Don't forget about the Romanians, they played a big part in Stalingrad also, the main Russian attack came through them, of course with only 37mm AT guns how could they stop T34 tanks? That will make a tough battle in CM2.

I ordered it at the beginning of the week and I just got the shipping confirm e-mail today, you might want to check your e-mail again.

Well look at that, someone just did a Stug post, nevermind, lets stick with the first one.
What is everyone's opinion on the Stug? I have had very little success with them except in a defensive position behind a good hill. The armor is weak but it seems much better than the Hetzer against infantry. I would like to hear other peoples experiences with it. Also the price is right, less than 100 points I think?
Thanks Pvt.Tom

In order to save time I download the PBEM Files at work so when I get home I only have to pop the disk in and go, extra 5 min of CM per night, every little bit helps.

This is a little off topic but can someone clear this up for me? Steve said the difference between the M3 and M5 Stuart was where the were made, I thought the had different engines, a V8 I think for the M5? I love that little tank so I always like learning more about it if anyone knows.
Thanks Pvt.Tom

And even if they do let the computer pick the units, they get to see what units the computer chose for them before they send you the file, so, if they don't like what they got they can quit and try again. I tend to play with people I know that way I don't have to worry about cheating.

Anyone know of any Web Sites that contain first person accounts of WWII Battles or whatever? I could reaily go for a good short story now since I am snowed in.

I tried to do this to General Petrovsky once but he kicked my ass so fast I didn't have time to quit.
I have to say this has only happened to me once but it does suck, you spend 15 - 20 days playing a game, you are about to get the upper hand and boom, they stop sending turns back. What's up? Now days I tend to play the same people so it doesn't happen anymore.Pvt.Tom

That's normal, they are not very accurate. They just go wooosh out of the launcher and where they go no body knows.

You might want to try doing a search on this subject, I seem to recall a couple of threads that had bunches of good books to read.

At least the Allies have one area where their tanks are superior to the Axis. Long live the Allied Uber Light Tanks.

I got a lot of new books because of this Forum, right now I am reading Stalingrad by Antony Beevor, amazing story, can't wait for CM2 now.

Can you build a custom map in the editor and then use it in a quick battle?

CM2 sounds cool but I cannot wait for CM4, IMHO that is the coolest period of the war. Anyone else fascinated by the early war years?

Break open that Piggy Bank and go order this game now, Move It, Move It, Move It.
Are you still here? I said go order.

Tnaks, I will try some of these ideas out but the man is a rock, he always keeps a unit or 2 hidden so right when I think I have him he opens up with something new. Just the other day I was about to kill his last Sherman when BAM, a recoiless Rifle takes out 3 tanks in 1 turn, what he &*^%$^&, that thing fires way too fast, he seems to have the best luck.
Thanks Pvt.Tom

Wow, thanks for all the hints, here is another problem, I sent my infantry out first to clear the way for the tanks, but since they are out front his tanks are able to bring them under fire from behind trees and buildings that block my tanks direct fire at him. I tried 150mm Spotters but they only managed to knock out the gun on one of his tank.
Thanks Again Pvt.Tom

When I play my Dad in CM we usually play QBs, he is the Americans on the Defense and I am the Axis. He always gets Shermans with 76mm guns, never 75mm. What should I do with my Armor points? Get a couple Panthers or a bunch of Mark IVs? The last game I played the 76 Shermans had no trouble killing my Panthers so I thought maybe it would have been better to get Mark IVs since I can get more of them. Any advice anyone can give me would be great.
Thanks Pvt.Tom
P.S. I just want to give BTS a big thanks for making this game, since my Dad and I started playing CM together we have been talking more than we have for a long time. So Merry Christmans to BTS.

Please, Please, Please, this would be great in CM2, the armor on the Wasp is so weak if you don't fire as soon as you see someone you get killed.

Was it a winter battle? Maybe he had frostbite.

Polar,
You are in luck, they also incresed the number of points the Allies can spend on Artillery in the Beta patch. Merry Christmans.

I have to agree with Walter, if I am a Schreck gunner and I see Infantry the last thing I am going to do is fire at them, maybe I can kill 1 guy but then the other 11 are going to come over and kick my butt. I would either take of for the rear or wait for them to pass. Maybe BTS can set it up so only tanks can trigger an ambush for Schrecks and Zooks?
