If you liked the TV show "Bones" here's the real deal

This is General Discussion forum to cover everything else. -
Not suggesting that lots of bows and arrows are a match for automatic weapons. Although it is a question of numbers. A thousand guys with bows and arrows or spears would win over one guy with a MG. But, it's silly and snippy to pretend that analogy is what was intended. The question is how many "inferior" T-whatevers would it take to win against one modern western tank? Yes, it depends on the terrain and other factors. But, the question is still valid until the numbers of T-whatevers required become silly.

Isn't this the same argument the Germans had for fielding wonderful advanced systems like the Panther and Tiger? The Russians are good at making equipment that runs on spare alcohol and spits out gravel whereas ours need to be mollycoddled in pristine conditions. As what's his name once said "Quality has a quality of its own".

Olek keeps promising to create female mods, but his kickstarter hasn't raised the millions in bitcoin yet.

It would be cool to drive around South Kensington with all the other super rich Arabs and their toys.

This clock sounds like the death knell the Russians broadcast during Stalingrad. "Tick, tick, tick - every 7 seconds a German dies in Stalingrad".- 83 replies

Brilliant. Maybe have some cows or horses inside then?

Agreed. It's whiners who change the world. If everyone is happy and content, why change/improve anything? However, I do hate the whiners who motivated MS to create Win 10. Was/am perfectly happy with Win 7! -
Am wondering if a compromise (assuming it requires a lot less work on BF's part) would be for BF to sell a module of unfinished models for units that people would like to see and then have our dedicated volunteer modders do the necessary artwork so that these new units could be used in an existing game. Have no idea if this is practical. Maybe someone more knowledgeable could comment.

People are asking for pictures. Sure, a list of new features would be nice. But, so what...? Am busy playing the other existing games. Yes, I have had to learn patience since I was 12 years old. -

LOL. From much past experience on these forums, no it wouldn't make any difference. -
Can at least answer that one: Star power is how movies get financed.

Ah... my sigother unit is Latvian. Maybe translating this will persuade her to get into wargaming.

We need to realize that a screen shot of a module for CMFI would probably be indistinguishable from a screenshot from the existing CMFI. That would simply initiate the next round of insistent demands etc. -
Questions about Weapon Fire Selection
Erwin replied to CanuckGamer's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Have found that if you want to suppress an enemy you have to shoot for 3 minutes at least. TARGET can go thru a Lot of ammo in a few minutes. TARGET LIGHT can shoot for 5 minutes without losing too much ammo. -
Questions about Weapon Fire Selection
Erwin replied to CanuckGamer's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Warts is correct. Also, you cannot select any individual squad weapon to fire. You can give it an armor arc so it only fires at armor with appropriate weapons. Not sure if halftracks are classified as armor, so need to be careful there. -

us vs japan Pacific in WW II
Erwin replied to chief809's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
I would like to see all sorts of things in a game as well. I love eye candy and wish there were far more flavor objects in the games. However, we have to realize that aircraft skimming over maps, dropping paratroopers, landing and disgorging troops etc. are all merely eye candy and can be simulated in the game by reinforcements turning up (with possible casualties/MIA's) and the current abstract air power simulation system. It's like wanting a Pacific Theatre CM and then also wanting ships and carriers and landing craft and... -
Please help: Scottish Corridor - Fair and Square
Erwin replied to canuck97's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
I have not played this scenario. But, in generally... Have you kept your defending armor (and inf)) keyholed and positioned so that the enemy exposes his flank as he moves into your guns' LOS? Am wondering if you are trying to defeat a superior attack head on - always suicidal. -
While CM2 is truly wonderful at level 1, my understanding is that most players play from level 3 and higher - some even using the top-down 6+ levels. From those higher levels a well-modded CM1 compares quite well to CM2. That was what I thought the poster was referring to.
