Mr Green and I spent a couple of turns trading AP rounds to no avail - at 300m my lone T-34 had 94,291 ricochets off Mr Green's Panzer IIIs. He got a partial turret penetration which distressed the tank commander no end - so much so that we had to scrape the worst bits off the gunsight so we could continue firing. However, he has now lost a Panzer III and a 20mm halftrack, and his remaining tanks are outflanked and inconvenienced, although they still outnumber me by lots to few. Mr Green has taken all the flags so far with his infantry, and is about to find out what BIG artillery means to men hiding in woods.

Building your Own Sherman - AWTWWFanatics Part II
Soddball replied to laxx's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
What grass mod is he using? BTW, the front upper hull armour slope is out by 4.41 degrees. -
Well, GoatFondler, you owe me a turn. It's that little gem of a turn, the one you really, really didn't want to see. You see, ladies and gentlemen, Goodale is having his arse handed to him. I have, quite literally, removed his arse from his body and am returning it to him in pieces. Current tally: 2 T-34s turned to mush. 1 SU-152, busted at 300m by a light AT gun through the lower hull armour - ouch. 2 MG carriers, both turned into frying hulks by another light AT gun. My losses - a halftrack. Oooh, the pain. Honest, guv. Come on, Goodale. I haven't even fisted your infantry much yet - apart from that SMG platoon which ran across the open ground right in front of a dug-in veteran HMG-42 - but they won't be going anywhere in a hurry. In other news: Mike the Whiner has lost a Panther to the loving caress of an SU-85 and a fighter-bomber in our Becket-induced scenario. My SU-85 proved its suckage value. I am demolishing chunks of city in a major real-estate deal. Jussi Kohler is staggering to the end of Inferno with me. Yeesh. I had no idea it was this unpleasant. What a great scenario.

Shell flight path computation bug (severe)

Well, that's very silly of you. Read the last page of the thread linked to above and you'll see an in-game workaround - targetting the top of the hill. -
CMBB runs like crap... :(

There is a technical support forum for just this kind of question. -

Question on "gamey" game play

Anything involving more than 12 flamethrowers on a small map. Steve </font> -
All my hot uberloving turns have gone out this morning. Get to it, maggots! :mad: :mad: Edited to add: Whoever it was that wanted a new scenario of horror and pain, drop me a line. I have a little gem that's finished and ready for playtesting. [ March 12, 2003, 04:33 AM: Message edited by: Soddball ]

Still nursing your wounds lickspittle? Or have yon dreams of another match waned? Rematch proposed and accepted. Terms to be decided. Have at ye, scoundrel. :mad: BeoWolf if you really want a go at it, Soddball is but days away from a new scenario. And we all know what they say about a Soddball Scenarios ..."You haven't lived until you have played one and then you want to light your house on fire, gouge out your eyes, and disembowel yourself to ensure no molecule of yourself remains intact.". Ah, good times, good times indeed. </font>

So where do we stand on uniforms for CMMOS?
Soddball replied to cpierce19's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Schoolgirl uniforms will do fine, not nurse's uniforms though. They bring back too many memories. -
Hmm. So should I remove the humour from the FAQ or just put a warning on the Peng Thread section saying "If you have a sense of humour, it will be surgically removed by your very entry into the pit of inane depravity that is the Peng Threads". I'm just worried that would encourage people. You know the type, the ones that stand and watch the car accidents.

All my turns have gone out this morning. I am back in the 'CM Zone' after having a loony few days. Early next week will also suck in terms of getting any gaming done, but I shall continue to try. MostlyGangBanged has lost yet more tanks in his "Slaughter the Camping Germans" QB. My anti-tank guns have now picked off 3 of his T-34s with little effort, although they are becoming a little distressed at the SU-152 type molten TNT being chucked in their direction. Luckily, they are in groovy 'hull down behind a hill' positions. Jussi Kohler and I are continuing to mash each other in my Inferno scenario. Yuck. This turn has cost him a pair of light tanks and an SU-76, dealt with harshly by a Panzer III, an infantry gun (HE round in the arse) and a Brummbar respectively. MikeT and I are continuing to beat each other up on our infantry-only scenario, where machine guns and mortars are making life unhappy for everyone. Groovy fun.
