Looks like piracy
Sunflower Farm Boy replied to NotreDame89's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Go sell some insurance goof. Hopefully you know more about that than copyright law, especially considering it is EXPLICITLY stated that copies can be made for personal use in your license agreement....and that's for any software you buy. What I do with my originals is nobody's concern but mine. -

Sunflower Farm Boy replied to NotreDame89's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Ditto that. I've been doing that since the C-64 days on 5 1/4"s. Now I burn two copies for myself, and sell the originals on e-Bay to get as much $$$ back as possible. I just pad the shipping costs to cover the cost of buying the game at EB or wherever. As for piracy, hey, it's only illegal if you get caught. -
How Do You Use Russian Tactics
Sunflower Farm Boy replied to Slater's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
And don't forget the judicious use of Russian arty. 82mm and 120mm mortars are relatively cheap. I time my assaults to occur when the bombardment has been launched by setting up small avenues of advance between arty targets. So what if a stray round routs a few conscripts, it's getting there with the mostest that matters. Defend in depth with lots of reserve forces, and attack in an all out fury of adavncing manpower. -
How Do You Use Russian Tactics
Sunflower Farm Boy replied to Slater's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
I usually only play the Bolsheviks and the tactics I use are what made the Great Patriotic War what is was. Massive use of manpower even if most of it gets slaughtered (as long as you win the battle, who cares. One death is tragic, a million is a statistic). I go tank light on the purchases (of course depending on the terrain and time period) and load up on cheap engineer/SMG/recon groups. I also load up on support units. Keep your men under command control at all times. Works for me in PBEM battles. -
Were they anti-tank mines? Your guys can cross those without setting them off.

Differences in Recon Doctrine
Sunflower Farm Boy replied to Andreas's topic in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Could this be why? -
And no I'm not a fanboy (if you ever met me in person you'd never even think I was a gamer, but who cares). But I did vote CMBB as the game of the year. It was a tough call between Morrowind and CMBB, but the way this game grabbed me (and hasn't let me go) means something in my books. I know there's tons of others who feel the same way. So vote for CMBB at the Gamespy's 2002 Players Choice Awards And no...I'm not a fanboy.

You hit the nail dead on the head. I went to Washington DC this past summer for just such a reason. As I wandered around taking in the sights, I couldn't help but picture what it was like way back during the war of 1812 when Canadians came pouring into the American capital and burned it to the ground.

Beat yourself silly Michael. After you've finished don't forget the excitement of mailing a letter to yourself and replying. -

Each to their own, I guess....but that sounds about as exciting as watching paint dry. -
