Will the ground condition effect morter hits and art hits? (Exp. During the winter encirclment of German troops between the Don and Volga Rivers in '42, because of the frozen ground morter hits became deadlier seeing that the rounds barely indented into the ground before exploding, therefore sending out more shrapnel than a moist, soft ground impact would. Will this be modeled in CMBB? Clinton

Bumpity Bump Bump! Just thought I would give it another go and see if anyone had any thoughts on this?

Panic=Not thinking clearly. They lose the ability to process coherently. Therefore they break and run for home. Regular troops to me means that they have been in country for a little while but have yet to see any serious fighting. Green is fresh in country. Vets have been in country and seen some good combat time. So Regulars should panic in a situation like that. If someone began shooting at you from in front of you, and you panic, I don't think that you will run toward the fire even though cover is closer there, I think one would flee very fast. Just my thoughts. [ 07-01-2001: Message edited by: Clinton ]

Think about it. 2 lone men crawling along, when all of a sudden 12 or so guys open up on you. I I don't care if you are Rambo, 2 guys are gonna be freaking out real quick. And remember these guys fighting arn't all "Highly trained, professional, balls of iron" kinda people. Most of them are just young adults who were sped through training and thrust into a war. I think that the Green and Regular status reflects this a bit.

Move him to the upper walls, he hould be able to see from there, eaiest way to do that is to use view 5.

The ball is round. The game lasts 90 minutes. That's a fact. Everything else is pure theory. Here we go!

I think there might be a problem with the Barbed Wire, Gozilla says "Cannot open ZIp File" the file has size but the is no content.

Bumpidty Bump Bump Does anyone have any thoughts about any of these ideas or any ideas that they, themselves want to throw out. I think it is important to keep suggesting things for BTS. Happy hunting!

: ) Well, Vasili Zaitsev had about 149 kills during the Oktober celebrations. Too bad that the "leading German sniper sent to kill him" is for all intents and purposes just a myth. Vasili was not the highest scoring sniper of the Russian army however during Stalingrad, that honor fell to someone called Zikan, who by the 20th of November had 224 confirmed kills. Just some tibits: ) I too would like to see the possiblility for some kind of "sniper" in CMBB.

Some of these may have been suggested before, so forgive me if it is so. I just thought I would throw out some thoughts on potential additions, changes or features for CM2. 1.) More user friendly operations maker. exp(being able to place reinforcment markers, ability to change mission profile in operation such as I my Allies want to make a operation that involves me advancing and attacking a village then after I capture it I want the next battle, say battle 3 out of 4,parameters to change from attack to defence that way the germans can counterattack), 2.) Victory locations in Operations, 3.) improved AI more agressive, 4.) Ability to hot-key units so you can jump to them instantly without searching a large map for them, 5.) Ability to have a movement setting which allows all units selected to advance only as fast as the slowest unit(having a front line of riflemen,MGs, Flamers,with tanks behind them advance at the same pace to maintain the infantry screen in front of the tanks) 6.) lower profile unit bases. (I like to see my units easily with the unit bases on, however the big bright boxes cut off a small section of the units making them look very weird. Could they be changed to a less intrusive transparent base maybe like a circle and star for US ans ect.? I know they are hard coded but I think this would really add to the game. Right now the bright green bases look odd, I think that the semi-trans and unit specific would contribute to a "table-top" esque feel.) 7.) Dug-in possitions for tanks and vehicles with the ability to drive out of them. 8.) Record ability to save turns in game. I hope to think of some more as they come to me. Remember if you think these ideas suck or if they have been stated before, sorry bout that. Clinton

Not likely. Sorry bout that.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> They are treated like heathens caught fornicating on a Catholic altar with a virgin at midnight on All Hallows Eve <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I thought I burnt that tape! Where did you se it? Im gonna kill my best friend he swore he burnt that tape of Sara and I!!!! Arghhhhh! Oh yea, I support a "campaign" as long as it is in realistic level, such as a following battalion throughout there tour, you have to decide when to pull back and not send your experienced but weakend troops to their death. I am leary about this addition. If they include it GREAT! Because if it sucks, then you dont have to use that feature. If its not included, ohh well, not much off my back.

I have designed a small 3 battle operation. the goal is to take a small town then repel an attack against it. The first battle (15 turns each) usually gets to the outskirts of town. The second battle is usually taking the town and the last turn is supposed to be the defence of the town against a counter-attack. I have the counter attack german units set to arrive on the 3rd battle. But here is the problem. The Operation goes to the setup phase of the last battle then when I hit GO the game ends and gives the kills screen. Any idea why it does this. I have the operation currently set up as destroy 100% but have tried it at advance as well. 3 Battles night every 3rd battle so the counter attack will be during the night. The Axis can innitiate night battles Allies cannot. any idea please hepl I have tried everyhting I can think of..

As hard as it is to believe. CMBO is one of the greatest games made even without this much coveted and much toted feature. Anyways, you can always make your own campaigns through a series of operations and such. If you havent already you should get CMBO and experience for yourself this unbelievable game. Todays PC game market is flooded with mainstream, name brand, mind numbing, crap. BTS has thrown the provebial guantlet in their faces and produced a product that surpasses and puts to shame most of the games produced in the last couple of years. (Clinton steps off his soapbox, turn, bows, and quietly exits the stage)

Ahhh Axis and Allies, my old stomping ground. s previously said, Axis and Allies has been available for a long while on PC. However, there are rumors that Axis and Allies:Europe and Axis and Allies:Pacific will be done for the PC. I hope someoneother than Hasbro does it but that is very doughtful seeing that they bought Avalon Hill. Pacific is alot of fun, and I like Europe as well. The only problem is that I have hardly any opponents, my best bro and my girlfriend, thats it.

But what about a Giant Wooden Badger?????????

Is it possible to creat a new graphics tile for a tank dug-in position? I think that would be a good way to go. Have some sand bags covering the edges and dirt slope coming out the back...If it is raining and wet you better hope you can get out!!!!

Thanks for all the repleys. I ment to put this in General but in my hurry I screwed up. Sorry Board people! Anyways I'm looking into 1/35 scale. I realy want to do what to do what Warmaker said, show all the varients of a particular model throught the war. Thanks or your help. Im not scared to purchase over the internet I was just unsure about which brand was the best out there. I had heard of them just not sure which to go with. Thanks for the help. I really do appreciate it: ) Clinton

Hello, I have been into modeling since I was a little kid. Iv'e done WW2 aircraft for years and would like to try my hand at WW2 tanks. No hobby shop around my area has them, so what I want to know since I am a proverbial tank modeling virgin, is what brands are the best and where can I get them (online?). Im looking for detailed models that do not cost a fortune. I cannot afford 120 bucks per tank(I saw one guy at a hobby show selling them for that). Im think more about 20-50 bucks cheaper is better: ) Any help is greatly appreciated. I would like to start of with Stuarts, Sherman, and PvIVs. Thanks again! Clinton
