10 years?! wow! WTG! I was sold on CMX1 after trying the demo for CMBO! Watching Adork's dorky Panther tank getting pummeled by artillery fire was AWESOME! Here's to hoping for a decent version of CMX2!

Wow! Is this true? "It is known as the bloodiest small-arms battle in the history of U.S. warfare."

That could be! I can see BF dropping CMSF once CMX2 WW2 stuff starts hitting the public. What about if CMSF addons being farmed out to 3rd party developers?

Right, and wasn't BF hoping to sell, or did sell, CMSF to the U.S. military?

right on! Yeah, I played the old Age of Empires II RTS game as coop (one player would control the farmers, city development, building armies and would then pass on the troops to the other player who was out fighting the enemy players or comps) and it was a blast and as others have mentioned made life much easier for us folks with low "twitch-factor." If possible to code, and if CMSF even comes out with coop, it would be nice to be able to designate which player will control which units (I don't want my coop player taking over my units).

I am a strong supporter of Israel. Many here are having second thoughts about our support for your great country after witnessing developments in the attack in Gaza. The reports on the number of Israeli civilian casualties from Hamas rockets (last I heard it was ~20 deaths?) compared to ~1,000 deaths of Gaza civilians is quite worrisome. Our support for Israel is turning into empathy for the Palestinian civilians! Get your act together, Israel!

2038 is new release date? cool! thanks for the update!!

ditto! or in the OP language...the Stuph in CMSF is so dumb and lame! stuph suxs bad in CMSF. wait for the CMXX (see it is 2 Xs...instead of CMX2, i wrote it as CMXX! pretty cool stuph, eh?) and prey it is good!

CMSF looks very nice compared to CMx1 (in fact, I can no longer play cmbo because of the graphics! lol). However, CMx1 has a much higher "fun" factor over CMSF! If you like modern combat get CMSF. If you want a fun and engrossing game get CMBB and/or CMAK.

try out the demo version for both game! I have CMSF but I have not tried TOW. CMSF and I find it to be a fair game at best. I don't know about pricing in the your part of the the world, but I paid around $45USD at release and now you can find CMSF in the bargain bin at amazon.com for around $5USD (used) to $10USD (new) in America. Have fun!!!

Hey Mr. MeatEtr, A friend bought a dell computer last year and the windows install on his computer came with a lot of junk. do you know if ibuypower puts a clean OS only onto their computers? I poked around their site, but I didn't see anythign addressing this issue. Thanks!

wow, nice rig at a good price! I've heard good things about ibuypower. My rig is >5yo at this time. Maybe I will wait for summer and see how the MS W7OS turns out. Please post a review of your rig once you get a chance to play with it! Hopefully, you will also get to buy Armed Assault2 and OFP2 if they are released this year! wait...am i still supposed to write MS as M$?

gogamer is having a 48h sale and it includes the CDV publication of CMBO for $2USD! check it out!!

Great finds! I especially like the lego panzergrenadier with 2 panzerfausts and the raising the red flag over the reichstag done in lego!

wow! talk about sticker shock! I can hardly wait for the sequels: Chemical Shifts and Coupling Constants for Silicon-28 (Landolt-Bornstein: Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology - New Series) Chemical Shifts and Coupling Constants for Silicon-30 (Landolt-Bornstein: Numerical Data and Functional Relationships in Science and Technology - New Series)

An excellent idea imho!

Fair point, sir! I need to start by reading the WP article linked above by PSY that claims the Israeli media is ignoring the Palestinian civilian plight.

thanks for the linky! Oh, yes, I've heard and read a few positive reviews of this film. This is definitely on my list to watch!

No, you are completely wrong. The media here (Fox news, some radio) that I listen to do not appear to support either side, but the media does not put the Israeli invasion into perspective if the 4 dead Israeli civilians is an accurate number (which it appears to be! amazing!!)

good points! Does anyone know how many Israelis have been killed and injured by Hamas rockets? The U.S. media and pro-Israeli groups never report the Israeli death toll from rocket attacks by Hamas. What I hear/read only indicate that "thousands of rockets" were fired into Isreali territory. I'm guessing the Israelis have probably suffered 1,000+ casualties from Hamas rockets?

I think fog of war is also better done in CM compared to ASL (imho), but then again, i'm not a rules lawyer so I may be done stuff completely wrong! haha I did play a few ASL double-blind scenarios that were a blast! However, we needed 3 players and two sets of the game which is a PITA.

+1 I also like the fact that I can see the game mechanics behind the gameplay. many a times in CM I find my elite troops hiding in dense woods spotted by a tank at 300m and i think, 'WTF?' lol I may not agree with the game mechanics in a board game but at least they are available to the player.

you can try Boardgame geek. I tend to find this site good for game info, but weak on discussion for many games. At the bottom they list links related to FoW. Have fun pushing around your panzers! http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/11168 woah, interesting FoW minature! (I am guess at this point that Hans wish they had developed airbags back ~1940)

wow! I guess this denial of health coverage is a big problem if the health coverage industry is run by the private sector and is out to make a profit? Do you live in the U.S.? Does this type of denial occur in other countries with government-run health care? (specifically those communist countries such as Canada, England, Germany, Norway, Finland,etc?).
