Mord

Cool (Oops! I missed where you said you activated them). Enjoy the battle. I am sure rocketman will be interested in your opinion when it's over. And again, glad to know you are still around. Mord. (Note to self): "hear" not "here".

No, the bottom left corner of the tank. I don't see any tread. Mord.

Or better yet...a game set in The Nam. Great little pictorial history, man. Very cool. Mord.

I absolutely wouldn't discount playing other nations whether they be Axis or Allies (yeah, I get the "I identify with the Americans 'cause I am one" kick) because you are really selling yourself short. The great fun in playing nations that are alien to you is that they open up a completely new horizon, you get to learn about their formations, equipment and vehicles/armor, which can also open up new interests in your reading, researching, and documentary watching. And the lack of familiarity can be very exciting in battle what with everything being completely new. Trust me on this, I remember when BFC announced CMBB and I was like meh, I guess I'll give it a chance and man did I find it cool once I tried it out. Same with CMAK and the same with Shock Force. I highly doubt they could offer up a front or time period that wouldn't have me interested at this point, especially anything historical because CM is a learning tool as much as a game...at least for me. I for one am REALLY looking forward to playing the Hungarians, Romanians, Finns and Italians again on the East Front (if they add them). So, my point is, don't close your mind because of self imposed biases, in the end you could end up really missing out. Free your mind and your AS (action spot) will follow... Oh, and GET BOTH! Mord. P.S. There is a lot more to BN than just bocage battles you just need to seek them out—maybe start a thread for a list of non bocage battles.

I am good, my man. Glad to here you are more radio silent than MIA. You might write Steve and let him know what happened with buying the VP pack twice. Also maybe start a thread/ticket on why you can't register the VP pack. Mord.

Cool! You are welcome. I love seeing stuff I make in people's screens/AARs/Vids. Glad it was useful. Mord.

And what might I ask is going on here (back left corner)—game play anomaly...or something cooler? Mord.

I just tested it and it works fine for me. Maybe you have a corrupt file or your install is screwy? Where the hell have you been? I was just wondering about you. Mord.

Yes, Sburke nailed it. I hope one day they'll implement it. It would be really cool to have customized markings and/or camo on each vehicle. I doubt it would be that much of a drain on your comp as long as you weren't fielding a battalion. We already have the deal where we could theoretically load up 70 different uniforms with 70 different helmets for each side. It must be something in the code that keeps it from happening but considering there was no way at all to have multiple textures in CMSF, the fact we can now (though not at all optimal) must mean they were looking into the future when they coded CMBN. Mord.

LOL. FAT chance buddy boy. As for vehicles, I have brought up the issue of the game not matching hull to turret (and how hard would it be to code?) about four times and have received crickets. The opportunity is there to have multiple vehicles skins (and it can already be done if the camo is kept the same and only decals are applied) I just don't know why I haven't been able to get an answer on it for the last 4 years. Mord.

Also you should keep in mind CMBN isn't old. It's as up-to-date as Red Thunder (minus tank riders). How many wargames released in 2011 can claim they are on par with a game released three years later? Not many. Mord.

"(no it isn't)"...LMAO! I didn't know what any of that meant until I read Steve's post. That's some pretty funny moderating. Mord.

Steiner has to be the most tenacious troll we've ever had. This makes it number five. Mord.

Thanks, George, glad you like them. Mord.

The green text on the left side of the screen when you click on a unit when the battle is over...gives you a list of what they took out. It's called "combat victories" now. Most of us always referred to it as the "kill list". Mord.

It doesn't. The best you can get is direct fire mortar (possibly on map fire mission) stats. I don't remember the reasoning but we were happy as hell when they included kill lists in CMBN because they were MIA in the SF and A-Stan titles. It was one of the old CMX1 features I was most hoping for. Mord.

Combat Mission; Bringing families together...so they can kill each other. Mord.

Did someone say 5th Panzer Division? Looks sweeping and legendary, George. I am really looking forward to playing all your latest stuff once I am done this mod from East Front Hell. Mord.

Thanks Fizou. You're welcome, Wally. It's been a ton of work. I discovered that I hadn't prepped all my infantry divisions and when I thought I was just about done I get the nice surprise that I missed about thirty. I just now finished those shields. Gotta do the extra portraits now. God, I can't wait until I can put these infantry guys to rest. I am so sick of them! Mord.

Looks like a nice one for some infantry vs infantry action. The water area looks really nice. Mord.

No problem, man. A lot of us enjoy helping out. The collective knowledge here is pretty vast (in all aspects) and spreading it makes the game and community stronger. I dig your excitement...it's fun to watch (read). And if you remember all those cool little moments in CMBB that could happen during a scenario, you are gonna see even more in CMBN...at a much finer level of detail. They will really get you pumped up. Here's a nice example from Macisle. http://community.battlefront.com/topic/100099-cmbn-screenshot-thread-2/page-78#entry1542341 Mord.

Ahem... http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=314&func=fileinfo&id=2288 http://www.battlefront.com/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=314&func=fileinfo&id=2045 Not near as good as it would be for BFC to do a title but it has been tried. Vein's effects... http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods?author_id=336&game_type=7 Will work with all CM games. And go ahead and sign up, GAJ's has a lot of stuff that isn't on the Repos and it's easier to find things there as well. Mord.

Sorry, was away even though I have a window open on the site. I just typed in the 5.56mm and played around with the font and the size. That was Courier New at 9pt. Yeah, I think it would be too cluttered even if you could fit the range on there. You could take a look at one of Marco's mods and see what he does. Mord.

But better. Would help out a lot when acquiring ammo that's for sure. Mord.
