Count Zero

Even integrated graphics evolve. Sure, the GMA950 isn't impressive compared to the current mobile GPU's, but the benchmarks I've seen indicate that it would be able to run the CM games decently. The shared memory thing is becoming less of an issue too as long as you use paired RAM-sticks (2x512 Mb or 2x1 Gb).

That´s great, great news indeed!

I´m here and rather Swedish. 50% swede, 50% Überfinn.

There was a lot of German counterattacks against the post-Kursk Soviet offensives. From the top of my head : 4th Panzer Army around Kharkov and later Kiev, 6th Army on the Donetz river.

That´s the *BEST* splash-screen mod I´ve seen in ANY game... Please send it to me unless someone hosts it really, really soon...

Same here... I´m only half-überfinn tough

I´m not too concerned about how many casualties the minefields cause (if any...), I think of them as a way to deny certain paths to enemy manouvers and funnel them into MG-covered ´kill-sacks´ instead. I wish CM had a system like Steel Panthers, when you´d buy generic ´fortification´ points and then use them for TRP´s/minefields/wire depending on how the map looked.

I think the reason was lack of space on the CD...

I´m toying around a bit with a platoon of PanzersIII´s; keeping the Core units in a scenario-file, generating a new map for each battle in the scenario editor and then importing the map and my "Core Pz-platoon" into a QB. This way I can keep the leader bonuses and names, bump the experience when they deserve it or drop it when they lose crewmembers. Works like a charm so far

IMHO, it wasn´t Wehrmact ´doctrine´ to use the Panzer formations for both creating the breaktrough and for the later exploitation phase. The difficulties of the late-war Wehrmacht on the offensive was caused more by the decline of the quality and manpower of the infantry divisions in the later stages of the war and the comparative lack of air/artillery support. No German offensive from Zitadelle onward looked good on paper even before they started. During both of Germanys last offensives on the western front (Battle of the Bulge and Operation Nordwind), the task of creating the initial breakthrough was placed on the Volkgrenadier Divisions. When the understrenght and badly trained infantry formations failed to achieve their tasks, the PzDiv reserves where either called upon to create the breaktrough themselves (12th SS hammering itself bloody on Elseborn ridge during the Bulge) or the offensive called off (Nordwind).

I remember I tought I wouldn´t be able to get into CMBO, since it only covered the comparatively uninteresting western front...
