I'm not disagreeing with you there Chup. You've put up more than enough substantial evidence to show that everyone did not neccessarily die after a tank was knocked out. However, the (second)question i'm asking is based more on vehicles. I've seen Halftracks carrying an entire squad of men get his, and EVERYONE is dead, no survivors (especially if said vehicle brews up). I can't help but think just 1 man could've gotten out in time. Now, i'm sure there's some simple explanation for this so don't flame me if there is. I'm just tryin to learn. ------------------ "And that's how you take out a Pillbox using a kleenex, a paper clip and a rabid monkey. Any questions?"

I think I speak for a great many newcomers to CM when I say, for the love of god does this post ever end!??!?! ------------------ "And that's how you take out a Pillbox using a kleenex, a paper clip and a rabid monkey. Any questions?"

Well, I understand the "Slow fire" thing, so I can see how the casualites might be lower now. I guess this just made me think because of (at least in my games) the constant death of an entire crew when a vehicle is struck by a 'faust, or 'schreck or (Heaven help the Jeep MG) a Tank's HE round. Essentially anything that was fired from a gun caused massive casualties to the crew of the vehicle. Any opinions on that? ------------------ "And that's how you take out a Pillbox using a kleenex, a paper clip and a rabid monkey. Any questions?"

While I have my reservations about the differences in the weapons each side carried, I would support a CM-PTO game. Allthough, IMHO, I don't think you cna entirely represent the PTO without the Naval Warfare, but that's just me (see Midway). However, the notion of being able to fight through battles like Iwo Jima and Guadacanal does have an appeal. ------------------ "And that's how you take out a Pillbox using a kleenex, a paper clip and a rabid monkey.

Somehow, I really don't think there are any. ANY. From what i've learned about the wargamers on this board, cheating in a game such as CM would be sacriledge. ------------------ "And that's how you take out a Pillbox using a kleenex, a paper clip and a rabid monkey. Any questions?" -Sgt. Spoot

There's something I've noticed that's been irking me. I want to know about how many casualties your average tank crew takes when their tank is not only blown up but brews up. Quite a bit I see this happen in CM but the crew gets out with, usually, one casualty. Now, if there's something i'm missing, please, please, please inform me. And then inform me on the fastest way to kill the crew. ------------------ "And that's how you take out a Pillbox using a kleenex, a paper clip and a rabid monkey. Any questions?" -Sgt. Spoot
