beer for you!

most certainly a pre-made scenario.... and I will watch football atthe same time!

Stalingrad winter counter-attack

thanks for the cool link... someone mod this for CM:BB when it comes out, looks so sweet

couldn't you just say 6 days? Sounds better!

well, in all fairness, I think someone else got Partisans, but far be it for me to take the glory!

yea, I kinda thought the same thing..

you are right about the Blue Division.

My first guess would be Soviet Naval Infantry</font>

My company usually waits until the product is in the hands of UPS before we bill or run credit cards. However, I don't see anything wrong with the practice if the company in question gives notice of this policy beforehand. Which BFC did.

Based upon how those M40s handle in Yelnia Stare, would you want to take them in an attack or ME against Mk. IIIs and IVs?</font>

Well, I don't think thatthat is its purpose. CMBO is going to play differently than CM:BB is. CMBO has a faster pace which some say is un-realistic, CM:BB has a slower pace which I have heard is more realistic. I prefer CM:BB, judging by the demo only, over CM:BO mainly because CM:BB is a far better war game. I am much more interested in the East Front. And I flat out enjoy watching the game system grow and get better. I also enjoy more realism and added options to CMBB which were not in CMBO like the death clock, command tanks andtank formations, the "uh-rah" of the Soviet infantry, the extreme fog of war. One of the better parts of the CMBO experience for me was playing QB with my brother in Nevada via the TCP/IP. CMBB will still be able to provide that, the demo depicts most green Russian troops, I am sure they would not be as frustrating to play in 1945 with regs or vets being a little more common in fair fights. Sorry to ramble, but I think that the demo is being unfairly judged by the scenarios which were chosen to be included. Mind you, I think they are excellent scenarios, but would maybe question why not a more even combined arms late war scenario or street fight was not included, as it seems like this has bothered many people. (not me, I'm a happy camper as is!) Judging the game by the demo scenarios is wrong and does little justice, I think, to what is a fine tactical wargaming system which will do nothing but get better as crack scenarios are released by the design community and beautiful mods make the game gather new life. So, yes, CMBB does not feel like CMBO, but to me, with an eye towards realism and not so much "game-ism" (no offense intended by the use of the G word) which CMBB brings to me. Actually, CMBB will play a better "game" than CMBO, albeit more detailed and maybe frustrating to the Lay person. Sorry for bad grammar and spelling, just trying to help. -V [ September 10, 2002, 03:48 PM: Message edited by: V ]

Picture of James looks like he is in the wheelchair... Thats pretty damn sad... Still woudl like to have a signed box! great movie

My first and only try with this one as the Germans, I had no idea what lay ahead of me. So I kept the Mk IV's right where they were and sent the 2 platoons of Mk III's forward on each flank... As they advanced, the IV's provided great overwatch positions, so when a ATG popped up to take a shot at the III's, the IV's would lay dvestating fire upon them. the cover arc worked really well there. I also kept the IV's back because I figured if the III's got ambushed and mauled, I would still have the whole platoon of IV's to finish the job. The AI also, stupidly, crested the first hill with its KV's and were destroyed one by one

Which gremlin gave you milk in your youth-time?? What in .... is a NAZI-AI??? Isnt it possible to left out such political designations?? :mad: </font>

Sure is. Yesterday I played a tcp fight in CMBO. That was my first one after having played the CMBB demo, and boy was that obsolete ! I didn't have any difficulties adjusting to the CMBB type of play, on the contrary. I adjusted so well, that in fact, I'm finding it hard to come back to CMBO at this stage, with only a demo to entertain me...</font>

perhaps</font>

pre-ordered Saturday... very happy about this... hope I got in fast enough to be one of the first runs... I am almost sure I will but somewhat worried I will not... God Bless America...

I thought the demo was great and I had a great time playing the 2 scenarios included. Thanks, guys at BF.C I enjoyed it allot!

CM:BB no question.</font>

CM:BB no question.

Brilliant. I had allot of fun with this one against the Nazi AI. Of course, you have to set the AT guns up totally different than the scenario default, but it is worth the time, watching the Nazi tanks fall right into the kill zone. I put all the AT guns in a cicrular position behind the big hill in the middle of themap that the Germans have to crest. Once they pass it, I open fire from the right, as they turn to engage and destroy the guns over therer, I open up on the left and get allot of flank and rear shots (key to using the 45) Finish them off with the KV's Whoever made this scenario, my hats off to ya, I had great fun with it last night. Posting screnshots soon

Sounds like a pretty cool idea. I would certainly try and play such a scenario...

Is it just me, or do I really see a 23 post thread on the bird sounds?
