Come now... Defender of the Crown on the Amiga. Didn't have an Amiga myself, so I shamelessly used my buddy's.

Must chime in: I have played the game fairly intensively for the last two months, and I have never seen the sneak-to-exhaustion problem. In fact, I am constantly amazed at what my (regular) troops put up with and endure.

Hi Biltong, Like all the gents above, I'd like a copy. Email in the profile. Thanks!

Alternately, the CMBB disc lives in the dvd, and the CMBO disc lives in the burner.

I knew that. I've read all of his sci-fi stuff - most of it several times. His contemporary stuff is great too. Use of Weapons in one of my favourites, but it's been a while so I couldn't quite place the name

Ok, thanks. So until I can spot this happening again, and be a little more aware of what exactly is happening, I'll assume LOS (not spotting ) is reciprocal. Thanks again.

...but I suspect your truck drivers aren't. "Zakalwe", correct me if I'm wrong, but that's outta an Ian Banks novel, right?

Michael, yes I got a "blocked" message and the LOS tool turned black. It was not a spotting issue. I don't remember now whether there was any smoke. Like I said, I might have missed something or been imagining things. I know for a fact that a coupla nights ago I kept waking up from nightmares about what's happening to my tanks in my pbem game of Izum Diet Plan, but that's beside the point. Anyway, my question remains: Given that spotting is not a factor, will LOS always be reciprocal?

I might be imagining this, but a few games ago I could have sworn that I got fired upon my a HMG but when attempting to fire back was told that LOS was blocked. Is my memorey that flaky, or are there instances where LOS isn't reciprocal?

Yes, actually Oleg Maddox does just that in the world of flightsims with IL-2 and the forthcoming IL-2: Forgotten Battles.

And people say the visuals in this game are sub-par. Hah!

I'd settle for separate 3D models for all vehicles currently in the game.

This one is a real pain. I never understood why a unit in a foxhole in plain view of my infantry would suddenly "disappear" from sight. Is it a feature of EFOW? In that case, I may go back to regular Full FOW...

You know, that is how I've actually always pronounced it, but I thought it was incorrect. Thanks for the heads up.

Correct. My late grandfather was actually part Finnish (the other part British - yeah, don't ask) but I never made it that far in learning the language. I did see Talvisota with no subtitles, though.

Since nobody is reading the Jagdpanther thread anymore, I'll give this its own thread. Quote: Ok, since nobody did this yet, here it is: http://home.online.no/~joaruu/Recordings.html :cool: I'm not a German native so it might not be perfect. But it should be very close. I guess I'll be flamed if not.

Hi Rune. Yes, it was a complete blast! But the tactical challenge was...unchallenging.

No spoilers here, but...uh, guys, is this one even supposed to be played against the Allied AI? Doesn't say in the briefing.

!!!???!!! That's better gas mileage than many modern cars!

Every time the AI does someting smart, it's a bug? :cool:

Ok, I'll make another attemt now that I'm sober and hopefully lucid. :cool: A splash screen is the main game screen. Ok. I have the one with the Soviet propaganda posters and it is excellent! But what about the picture that gets displayed (at least on a win98 rig) right at the start of booting the game? Any way of changing that one? (Can't find the relevant bmp)

Uh... A "splash screen" is the main screen in-game, right, with the buttons to start game, or design scenario or whatever? How about the pic that appears on screen two seconds after you double-click the CMBB icon? What's that called? And is it possible to change it? (I browsed the .bmps but couldn't find anything...)

Amen. I don't get all the gripes about "brittle infantry". If anything, I often think that infantry perform above and beyond the call of duty in CMBB. At least they're tougher than I'd ever be. I've gotten away with murder in CMBB, plotting insane open-ground assaults and then sitting gawking at the screen going "My (regular) squads actually survived that?!?"

Excellent! Now all we need is his kid brother, the ISU-122!
