  1. Just found this book on amazon, looks interesting. Deals specifically with Sicilly 1943 but it sounds like it deals with first hand accounts so if you ever wondered what was going through your pixel-truppens head before you sent them off to their doom then this may help. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mussolinis-Island-John-Follain/dp/0340833637/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1347541503&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Mussolinis-Island-Untold-Invasion-Sicily/dp/0340833637 Not read it yet but have just ordered it as I thought it looked quite good. Anyone else read this one?
  2. Thx for the response guys, it seemed a pretty balanced review to me too by someone who understands the genre and what type of game the devs are aiming for. I already own CMBN but not played it in a while so thought I might pick up CMFI and learn to play again using the new engine and wait for the CMBN upgrade arrive (I think that will be when the Market Garden expansion comes out). Also chronologically it makes sense but that might be me arguing in favor of a purchase. I must confess that the Regio Esercito are a major draw. Having been brought up on tales of Italian military incompetence there is a perverse streak in me that wants to see if I can turn them into battlefield titans. Unless of course I hear that all their officers look and sound like Nicholas Cage in which case the deals off
  3. Just a heads up, apologies if this has been posted before. http://nzgamer.com/pc/reviews/1706/combat-mission-fortress-italy.html Would be interesting to hear what all you owners of this title think. Been thinking of taking the plunge and buying this but just not sure at the mo. Cheers
  4. Just wondering It must be close now (fingers crossed).
  5. Checked with BF and my license code hadn't registered properly. It's working now. Thx
  6. Hi Guys I bought the new British module about 2hrs ago but everytime I try to enter the License code I get a 501 error code. I have used copy and paste and manual entry with the code but still getting an error code. So I was just wondering how long it took the servers to be updated with new License codes after you have bought a new game. Thx
  7. Hi all new guy here. Just sent new files off to everyone but one and started my aars. Can't promise the aars will be that riviting but, I hope, usefull. Do we get marked down for bad grammer and crap spelling..
  8. Sounds good Where can I sign up, that's if I'm not too late already?
  9. Thanks for replies guys. The op hangs when I try and launch it from the operations menu. I double click on battle in question and that's it, the computer hangs. and you don't evan get to see the Operation introduction text. The machine is Win XP 3.2gig CPU 1 gig of ram and loads of HD space. It's an alienware pc and all the other big ops run OK when launched. I downloaded the OP from the B&T website.
  10. Maybe the wrong forum but anyone having trouble getting this golden oldie to work? Everytime I try to launch my PC just hangs. Most annoying as I've been enjoying the other B&T CMBO remakes. Could anyone help me on this one. Thanks
  11. Thanks guys. Not quite strated it yet, just finishing off An Army at Dawn to find out more about the Med campaign. Francko, it was your excellent scenario which got me interested in the Korsun pocket to start with. Did I hear correctly that a KP scenario pack is to be released or was that just wishfull thinking Either wayI await your next battle wih interest, Micheal Dorosh. It was Sarjar's book which first got me interested in the Eastern front in the first place. I read the book at roughly the same age as the author was portraying himself to be in the book and was blown away by his experinace. I have heard that there's an argument saying that his account is not entirly true but I'm in no postion to argue either case. What did Nash say about it?
  12. Glad to hear you guys enjoyed it and I look forward to reading it myself. I was concerned the author may be sympothetic to the Germans. Stryker, I've heard about the game about the Korsun Paocket and I am a bit curious and would like to play a demo if one is available. As I understand it the game is out quite soon so hopefully there will be a demo soon.
  13. Hi all. I've just purchased Hell's Gate by Douglas E Nash which is about the chekassey pocket in Jan 44. It looks good and having reads the first few paragraphs the style looks good too. I was wondering if anyone else here has read the book and have any thoughts on it's quality
  14. I'd be more than happy to check them both out. Thanks.
  15. I'm sure that uniform is against the Geneva convention. I think the ruling comes under weapons of mass halucination
  16. LOL, no worries PK and please excuse my rant, but that was without doubt the most amazing shot I've seen in CMBB. I checked my odds for hitting the KV and they were 5%, so I thought you'd have about the same against me, then I thought that the armour would be enough to deflect it anyway. What really got me was that I checked the armour quality and nothing was listed so it is 100%, and no shot traps in sight, but still a weak point is found. All told it was probably hundreds to one against that actually happening , and must translate as a hit on a drivers vision slit at 720m on a speeding Panzer with only a few seconds to aquire and shoot. It's enough to make any watching Abrams hand over his laser rangefinders and drive off a cliff. You are now you well ahead in our game, but it aint over yet, and my luck will certainly change muhahahaha etc. etc. In the cricket I didn't really blame Anderson, he's a novice and he's asked to go in against the best side in the world where every ball was vital and the world is watching, no wonder he lost it. I would like to have a go at Nasser, why on earth did he put Anderson in when he had Caddick with a spare over and figures of 4-35. IMHO it was his bonkers decision to use the novice who was having a bad day and forget about the veteran who was on form that probably cost England the game. </font>
  17. I was gutted about the cricket as well. What was Mr Anderson thinking bowling short and wide. Hehe apolgies for the KV, I think he had three shredded wheat this morning.
  18. I hope you got the last file OK. I'm still waiting on your gamey tigers to appear. But when they do I've got some tasty cocktails waiting for them.
  19. Great i'm in. Format sounds fine by me but just a quick thought. Are we going to leave the map generation to the programe or grap one from the scenario depot or somewhere else?
  20. Down to page 5!!!. Not for long cos I feel a "bump" coming on.
