Lets face it CM is the best wargame most of us have every played ever - it beats all computer games,board,miniture and counter wargames I ever played and I have played most of them all. So after CM4 then what? Well here is a few ideas: 1) Mulitplayer CM - multiplayers on one battlefield, as been discussed before. 2) Operational level game that compliments CM - that mulitplayer can play in. So we all fighting these small tactical battles that get pluggged into the full operational game. A Real War! 3)We have seen the attack of the hampters how about MOD where we can scan in our actually faces and see yourselfs driving those tanks - that be cool in Mutiplayer. Be really cool in 1st person shooters also have your actual face on guy. 4)Lets face it again a war game with a birds eyes view just don't cut it anymore my close combat series are dead. Lets see a new genre someday, the terrian system is figured out already and the engine. Do the same idea say on The Civil War and you have another instant GOLD MINE! Napoleanics,Romans,British Colonials. I believe that CM team has basically discovered the perfect game system and that after ww2 I think A horse,cannon and musket version - where you actually see the soldiers fall down when take hits - would be the next step. The CM empire could eventually be bigger then hmmm trump,bill gates hehe. Sid's Gettysburg game was cool when it came out - but I just bought waterloo and after playing CM - all others wargames stink. The only other genre that still is neat is 1st person shooters like rogue spear and flashpoint and ww2 online. I just love this game system so much I really like to see it eventually expand to other historical wars. If it didn't it be a real shame.

Hello, Mod makers and others just picked up a book with some great color photos of ww2 german tanks. Called German Tanks of World War II In Color by Michael Green,Thomas Anderson, and Frank Schulz. Great pics in color taken of the tanks and vehicles just after war in their original paint schemes - also has many german tanks today and where they at with pics.

I am having another horney spell and am lusty for this MOD. Anybody have a link that will satisfy A MOD for bazooka's A MOD for mortors's A MOD for Panzerschreck's

I say add the AT dogs and there is chance they will run towards russian tanks or a russian vech. Would be dam funny to see em in game.

Where there any full russian women units that saw combat? I know russian woman served in some cases next to their husbands and heard of the famous russian women maning the aa guns at moscow. But where there few units that saw combat? If so will they be in CM2?

I was wondering has anyone thought off doing a MOD for the foxhole? Maybe add a few logs,stones something to snaz it up a bit. I plan on starting to learn a paintshop program and learning this mod thing myself looks like fun. If there is a foxhole mod out there let me know I couldn't find any.

Basically I love MODS for CM ,it gets me excited like in my old modeling days. The plan this weekend is to organize the mods based on their shading and overlook into seperate files. One mod file will have have all my # 1 choices and favorite mods. The other mod files will have other mods. For example their may be up to as many as 6 to 7 graphic versions of game that I can play. So one game I will have one set of skies, ground,buildings and tanks, inf etc. After 3 to 5 games I will switch to another complete different look. This way I can enjoy all these great mods from time to time. The other neat thing is when a new Mod comes out that I enjoy but may not replace my favorite I can still us it and match that MOD to the overall look I have put together. When I get this done I will post some screen shots to show the different overall looks. And to all these great artists that create these mods a big thanx!!!!!!!

I have been getting more jeeps now just because they so cool Nicely done!!!!!

Great love your gun mods.

WOHOOOOOOOOOOOO! This would be AWESOME!!!!! For CM. I use to play cc series all time but haven't played once since CM came out. Killmore great job please please continue your quest and get this for us for CM. Again this would be so much fun and more sleepless nights and going to work like a zombie I can hardley wait.

Hello, No the allies have nothing like those smg troops in CM. Bets close range stuff allies have in CM is Brit and Usa airborne. Engineers do well to if supported by flamethrowers due to their explovises and satchel charges. Also late usa infantry is also decent fire power. But nothing compares to the german smg and mountain troops for punch. Try to use the .50 cal usa hvy machine gun more it can really help support you if it has good LOS. Also but veteren allied forces when can that will offset german smg if they are regular and you veteren.

This could be a dangerous thing to start but after a few beers I can't help it. This is few War saying,famous qoutes and even good gaming quotes. Let the madness begin!!!! CM is is known to improve your sex life. "God I love to see the arms and legs fly" Patton "No fair you are using the rules" quote form a ww2 miniture game at local club. NUTS!!! "A whole world at war and I am left out of it.GOD will NOT allow this to happen" Patton "Always assume your enemy will act in good judgement unless you have information to the contrary" Napoleon "Get there first with the most" Nathan Bedford Forest Confed cav commander usa civil war. "Mystify,mislead and surprise the enemy" Stonewall Jackson In war the one great incalculable is human resistance. "The art of war is to create your strength at your enemies weakness" Napoleon An attack on the enemy's rear has grave psychological effects on enemy soldiers, but especially on the enemy commander. Retreating in order under attack is the most difficult of military tasks.

After playing for a bit - I am starting to think of a complete change in tactics. Lets say that all things being equal having two equally skilled commanders in the field facing eachother with same points in a meeting engagement. My money would be on the germans. Always a die hard for the underdogs i simply enjoy the stress and challenege of commanding allies. I am starting to think of NOT putting my money into allied armor much anymore. With the most money going into infantry and HVY artillery and say 81mm mortors and AT guns. At tops a few light tanks stuarts or something else light with some sextons or priests. The main goal or tactic is to defeat enemy infantry support of armor. If run into hvy german tanks - smoke em and hide. When smoke lifts drop the hvy Art and hope for some damage. It not a winning tactical plan but at least it may be a survival tactic. Time and time again I know we have all felt the frustration of out allied tanks getting munched even with good usage. Tanks weren't meant to fight the type of battle we are fighting - They where suppose to exploit a breakthrough and do ends runs into enemies rear. Or a least operate in large groups. It wasn't uncommon towards end off war for usa troops to have a sherman in support for each PLATOON. But with the randomness and fastness of a real battle field that works. When on a small battle say a 1,000 point battle. Where you can face a king tiger,88mm,20mm flak gun,75mm inf gun, company of smgs supported with panzerfaust and hvy machine guns. Might as well leave shermans back up road no sense to engage em. I would rather buy say two 17pounders AT guns,or say 3 76mm at guns and two 81mm mortors and some hvy art supported with verteren company inf. Then buy clay pigeons for german tiger tank to fire at. Taking on germans head to head is for the most part a losing fight. Stealth hiding, taking up defense positions and defending center of woods rather then tree line so as to not expose myself to enemy surpresive fire. I think I am going to save the tank charges for the russians. From a vet of ww2 "When your first new into combat you think you are invincable, that you could not die. Bullets would simply bounce off my chest,I am to well trained,to fit, to smart and clever,to good looking in my uniform,to young with my whole life a head of me. After your 1st battle you start to realize dam I could get killed and i better not take so mnay chances. I need to dig a better fox hole and use cover more and not fire so far away as to give up my postion. Another qoute from ww2 vet: "He use to be a pitcher for college baseball team and had a great arm - he wiped that grenade - it didn't have any arch at all straight line and hit the running german in head and exploxed"

The questions asked has a few parts: 1st does a company commander effect armor units if near or ontop? Almost sure it doesn't but need confirmation. Second what is the command range of a company commander? And why doesn't this appear in game by highlighting units in command range is want? Does he serve a roll besides a extra commander for spotters and support weopons? If you have a company commander and your enemy doesn't what are your advantages? If you lose your company commander what are the effects on morale? I know a company commander is good to have a jeep nearbuy to race over and rally troops. But how much faster does a company commander rally troops compaired to a platoon commander?

THX that what it was had to hit shift I on both germans and allies side to get smoke back. THX GUYS!!!!!!!!!!
