try apple's site or www.versiontracker.com for the nVidia driver update.

Cool man! cya man! later dude!

109Gustav that was just a tounge in cheek joke. Nothing serious here. It was in fun, pointing out how riduclous this all is. Sorry to you that you did not get it

Maximus: My computer runs the super OS which is better then all OS's combined. You see this OS is better then any OS ever and ever. No pc can beat it becouse its a super secret OS that no one can buy and that no one even knows about. You see its really made by a secret company but the secret company is really a company that is named after a secret fruit. And the secret thing is about this super OS is it is... ahhh who cares.

Yeah Maximus cut the crap. The apple IIe is much better then a Pentium III.

Hehehe would be kinda neat though.

Well I agree with Abrams (and welcome back by the way). I have said it above twice so I'll leave it at that. However we all know that CMBO is finished and BTS will not return to it so maaybe there is hope for CM2 and its future iterations regarding this issue.

I dont think having motorcycle's cost 150 points is the way to go. They are harmless as a fly in most situations and even if they were bought by a young man trying be creative and take out your force with 30 motorcycle's it wont work. So having them at 150 is outlandish if the unit makes into CM. BTW if your concern is for historical accuracy then worry no more. BTS is implementing a hostorical rarity code into QB force selection. I suppose this might not work with motorcycles though. For what its worth the motorcycle is easily taken out. I wouldn't be to worried about *gamey * tactics with it. BTW refer to my second post on this thread about scenario design and CM.

Posted by PeterNZer <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> Soldiers didn't ride into battle on them, attacking enemy lines, people didn't dig them in to hold off the Russian hordes. So why put it in CM? Now folks could say that it would die quickly used in scouty combat so <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Either did Jeeps. You have some good points but I would be ancious to see further documentation regarding the use of the BMW motorcycle's in the german armed forces. So than the kublewagon was a waste of time for BTS? My points is that its still very neat to have these vehicles in the game because they represent historical units in WWII. This allows CM's users to reanact WWII ideas and storylines. In otherwords in CM we can reanact the CM battlefiled as we see fit. Think for a moment about having a very cool scenario based on a scouting party that goes wrong or is surprise attacked. A scenario that has just a few weak units or, one that is making a slow withdraw from the front (away from the front lines) and comes upon allied paratroopers. This is the beauty of CM. CM can be played as a renactment of WWII using the miniturization it provides. It really is a wonderful tool. And that is the beauty that CM is and provides (among other things). I believe that the more units we have in CM the better. Not from a game standpoint but from a historical standpoint and not ment to be used in competitve multiplay.

I was wondering if BTS has thought about puttin in the BMW R-75 with Sidecar or any of its variants? The BMW R-75 with Sidecar was equiped with or without the mg34 making it an excellent recon vehicle. I guess the main problem would be that it is super super fast. Making it a really cool and probably too fast for its own good in the game. But nontheless, it would be fantastic to have this in the game for CM2. I havent found any info on how many of the cycles were in use on the eastern front but I have just read that 38,000 of these vehicles (variants) were made during 1939 to 1941. Just how many were used I dont know. again I think this would be a really great additionto CM.

Agreed. running towards enemy fire is overdone in CM if you ask me. Too any times I have seen a squad run towards the enemy that is shooting at them. I know my tactics are bad but I think the run to to the enemy under fire is overdone in CM.

Well, there is a mac CM site somewhere out there. I cannot remember the url at all though. All mods are cross platform. Sounds and graphics except a few "grid" grass mods at CMHQ. However if you need or desire the "gridded" grass mod there is a mac specific one that works with macs only and not PC's. Enjoy. I reccomend the CMHQ for Madmatts modpacks. There are some amazing mods out there. Krawzydawg's hi-res Tiger, JagdTiger, and JagdPanther come to mind. They should be in the CM mod hall of fame. They are located at the CMHQ at here: http://www.combatmission.com/ and can be found in madatts modpacks and 3rd party mods. Combat Missions site is another place to go to see the latest in CM mods. That is at: http://www.combat-missions.net/ Well there are tons and I am sure you'll find lots to see. Enjoy CM and welcome to thecommunity.

Posted by Jarmo: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Maybe I'm just having hallucinations again, but I seem to remember the JagdTiger used to cost less than the King variant. But the prices were changed for some reason. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes i seem to remember that too. Cant remember why it was changed though.

Hi Abbott, Can you send the scenario to me e-mail address? panther561@yahoo.com

Great stuff Jeff Duquette. Great stuff. That just made my day. I love information like that. It reads well and is very informative. Thanks.

Interesting points.

Quoted by 109 Gustav: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>If you want to try an all tank vs. all infantry game, meet me on CMHQ chat tonight. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hey Gustav! I would like to give that a whirl. I would like to see what kind of position that will put me in. Post here again and we can get down to the details.

I killed a daimler AC at 193 meters with a veteren shreck.

Unfortunatly CM is not completely up to snuff in some area's of AI. For instance, in your case with the King Tiger, you would think that the TC would know that there is that sherman there on his flank, after all he was just firing at it. Hopefully these annoying things will be fixed up for the next series of CM, CM2 eastern front. [ 04-22-2001: Message edited by: Panther131 ]

Hopefully CM will be carbonized to run in OS X eventually. CM unfortunatly runs in rave, and apple has decided to forgo that api in OS X. But I think that with tweaking CM can be carbonized. (that being a hopeful thought)
