It would be really sweet if this is coded in, heehee!

I know the CMBB guide is currently backordered, but can some one 'in the know' find out if when it comes back into stock, will it be a new '2nd Edition' that fixes the extraneous typos or will it just be more copies of the original guide? Thanks in advance.

Yes, my friend. "Rock" is indeed the appropriate term to use in this scenario.

Well, I for one am certainly having fun reading this thread the last week. I think it's really cool to have stumbled upon something like this. The only secret I ever got from my Grandpa, who was an engineer that arrived in Europe during the late years of the war, is that he had an affair with some hotty German girl that was actually the girlfriend of one of the german POW's they had working in the repair shops...heheh. Good 'ol gramps!

So...you guys are trying to say that there are other scenarios besides the ones included on the CD? Will wonders never cease! Overall, why do you scenario designers think you create custom scenarios? Is it to see your work being played and admired by others? Is it because it's a wonderful creative outlet for your love of this game and/or the history of this war? Or do you do it just for fun? I know there's not one definitive answer for all of you, but I was just wondering in general why one goes through the lengthy process of creating custom scenarios...

Hmmm...methinks you don't really know who wrote AND published this game, do you?

He snaps the ball...it's in his hands...there goes the punt! It looks like it's gonna land all...the...way...on the front page! Now go vote this game the honors it deserves!

Hi Mom!

Worthy cause if I ever saw one. Wargamer.com is one of the few site that dedicated to this wonderful genre of games that we all do so enjoy... Now go make a difference and help in any way you can!

I agree that the AI has been playing a lot better, but do you guys find yourself playing the defender against the AI? I still find this not to be as satisfying as attacking the AI. The AI's attacking tactics intelligence still seems a bit off to me. Any comments?

I did my part voting and on the comments ssections. Maybe the unwashed masses will heed the call of CM:BB!

Forgetting about a delayed artillery bombardment I scheduled prior to the battle starting and then walking a whole company into the treeline it was set to fall on. Not pretty. Drugs are BAD, mmkay?

Well, I have always been vocal in my praise of rune and his scenarios. I think what everyone is missing here is that a truly great scenario designer is going to have a variety of different types of scenarios to play. Different people like different things...heck even the same person will like different things. Sometimes I want to fight a uphill, hard to win scenario. Sometimes I want to play a big AFV battle with little cover so the firefight gets hard and heavy. Sometimes I want to be challenged to come up with new tactics, or to learn to adapt my tactics to situations. Variety is the spice of life, and no one is ever going to be completely happy all the time. rune just plain rocks as a scenario designer and the CM community would be severly lacking if it wasn't for his dedication to making all these lovely battle to play out! *cheers* rune!

Ditto, I have seen this problem 1st hand. Thank god it was the AI and not my guys doing it. But the tank the AI was controlling kept sitting there for about 5-6 rounds trying to fire on a little MG dug in at a treeline. After about 5 rounds, it finally stopped, probably being out of HE ammo by then, lol!

I have had some nice luck recently using them to take out infantry HQ units. I don't really notice a discernable differnece, but I have to assume that the morale of that platoon is going to drop a LOT quicker!

Well damn, it's tough to beat Oban, which is one of my perinnial favorites. Well, let's see since you drink Oban I will reason that you like your Scotch's with a good peat flavour with the right amount of smokiness. Have you tried Balvenie? I find it's a pretty nice scotch to pass away a night with CMBB/BO. But it's a very rich, dark scotch and should probably be watered down a touch even if you drink scotch neat. Personally I take it with a few rocks and let it melt down for 5-10 min...usually perfect about then

OMG I think I would be in heaven lying on my couch, playing CMBB on a nice 50" HDTV screen!!! Throw in Xbox live support and I would never leave the house...

Link goes to a disabled geocities page? :confused:

Is there a way to see what the computer selected for you in random QB's? I like to play with as much randomness as possible when doing QB's, but am finding that I need to know something about what it chose. I clicked on briefings within the game, but that just takes me to a list where is states all categories as random...help?

Barry, that's some awesome stuff, my man! Thanks for getting that all up on a webpage so we can all share in this.

And don't forget that they are still in work on a sort of "Strategy Guide" for the game, with unit rundowns and such...this may be more what you are looking for anyways.

Hey, how did this get off the 1st page?!?! Playing the Fall Blau scenario now. Mucho good stuff!

Rune, as always, you've outdone yourself! Can't wait to get home and load these up. Cheers to one of CM's great scenario designers/mapmakers!
