  1. Great news Matt! Can't wait to play AK against "real" opposition.. Sascha
  2. Was erwartest Du Denim? CDV war schon immer..na ja, das sag ich jetzt lieber nich... Matt: Werewo and me just tested the files, results are in the mail I just sent you... Sascha
  3. I can confirm that. Version: CDV (german) I tried playing TCP/IP with a buddy last night, and the game would always crash on us (either on his or on my system). It *seemed* that the crashs would occur once the fighting started, so sometimes it would crash in the first round (on small, flat maps) or in a later round if our troops took a while to sight each other. Trying to use the auto-save to resume would also result in a crash. We both tried hosting, and the results were the same. We then went to play a TCP/IP in CM:BB (V. 1.03 CDV, german) which worked flawlessly. Error message that came up read something like: "Connection lost, the game will exit. You can resume your game later with the auto-save file" When we tried to use the auto-resume feature, there would be no message however, the game would just crash back to the desktop. We both use WinXP Pro and are on DSL (same ISP) btw. Needless to say, we were both pretty dissapointed after having bitten the bullet buying the sanitized german version (I know, silly us ) and then not being able to slug it out on the web.... Sascha
  4. LOL! Sorry to burst your bubble Michael, but "schweinhundt" was never a german word. The only time I'm hearing it, is in american video games or english/american movies... The correct term is "Schweinehund" and it's still being used to this day. Of course language develops over time, but there's not that big a difference between today's german language and that of WW2 (now WW1 and pre-WW1 are different matters). There's *plenty* of audio material from WW2 and the pre-war-era available and from what I've heard so far, they didn't use too many words or expressions that a German in the year 2002 wouldn't understand ("trend words" used by young people being an exception to this rule, but I guess this is the case with every new generation). There is a notable difference however, especially when it comes to German sound documents from the Third Reich: People tended to emulate the way NSDAP officials were speaking, using a weird, grave and precise way of pronouncing every single word. Other than that however, I don't see a lot of differences in spoken german language of 2002 and 1941. Guess now it shows that I didn't serve my time in the Bundeswehr (did civil service for the Red Cross instead). Had I been in military service, I surely would've known the meaning of "Stopfen" in the military context. Sascha
  5. Horus? TCP/IP oder PBM? Bin gerade etwas beschäftigt (ziehe bald in eine andere Stadt), also könnte PBM etwas langwierig werden. Wenn Du heute abend (Donnerstag) Lust auf ein TCP/IP Spiel hast, schreib mir 'ne Mail: Sascha.Gliss@t-online.de S.
  6. Being German myself, I mostly like CMBB's german sound files. BUT: What the hell is "Stopfen!" supposed to mean? I hear it frequently and in different variations (from infantry units) and it just sounds plain wrong and silly IMO . For the non-German speakers: The noun "Stopfen" translates as "plug" (barrel plug, butt-plug , etc.) while the verb "stopfen" means to stuff ("sich vollstopfen"=to stuff oneself with food, "eine Pfeife stopfen"=to stuff a pipe with tobacco, etc.) Now either my knowledge of my own language's military-speak is too narrow, or someone made a funny translation error... Sascha
  7. Was wondering about the 20mm/28mm thing myself. Had one of those heavy AT rifles in a canned scenario the other day and it kicked a$$ even at medium ranges.... Sascha
  8. Those things were designed to blow up entire houses in one shot: The soldier's finger indicates the "line" between propellant and explosive warhead. Just how wide is 380mm? Caliber: 380mm Weight (entire shell): 345 kgs Warhead "payload" (TNT): 125 kgs I guess the effect on soft targets in an open environment in the game is pretty realistic, especially if you fire into a huge crowd of infantry. Sturmtigers were an absolute rarity for sure, but they did see combat in WW2, so I think it was a good idea to include them in the game. More info (in german) on: www.tigerpanzer.de Sascha
  9. Na endlich! Great to see this site back up..downloading the explosions as we speak. BTW: What about other mods for CMBO like the german voices and the weapon sounds? Do they work for B2B as well? Sascha
  10. Panther in Technik Museum Sinsheim, Germany: Sascha
  11. I second that! I've been hooked since friday... 52 bucks? Yikes! Payed 44 Euros for it, guess I got off cheap, huh? Sascha
  12. Wow! Pretty good guess there.. Sturmtiger + one shot = 371 dead russian infantry... Sascha
  13. Well...hope this ain't a SPOILER , but I managed my highest number of (infantry-) kills with a single (on-map)-unit in one single shot today. Anyone wanna take guesses as to which unit I'm talking about and how high the tally was? Sascha
  14. Whoops! Good point Andreas, I'll edit the post... Sascha
  15. And I found yet another great canned scenario... Err..*scratches head* ++++POSSIBLE SPOILER AHEAD!!+++++++++++ ...well damn, I forgot the name, but it was the one where Soviet tanks attack a tractor factory and Germans defend with just a handful of infantry, a 37mm PaK and an AT rifle (lol!). After 7 turns or so, Pz38(t)s, PzIIs and PzIIIs appear on the scene...a very good one as well. Sascha [ September 21, 2002, 02:12 PM: Message edited by: 1Sascha ]
