Ground is bumpy enough to find hull down spots and berms Moon?

Nice Magnum!

Brilliant thanks!

This is well cool - great images there Fox. Any others to whet the appetite?

So Madmatt - any more details on what's in it please? A full mission? A tutorial, what tank/s? smith

Moon, speaking of the demo - can you give us an idea what's in it? Is it the same as the Ruski one?

I'm eagerly awaiting this demo...

Release the demo already Moon! I'm dying over here! Please, won't somebody think of the children???

Not going to stop me...

Hehe - it's 1:24 apparently. If you type in "remote control tank" into Ebay you should find heaps!

Check this out - I bought it cheap on Ebay - a remote-controlled Leopard!

Looking forward to trying this one out..

Easy there big fella! It was a damn fine game, "in my opinion", which was the phrase that must have dropped off your message...

I found the same problem in 1,000 to 1,500 pt QBs using Australian troops - couldn't afford any off-map arty support in combined arms fights.

Foamy, you've been practicing, you bugger! smith

Thanks fk. smith

Thanks for the clarification Michael, but my core question still hasn't been answered - is there an issue with availability of FOs for Allied forces in QBs with combined arms (ie in terms of the points available for artillery), or is it simply a matter of making larger QBs? smith

G'day In two combined arms meeting engagement QBs, one at 1,000 pts and one at 1,250, with me as Allied regular, both around 1941, I have been unable to get enough points for any on-map artillery support - not even a 3 inch mortar spotter. Has anyone else noticed a rarity in arty for allied? At what point level in combined arms would I get some of the queen of the battlefield? cheers smith

Got mine today too (also Sydney Australia) - haven't installed it yet, but soon. Oh yes, soon! smith ps - loving the demo! [ December 09, 2003, 03:44 AM: Message edited by: Brian Smith ]

Thanks Firefly - the usual quick, accurate response found on the CM boards. cheers, smith (now wiser)

G'day all Playing the demo (ordered CMAK too) and got a surprise with the spotter and TRPs. I never played CMBB (stuck with CMBO) so this may be something you are all used to, but at the start of the second CMAK demo scenario (in Italy) I targeted a TRP with my US spotter, intending (with the anticipated couple of minutes orders delay) to provide some cover for advancing infantry. I got a big surprise when shells started landing in the first turn. I got an even bigger surprise when I couldn't cancel the target and all my spotter's ammo was expended over the next two turns. Is this a new feature in the post-CMBO series of have I missed a way of cancelling the arty? If so I'll have to get used to using TRPs differently. smith

So my apologies for delays in PBEMs. smith

I had an ex-army Haflinger for a while when I was younger... Fun. smith

Stix Great news mate - have to buy in a stock of vid tapes - hope I'm not stuck in NZ then!!! smith

Ah, the tyranny of distance... smith
