  1. Excellent!! A new CMA campaign, I'm always in!! Downloading now and will try it out soon.
  2. Great stuff! Thanks!! The photos in some of these are amazing. I love CMA.
  3. Thanks! Don't know why I missed it!
  4. Where exactly are the new announcements about SF2 and the East Front, can't seem to find them!
  5. It's in The Bear Went Over the Mountain. I'm currently playing it PBEM with me as the Soviets. It's a tough one for sure.
  6. If you want a good campaign to try, download Fredrock's Major Nosov's campaign. It was nicely designed, implimented and really fun to play. I can't wait for his next iteration. I love Afghanistan. I only wish there were tons more community support and scenarios. The balance is really nice and the forces are incredibly interesting to play with, as is the conflict in general. I'm soooo hoping the next big announcement is a 1980s eastern europe NATO vs Warsaw pact thing. Many of the things you are complaining about have never been in CMs scope. If you take the game for what it is as other's have stated, a tactical small scale wargame, there isn't much out there that compares. Play more and I think you will start to realize that what the game does and how it's designed are incredibly well done.
  7. Love the book. It's actually one of my favorite war/combat books of all time. The way Eugene writes is just so immediate and he notices everything. I too HIGHLY recommend it.
  8. Been a long time since the last update. Are these still being worked on or is it a no go?? Just curious, would love to use them still if you are still going to release them. Thanks!
  9. Ok, do you have a side preference? LOL, sorry I just noticed after I posted that you said any/any is fine with you. I'll set something up an email it to you later, probably won't be til this evening though. Cry havoc and all that...
  10. Did you get any takers? I just saw your post and am surprised there is no response yet. If not, I can PBEM with you. Do you have a specific scenario in mind?
  11. Excellent! Looks great! I can't wait to see the finished product. I have been without my desktop for the past two weeks as it finally died on me. My new computer is ordered and now shipped and should be here by wednesday. I can't wait to get up and running and see how all my CM games work and look on the new machine. It's been easier waiting on these since I can't play right now anyway. Seriously starting to go through withdrawals though.
  12. Thanks! Great site and great info there. So nothing unusual then about my rifle? Just a different bolt or something?
  13. Hmmm, I love hearing that mine may be a rare version! I'm not as up on the Lee Enfields as other weapons. I got a great deal on this one too when I bought it. The left side rear band has a simple "M" (which marks that it was made in England, I believe it's Maltby?), the date 1942, and the serial number which is either a R or K (really hard to tell) followed by the five digit number. Something like 103968. I don't have it in front of me but can check when I get home. The cocking handle, or bolt handle as we call it, has on the rear of the handle shaft the same serial number and then a small arrow pointing at the ball on the end. The barrel also has the last four digits from the serial and then is marked "st vb alm" or something like that. I can also check it again when I get home. If you like or need better identifying pictures I can easily take them. I appreciate your response and knowledge on these! Please let me know what you can discern!
  14. I collect and live fire WWII rifles as well. I seem to fire both my k98 and 03 better than I do the LE but conversely, one of my good buddies is much better on the LE than any of the other bolt actions. Go figure. The peep sight has a lot to do with that. Here's my British made 1942. Some others... I sold this M1 carbine and am looking to replace it with a more period correct version. Also pictured, M1 Garand, 1936 made, rebarreled and restocked in 1944 Springfield Model 1903. Thompson .45. I've just applied for an ATF tax stamp to allow me to shorten the barrel and make it a 10.5" giving it the proper appearance for a WWII Tommygun. Can't wait to get started on that project! Top to bottom, Soviet Mosin Nagant 91/30 dated 1943, British No. 4 Mk. I dated 1942, German k98 dated 1940, Japanese Arisaka Type 38 made between 1938-1940
  15. Just to let you know, I'm still waiting patiently on these! CMCW hasn't distracted me entirely yet! I'll always intermix modern warfare even with all the WWII goodness! I don't think I'll ever tire of CMSF. I seriously never imagined modern warfare would hook me as much as it did but it did.
  16. Oh no problem and I totally understand! Just giving you a hard time because I'm excited for the finished project and I really do appreciate you taking the time to make them, and so fast too!
  17. To the sounds of cricket bows... I am proud man anyway... Covered now by three days... P.S. Well played sir, well played.
  18. Any new updates? They must be getting close, yes?
  19. Plus, I know it's not the answer you want to hear but, try to find any other games with so much longevity, so many hours of gameplay, supplemented by the hundreds and hundreds of hours additionally created by the community. It's well worth the money spent and even then calculates out to better value for the dollar than anything else out there. That is if you are a true wargamer and really do enjoy the games. If you do, there is nothing better or more valuable.
  20. I've mentioned it many times, but honestly, I really think CMA is my favorite era and theater of the bunch.
