What, you mean yours doesn't? :confused:

Resolved: Computer Select is Better
Lumbergh replied to PeterX's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
What are you smoking? Since when is thinking "outside the box" represented by "a company of SMG infantry and 10 scout cars in open terrain against hordes of PZ-IIs"? Plausible is not necessarially playable. You could have a plausible 1944 force mix and have a understrength German infantry battalion up against a Soviet Tank Army. -
The "Fortified Goose Egg"
Lumbergh replied to jbertles's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
You should hotseat yourself. It's a bit of a wank but it is better than playing the AI in an ME. Especially with a big map and lots of toys. -

Alternative View of T34 Armor Resistance
Lumbergh replied to rexford's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Bump. For the love of V-Notch Charpy impact resistance, bump. -
Yes but casba has a much cooler melon associated with IT.

Glantz's conclusions on Kursk
Lumbergh replied to redhead's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
I dunno - makes perfect sense to me. I've always found Keegan very readable, but a little ... umm ... lightweight? Superficial? Something. Regards JonS </font> -
And we thought *we* had an addiction!!
Lumbergh replied to MG-42's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Wow, were they riding on an Su-100?? Still, look at the pictures of the "hand to hand combat"...looks like a bunch of guys playing nerf-wars. -
Are captured soldiers "human shields"???
Lumbergh replied to bbaker's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Captured soldiers? What are those? You must not be playing enough Stalingrad battles. -
Ok, well, you clearly want to have your cake and eat it too. IF you want historical accuracy, then you play a historical scenario. Bam, there it is, pure and simple. If you play a QB and wish to limit yourself to more realistic units, then find an opponent who will agree to play under your rules. Why not say "nothing over 25% rarity"? If you play a QB against a random schmo, yes, of course they are going to pick a KV-1, they want to win! As an aside, I don't see why you are anti-scenario. The best 2p experiences I've had have been scenarios...they allow the designers to introduce problems that would never crop up in a QB. Each unto their own though!

RRRRRrrrrrraaaaaaahhhhhhhhHHHH!!
Lumbergh replied to Hortlund's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Well technically nothing's gone off the old drive--you just broke the mechanism of getting it off of the platter. You should be able to retrieve the data, if you spend some money. A pain, but better than a corrupted disk (like the aforementioned IBM Deathstar ). -
Panther VD 75/70 super tank
Lumbergh replied to GaryC's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
They couldn't. The Panther is a nasty, nasty opponent at range. It has very heavy frontal armor, good optics and an excellent gun with high rates of fire. -
I should know this -- Churchill Croc
Lumbergh replied to Louie the Toad's topic in Combat Mission - Tips and Tricks
Just met a 251/16 for the first time (I think, FOW is tough). :mad: :mad: :mad: Absolutely OBLITERATED a tank-hunter team in a light building. That and the platoon of PZ-IVs and MG-34hmg firing on it. -
SPOILER Thanks.

Does this op run better on a mac? I've got a hunch.....

Ok could someone answer this...?
Lumbergh replied to Sublime's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
...depends on how much propellant you got too buddy! -
Arty Preplanned fire question
Lumbergh replied to MrSpkr's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Especially with the AI playing the Soviets. It will probably drop all 15 barrages on itself on turn one and surrender on turn 2. -
You need some sort of link in your signature since you keep making me thirsty! I'd guess that you could probably convert half of the non-French forum types to SA wine...of course, BFC might put the kibbosh on selling wine on their website, but you could always send them "incentive" in the post....

Verrry interesting Matt, thanks for the post! -
Top Ten Reasons Artillery is Poorly Modelled
Lumbergh replied to X-00's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Slide rule haters, of course. Every few months another one appears, talking about the wonders of the latest IBM hole-punch machine, a smaller Babbage-engine, or whatever. </font>
