Hellos, King Rat is currently playing on the action channel in southern california. Cheers.

I just finished reading "The Boer War" by Thomas Pakenham. A good read, pick it up if you get the chance

*Enters from red door, makes way past fireplace denizens and straight into the pantry from which the sounds of a heavy browsing immediately insue.* Anyway still awake? It's off to the roof for the sunrise, champagne and whatever else I can find in here

Ahhhhhhh *Streching shoulders, feeling the previously unnoticed tension dissapate from neck and back* so nice here I think, a nice japanese bath is in order. See you in a wee bit. BTW I'm expecting several geisha with sashimi and sake. Please have them directed to the spa. thank you.

ello ellos. I have set aside several scenarios for members of this thread but, have yet to order the game myself. Would appreciate your saving them for me anyhow. I will, without a doubt, be getting it soon. We could of course play different scenarios than those we've set up, so dun worry about it if you get another sucker lined up Cheers.

I was dating a Japanese girl who I knew to have graduated college but was amazed at her complete ignorance to many things I would expect a person to have been introduced to wherever they went to school. It finally came out that her entire education was gender based on how to be a good wife. A 4 year degree on cooking, cleaning, home economics... I'm not knocking it, it just blew my mind.

Got me by a while then as I found it looking for CSL. I'll find something to contribute yet :cool:

I have moved and changed providers and had several crashes since the beginning... Being lame I never write login stuff down and feel guilty asking for a fix every 6 months. Anyone remember the old BTS board from when they were doing Avalon Hill stuff? Used to be able to check it monthly and stay up to date. Huzzah for BTS

Orale' Puro Tijuas ese!!! I didn't know you could use computers en la ocho??? :eek: Yo soy de San Diego y tengo mi dentista en Tijuana. Tambien, de vez en quando, me han encontrado celebrando aya. Claro que te lo mandan donde sea que estas, pero si sale que necesitas una ayuda me avisas

I used to play with screenshots quite a bit a found hypersnap to be extreemely useful. You used to be able to get a free version with limited capability, not sure how they have it set up now http://www.hyperionics.com/ The cool thing about hypersnap is how you can use it to take a gazillion screens at one time to sift through later.

Due to VRAM requirements the war would have probably gone on into the 60's at least.

Most definitely, thanks for posting. Back to Russian TO&E's, I am confused... Trying to put all the data(myths?) I've gotten over the years together, it seems as though the Russians had a multitude of formations yet reading the above posts gives the impression of there being standardization with the TO&E's changing over time. blah (long ass sentence ). Did the Russians not employ even more variety in their infantry TO&E's than the Germans???

wow, that m20 is sweeeet.

A veteran I used to talk to commented lovingly of the shotgun he used in korea. His qoute "anything in the bush was mine". Poor guy apparently got his whole squad wiped out and his lower body mangled by friendly artillery...

Another communist plot...

I think he targetted his artillery 10' away from his own positions cause that was as far as good LOS went, thus calling in arty on himself.

I'll take one over ere...

You didn't say whether the carrier was succesful in going through the bocage, I didnt think they could... I am aware that certain allied tanks have this ability but it didn't think it was all allied vehicles. If your unit just backed into the bocage and became stuck, it seems like a reasonable situation to me. Trying to escape death and all... Overall however I dont think anyone was really happy with bocage in CM would expect Charles and comapany to revamp it for any return to the west.

My best success with snipers is to put them into a good position (hidden, out of the direct action, with good LOS to choice enemy units like unbuttoned tanks hq units or support units, not too close to enemy) and let the AI handle them. It can be hard to tell from CMBO's AAR how effective any particular unit really is or was. This is especially true for snipers who rarely get confirmed kills and who often show as having zero kills in the AAR. If you sniper is pinning FO's or buttoning enemy tanks he is doing a good job towards helping your force entire to win the battle.

Not exactly ontopic but... I used to like to use tanks to get MG units into good position quickly. However, doing this not only puts the units at great risk but it gives your enemy free intel as to your positions. I have become more and more reluctant to pay this price realizing what a force multiplier deception and stealth can be.

Do you mean that they get laid more often? Michael</font>

Thank you Germanboy for another cool tidbit.

And I thought infantry only games meant only the ground pounders themselves would be included as in no support weps whatsoever. I never expected these to be historical.
