Buy the game, you wont regret it, trust me. Its much better than the demo even, alots changed for the better. Also, once you recieve the game, join a gaming club (ladder) likeBand of Brothers. There you can find many opponents. They have a ranking system so you can tell the experience of the member your about to do battle with and have tournamnets and sponsered battles. Lots of fun. Just buy the game already!

What is scipios website address??

Hi guys. I have a few questions. I just recieved this game and have played a few battles against the AI. I havent done bad getting 3 major victories and a minor victory in Quick Battles playing as the Axis but im having problems with force composition. The tanks i think ive got figured out. I know what most of them are and their characteristics but im having problems with the Axis support vehicles and vehicles. What are some good support vehicles to compliment the tanks? I had picked 3 pumas and a Sb Kfz 7/2 flak and they seemed to work out well together. The flak was better at killing infantry than i thought but this was kinda a fluke setup. Can you guys suggest some good combanations of vehicles and tanks for me to try out and tweak? Thanks guys!

Can you guys point me in the direction of an included unit list for Combat Mission? Im in the process of downloading unit mods and would like to know which ones are included in the game since i havent recieved my copy yet. Also, when you guys ordered your copies of combat mission, how long did it take to recieve it? Thanks guys! :cool:

I inquired earlier on what you guys considered to be the best mods in there category. A lot of people suggested DD's Terrain. I love all of it but the grass, it looks too mossy green for my taste. Someone suggested OldDogs Subdued grass, i cannot find this anywhere, can someone point me in the right direction? Also, any other suggestions for a high-res grass mod somewhere between DD's darker colored grass and the bright green stuff? Thanks guys!

Kewl, thanks Mord, im downloading it now. Also, thanks for the info guys

Err....not quite sure what i was smoken was i wrote that post :confused: . What i meant was Tom's Combat Mission HQ. The url i have: Tom's Combat Mission HQ just will not work for me. Thanks guys!

Does anyone have the url for petes combat missions? The one i have doesnt seem to want to work. Can you guys also list other websites where i might find some more info on MODS and the like? I want to start downloading them now so i will have some when the game arrives. I have a 56k and it takes forever. I ordered the game friday, hopefully it will arive sometime this week. How long did it take for you guys to recieve your copies? Thanks guys! :cool:

Where would i find compupic? Thanks guys!

Thanks guys! A few more questions. Whats a batch files and how easy is the mod manager to use? Sometimes these programs that come out to make modifying games actually make the process harder.

Um...I was kidding. No offense meant. I changed the message in order not to offend any of my new Combat Mission Friends who's tanks i hope to destroy and whos infantry i intend to make cry..... [ 06-18-2001: Message edited by: Arith ]

Im new to this stuff and havent even recieved the d*mn game yet but i have a few questions. #1, are the 3d models fully animated? moving tracks, wheels, turrets ect? Also, i see tons of MODS all over. How do you use them, do you just copy files back and forth or is there an easier way to do it? I see MODS with "options", how do you choose which options you use and which ones you dont? Im sure these questions will be answered when i recieve the game but i am trying to get a headstart in figuring all this stuff out, thanks guys!! [ 06-18-2001: Message edited by: Arith ]

ok, well i just ordered this game a few days ago so i havent gotten the chance to play it yet, but it seems to me that there should be some kind of accuracy bonus if a unit fires from concealment. The enemy unit doesnt have the opportunity to react and the ambushing unit can pick its shot. I understand that the weapons were not super accurate but in my opinion, the chance for a hit should increase if the unit takes a shot from concealment. Like i said earlier, i havent been able to play yet so i dont know how well this works in game but i just wanted to share my thoughts

Alright guys, your pursuasivness has inspired me I purchased the game and i cant wait for it to get here, but i need your help again. I checked out MadMatts Mod Guide on Combat Mission HQ. It shows what order to install Mods and recomends what MODS are the best. The only problem is that it hasnt been updated in a long time (almost a year). Can you guys give me some ideas on what you think the best mods are? Whats the best terrain mod, grass mod, vehicle mods and uniform mods plus any other mods you think are great and why. I know this is alot to as and that the answers will vary but it will help me out greatly because i sitll cant believe how many mods there are out there for this game. Thanks guys!

Ive been a wargammer for a while but have been away from the computer latley with work and everything. I have played all the TalonSoft battleground games and a few others. I also spent 6 years in the military so i am a true wargammer at heart and love a good fight. I also am into building models. This game seams to cater to all those interests. I like the idea. It seems very close to palying a miniatures wargame. After reading all the replys ive gotten just in the last few hours im impressed how much you guys like this game. I just placed my order... Ill leave it up to you guys to explain it to my wife when i start staying up all night and forget to work around the house
