I bought it at GAME. A computer gaming magazine had an advert in it for CMBO. It included a great offer - if I sent off my receipt proving I got it from GAME (or Electronics Boutique) I could get a free poster of war shiznit! I have done so and now await my poster with a worm on my tongue. I mean baited...urrr...BATED breath.

Haha - I tend to use rubble to attack from and not just move through.

Which, of course, ties in with how Allied troops took out a fair few of those bunkers' inhabitants.

It doesn't bother me at all.

I don't think they did. I can't locate any code name references for it. "Battle Of Berlin" crops up now & then, but I can't detect any sort of codename. Perhaps it formed an epilogue to Operation Bagration.

I suppose you could use "stubbornness" and "aggro" levels like I have noted Airborne Assault does: http://www.battlefront.com/products/aa/Images/AA2.jpg [ July 04, 2002, 06:42 PM: Message edited by: Capricornelius ]

You should read Paul Fussell's Wartime: Understanding & Behavior In The Second World War. He says that men in combat go through 3 stages, veterans exhibiting Process #3. First of all they think "It'll never happen to me" and have never seen what bullets, mines, etc. do to flesh. Then they think "It might happen, but if I take more cover, keep extra alert, etc. I can avoid it." Stage 3 involves them thinking: "It WILL happen to me - I can avoid it by getting out of here!" Green troops, he goes on to say, serve better than vets in direct frontal assaults because of their youthfully naive zeal and daredevil nature. To quote Sergeant Carwood Lipton of Screaming Eagles: "I took chances on D-Day I would never have taken later in the war." And remember - this Division had never seen action prior to D-Day. Just a little extra morsel to chew on . [ July 04, 2002, 03:23 PM: Message edited by: Capricornelius ]

What kind of ungodly mission would require that??? Ending WWII???

A quote from Alfred Lang, who came ashore at "Omaha" during Operation Overlord (he had joined 110th Field Artillery's HQ Battery): Sgt J. Robert Slaughter: Snipers or just sharpshooters?

And to those anal blowhards who didn't get it...

No. We call it "Playing PBEM normally".

A "cheaper"??? :confused: :confused: :confused:
