Leave it to a Canuckian reservist male medical desk jockey to make everything so complicated. Seanachai, have you stopped taking your meds again? Or did you take them all at once this time? Not that I am opposed to this idea, but really -- acting as though we care what those weirdos on that other thread do or say? Sigh. The Inquisitor General's work is never finished. And I had just dealt with Boo's dalliances. . . Steve </font>

Once a month is too infrequent - 12 scenarios a year? Once a week perhaps too often - so perhaps once a fortnight? That would give enough time for people to play out their games on TCP/IP without being too rushed and you might even get some PBEM's done in that time. The trouble is, I suppose, that if people are playing PBEM then games can take longer to finish. If, for example, you played MasterGoodale then you might be looking at a 'once every 9 months' scenario thread. :mad:

Panzerschreck Bug in CMAK Demo
Soddball replied to The Green Rascal's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
So we should be poking and prodding BFC about this minor oversight then? -
More troops surrendering in CMAK?
Soddball replied to Makes The Jelly Judder's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
Ditto to the bravery of the average Italian soldier - I'm rereading "An Army at Dawn" and the stuff those poor buggers had to contend with was shocking. Their standard infantry rifle dated from 1891, no trucks, no AT weapons, few MGs, tanks made from tinfoil and cheese wedges..... -
I haven't seen them in action yet but this may be the compromise BFC was forced to come up with to get multi-turreted tanks in the game You only get one red line but if, for example, you're using an ordinary Sherman and you tell it to target a tank 300m away and off to your right, if the Sherman's 'hull down' to the tank then the bow MG will fire on targets in front of you. Have you tried getting an M3 into one of those situations to see if this is the case?

Plus, you get a proper manual and no scabby DVD case or scabby CDV copy protection software. Take your pick.

SCENARIO SPOILER . . . . . . . . . . I was surprised that in one battle, two of my Shermans stuffed 75mmAP rounds into a StuH from just over 100m, only to achieve a 'partial penetration'. In the old days of CM:BB and CM:BO that sort of ranged attack would be enough to put a round in the front and out the back.

Nice, balanced multiplayer maps
Soddball replied to lazysack's topic in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord
Blatant self-promotion for my scenario "Chalon-sur-Rhone", available at The Scenario Depot 68 turns and something like 15,000 points and it's pretty well balanced for both sides. [ November 20, 2003, 04:17 PM: Message edited by: Soddball ] -
My questions are - does cover alter in a vineyard dependent on the time of year and does the graphic alter aswell?
