tasty lookin' short-order mod you got there. i'll take 2. hold the taconite. the dark ballast turned out nicely - these are the best RR tracks to date...

He then pushed the necessary buttons, dials, switches & knobs, (and other stereotypical time machine gizmos). just then the time machine jolted to a halt, Steve & Matt stepped outside and...

I knew if I pestered you with enough focus and determination (read: a lot) I'd get my wish... I look forward to being shocked and routed in this fine Willys MB soon...

couldn't resist... your jeep mod looks so damn good - a Pegasus insignia could make it irresistible...

Crisp and clean. Excellent work. I know it's a long shot...but...is there any chance at getting the British Airborne "Pegasus" insignia on this beauty? It's the only vehicle that CMBO allows my Devils to drive... I know, B&W pic... but look closely... Airborne Jeeps.

He took one look at the point squad of manatee shock troops and exclaimed into his radio, "The last thing I'm gonna engage without proper air support is a platoon of portly water mammals dug in with high ground and the remastered Neil Diamond box set." Strains of "Cracklin' Rosie' were heard as blood curdling screams drowned out the high pitched...

Charles then stated he had no interest in depicting the girl guides TO&E in future versions of CM. At precisely this moment, one of the Manatee's NCOs pointed at the approaching bobsleds and screamed...

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Vanir Ausf B: You would probably need to shrink the scale down and model the individual units in more detail.<hr></blockquote> A very intriguing concept; and perhaps no longer CM... But it does sound like a better approach to certain aspects of the theatre. Burma would make for a challenging set of operations & scenarios. However, I think the USMC could be portrayed in their island hopping campaigns after the CM3 rewrite addresses certain engine limitations. As a separate game, though, I think the fortifications of Iwo Jima, for instance, might be an interesting 2 player battle...

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Amidst_Void: is the next theatre the African Front?<hr></blockquote> As long as Monty's Eighth gets to wear khaki shorts, the engine rewrite is of little concern...

<blockquote>quote:</font><hr>Originally posted by Auswarrior: ...additional features... <hr></blockquote> Personally, I'd recommend holding out for CM3. That way you not only get the Über-Bren tripod, Boys anti-tank rifle and Digger garrisons at 100% fanaticism [default setting], but you might see more khaki shorts modded for the British Eighth Army.

Just stopped by to give MadMom a big ol' shout-out! As in, "Howdy, Ma."

hmmm... have you seen this page? this is the same site but has a better directory at the bottom.

Ahhh... Über Bren hath Spake

truly funny stuff. did you get a chance to hop into an assault boat and test the water temp? I don't see any winter shots...what about the snow? Can it really stay that clean after a rifle company gets disemboweled in an ambush?
