[/QB]</font>Originally posted by sage2:Holy retarded assumptions batman! Let's try this on for size: I'm 32, married, work successfully at the top of my profession in the software industry, have decided to put my civilian skills to work in the Reserves at no small sacrifice to myself or my wife, and the only reason my pants are baggy is because I've been working out and running like a fiend for the last 6 months, oh -- and if you say the Clash are s***y music, then you might be right, but f*** you anyway. :=) Motivation and focus will not be my problem. My big challenge is going to be keeping my mouth shut around opinionated pr***s, but you made this thread good practice. Ooops, just failed the first test.
I was just having a little fun in the forum.

The gentlemen in this thread who think I'm being a big meanie can post all they want; if you haven't worn a uniform done basic training yourself, or been at the other end and seen the burden one unmotivated candidate can put on course staff, then you have no basis for objecting to my comments.
I stand by what I said. Grow up, forget about video games and ****ty music and baggy pants for the next few months. Forget about everything that previously made you who you are and prepare to become part of a team that trains to fight and win on the battlefield. After a week, if your instructors are doing things right, you won't even remember what this forum looks like.
Good luck. You're about to become part of something much bigger than yourself - or some video game. From the sound of your comments, it will be a first for you. It's kind of supposed to be. Let us know how it goes.

Go to Basic and AIT, save the money, buy a laptop and then get the game.
That way you have something to play when you are deployed. Depending on your MOS you can expect it. You will have some down time and you will need to do something to enjoy yourself.
No joke guys, my laptop was a lifesaver when I was in the Gulf in 2003. I played the snot out of CMBB and CMBO during that time. CMAK wouldn't run well enough on the computer to make it worth while.

I suspect that this would be a good add on later on.
Another would be a US vs Warsaw pact in 1989. It would take some changes but not that much.
Another would be Gulf War 1.
A lot of the old Steel Panther's Modern Battles scenerios would be nice to add later.

JohnO, I might have to go digging around in my old footlocker for those books.

That was an error on my part based upon the game not wanting to run on my X64 operating system and the fact that the game wouldn't run on a second previewer's Vista based system. The IL2 series seems to have some troubles with Vista so I assumed it was an engine related problem.
We have corrected it in the preview and Magnum is getting his system geared up for the final review. I hope his problems are gone when the final game is out.

That alone would scare the hell out of me.Originally posted by mike_the_wino:Matt I want to have your baby....or at the very least enjoy a copy of T-72. When will my desire be quenched?

Did a preview of the game at www.simhq.com .
I really think this will be one of those sleeper hits with the wargaming and simulation crowd.

Rune, didn't realize you were an Illinois resident.
Grew first south of Chicago (Will County) then over near the Quad Cities. Dad was a State Trooper. Went to Bradley University in Peoria.
Will fire you an e-mail when I come home on leave, would love to hook up, maybe do a SimHq Illinois meet with an entire bunch of midwest folks. Maybe get some tickets to Wrigley, watch the Cubs lose, get poed, go get drunk.
Beats watching the Mariners here. How can you cheer for a team called the Mariners? Or the SeaHawks? Bears, that's a team name.
(P.S. have a signed 1986 Walter Payton Jersey on my wall, do I count as a fan?)

Thanks a lot (yes I do lurk here).
I am a self confessed fanboy that is for sure. Thanks for the positive comments. There are very few games that I consider significant improvements in the genre and CMBO was one of them. CMBB didn't advance the genre, but it didn't need to. I took CMBO and improved upon it, I would love for the changes in CMBB patched into CMBO but I know that would be very difficult, if not impossible.

same problem that everyone else is having.
Athlon XP 2100
WinXP
512 Megs DDR
WD 30 and 20 gig hd
TDK CD RW and Sony DVD (neither work)

Tom I noticed that a couple of your links gave error 404 messages. Maybe you were updating but thought you would like to know.
What was the reasoning about TCP/IP being real time only?
in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

People get a 'new' game in a series expecting it to have both new features and improvments to the old standbys, not to have features that were in the older game left out.
Maybe the developers didn't think people would want the older style of gameplay in TCP/IP but many (including myself) do.
I hope it comes along in another patch. If enough of us want it I am sure Battlefront will make it happen. I remember when TCP/IP wasn't availabe in the first game, it came along shortly afterward.
It will in the traditional manner in this one too-I hope.
