Thin Red Line

Let me guess... with a big volcano on top of it ? :cool: [ September 26, 2002, 09:06 AM: Message edited by: Thin Red Line ]

I got your point but for me the cease-fire is not useful only when you loose. I is also an alternative for victory ; if you feel your opponent has suffered enough and don't want to turn the encounter into a slugfest ( for the reason i mentionned), you may offer him a break. If he takes it as a sign of weakness and refuses the cease-fire, he will still loose the game. What happen beyond the cease-fire (evacuation of the place by the defeated side, fight starting again, etc) is out of the scope of the CM battles. I'm mainly talking about casual H2H games, i never play the AI, and not for tournaments or ladders where the level of victory is more crucial.

I never figured out why in CMBO, and i guess it is the same in CMBB (but i didn't receive the game yet some plese tell me if i'm wrong), why is tthe cease-fire request kept secret ? In RL, if you want a cease-fire, i imagine you send a deleguation with a white flag toward the ennemy lines and negociations start. So why is it different in CM ? Why isn't the other side informed ? Is there any particular reason for that? I've asked many cease-fires in-game, when i was loosing but sometimes also when i was winning hands down to allow an honorable exit to my ennemy (and the carnage of last turns are rather boring...) with no success. The fact that it is kept secret plays a role here i think if the request was known by the ennemy it would be more common. And more realistic.

If you consider Anatolian Turkey as Asia, well, no.

Interesting discussion. I never observed the effect of real 20mm, so can you please elaborate because i'm confused ? This is not clear for me. Do you mean that even with a rarity factor the weapon is still too cheap in CMBB ? Regards Nicolas

Måkjager, Your Tigers are remarkable, as were you Jagdpanthers. I'm very happy to be able to finish 2 Normandy scenarios i'm playing in PBEM, Cintheaux-Totalize and Crown of Thorns, with your PVIs included. I'm looking forward to see such quality mods from you in CMBB. Best regards Nicolas.

I have to say that I don't know where this is comming from but I would say Western Europe is doing a good a job as possible in helping refugees and immigrants and trying to integrate them into Multicultural Society's. Saying otherwise means not knowing what one's talking about. To compair games with a big problem like immigration seems to me like comparing apples and pears. Mies</font>

Maybe a kind soul could post a screenshot of the M17 it would help to sustain the frustration of reading this posts for those who don't have the games yet.

CMBB hasn't reached Ankara yet. Wait, it is in Turkey, maybe that's normal after all...

But anyhow that would be excellent for russian HQs voices !

Part of your questions is answered here

Parabellum, May i suggest you change the title of your topic, less people will read it and learn the trick

Did you bring a tape recorder on a golf course ?

I must be dead, it must be Heaven.

I don't clearly understand if it is a thing already present in CMBO or if it is a version compatibility problem in CMBB :confused: Can you look at your oppponent forces because he failed to enter a password or because he had no opportunity to do it until now ?

Take this opportunity to upgrade.

No, it simply means that you can use AA trucks in your games. :cool:

Not for me. I've always wondered why, in a 2D dimension, i was allowed to go forward and backwards but not left or right with the mouse. I find CMBB system more intuitive, and it allows us the previous rotating movement at the same time. I don't see the problem, but I must admit i never use a backward rotation. PS. I'm not Chad Harrisson

The dreaded soft vehicule bug ? How was it fixed exactly ?

Excuse-me but what was the problem ?

It is the buttoned sign just above the small landscape symbol on the interface. It gives you the exact feeling of closing the hatch and looking through the loop-holes of the tank. Not much, but i really enjoy it. [ September 23, 2002, 10:31 AM: Message edited by: Thin Red Line ]

In CMBO, if used correctly, snipers don't die. They sneak, shoot, run out of LOS, and again. They (sometimes) run out of ammo and exit the map. I saw elite snipers hidden and unspotted 30m aways from hords of ennemies.

No other differences AFAIK. But it will be more easy to tell when we get our hands on the non CDV version.

BFC was talking only about the manual i think.

I don't.
