  1. Actually, I was just looking for this and found your topic. You saved me precious seconds of searching! Thank you.
  2. Crap! I, I just, that is to say that, I mean... Crap! This is amazing. Wow! You guys, you guys are making me blush. The news of this game has made my year! Wow.
  3. I would also like to comment on the awesomeness of ROQC. I just finished setting up my first battle; I'm in command of a platoon of green Strumgeschutz III B in June, 1941. For support, I have 2 platoons of light infantry (green), 1 platoon of Pioneers (green), 1 platoon of Pz IIIH (green) 2 LMGs, a few halftracks, and an 81mm FO (all green). The mission is a routine probe into a small town. I managed to squeeze in a few turns before work today (what the crap kind of shift is 5-8 pm?) and managed to lose 2 halftracks to a metric ton of AT guns scattered across the rear of the map. The good news is, I think I may have knocked out a few of the guns with a mortar barrage. Anywho, thanks RobO for the splendid work you have done. I am counting the hours until I get home and take out those damn'd AT guns.
  4. Thanks for the replys guys. I already found it Maj S, so no need for the email. Thanks.
  5. Thanks. I would have done a search for it, but couldn't remember what it was called. Thanks again.
  6. Good day fine Sirs (and the occasional Madame). I recall seeing a thread a while back about a map-making program useful for creating large maps that allowed sections to be imported into CMBBs map editor. At least, that's what I seem to remember. Could someone please tell me where to find this program?
  7. DSL for me. I will say, once you have broadband, you can NEVER go back to dial-up.
  8. No worries. I guess a person's tolerance for certain things varies from individual to individual. For my own part, I suppose I am very generous in this regard. I am willing to look at the situation from your perspective, and I suppose I can see where you're coming from. However I still feel the animosity directed at people voicing their opinions on such topics, regardless of the repetitiveness, is a little unjust. On a happier note, I am glad you liked the gravel comment. This certainly raises my S O a little. Mayhaps one day I'll ascend to the quality of a pile of polished stones. You know, the ones they sell at gift shops? Those things sell for like $3 a piece.
  9. You know, I really don't get it. No disrespect intended, but if you are indeed so tired of seeing this discussion brought up over and over again (I may be ignorant in the actual number of times this topic has been raised, but surely it hasn't been beaten to death like some other topics) then why, in the name of your chosen supreme being, do you choose to participate in the discussion? Is it too much to pop in and say something along the lines of "Well, this has been discussed, bluh, bluh, bluh, and I don't think it's a good idea."? Or perhaps even more appropriate if it irks you so, just skip it entirely and check out another thread. You may not mean to, but you come off as quite the condescending elitist. I'm sure this is not your intention, but that's the way it appears to me, perhaps some others, and most certainly to SuperSulo.
  10. I think a withdraw command would only be effective if the enemy was still quite some distance away from the withdrawing squad. Any bonus a withdraw command would have to unit cohesion should be reduced if said squad is in close contact with the enemy. At least, that's the way I see it. If you use "move" or "advance" to disengage the enemy at moderate range, it should prove to be effective. Although, I've never really tried it myself.
  11. I usually don't butt into stuff like this around here, mostly because it has been confirmed by many that my opinion is worth the same as about a pile of gravel. Not the good, expensive kind either, the real cheap stuff. But I think some people are getting a little too defensive about a game I think I can safely say, we all love and adore. I, as well as most others here, know that BFC will probably (most definitely) never sell out to Microsoft or some other corporate giant. I took this thread as a sort of speculative discussion. But this sort of behavior, acting out in a really (I hate to say it because I respect MOST everyone on these forums)... immature way is a little upsetting. Is suggesting transferring CMBB, or any of it's future variants, over to a console really such a sin? Especially since, as stated before, we know it will probably (again, most definitely) never happen. Sure, it may have been discussed before, but, come on. Cut the guy some slack. If we all started behaving this way when a previously covered topic was rehashed, well, we'd probably all stop coming here. These forums have gained a reputation of being a place of civility and maturity. And, although it may sound cheesy, and I may not exactly be the most upstanding, informative guy, I feel quite proud of being part of this community. I don't know, perhaps I'm being a little too sentimental here. I'm almost certain most of you have stopped reading this post by now. However, for those who by some chance still happen to be reading this, my simple plea is "lighten up a little. Go play a QB against the AI or something." Oh yeah, and CM on a console? Pfftt. No way, man.
  12. Well, that could be debated. Preferably by someone with more knowledge than myself. I think, perhaps, you are overlooking some key issues here. I'd wager American Lend-Lease material helped the Russians out more than a little. Previously, someone mentioned Japanese intervention in the Soviet Far East. Though not directly involved, and assuming the Japanese would attack the Russians, the decision by the Japanese to instead attack westward against the US undoubtedly relieved a great deal of pressure. As said, this would allow him (Stalin) to pull troops from the east to defend Moscow. I don't know. I still believe the Ostfront was the deciding factor of the war, but other than actual combat participation and casualties inflicted, the entrance of the US into the conflict dramatically changed the course of the war. I remember reading somewhere that Stalin was thrilled to hear of Hitler's declaration of war against the US. Surely, he was happy to have another "ally", at least for a while. Just my thoughts, and as usual I stand to be corrected.
  13. 'lo, TCush. I like the effect as well, but they are not scorch marks, I'm afraid. The shell that landed nearby damaged the building beyond a certain percent. That is a visual cue that the structure is about to come crashing down, instead of the little ** that appeared in BO. Very much cool indeed.
  14. Interesting "what if" scenarios. I think Hitler's Germany was even more unprepared for such an undertaking directly after the Polish and Norwegian campaigns. The fighting in the Low Countries and in France provided a great deal of experience, as well as provided time for better armored vehicles to be produced. Also, captured French trucks, IIRC, provided a great deal of the army’s motorized transport. Those, obviously, would not have been available had the Germans not conquered France. Wasn't there a rather big difference in the number of divisions fielded by the Germans in the French campaign and Barbarossa?
