[3 reasons to get CMBB if everything else was unchanged]

What are yours?

What first comes to mind and in no particular order:

1. The MG-modelling

2. The possibility to play as Finns

3. The deathclock and the whole workout w/ armored vehicles being harder to destroy

It's going to be further and further up north (Maybe next year we will meet in Finland...).

They better keep the "vollfunktionsfähige 100mm Marinegeschützturm" (fully functional 100mm Navy gun turret) away from us, that nobody pulls the trigger after to many beers...but on the other hand we would have the unique opportunity to do some beta testing for CMUB and check the ROF of that baby...

See you soon

Well, I personally wouldn't mind if the parade would be held up here in Finland one day.

But if you're into BIG guns there are two 2 x 305mm coastal cannons built into two of the islands (Kuivasaari, Mäkiluoto) surrounding Helsinki. At least Kuivasaari is fully functional. First fired in 1935, put out of action in the 70's and then restored to it's former glory in the 90's. They fired it with blanks a few weeks back but gonna go live on December 6th (for our 85th year of independence).

The gun is huge. Just the barrel of the gun weighs over 60 tonnes and the ammo half a tonne a piece. A guy they interviewed said the momentary (for four hundreths of a second) need for power to get the "ammo" moving amounts to 4 Gigawatts!

Well OK, not everyone may be that impressed (but I was) and yeah, it's outdated by modern weaponry but still if anyone is interested...

[CM under Mac OS X]

This is what it is written about the matter in the "introductory" pages of CMBO on this site:

"Currently MacOS X no longer natively supports the RAVE

graphics API. Combat Mission was in development over two

years prior to the announcement of this decision by Apple

and was written for RAVE.

This means that you will NOT be able to play Combat

Mission in a native MacOS X environment.

You may be able to play Combat Mission in "Classic Mode"

but it will require locating and deleting the "Classic Rave

Extension" from your Extension folder. Please note that after

every subsequent reboot this extension will reappear and

would need to be again removed to play.

Running the game in classic mode is not recommended as

it will be running in software mode and will not benefit from

any hardware acceleration.

The preferred solution is to make a separate bootable

partition on your harddrive and install either 9.1 or the latest

9.2.2 MacOS there. This will allow you to boot into a *pure*

MacOS and the game will function correctly.

If at some time Apple decides to better integrate RAVE

support into either Classic Mode or MacOS we will make an

announcement."

Cheers!
