Hey are you the same Olle Peterson who is on the Cafe Tropico forums?

Bah! The maus would be far more interesting. Secondly, most of the Sturmtigers saw action on the Western Front in the Rhineland in 1945. What I want to see modelled will really sap Russian Moral. See Picture AHAHAHAHA! [ July 16, 2002, 10:55 AM: Message edited by: Fieldmarshall ]

Why thank you Doug.

Hello everybody I just have to say, You know something we have it great here. Yes I admit there is the usual clamoring of people, and new players (2000 in the past four months) the largest growth spirt in such a short while, its amazing how much this forum has prospered since I came here in February of 2001. Through the bad and the good. I started out as a Forum newbie, the first time I had ever been registered to a forum, and I had tons of stupid questions, and the occasional stupid and immature thread (like most of us I think) but I..as many of you have matured over the months and years babbling on the forum. But, as tensions rise and the forum expands we seem to have lost our way. CM:BB is so close you can taste it. People are all fired up and ready to start T-34s into the wire. But we should all just take a deep breath and understand that BTS has brought us impeccable customer service, and a brilliant game to boot. You don’t see that very much anymore..hell I have yet to find a game company that has the same hands on approach BTS has. Yet we seem to forget what we actually have, and I say we just sit back...and savor what we actually have at the moment. A superb company is working for you, and we sit here and complain. Yes I have done it, we all have. But now that I think about it, there is no point. BTS does what ever it can within reason to fix problems, we have to understand gentlemen that we are involved in this forum and we are all loyal customers of BTS. Yes there has been controversy over the SS and Germany’s ridiculous censorship laws, but you have to look at the big picture, BTS did what ever it could to help you the customer on as much of an individual basis as it could. You ask them for help involving your order if it got lost, they send you a free one! How great is that?! If you tried to get help with your order from say Amazon they essentially steer clear from blame and never send you a refund. So in conclusion from my long winded rant I just want to say that we have a great team working for us people, and I say we stop taking it for granted. –Niles H.

I still need testers for my bloodbath: From Trickle to Flood. Please I want to get this thing out to the public and only one of my testers has responded in three months..so please if you want this baby released give her a go and give me feedback! Bocage, and a Bridge how much more could you ask for?? --Niles

send it to me to.. niles.hirschi@gte.net

ME WANTEEE!!!

We all know their is no CM:BB. Its just code for when the Illuminati, the Masons, the Knights Templar, and FEMA are going to move in, and take over the world, and implant mind control devices in your breakfast cereal and flu shots. [ June 24, 2002, 02:18 PM: Message edited by: Fieldmarshall ]

If you want to test a brand new bocage battle then come and get it: I will require full feedback, with details. "From Trickle to Flood" July 1944 DENSE bocage/River Crossing All alpha tests indicate a fun battle, so whos up to test it?!

You could try putting it into a .zip file, that would bring down the size. I would be glad to test it..send it my way.

Try Ebay. If you want to get CM cheaper, thats the only place you'll be able to get it cheaper.

I've been blessed with my CM for one year three months and sixteen days....maybe I should buy my CD a new Jewel case..

Well if you are looking for books try Hell on Wheels...(cant remember the rest of the title, I will get back to you on this..not in the mood to crack open the books at this hour) umm..for other great sources (not necessarily on the 3rd army) try Rhineland! Death Traps, If you Survive, thousands of good sources.

Well I would suggest: Maguas Normandy woods and scattered trees, DDs tree bases, DDs water (or Tanks Alots) Gunslingers grass, gunnergoz's brush, DDs wheat, gunslingers pines, Maguas original buildings from CM outpost, Tigers dark brown marsh, I cant remember who made my rough, but it used to be on the now defunct Combat Missions. Hundreds of vehicle thingys...oh and Toms BOB winter mod is a must!

Well actually It only happens at higher elevations, with a large density, not just a single tree..

Well for the first time since december of 2000, I have decided to replay all the old scenarios starting with my favorites: All or Nothing came up #1..so I started, and its Autumn, and I noticed a pecular error: On the higher part of the hills, all of the Autumn tree bases were the original CM bases that came with the CD, I restarted the game to make sure I wasn't going blinder, and bam, they are still there. I went to the editor, and with DDs autumn bases, on elevation over 14, they turn into the originals..any thoughts on what is wrong..? --Regards, JNH

Send em my way..they look great!

What about Operation Spring Awakening..That will be the first thing I do when I get CM:BB in my hands. Last major German offensive of the war, Germans, attempted to save the last of their natural oil reserves, from the Russians. March of 1945 although I have read conflicting dates putting the offensive anywhere from January of 1945 too March of 1945, this kind of conflicting info is truly irritating! I know it was an eleven day offensive..the Germans sent three up-to-strength, and slightly reduced armored divisions and infantry. It pushed about eight miles before they were halted, they dug in, and fought fiercly..then, their flanks were attacked, and they were driven back, slaughtered. I can't waite to do a 'campagn' on Spring Awakening..

Send it here

From what I read, an 88 was overlooking the bridge at Erpeler Ley, but it was pulled back days before the Allies got to the city. The crew of course, I might have to check my sources too, but I think there might have been..

The 'Mg-42' the third one (bottom) is an MG-3 from what I can see, it is kinda pixilated, but it still looks like an MG-3 which is a modern, and improved version of the MG-42, popular with African rebels that.. Wonderful KR-98s, I shall have to get that set! --Niles

You must remember that guy is a RC, and he isn't using live ammo. Muzzle flash that is real and bad is not as bad as that, on most weapons firing live ammo, the flame doesn't get out the barrel half the time, just smoke and heat.

Yeah, I had one a while ago, trashed it and got a Ge Force Titanium, now there is an awesome card!

Do any of the TacOps games have an Urgent Fury scenario with them? (Invasion of Grenada) Perfect small unit action, would be a lot of fun! Also, do the new versions of TacOps have an editor?

Hey pal! If you want a good selection of intro music I suggest you go here for a gander: WW II Mp3 Look how many songs Italy has! Hilarious..but they have some great music look around, its all free.
