  1. Oh it would be pretty easy with a few agreed upon house rules. Lets say you're a soviet squad seargent and your partner is a russian wing commander at a neatby base. You're trying to defend a bridge when youy notice some Tiger tanks approaching. You call to your partner for air support, maybe an escorted sortie of Il2's. I could think of 2 ways of handling the timing of the 2 games. 1 - make CMBB run in real time in the same way that a chess match sometimes has a limited time to make a move - say 5 minutes to every real time set of issued orders and then let IL'2 run in real time. (a typical IL2 flight may take 5 to 15 minutes). 2 - make IL'2 more turn based by simply limiting the flights to taking place every 20 minutes so that you would run off 20 CMBB turns for every IL2 flight. Either way the question is how do you reflect what happens in IL2 in CMBB? How do you remove units (or add them in the case of a succesful air drop)? And the answer seems to be - you can't. Still....there must be a way...
  2. I'm waiting for my copy of CMBB but I would like to ask a question even before it comes: Can you edit a saved game? Specifically - assuming you can save a scenareo every 60 seconds - can i somehow remove a tank or squad by editing the saved game file? My reason for wanting to do this is not to cheat but in order to combine CMBB with IL2 in a multiuser LAN party. I've always wanted to find a small scale combat simulator that's would be suitable for this and I'm winderign if this is it. Imagine creating a mission in both the ground and air simulator and running them simultaneously so that if your air support managed to blow up a few tanks on a given mission - the bad guys would have to remove that many tanks before the start of their next 60 sec turn. You get the idea...any support here would be appreciated.
  3. Will try to buy CMBB on my way home tonight but I do have 2 questions for those who already own it. 1 - Can you edit a saved game? Example - I've played a few rounds with someone or against the AI and I want to eliminate 2 tanks from the saved game. Any way to do this? 2 - Can you remove a piece from the 'board' during game play? Why am I asking? Simple - my buds and I LOVE IL2 multiuser and would love to combine it with CMBB. Imagine this if you will - a home lan with 2 machines cranking IL2 and 2 loaded with CMBB. Each game is set up with identical scenareos, terrain and orders of battle etc... If one side manages to take out a tank or truck in IL2 then they get to eliminate it from the ongoing CMBB game. Make sense what we're trying to do? Don't you think it would be cool to call in an air strike that way?
