    Torpedo 6 (USS Enterprise) 10 out of 14 shotdown

    Torpedo 8 (USS Hornet) 15 out of 15 shotdown (one survivor out of 30 men Ens. George Gay)

    IIRC Capt. von Trapp was an officer in the old Austrio-Hungarian Navy during WW1. The Austrio-Hungarian Empire did have a Navy and access to the Med.

    I can't be more specific than that right now since my wife has hid all of my WW1 referance books in her current "reorganization" of our library.

    Hey,

    Navare I wanted to apologize to you, in all seriousness.. I felt like a total schmuck when I drove away and realised that I hadnt chipped in for the tab... But that gives us an excuse to meet up again..

    Don't stress about it too much. Just think of it as the beer I promised you to get people there in the first place.

    ;)

    It was nice to see that some of you actually exist and are not figments of my imagination, like my wife says yu all are.

    The best part of the evening had to be when the people at the next table over started giving us sideways glances as we talked about 8" artillery and destroying houses with it.

    Unfortunatly, it turns out I will not be able to be avalilable on Oct 27 as I planned to be so someone else will have to carry the torch for that one. I will hold you all up to buying me drinks at the next one I can make though. :D

    Cheers!

    San Diego CMer's (and those willing to drive to San Diego).

    Next Saturday, October 13, general get together, for those that can make it, at Shakespeare's. I will get there at 7:00pm and grab a table if you can make it please let me know via email or post here, check my profile for my email address. If you have CMBO on your laptop bring it along.

    For those of you who need more motivation, the first pitcher of Guiness will be on me.

    If you cannot make it on the 13th or have so much fun you cannot live without meeting again, there will be another get together on the 27th of October also.

    Email for directions if you need them.

    The 94th Aero Squadron, while nifty, is, I think, primarily a brunch place. I don't recall seeing a bar there, but it's been awhile. I'm preferential to Shakespeare's on Washington -- good beer, nice patio smile.gif<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    There is a bar in the 94th Aero Squadron but it is a small one. I was also thinking along the lines of Shakespeare's . A much bigger area with tables that can seat more the three people.

    Next two weeks are full for me.. We need to elect a grand Pooba to set this up, and make it for a month out, so more people can make it

    . Lawyer lives too far away, and his bar tab is way too high right now.

    So who is going to buy all the drinks and organize this thing?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    I volunteer to organize this thing, buying drinks well that is another story.

    Are any of the San Diego people intrested in an inital meeting down here and then plan something in centeral for all the So Cal gamers?

    Post here or email me and I will start a list.

    New Video Card and CMBO won't run!

    in Combat Mission - Tech Support

    Posted

    I recently instaled a new video card for my computer and when I attempted to run Combat Mission the game locked-ip after the configuration set-up leaving staring at a black screen.

    The video card is the Elsa, Gladiac 511, based on the NVIDA GeForce 2. It has the latest drivers and my computer has Direct X 8a installed.

    Any ideas? I need my CMBO fix! :D

    Thanks

    The 77mm gun was actually a modified version of the 17-pdr. "It fired a round with a reduced propellant charge. It was known as the 77mm for logisstic differentiation."

    Re: Longest Day. Yes, I believe we played one of the small scenarios, and it still took an entire day of intensive playing to finish it. Those days are gone for me. Nowadays, I prefer computer wargames. No more cardboard. No more arguments over rules. Always an opponent (the AI) who is available, etc...

    I know the feeling. No more carefree summer vacations to waste unfortunately. I think my wife would kill me if I took over our office for a full year.

    I played the largest scenario once (and only once) with a friend. It took about five hours to do one complete move (over 5,000 pieces on the board) and about 14 months to finish the game.
