    CMBB in Australia

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Actually I think you might be able to purchase it from Milsims in Victoria, but it would be cheaper and a better deal to buy the CMBB/CMAK bundle pack direct. :D

    Yep, Sorry Moon. $99 dollars aus.

    For that money you can buy the bundle pack direct from BFC and get the newie all home delivered.

    Support the guys who made the game... ;)

    BMP files shared for both PC & Mac in CMBB???

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Is it true? Are Mac's and PC's using the same files to generate images in CMBB? Rumour has it they are. So MODs good for PC are good for Mac?

    I started out on a Mac but have moved to the dark side. It's something I've wondered over now and then and I've just been told they both use bmp files. Can it be true? I don't think this is the case with CMBO. Will it be the case with CMAK?

    Oh dear...

    I studied German at high school for a number of years. In 1993 I visited Germany and was amazed at how grateful German people were that I even attempted to converse with them in German rather than English despite how bad my pronunciation was. So ten years later and after a few Brewski's my spelling in German, sadly as it may be, even when checked can sometimes be a little poor. So to all the German folks out there I truly do apologise. I will endeavor to ascertain the correct spelling and emphasis as required despite my sometimes intoxicated state as I try my best to answer erronious questions where I feel I can help

    No really! It's late here and usually I've had a couple after work. I don't get home till around midnight, so I gets' tired and a couple of Strongbows... well, you know...

    :rolleyes:

    Back to reality, my information comes from Antony Beevor's account from 'Berlin'. A good read but a bit of a struggle at times.

    ...oh yeah, Luger... what a slap head hey?

    Stalingrad weather (especially Nov 11/42)?

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    According to 'The Last Bid', ASL scenario Red Barricades 5, for the Red Barricades campaign game, on 11 November 1942 the environmental conditions are given as 'wet with no wind at start'. There's no mention of rain or snow. Chances are it was overcast, if not by nature then at least from all the smoke of the massive bombardment beforehand. The AAR for the battle gives the impression it stayed relatively free from adverse weather all day. I'll send the AAR email if you like...

    Normally spelling issues are best ignored, but flipping the "i" and "e" in this German word changes it from being a body guard to some kind of love unit ;)

    You want it to be "Leibstandarte".

    (Interestingly enough Google reports 548 hits for the mispelt version, versus 9280 for the correct spelling, so it seems to be a common problem for English speakers -- dratted "i before e" rule).

    This is getting off topic, but there were reportedly problems with the phrase books given to US GIs occupying Germany after the war. Getting the the vowels wrong on the phrase "Halt, oder ich schieße!" would be pretty bad. </font>

    Come on guy, I can't believe you're saying it either. :( Too many bones for you Michael and not enough ball? Yeah sure, I wanna play ball too but we want it too be right don't we? ;) You've always gotta sit through some previews at the pictures before the movie starts :D

    Pop out to the sweet shop, get yourself another choc coated-rock hard icecream, some pop corn and some jaffas, and a nice BIG fizzy sticky drink. The main feature will be starting before you know it...
