German Losses East vs West Front
Firefly replied to Rebus_Badger's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
You need a better grog than me to give you exact numbers, but I remember Keegan in Six Armies in Normandy saying that DGAC was massive compared to the defeat in Normandy. As in Normandy the entire front collapsed, but the numbers involved were much higher. I can't even quote the the figures from Keegan as the person I lent the book to hasn't given it back yet . -
German Losses East vs West Front

Well the normal figure given for Jews murdered by the Nazis is 6 million. I know that a lot of the Jewish victims were Polish and that non-Jewish Poles were treated as a pool of slave labour by the Nazis, however 5.3 million civilians from a country the size of Poland is an appalling number. -

http://ww2bodycount.netfirms.com/ gives a breakdown of casualites, both civilian and military by country. I was well aware of the suffering that Russia endured, but the figures for Poland are quite shocking - 120,000 military personnel and 5.3 million civilians. -
Gamespot Nominates CMBB for Strat Game of the Year.
Firefly replied to Terrapin's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Wong forum for the argument, I know, but I'd say NWN was better than Morrowind . You're right though, like the Oscars, being nominated for these awards is an achievement in itself, it means that people who may not be aware of the games may take a look at the demo at least. Congrats to BFC. -
New games planned for CM system?
Firefly replied to ichadwick's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
The last time BFC replied on this they also used the word 'tentative' for the plans following the engine rewrite. I'm pretty sure that the Early War proposal was for 1939-40. I would hope that the Balkans were part of any Mediterranean game. -
Your machine will have no problems at all running CMBO even with hi-res mods, CMBO was designed for much slower machines. It should also have no problems withe CMBB, apart from the 'To the Volga' operation, which even 2.4 gig P4s and top range AMDs have problems running at an acceptable rate.

The CDV version has an ELSPA (industry self-regulators) rating of 11+. It doesn't look like the CDV CD which is mainly red in colour.

CAn anyone in UK with the patch help me????
Firefly replied to Lordfluffers's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
One of the German guys (Parabellum?) was saying the other day that CDV will send out the patch on CD. I don't know the details, but perhaps someone else can give them, or you could try a visit to their web-site. -
Ah, Don Featherstone's 'War Games', that brings back memories, my parent wouldn't stand for a sand table in my bedroom though, there wasn't enough room anyway. I just joined the 50+ club myself, perhaps we should start our own Clan . [ December 19, 2002, 07:38 AM: Message edited by: Firefly ]

If by 'Second Front' they mean, as is normally the case, the landings in Normandy, he was very much involved. Until that incident with the Typhoon.

Yes CDV released a German language version and an English language version (there may have been others) of CMBO. The screenshots are from the German language version of CMBO, judging by the interface and light coloured grass.

What are "gamey" tactics, exactly?
Firefly replied to Cpt. Cook's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Ooh I get to be first to repeat Patton's real life quote. 'Drive down that road and see what shoots at you.' Most 'gamey' tactics can be defeated by good tactics. Of course learning good tactics is not easy, I haven't managed myself yet. -
Never really cared for CC much (I tried 2 and 3), I think there weren't enough units for my tastes and the unit icons were always too small for my, admittedly poor, eyesight. I preferred the Steel Panthers series until CMBO came along.

What part of FlaK don't the 88's understand?!
Firefly replied to Brent Pollock's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
But MasterWaffleAleGood is your alter-alter-ego. Anyway this thread is confusing me I thought Berli was supposed to be the nasty one and Seanipoos the nice one. BTS fix or do somefink! -
