I wondered a couple of days ago which idiot would be the first to start a thread about how dreadful CMX2 was going to be and how they wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. I expected it to be at least when the first screenshots came out, or when the theatre was confirmed. Perhaps I was expecting too much.

The tall stone bridges are now very resistant to demolition - more so than even heavy buildings.

I have seen a number of occasions where routed enemy infantry fleeing back to their own lines have run across a minefield out of LOS to me. At that point the minefield has become visible, even though I had no LOS to it and no way of knowing it was there. I had to ask my opponent why I could see a minefield and he told me a routed squad had just fled across it.

Really? Would you honestly say that the British rail systems of the 1930s and 1940s were primitive compared to today? I hardly think so.

Not true. There are lots of single-track railway lines. Most of the ones in the UK were closed by the Evil Dr. Beeching but they are not uncommon. Major inter-city lines would have 2 tracks.

Please Put Infantry Smoke In CMx2

Are you saying that we will be able to fire through concealment with machine guns or other weapons in CMX2? -
Terrain modeling in CMx2

That's hot. -
Something wrong with your CAPS LOCK key? It keeps switching on when you create a new subject.

Two small "not for the first game" notes

Or it could be that since N is next to M on the keyboard, he knocked it? -
So it's sold by someone that is no longer an EBay registered user, who has only registered for 2 weeks, and ships CDs without manuals and cases for £5? If you're looking for bargains, I have some genuine moon rock for sale, and a bridge.

It usually means that the target is currently over a Target Reference Point.

So, now you know it's a US-based forum, run by a US company, how stupid do you feel?

You clearly aren't playing the 'Hitler' rules, which allow you to know in an instant the strength of the enemy and to place individual companies in the correct location.

Film of Stuka 87G in action

Clearly I failed to include enough 'buts', 'excepts', and 'nearlys' in my general, light-hearted statement about the resilience of British aircraft carriers. Several of the webpages I've seen cite Furious, Glorious & Courageous as 'battlecruisers', 'heavy cruiser' or 'light battlecruiser'. -

I agree in part with Doroshling, but where he says you have no need to hold companies in reserve - on big campaign maps that just isn't the case. Holding back forces in reserve to ensure you have enough strength for the following battles is necessary.

UK carriers had all-metal flightdecks and most were converted from battleship or battlecruiser hulls, hence their impressive resilience. Think of the kamikaze attacks on them in 1945. US carrier hit - flight deck out of operation, hangar on fire. UK carrier hit - one ensign with a broom required to sweep deck clean. Of course, that meant they held 1/3 the number of planes of US carriers and time has shown that the US system was superior. -
Infantry firing from vehicles?
Soddball replied to gunnersman's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
There were a pair of BMP-1s at the War and Peace Show. Every time I looked at them, all I could think they were good for was shooting rioting civilians. Stupid design. Can't hold enough soldiers to make any difference, crap armour against anything but molotov coctails. -
