  1. My level of groginess < 0.01, but this is what I know from TV Turret crew: Commander (left) and gunner/loader (right) Hull crew: Radio/hull MG (left) and Mechanic (right) Pictures are from a polish TV show about a T34 crew, so take it with a grain of salt. Straif
  2. According to my sources, ski troops will work perfectly already in the CMAK edition of the game. Straif
  3. Uh, can I drive in the carpool line when I drive with Hitler? Straif
  4. Actually, Dr. Albert Hofmann worked for Sandoz in Basel, Switzerland, when he made and tested LSD in 1943. I know that bashing the USA is on fashion now, but keep your facts straight. Straif [ May 06, 2003, 02:54 AM: Message edited by: Straif ]
  5. ** Can someone tell me what the writing on these bombs says? ** This top one : "We don't need your stuff, take it back!" (may be it is a German bomb?) The lower one is less poetic: "Death to German occupants!" Straif
  6. Sir, why are you calling people names? Whom are you calling "neo-nazi filth"? Could you explain why are you so pissed-off? People are discussing history of WWII, if you have any interesting information about the subject - say it. If not - relax and listen to others. If you don't like the subject, just close this window. Best wishes to you Straif
  7. It may be that your problems were more a result of the know bug in version 1.02 of CMBB. Tactical AI of guns and tanks has big problems, in this version, with hitting targets behind even very small ridges. It looks that this problem is solved in version 1.02 beta. Straif
  8. Looks like a crypto-advertisement to me :confused: Straif
  9. But, but, but... I heard a gossip that you are The RD Cmbb Ladder Leader. Is it true? Please, make finally a clear statement. Are you The RD Cmbb Ladder Leader??? It is very important for all of us. Straif
  10. You know, nobody MUST answer anyone's questions on this boarsds. It is not a duty of "old" players in any way. They are coming on these boards to enjoy themselves. Many adolescent males have an illusion that they are special and that the world "owns" them something. This illusion is supported by the latest trends in Western pedagogy. Unfortunatelly, in most cases,it is just an illusion. Leter or earlier young people must hit reality. Better is earlier (in my, not so humble, opinion). I am a newb, myself. But if I have a question I would first search "Google" than these boards for a keyword; and then, if I still didn't find the answer, I may ask nice grogs here to help me. I would never start my question from "WTF you moron fuggots are talking about..." We all play the same game; we all enjoy doing so. In this, at least, we are equal. If you want your question to be answered, use words "please" and "thank you", and the world of CM will be the better for it. Straif
  11. Probably, in his language it means: "Thank you very much, I appreciate it" I am not a native speaker, so I may be wrong, though. Straif
  12. I want to add only one very important positive point for this game: this forum . For me it is about 43.7% of fun related to this game. You can learn a lot from these people, they are very supportive for perpetual newbs, like me. Even "Peng" band is kind of cute Seriously, this is the best game community I've ever seen. Straif
  13. Why do you think that it is "a flaw in CM engine"? You can create a huge map with small armor forces both in QB generator and scenario editor. So, the engine looks flexible enough. You can just play only "huge" maps with minuscule forcas, if it definition of a good game for you, and for your oponents. Straif
  14. Please, go trolling somewhere else. This board was built around a game we playing. It is what interest people here, it is why I log here. I personally don't care about your commie propaganda. I can find it without your help, if I need it. Obviously, it is only my humble opinion... Straif
  15. I think that CM simulates not a regular military transport column, but a military transport column under attack. Actual transport columns are out of scope of tactical simulation, IMHO. You have several tanks and trucks on a muddy / snowed Russian non-pawed road. It will be messy and not so smooth like it is on 405 in LA at 5 PM Take this fact under consideration and add more pauses between vehicles, it helps a lot. Best wishes, Straif
  16. Works perfectly, no problems Straif
  17. About units visibility. I am not sure if you know that you can change size of figurines on your screen (Shift C) to make them easier to spot. Additionally, you have colored unit bases, if you turned them off by a chance - use Shift-B. You really don't want your SS wearing orange pyjamas, do you good luck with your troops, Straif
  18. Did you consider a possibility that you are a different (I mean - better) player now? Straif
  19. So, the conclusion is - "Don't make 90 degree turns driving tanks full speed" what is "nutty" about it? It is an object of mass about 25000kg moving with speed 35km/h. Driver can lose controle in this situation and make tank spinning. This fellow Newton probably predicted something like it in his obscure book: "Principia : Vol. 1 The Motion of Bodies". For me it sounds like realistic behavior. best Straif
  20. I know "de gustibus non est disputandum", but I, personally, would never buy CMBB if it looks like this. I expected a WWII SIMULATOR, not another eye-candy fantasy game in Lego-land. Graphics in CMBB looks good enough for me; I don't think that it is a first-rate feature in a simulator. best Straif
  21. People, people… Even if.. I say, even if the tables should be included in the main game release (it is not true IMHO) then I’ve just paid $65.00 for a great game! ($50.0 CD + manual; 15$ Strategy Guide) And I am expecting to play this game next 2 years at minimum. Oh, and it is all for a price of 5 cinema tickets. Don’t be picky… Straif
  22. I have already ordered, and this is what I found on the order confirmations screen: 2 to 4 weeks for a BOOK? Are they looking for some capitalist propaganda there? I don't live in Canada, but how it could hapen in a democratic country in 21 century??? Straif P.S. Additionally, I am bumping information about this manual, buy it - use it
  23. Eh, not God, just plowman. This poster may be translated: "I, plowman stay on guard with my rifle, I guard freedom and my country". I had to check in dictionary what "pakhar'" is, I have never seen this word in chess literature - my only source of Russian vocabulary Straif
  24. I would appreciate a copy of your rules. My address: akilim@yahoo.com Thank you in advance Straif
  25. I don't think so, because the same time beer lowers your libido - so it is all balanced. Straif
