Ahhhh,Crapgame(my favorite gamming pastime)you have discovered the mystery of life!!!!"Every man deserves his Dew". "TULLAMORE DEW" is the smoothest irish sipping whiskey this side of heaven and even gives "Chivas 12yr old" a bold test!!! I got ahold of this 30 yr ago and they stopped importing it to the USA 20 yr ago,Only way I could get it up till a couple of years ago,was thru a nurse friend of the wife's who went over to the old country every year or so and would bring 2qt.s back for me.Sadly she died 2 years ago and my son finished off my last bottle while the wife and i were away for the weekend last summer(the fur was flying after that).I had a small stash in an original irish crock bottle and it's almost dry when we get invited to a cousins wedding a couple of months ago and low and behold ;I spied on the desert cart a qt. bottle of "The Dew".I ignored the bar for the rest of the day and promised to make a dent in this rare find.Btw I read on the back of the bottle that it was imported by "Hiram Walker" I hope I can get it here again!!

Yes,yaba...I've had plenty of those situations as well,where one of my(or the enemy) vehicles gets lit up and burns.But i'm talking about tank turret decapitating shots where the turret blows skyhigh and lands near or somewhere else on the map.Or totally blownout vehicles or remnants of squads or crews unlucky enough too have a 105 shell score a direct hit on thier position and be vaporized off the map completely?!! ------------------ "Git thar firstest with the mostest" :Nathan Bedford Forrest

well....what was it that took your vehicle out so spectacularly????

Just to up the ante a little;I'm 49 this year and getting younger everyday with this game!

I just read a review of the game on either TNG or wargamer;where the reviewer stated that he was able to string the replays together on his H?D somehow and could review the whole thing!! so obviously so guys out there know how to do this and should pass it along.

yes..I agree..rush them and the will throw they're hands up.or try running your tank close to isolated Mg's or F/O and same result will happen.Nicht schiesen:miene kommaraden!

with all the great sound and ground explosion effects,why don't we have vehicles exploding or a body of a troop vaporizing off the map when a shell gets a direct hit on him or it? Maybe I havn't played enough yet:but I seem to see a pattern of the old tilted /knocked out vehicle.that's okay a majority of the time but once in awhile you'de like to see a tank turret xeplode like a roman candle.

with all the awards these guys are recieving for this game...maybe buy a scrap WWII aircraft carrier,restore it to a working platform and take the company offshore.

I was at wargamer web site and TNG website and they all have CMBO as "GAME of the YEAR" this is a slam dunk for BTS.

I don't know if this is a "Bug" or what? it seems when I load a saved game to continue later the scenery tend to change or disappesr altogeather. I also notice that troops that were on the move to a destination Have thier final destinations and facings altered.As an example: In "Wilitz"(I hope i'm not being specific & this is the right place to post this )I had a couple of zooks planted behind singular pine trees along the road in ambush.Subsequent loadings have either removed the tree leaving the zook looking like he using an open latrine with his arse for all to see!!! or the tree turns to a scragily desiduious(w/o leaves)tree or bush.Upon seeing this I checked my other positions and found other subtle changes and movement plots changed and in wrong positions.Now I've used this strategy before to great effect and am wondering if the puter AI knows this and is trying to shorten the odds???? Is all this stuff to much for the puter to correctly remember or is the puter AI trying to cheat as I've seen in other games over the years?? ------------------ "Git thar firstest with the mostest" :Nathan Bedford Forrest

Hey MOS,so was mine (12alpha)and I love this game(small gain).I guess my approach was the most unconventional of you guys.I tried your approach at first(pulling back vehicles and men).and paid the price(I take great umbrage a losing any men and vehicles;so it better be worth it).I achieved a total victory in 10 turns only losing 3men(only 1 kia).I did this by playing agressive with my engineers(as we were in my day).Remember...your job is to hold the bridge...not fall behind it a let the enemy cross!! I left my snipers where they were,moved the left enrg.sqd.to the small pine at the curve of the road and brought the jeep and the farmhouse H/T to the left as well and stuck them in the tree gaps overlooking the bridge and it's approaches and escapes;just to the left of the engr.sqd. The MG in the farmhouse stays but moves to the 2nd flr front window.The rest of the guys are lined up on the road at setup to give them ahead start to the ambush positions I've selected.The Zook heads for the small pine tree on the right side of road on the curve with 1 sqd. of engr's to his right and just foward alittle in the next best pine tree.the other H/T I rotate to di di bop outta there and to firring lane thru the trees to the right of the 2nd enrg.sqd.The 3rd engr.sqd. goes left of the curve in the road foward the other units on the right in a small patch of gold trees that sees the approach from the fields just foward and some of the road on the right.HQ runs to the foxhole vacated by the engr.sqd at the setup(good communications).The snipers buttoned them up early(setup ambush sites then hide).The zook took out the lynx and 3 other H/T's(it looked like a junk yard)and the engr.'s took care of everything else that tried to get thru.In fact on turn 8 the 2 sqd.'s of engr.'s had his last H/T cornered on either side behind a tree(appx.10-15m).I ordered them to run and target the H/T's(they still had satchel charges left).After 2 turns of close combat and appx.30 grenades they H/T started crawling in reverse towards the edge of map at his start point with my engr.'s running after it.they finally must have got tired and in the last 20 sec.'s they tossed the satchel charges into the H/T and the explosion knocked me off my seat and I began to howl in laughter(although,upon reflection the H/T should have been blown to bits). On the left side all vehichles were taken out near the bridge approach with the exception of one H/T that tried to sneak thru the gully but that zook turned on his heals and took that out as well.his troops that managed to infiltrate the gully were destroyed in detail by the left forces and the arrival of the greyhound.I thought the game over when I spied a german HMG walking out of the woods behind the farmhouse and my secure positions(what's up with that).I had to wheel my MG aroung in the farmhouse and call on the greyhound and H/T from the left to come mop things up nicely.
