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.Originally posted by BulletRat:I dunno about the rest of you guys but I burn a backup and use that to play off - keep the original in mint condition. (Just something I do with all me games.)
As for piracy, hey, it's only illegal if you get caught.

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.

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.

Could this be why?Originally posted by Michael emrys:When Allied recon units are mentioned in accounts, it is usually in passing. Not much space is devoted to them, and nothing to their methodology of operating.

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.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you say earlier that you were PBEM'ing the game vs. yourself, so wouldn't that make you the lazy one? I'm starting to get the sense of some underlying schizophrenia here.Originally posted by Michael Dorosh:So how many of you had multiple PBEM games going on when the patch came out, and had opponents who never sent you turns unless you were the one who converted the file?
Any thoughts on that?

Sssshhh....I don't want to have to go back to work just yet....

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.History for me comes alive when you enjoy walking the same ground and imagining what it was like...

What do BF's chairs smell like?

Now you're talking! I'll PBEM you anyday of the week. Actually our game may take a few weeks the shape we'll be in!Sit down at your computer with a shot glass and a big ole bottle of your fav liquor. [ed. note: throw in a bongload of fresh NL#5]. Get absolutely ****faced and fire up CMBB/CMBO...

Bitchy moaning players.What are the BMPs?

Beat yourself silly Michael. After you've finished don't forget the excitement of mailing a letter to yourself and replying.Or living on a sunflower farm...

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

The Russians are now saying that every thing the Communists told them about communism was a lie, but everything they said about Capitalism was true.

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.
