oh curses... how disappointing... BUT maybe BTS could contradict our fears!!! Please tell me 1st quarter BTS, PLEASE!!!!

Madmatt I could kiss you if it wasn't for the fact that we are seperated by thousands of miles and I dont know what you like and I could be arrested and...

Id like to make a written statement about the aformentioned incident... I in no way intended to offend anybody by using the phrase GODDAM. This was merely an attempt to catch the attention of BTS and vent my frustation at not yey owning CMBB. I am also a little short of social skills and often use poor language at inappropriate times. For this I am sorry. I'd like to particularly apologise to Madmatt. I know what a sensitive young man he is and did not mean to upset him. P.S. I thought begging might do SOMETHING!!! Just a strategy I'd thought I'd try. Who knows? P.P.S. Why are people so G*DD*M touchy? [ February 20, 2002, 11:42 AM: Message edited by: Lordfluffers ]

Thanks Krazy, sometimes I wish I could kiss you! :eek:

In CMBO, buildings that are damaged have a * or ** in the bottom corner denotating 50% and 75% damage. Will CMBB display different BMPs for each of these stages or not? I.e a 50% damaged bmp for each builfding type etc. I hope so because towns in CMBO are far too clean. The buildings are either spotless or rubble!

Please BTS,such silence is more torture than I can take!!! A few pics, an update, even a working release date?? Please, Oh God please.............

You must be trying to download from Tom's site using Netscape, or something other than MS Internet Explorer. QB]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Nah Im using IE!!! It downloads a file that is 64.5kb big! Obviously Winzip tells me it is unable to open the file!!! I think it must be the DL itself...

Thanks Michael!! Unfortuanetly the download doesn't seem to be working. You couldnt get it running again could you??

Please anyone... Manx???

Where are they??? Where can I get em???

No. Action Packs 1 and 2 are at Combat Missions but 3 (tank crews) and 4 (commonwealth uniforms) arent there!

Help me!! I can't download Fox's superb Commonwealth pack from Toms site, it keeps screwing up. Is there anywhere else it is posted?? Help me... please..............aaarrggghhh :mad:

Thats a beautiful mod Feldgrau!!! Hurry up and post it!!!

As far as I can see, the little box with 'clear' terrain is there to show you what terrain the unit is on or in, not necessarily what the weather conditions are.

War games usually attempt to recreate war rather than glorify it. IF a war game does it job well, it should goive a player some idea about how terrible and cruel war was. CMBO does this very well IMO. Watching the way troops have been blown away or watching the sheer destructiveness of artillery, armor pushes home what a terrible thing war is. Also I believe that learning and understanding the past helps us learn about how to stop similiar situations happening again. I love war games but I hope I never have to become embroiled in war in my life. Some games arguably glorify war or killing such as Soldier of Fortune, however all this is supposed to be light hearted entertainment. I doubt any pc gamer really would consider war fun or enjoy these situations in real life!!!

Fantastic!! I nearly wet myself, the pics look stunning, CrazyDawg is doing a superb job of modelling those AFV skins. And the terrain and skys are just too sexy as well. If the coding matchs the excellence of Crazy's artwork... Oh please God please...

Team effort. -dale<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> They did it a lot more by themselves though and they probably would have done it all by themselves albeit a lot slower and at a greater cost. The Americans and the Brits would not have been, and were completely unable to make such a huge contribution!! (in my humble opinion anyway!! ) A team effort with 85% of the effort going to the Soviets. Britain and America 7.5% each.

The 76mm is a completely different gun to the 75mm. It is not simply a longer barrelled version like the German 75mm gun on the MarkIV that replaced the shorter one. Thats why it is called a 76mm gun!!! It is more probable I think, that the 76mm which was already being developed for the Sherman was considered a much better upgunning proposal than the costs of producing, designing and fitting a lengthened 75mm gun. Im sure some grog will confirm or deny this was the case later. P.S. the Germans preferred to keep the 75mm calibre because most of their AT and field artillery were also 75mm. ALso when they discovered how obsolete their MkIII 50mm's and MkIV short 75mm's were against T34's and KV's they needed a speedy solution i.e. the long barrelled 75mm.

Yep you're right, the turret ring was far too small, all British tanks up till 1943/4 were designed to fit onto standard gauge British railways making them not wide enough to fit the 17 pounder. This why the Sherman Firefly was the only British tank to fit the gun. Ironically it was a US design could fit the British gun. The Black Prince was a widened Cromwell rather than a Churchill if I recall correctly though!

You can fire the Piat from anywhere without setting a building on fire or pinning your own men. It also as good penetration. the Piat is much better IMO.

Right now I've got only a foot of snow outside where I live, but that's because there's been very little snow this winter and March has been very warm... Thats all very well Olle, but not very relevent if you don't live in France or Germany. you dont get a lot of snow in Febuary or March and definitely very little by April in France and Germany!
