Does anyone buy fighter/bombers?
marcusB replied to Makes The Jelly Judder's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
To me they more resemble a random disaster than a part of a tactical game. You just purchase them, and hope they blow up large chunks of the enemy, not gamey enough for me. Now if we could purchase "power-ups"... :eek: -
Med, are you playing against the AI or against human opponents? If you are squashing the AI on either side its probably time to match wits with a human opponent. Putting a human opponent behind the 'ole Russian troopskies might change your mind...

Meeting Engagements are Absurd
marcusB replied to PeterX's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
I submit that if one were to rank real Life battles-in "non" CM nomenclature- in terms of probability of occurence they would be: 1-Assaults (By far the most common) 2-Attacks 3-Probes 99- Meeting Engagements 1,000,000-Out of shape guys in their underwear, sitting in front of a computer screen eating potato chips, thinking they are anywhere close to experiencing "real" combat -
New grunt reporting to the battlefront
marcusB replied to Richard Marchand's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Hi Richard. welcome aboard! I bought this game to successfully get over another strategy game myself. CMBB must be the Methadone of the gaming world. -
If you are married, maybe you have networked with your wife's "The SIMS: Go To War" expansion pack.

a very silly but important question about processors
marcusB replied to sean butler's topic in Combat Mission - Tech Support
I am no computer wizard Sean, but your computer will rock with this game. It will take CMBB out to lunch, then spank its bottom. It will... you get the point. Actually 500 Mhz was a Pentium 3 processor if memory serves correctly. -
I just received an ad to buy CMBB from US store???
marcusB replied to marcusB's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
I wasted about 3 min. waving in the background of a TV news camera 20 years ago. But your right, I should have aprox 10 min. remaining. -
Heres a thought...Maybe have one team member control armor, the other inf/artillery. It may be a more accurately model of WW2 and less of a god game since there would be less communication between inf/armor. I would be interested to know if it ends up being too confusing.

marcusB replied to marcusB's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Apparently the US company I received the ad from thought that they could get the game from CDV for distribution to the US, which is unlikely. Therefore, if I would have tried to order the game it would have probably been listed as unavailable. The whole thing was probably cosmicly staged so that I could receive my few minutes of Warholian fame. :cool: -

If the company is selling the game in the US at a lower cost than, and against the wishes of BFC I did not want to give them free advertisement on BFC's forum. I did however want to alert BFC of the situation and this seemed to be the best/quickest way. -
I live in the US and received a mail-order advertisement for CMBB from a company with a US address. I believed it was the Euro version of the game.

PBEM and Multiplayer Help Needed
marcusB replied to Paul 87 LX's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Hi Paul. I would suggest starting with a PBEM game and letting your opponent set up the game. You can do this by going to the Opponent Finder Forum, stating that you are new to the game and requesting that someone set up a game and send it to you. -

Helping the AI give you a REAL fight!
marcusB replied to Mercury's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Does anyone use FTCR playing against human opponents in PBEM games? -
I am new to WW2 gaming, so no nuggets of wisdom there, but I know a good game/service when I see it. Thank you BFC from a new and loyal customer.
