[Engineers got Creamed...badly]

It's not a solution but you could split the squad of engineers into two teams which at least reduces the risk of losing the whole lot.

[Axis Side - 20 000 point Quick Battle DAR]

Thanks Ian. What a terrific read. I've thoroughly enjoyed visiting this thread over the past few days and will now check out DT's view of the battle while your comments and screenshots are fresh in my mind. I'm looking forward to your future updates. Best of luck.

[First Impressions]

I'm impressed. The demo is very polished. I thoroughly enjoyed CMSF's modern day combat but I'm glad CMBN has made WW2 bolder and better looking than ever.

[Is there any truth to the rumor that...]

I don't have to imagine it. In the early 80's I was a soldier in the Australian Army Reserve. At the time I had only a rudimentary understanding of nutrition but even then, as a callow 18 year old grunt, I was shocked at the almost complete absence of roughage available in the one man ration packs.

Matters hadn't improved by the late 80s when I joined the Reserves. I recall numerous plumbing problems during basic training.

[Finally!]

Yay! Let there be light.

[Any1 in Australasia region 4 multiplayer ?]

I'll give PBEM a crack if you're interested. I tried a couple TCP games but prefer PBEM as it'll give the synapses time to digest what's happening.

[Combat Mission for Newbies Guide]

When in PBEM or WEGO mode one must be very wary when issuing direct targeting orders, especially to AFVs with limited supplies of HE shells. This ammo is really quickly used if an AFV is left firing for even 1 full minute.

You'll find a workaround to limiting ammo consumption and exposure in WEGO in the Shoot-n-Scoot sticky - http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=82035. I frequently use this tip to conserve ammo.

[Buying both titles but S&H @ $21 ?]

Our full game downloads are hosted on a huge server cloud network with unlimited bandwidth and 100% availability. So full download speeds are pretty much guaranteed all the time

No complaints here. I didn't want to wait the hour it'd take to download the CMA demo from a mirror site, so purchased the game and downloaded it in about 4 minutes.
