I'm with you noxnoctum. BFC, don't get me wrong. Single player mode has plenty of value. I see it as a way to prepare the gamer for playing against other gamers. Nothing more.

If Y, X, and Z happens, that will be nice. IMO, it will have everything to do with patience because as you have said, TCP/IP WeGo compromise won't be released initially. (Yeah, that was a real nice time for CMBO when TCP/IP play was released. I will never forget it.) I've waited this long. I can wait some more. No problem there. I am not saying the game should be delayed. Not at all. The point being is If Y happens and X never happens, the reason why I would want to buy the game will sadly not exist. It is the social aspects that go with wargaming that I like. I can do lots of stuff on my own. Say, this brings back a lyric from a Yes song from the 70s that goes something like, "Don't surround yourself with yourself." The whole idea behind my post was that I respectfully submit you are under-estimating the desire for this feature (and over-estimating the lack of desire for it.) If folks don't speak up, how can anyone really know for certain?

As a long time CMx1 player, I am anxiously waiting for CM: Normandy to be released (-and to see what features it is released with.) Its been a long wait indeed since CMAK, but I have no desire to play any modern era games at all -ever. With that said, I for one will not be playing CM: Normandy as a single player. I look forward to (hopefully) someday again spending my Saturday mornings gaming against my best friend who lives 2600+ miles away. BFC, I've supported you for quite a while, but if you will not return to WeGo, I just cannot see how I can even buy your product. (My apologies.) IMO, RTS sucks. It always has. I don't want to waste my time trying to rush around a battlefield -trying to make sure that I remembered all of my forces -and then find out that the one crutial unit I should have moved, I didn't move. If I want more pressure in my life, I'd stay at work 24 hours a day. Gaming is a way to relax, have fun, and make friends. You guys made important inroads with WeGo. The pause at the end of the turn makes BIG sense. Please don't throw that away.

There is good news indeed. Histwar: Les Grognards is now available for preorder. The release date is set for around Christmas. Woooo Hoooooooooooooo!!!!! You can preorder it here: [deleted] Happy Holidays to one and all.

I just have to say thank you for this thread. I think it really should be made a sticky thread -OR CMN should have its own forum (dare I say it?) I cannot wait for CMN to be release. (CMSF is not my cup-o-tea.) Anyways, this thread really fills things in for me and I appreciate it.

Thanks a gazillion for this thread. I can't wait.

How about cm:dd? "CM: D-Day"?

Who says good things don't happen? They say one picture equals a thousand words! Soooo much to say.......... 1. God, its been such a loooooooooong time. This is REAL good news. 2. How about some more screenshots? Just what are those Tigers facing off against? 3. Bocage - I wonder how that will look. 4. It certainly will be nice to see some King Tigers again. 5. How about a real name? Refering to "the next World War Two Western Front Combat Mission game" seems llike it would get to be rather tedious. 6. And now for the 8000 pound gorilla standing in the corner: Its time to give us our own Forum so we won't "bother" the CM:SF probies. LT

Throw away WE-GO???? If Battlefront does that they will lose a customer. I've bought two of every game up to CMSF. (I just don't wargame any era after WWII.) This is a sad day indeed. WE-GO made Battlefront, IMO. There just isn't any reason to throw that away.

Thanks for saying that Steve.

Sorry, but I won't wargame any period later than WW2. (SciFi not included in that.) I can't wait to get back to gaming with Combat Mission. So, just when is the WW2 CMx2 game going to be released? I seem to remember that it was mentioned in the past that a time frame of six months after Shockforce was released. Has there been anything mentioned in forums?

No politics here guys. Just an observation regarding the game. With the addition of an entire army to the game, does it look like CMSF will take a while longer to finish? This is BIG news. Maybe sticking with WWII wouldn't have been a bad idea after all? http://en.rian.ru/russia/20051220/42587105.html ---------------------------------------------- Russia to take Syria's side if conflict with U.S. arises - Russian MPs 20/12/2005 20:41 MOSCOW, December 20 (RIA Novosti) - Russia will take Syria's side if charges against Syrian officials with involvement in the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri cause a conflict between the United States and Syria, two Russian parliamentary members said Tuesday. "If Russia is to choose between its two strategic allies, it will undoubtedly take Syria's side," said Shamil Sultanov, a coordinator of an inter-faction association, Russia and the Islamic World: A Strategic Dialogue. Nikolai Leonov, a member of parliament's security committee, who had recently visited Syria along with Sultanov and other MPs, said it was primarily beneficial for the U.S. to accuse Syria of murdering Hariri. "Indeed, Syria is an excellent oil corridor with access to deep-water Mediterranean ports. Besides, this is a good pretext to distract the world community's attention from the events in Iraq," the MP said. Leonov said earlier that he was concerned that Syria could face the Iraqi scenario. In October, an international commission chaired by Detlev Mehlis delivered a report to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and members of the Security Council suggesting that high-ranking Syrian and Lebanese officials had been involved in the February 14 killing of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Syria said the report was politically motivated and inaccurate.

I have to echo the above sentiment even though I just learned about it. I bought two of every CMx1 title they put out. We-go is the only way to wargame in my book. I am grateful for the TONS of great fun that I had with them. <sigh> With that said, I have to say that it is a REAL weird feeling to know that I won't be buying the first CMx2 title. I just do not wargame anything contemporary. Besides that is one part of the world that I want absolutely nothing to do with. IMHO, they would've done better having Space Lobsters from Mars as the first CMx2 title. Good luck Battlefront. At least we have Les Grognards.

That is VERY GOOD news. They should call it Up In Flames.

double post

Hello again Vonbakker. IIRC, Depending upon the chosen region for the scenario, when you start the Scenario Editor, it should be the default tile that it starts with. Otherwise it should be all the way in the upper left hand corner. Also note that the onscreen depiction will change with elevation chosen. Good luck and welcome (again.)

The only posts I ever bother to look for and read in these threads are the ones that Steve posts.

Corsica was annexed by France in 1768 and was hence part of France in 1769 when Napoleon was born. He was French.

The idea of having everything all in one pack is the BEST idea that I've seen around here for a very long time. Great idea DavidI! Thanks
