    A lot of old timers coming back

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    Talking of old timers, hello again, all. I'm sure most of you won't remember me but I live in hope that one or two might. It's been over seven years since I last posted, which certainly shocked me.

    I can certainly remember the name but I'm not sure we ever did battle via email?

    No idea why I suddenly decided to drop by here again - last game I played was CMAK - but Battle For Normandy sounds like a recipe for success and I hope it's a huge hit.

    Sadly any gaming I do these days is on consoles, for reasons of cost and time, but this may be what I need to tempt me back from the dark side...

    All the best,

    Teddy

    So, who's as Cheery as an angryolized TNT Waffle?

    Axe,is gone.Snaker,is also gone.DaveH was never even really here.Abbott moonlights in both threads.Soddy stops by every now and then,but I suspect that is only when he forgets to take his meds.Etc.If the reason is that that no one plays CM anymore,then why are there still so many people(including the low numbered ones)in the pong thread?Was MG really all that attractive(It has been a long time,and I really don't remember all that much)?Am I just imagining things?I thought if I became not only the most hated person around here,but also the best CM playing bastige anyone has ever seen(which clearly I am),we could attract more "customers".But,alas.Maybe we need to come up with some smacktarded medievil crap where we call each other Knights,and all that nonsense?

    Eh,I think I'll just start trying to get myself banned,or somefink.

    :mad:

    I can only speak for myself, but for me Cheery Waffle was more about PBEM than the banter (fun though that was).

    I've got a couple of CMAK games ticking over (in fact Mike is kicking my men around vineyards while his guns and planes aerate my armour), but I guess I've just been playing Combat Mission too long and it fails to tickle my fancy any more.

    Sadly (again, just for me), I find CM: Team America highly unappealing, even if I had a PC capable of playing it.

    I know cuddly warm Dave felt we'd jumped the shark, but what on earth happened to Axe?

    Chin chin,

    After being verbally slathered in deranged molten wibble by the incomparably frothing MG, everything else just seems so flaccid and meaningless. Still, just for old time's sake...

    Really rather furious Teddy

    I'm game, if you fancy a little TNT chucking action. I can only offer CMAKage, though, as that's all that's residing on my HD (20GB ain't what it used to be).

    I tuned in to find out about CMx2. I, too, am seriously underwhelmed by Shock Force, but at least it saves any rummaging around in my PC's gubbins trying to upgrade a multitude of obsolete bits. What's the ETA for the spanking new WWII incarnation?

    Here's to sugar on your strawberries,

    Now I've changed my Y-fronts, there should be a small yet perfectly formed package of TNT waiting for you in your hotmail account (I lost your other address about two reformats ago...). If you're still feeling lucky, let me know if it meets with your approval :mad:

    In other news, Axe has sent me some Berli creation that's apparently been "updated" from CMBO ... it's early days, but I've already got a bad feeling about this :mad:

    And Dave is slowly but surely wearing down my plucky Krauts with a never-ending supply of Shermans. My Tiger is starting to feel awful lonesome :mad:

    :mad: :mad: :mad: :(:(

    But who's smoking now, maggot?

    I'll take some of that hot TNT action, you frothing loon, but for God's sake something moderately sensible.

    I'm curious to see if your "casualties are where it's at" approach translates to CMAK...

    In other news ... busy Axe is, of course, a maggot :mad: And Dave is about to find out what Tigers can do to massed Shermans attacking brave Krauts hiding in foxholes :mad:

    Teddy

    Edited to add: I've managed to persuade a chum to convert Road To Moscow to CMAK. The map looks as gorgeous as it ever did and we're looking forward to replaying it without one of us having to suffer as the Russkies.

    What a splendid chap you are! Have you got something in mind or shall I dig out something small, yet perfectly formed, to send on?

    :mad: :mad:

    Cuddly Dave's monitor woes should ensure I have even more spare CMAK time on my hands

    Bottoms up!

    Welcome back, you suave maggot you.

    Thanks, Scoop smile.gif

    Dave, the Venerable Technically-Challenged Maggot (who obviously took too many illegal substances in the groovy 60s), is playing hide and seek in our BDLRM Revenge match, but other than that TNT-chuckin' ain't what it used to be.

    One PBEM chum has crossed the Channel to improve Anglo-French relations (washing down mouldy cheese with cheap plonk, while impressing hairy-armpitted women with his stiff upper lip) and the other has disappeared Down Under for a month to experience, in his own words, "the bowel-loosening pleasure of sharks".

    :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Still, in all the downtime I finally finished From Here To Eternity. Which is nice. I think.

    Maggot picks Waffle to be his Cherry mate

    Greetings Wafflers,

    In the gaming equivalent of being slathered in hot TNT and then asked to hold a flaming Molotov cocktail while he went to water his pansies, Dave (the venerable maggot) has well and truly kicked my bottom in BDLRM 2004 :mad: :mad: :mad:

    The cunning old chap inflicted the worst defeat I've ever suffered that hasn't involved my little pixel army surrendering after fleeing the field of battle or lying down and dying en masse :mad: :mad: :mad:

    I bow down before the crusty warrior and cordially suggest the tournament is renamed next year ... any suggestions are welcome tongue.gif

    Teddy (fighting his way through a crocodile pit while delivering witty one-liners to his buxom side-kick and attempting not to spill his vodka martini) ;)

    pbem helper, again!

    As I understand it, you've gone too early. Don't switch to F&T until one of you has viewed a movie AND plotted (I find it easiest just to "edit" the file by pressing F2 before sending it).

    If I've followed your synopsis correctly, your playing partner has gone a turn too soon and you're the one who should make the jump to light speed.

    While we're on PBEM Helper, has anyone else had a "malfunction" whereby they're invariably kicked back to the desktop (with a message that the resolution 0x0 is not supported) after their opponent's movie is greyed out? It's no big deal - I just fire up the file again and continue to the natural conclusion - but I'm intrigued to know what's causing it.

    Cheers,

    Teddy

    play full battle as a movie?

    I don't know if you consider this counts, but Grand Prix Legends (1998, I believe, with fantastic physics and still arguably the most impressive racing sim out there) had a full playback feature.

    It was even possible to retrieve all the footage from an online event (both qualifying session and race - sometimes two hours long), featuring 18 cars, and rewatch all the action (every gear change or twitch of the wheel) from each driver's cockpit or various camera positions around the track.
