Does anyone know what I can do or where I can download some No CD patches? I know you guys frown on this, but i KNOW you would do the same if you couldn't find CM . Someone please help me! Thanks, Matt M.

Bump... Also, the link you gave doesn't work because it has a period on the end. BTW, do you have Operation Flashpoint yet TeAcH? Matt M.

I don't know about you guys, but if my tank/AT gun fires RIGHT after it is fired at, it seems that the accuracy goes way down. Is this real or am I imagining things? Matt M.

Geez, Kingfish and securityguard! I've been on this forum almost as long as you have, and I'm treated like a n00b! (member #4281, it's those damn PENG CHALLENGES! ) That was pretty funny though, Kingfish. Matt M. De Oppresso Liber

I'm a little confused on how to use special weapons, such as satchel charges, fausts, rifle grenades, etc. When in range of, say a tank, does the squad automatically use it? If so, what is the maximum distance for a charge or a rifle grenade? Thanks, Matt M. De Oppresso Liber

Thx Wilhammer, that really helped me out a lot. I figured Kingfish was being sarcastic (send heavy arty on my troops that I'm trying to save?!) too. Matt M. [ 06-27-2001: Message edited by: Ezmartini ]

I'm also not under ANY fire, so that could change things. So far the best thing seems to be crawling.

I think that sounds like a good idea. It seems like it wouldn't be too taxing on a system, but the coding process would be more difficult. Matt M.

I'm also wondering about the same thing Mr. Johnson is: Are tanks and troops less noticeable in scattered trees when in or not in foxholes? Matt M.

HELP!!! My squads have stumbled across minefield that happens to be RIGHT where I sent them to go! They are hiding right in the middle of it. If I wanted to get them out with minimal casualties, what are some precautions that I can do? I don't have a engineer units nearby, so I am screwed in that category. What would be the best speed, get the hell out or walk cautiously? I would appreciate any feedback. P.S. I've already considered bending over and kissing my nards goodbye. Matt M. De Oppresso Liber

1. A yellow targeting line is incoming. Red is a outgoing. Orange-ish is Area Target 2. Flamethrowers are mostly useless unless there is no unit covering a pillboxes flanks. They are good at burning down buildings and for burning units up in night fighting. I use engineers as normal infantry, and if I'm lucky, maybe I can flank a pillbox or bunker. 3. To use HQ units useful, keep them close enough to the platoon so that there is a red command line, not a black one. (A black one means the HQ is out of command-and-control range.) Just keep them encircled by the platoon and you will do just fine. Different HQ units have different attributes, but all of them are good for corraling broken units. 4. Keep them hidden in spots that have a fast escape route and a good field of view. To fire artillery, target an area like you normally would. You can fire artillery with or without line of sight, but without takes a long time, and it's not as accurate. 5. Oops, shoulda given you the site beforehand . Good luck, Matt M. P.S. Wanna play a demo game when you get better? [ 06-26-2001: Message edited by: Ezmartini ]

I gotta vote for French leader de Gaulle. What kind of leader wussies up his military when he knows the Axis are bloodthirsty for imperialism? Matt M. De Oppresso Liber

Actually, before I knew it was only available online, I read a CGW review and immediately went to buy it at the local Best Buy. After noticing it wasn't there, I bought Ground Control for $15 instead. Then I DL'd the demos and wished I knew it was online-available only. So NOW I'm interested in WWII again and ordered it. Matt M. De Oppresso Liber!!

After having the beta and gold demos for a YEAR, I'm finally getting the full game!! Now I can't wait for it to come! :mad: Matt M. De Oppresso Liber!!

I would absolutely LOVE it if Big Time did a game like CM that had all the new high-tech gear and everything. Think of helos flying around, SAMs taking them out, and getting spray-and-pray carpet bombing runs. Meanwhile, you could have ground troops with NVGs and and all the new Land Warrior gear. Rangers and other SpecOps units are raiding enemy bases and everything. I haven't visited the forums in a LONG time, so sorry if this has been brought up. P.S. I still only have the CM demo (I know, I know, even after having it for a year), so I would like to know something: Are there Ranger Batts or anything like that in the game? Matt M. De Oppresso Liber!!

Jeez Elvis, Hitting the ground right in front of you, that's what I call HULL DOWN! ------------------ "You see, while I've been gone you loony chumchucks have thrown Peng in a ditch, ran Frenchie out of town and reduced Seanachai to a four-sentence-max-posting wretch. To compound this, you have managed to create an entire fantasy world for me to occupy that consists almost but not entirely of a Polar Bear's rectum. And, AND, you moved the Cesspool to Australia. You should be ashamed of yourselves." - Elijah Meeks RUN LIKE HELL - CM/Cross Country motto

Just like Gamespot, CGW is having Reader's Choice Awards. Along with me, many other people want CM to get more credit than it gets now (except maybe BTS, they got their hands full already ) So go to www.computergaming.com and vote for CM! ------------------ "You see, while I've been gone you loony chumchucks have thrown Peng in a ditch, ran Frenchie out of town and reduced Seanachai to a four-sentence-max-posting wretch.

Roger that, MoJo. I sent a couple mails considering your absence, but I can understand the computer problems (my dad screws his up all the time).

Shatter, My grandfather died when I was really little, so I don't remember him. My mom said he served in the war, but never talked or wanted to talk about it. Nobody ever really knew much about his early life except his wife. Anyhoo, I just found out that my mom gave his military issue WWII .45 pistol to our neighbors (it's a long story, but they helped her for years because our well went dry)! When the neighbor dies though, the gun is supposed to come back to me. When my mom found out how much I liked WWII, she told me and knew I would be heartbroken . Just thought I'd share something in common with us. ------------------ "You see, while I've been gone you loony chumchucks have thrown Peng in a ditch, ran Frenchie out of town and reduced Seanachai to a four-sentence-max-posting wretch.

Think of all the big battles of not only Europe, but the Pacific. I think D-Day shouldn't be portrayed as the most ONLY important operation, because other men around the world worked just as hard to help the Allies.

Germanboy is the leader so far with over 2000. Any more? Moderators don't count, sorry. P.S. Still looking forward to our game, Townsend. [This message has been edited by Ezmartini (edited 12-29-2000).] [This message has been edited by Ezmartini (edited 12-29-2000).]
