  1. Thanks for the replies guys, the reason I asked is because of the annoyance factor of having c Churchill VIII with 40+ rounds of HE and a 95mm gun unwilling to even fire at a measly markIV as it had run out of hollow charge ammo.
  2. Armor-piercing shells are (by definition) made to tank out tanks, whereas HE deals with infantry. Yet I was wondering whether or not the concussive affects of a tank being hit directly be an HE shell (especially large calibre eg 95mm cromwell or IS2's) would be enough to kill or at least knock out the crew. Similarly, I was wondering what a tanks default shell would be ie. what type of shell would be in the breach - AP or HE - and whether CM models the affect of having an HE shell loaded (say we've been shooting up infantry) and a tank comes along. What would happen - would CM model an HE shell being fired or an AP shell. Just interested PasssoP
  3. Thanks for the help guys, I'll try it out. Incidentally, it says my mail sending format uses HTML, should I change this to text??
  4. I'm sure this has come up before, but I've tried to do a search and after waiting for 10 minutes while it loads I'll just simply state my problem. Sometimes I receive emails where the file isn't attached, but actually is contained in the body of the email. How do I save it?? I've tried copy/paste and 'saveas' but nothing seems to work. Furthermore, how do I save a large file like this. Can anyone help this newbie ? thanks
  5. To get back on topic... Sure, every army have there good and bad formations, the Germans consciously weakening some to enhance their 'elite' divisions, ie compare the static divisions guarding the Normandy coast to the panzer divisions which were to arrive later. Yet for some reason,I've always accepted as 'given' that the Germans possessed finest army of ww2, definately in 1941, perhaps still by 1944. One of the books in my rapidly growing WW2 library is Overlord by Max Hastings (1984), notably a British historian. He quotes a detailed statistical study conducted by American Colonel Trevor Dupuy. "On a man for man basis, the German ground soldier constantly inflicted casualties at about a 50% higher rate than they incurred from the opposing British and American troops UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES [emphasis in original]. This is true when they were attacking and when they were defending, when they had a local superiority and when, as was usually the case, they were outnumbered, when they had air superiority and when they did not, when they won and when they lost." Make of this what you will. PasssoP [ 05-06-2001: Message edited by: PasssoP27 ]

  7. Wondering if there are any good PBEM specific sites out there. I've been playing the CM demo for a week and have just ordered the full game, so I'm quite interested in finding a site where people are perhaps (I hope) still playing the demo. any help appreciated

  9. Ha, it was the same. What can I say, this is the kind of game I've been looking for for a long time and I am really looking forward to getting my greasy paws on it. Thanks for the help MadMatt.
  10. I've just played the demo and am pretty impressed. However, I was just wondering whether CM is delivered to South Africa, and if so, how long it will take to get here. Thanks
