Don't you just love it when a dumbass starts shooting off at the mouth about things they know nothing about? I know its great. I'm not even gonna bother to try and fill him in. But I will wave him off...

Ok, so does this mean there will be changes made to CMBB thats not only just related to CMC? Like adding dust clouds from CMAK or AI improvements? I know this is probably a pointless question given what Moon just said. But what the hell. Nonetheless, this is great news. I've been dreading upgrading my system because of the incompatibility.

What all CM fans really want to know is this. WILL THERE BE COWBELL? Gotta have that cowbell. P.S. When can I pre-order the East front module?

I got your Gore right here...

Nah, I don't do anything with the fancy 3D apps, no real need to. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to posting pics and whatnot. I just use google images.

HALLELUJAH, let the light shine on down...

Yup, that about sums it up. Although at first there was some grumbling about it being too hard(suppresion model was increased). But that quickly subsided as everybody realised it was better and it's basically what CMBO was suppose to be like. For me personally, CMBB turned me on to the east front completely. I didn't know much about it to be honest. I was just another Normandy fan like most americans. My book collection on the east front grows every month because of this game. In other words, I'm all east front now. I fire up CMAK once in awhile for change of pace/scenery. Even the mainstream game media liked it. Which is kinda rare for these smaller niche games. Check out the accumilative score from GameRankings, very impressive. Even CMAK got solid reviews. But if you ask BFC, business wise, CMBO sold much more units since obviously Normandy is the more popular front.

I agree about the "In Deadly Combat" its a good read. Not too sure about the "Tank Rider" book. It seemed kinda iffy about how almost all the german tanks he saw were tigers and panthers. Nothing major though, on par with other diary/memoir type books. As for other book recommendations, I liked "Blood Red Snow". I would also like to echo the "Enemy at the Gates" recommendation. I'm about half way through this excellent book about Staingrad. I'm already liking it much better than Beevors book. I consider a must read for Stalingrad fans. I got a good deal on a hardcover from Amazon . Is in great condition, like new, for only $12.

No need to apologize for another AAR. There's not much going on in the CMBB forum these days anyway. Keep up the good work with the AARs. I noticed your got some Stuggies and a Tiger. Theres some very nice mods over at CMMODS of these AFVS.

I'm pretty sure only the real soft vehicles will break a Fast command to retreat. (trucks and jeeps) So how bad was his blunder, how many did you bag? This is afterall the best place to gloat about it, hehe.

If I'm gonna make curtains out of something from WWII. I'd rather it be nose art like this.

I forget who said it, Moon or Steve, but one of them did mention there are indeed plans to go back to the East front for CMx2. But that would be at least 3-4 modules away.

Hear hear...

Ahh I see, thanks for posting. Here's a more direct link.

What? The OP mentioned the movie and nobody posted a link to a clip from YouTube. And this thread is going on 3 yrs old too. You guys are getting slow, it's SOP to post a link to this movie when mentioned. Now choke yourself!

Bridge over Troubled Wadi This probably ain't the one your talking about, but it was fun. IIRC the germans have a slight advantage attacking over two bridges.

Although I did read daves spoiler, I bagged it on my first attempt on the 8th turn, maybe a turn earlier not sure. Saw the crew crawling away and then issued a cease fire. I lost one of my tanks of course. But after that I just crawled my way up until I was able to get los to the foxhole. You don't need to use the other tank to sneak up to los. It is a a good lesson for beginners though. You don't need and certainly don't want full los to KO guns. Take the extra few turns to get close-los so you can safely KO the gun. But theres definitely luck involved no doubt. It's sometimes hard to tell if your edging too far close and then the AFV gets popped.

Great, a new blowtorch series, this is good to hear. I'll definitely give them a whirl.

Now on to the next obvious question. Anybody know of any scenarios for CMAK based on this battle?

Yeah the thread is in the CMAK forum found here. I'll sum up that thread with a couple of quotes. Yup, works in ops, too.</font>

I got you beat, 10 seconds from FileFront. You're still missing his point. He shouldn't have to do any of that. He shouldn't have to register anywere else. No matter how "easy" you think it is. No matter the cost. Ah yes, falling back to Sun Tzu's Classic Lemming/Teenager Strategy. Interesting and yet revealing move. </font>
