T-bird 1.2GHz
MSI K7T Pro 2-A mobo
128 meg Mushkin PC133 rev2 ram
Creative SB Live! Platinum (w/Klipsch 4.1 ProMedia v.2)
Hercules Prophet 2 MX
Win98SE,DX8
blah...blah...blah...
CM runs fast and looks awesome (19in. monitor).
I've got all this hardware because I'm a real Grand Prix Legends fanatic. However, my times have suffered because of all the time I spend on CM.
Hope this helps.

I think the time scale is a problem. How much cover can you dig out of the earth in a couple of minutes? A proper foxhole or slit-trench is a significant undertaking. I dug a lot of holes at Benning and Bragg.
You can scrape out something in a short period, but it wouldn't be a real foxhole.

In the QBs I usually give the attacker a +25% handicap (sometimes +50%). Because, frankly, it gives me more stuff to destroy. When I attack,usually as the allies, I don't handicap at all. Maybe as I get better I will.

If I target an HMG to zone fire between inf. separated from one another by 10-30m, will it have any suppresive effect? How large is the beaten area of the MGs in the game?
The reason I ask is, I constantly find myself needing to choose between targeting a unit and area fire. It sure seems like a HMG firing into a tree line at 200m should suppress inf. over a fairly large frontage.
I hope I expressed myself clearly.

I had that happen on the first turn of a PBEM game once. JpzIV, hull down, starts to hunt up a slope from hull-down and, "grrrunch", immobilized. Very disconcerting. Very realistic.

I generally play PBEM games as 1000-1500 pt. QBs. Lately they have degenerated into Jumbo Sherman v King Tiger battles. As this is somewhat ahistorical, are there any published rules to help players keep the battles from becoming too "gamey"?

Spook, the Porsche factory museum is in Stuttgart, and it's great. Last year I travelled to Stuttgart specifically for the auto museums. The Daimler Benz museum is a must see. It contains a vast number of significant road cars, and some of the most important racecars in the world. You'll also see a few WWII era aero engines (including a prototype LSR car powered by DB601's).
