series just assumed it would never happen.Counted myself lucky to get it the first time around and here I am posting in the Fortress Italy forum. CM just keeps getting better and better for me. -

Take ur pic m8 wot eva 1 u want

Definitely not,16,000 German casualties attest to that.The plan was to hold on untill France and England showed up as promised.Unfortunately the only other nation to show up was Russia and they hadn't come to help. The whole tank-cavalry thing was(to cut a long story short) nazi propaganda which the then allies were more than happy to run with along the lines of the Poles didn't stand a chance anyway.

I notice sdp's been kinda quite too since well roughly over the CMFI development period. Coincidence...maybe.

I'm not quite sure what the point of hitting the unpause would be,just a simple off command would do.
