But Alexander the Great was gay, right?

Hey, I didn't make the game! It's what it represents, you may not agree, as Im sure many wouldn't, but there you have it. All part of the abstractions in the game.

Dontcha know that CM is full of abstrations? When a unit throws a normal grenade it simulates the unit performing a close assault on the enemy tank.

Are you saying BFC are selling worthless books?

You really think we can do that on this stage? I don't.

I would wager this is next to worthless to make business decisions on.

Happy to oblige! Watch me perform in other threads where I give away free sticks and maps to dead horses

No, not at all. I simply point out to you that the information is there if you want it. And discussions are always best when one has something new to add As I said, seems you just want to chat about the Tiger and that's fine. A more pertinent point in this context would perhaps be to ask if the cost of the Tiger reflects it's battlefield abilitiues and if the cost scheme shoudl be altered. This has also been discussed before ( ), but on this point every Joe Doe can have a brilliant new idea

Well, you are not talking to your mates on this BBS. My point here is: What you are discussing here had been discussed before by very knowledgeable people. You want information? Its right there in front of it, use it. Seems rather you just want want to chit chat (as with your mates on the pub). That's fine but don't expect to get much useful information as most people that has contributed to this subject before are tired of rehashing the arguments, ok?

JasonC, didn't you forget to include your 5000 word article on the subject ?

I am a bit taken aback of this arrogant attitude. If you do a search fot "Tiger" you get over 50 hits. Condidering that people that have authored books on the subject has contributed in these threads, I find it strange, to say the least, that you find it a utter waste of time. But IT IS easily findable. What is the point of "discussing" something that has been answered many times over if you do not supply some new sources/evidence on the matter? Do you, or anyone for that matter, anything NEW to add to this discussion, or is it just the same old stuff over again? Offchance? Hardly. And you've had your comment, and I pointed out that you can read all about it in the multiple discussions on this board. I hope you value information over posting just for the sake of posting.

Not much of a leasson to learn form it, was just really unlucky. They were bunched toghter because it was turn 1, and they were out of enemy LOS, heading for the objectives. Just one of those unforseeble things that can happen.

Suit yourself. Have you read the other threads on this topic? They are much more informative than this one and after having read them, tell me if you want to rehash it again.

You want war stories, I will give you war stories! You can't handle war stories...err.. well, anyway.. Playing a TCP QB match, 1500 pts vs, I can't remember. Anyhow, I was the ruskies, and on turn 1 a Stuka delivered it's payload IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL MY FORCES. It eliminated 2/3rds of my inf and armour. Well, I thought it was lost, but I couln't very well surrender on turn one, now could I? So I fought on. I got to the objectives before my opponent due to him being overly careful. Having hunkered down, I proceeded to kille some of his armour with my T34. After approx 10 turns, he decleared it impossible to take the objectives and surrendered! He thought all the contacts he saw (sqd's with 1-4 men) were full strenght sqds, and he would be masacared if he tried to push on. So, what started as a disaster, ended up in Total Vic!

I don't friggin believe this. Less than 3 weeks after we had the Tiger disussion last time (and we've had it before) it rears it's ugly head again. Please, if you have questions about this, do a search, trust me, it has been answered (well, discussed to death anyway).

Which brings up a question I want to ask, how will airpower be simulated in CMx2 compared to CMx1?

Doesn't matter what happens in the game, the reload time is the same no matter what.

Sorry, just wondering how he glorified it? When it comes to Dorosh, he really should get a life beyond this BBS.

MPK, seek professional help, now.

I get your point, but Im not talking about fantasies. From what Steve said, the gfx should be better than this, and Im sure it will be.

The CMx2 engine better be a lot friggin better than the displayed 3d engine from Drop, or else a lot of people will be dissapointed after the comments made by Steve .

Mikey, you are perhaps the best modder for CM, if not, you are certainly up there with the rest of them! Thanks for your work!

Could be you aren't missing anything. Africa is a love/hate thing, I personally hate the open featureless Africa maps.
