    Speculation on game style, plus will teams become unbalanced towards the end

    Hunter,

    Will fuel be an issue for a cut off ME? How will that play out in the CMBB battle?

    It will certainly be an issue. Generally fuel is used up after about 4 hrs of moving. This could be a hundred Kilometres or 1, depending on whether you are using a road and travelling, or advancing on the enemy through a muddy bog.

    Vehicles without fuel cannot move, and are at high risk of being abandoned.

    The fist maybe good at killing. But what if the fist then takes square 2 in the above example and the Allies take 4, 5, and 6. Line of Comm, line o supply are cut. The big question is how long (in CMC turns) can a cut off ME can continue to move? The ammo issue for supply is handled will be easy to see.

    How the POL supply issue is handled will be interesting - because POL is not taken into account in CMBB.

    I would love to see an AAR or 2 of this game to see how it plays out.

    Will it be the fist of death as Jason talks about plowing along.

    Or somethink like Recc forces engaging. Then more and more MEs join the battle. With some of them adding to the center of the battle. And some MEs extending the flanks to prevent a surround/pincher type envelopment battle.

    Then one or both sides form the fist of death, with concentrated armor, to be used for the knock out punch.

    I think a fist of death without secure flanks could result in that group being cut off. CMBB has never taken fuel into account.

    Also I'd assume in order to resupply a ME that would need some time (a CMC turn or two) out of the firing line. So if this fist was continusously engaged they cound not get gas or bullets. Pulling an ME or two back for resupply while several other ME in the stack remain engaged could be tricky.

    Bottom line: Show us an AAR in any stage of game development would answer many of the questions on tactics in this thread.

    isn't there anything new?

    CMC is not a true campaign battle. It's divisional operations-only. But I'd bet with a fast machine it can be stretched to a corps level game.

    For a true campaign game we are waiting for the tie-in between CMC and SC2. Then we can go from whole war to platoon level in 3 easy clicks of the mouse.

    I was once standing right by a highway when a tumbleweed rolled across into the path of an oncoming bus.

    It was utterly obliterated - just snapped out of existence completely... quite chilling at the time.

    SS Bashing

    in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin

    Posted

    Runyan99 very good points.

    So whether the SS were born evil or became evil in a culture of evil they were and did despicable acts. There can be no denial that by 1945 they were indeed evil. It’s just a mind game trying to determine its root cause. Why should any group that did such evil acts be defended in any way? Rationalization and justification are like masturbation. The only person getting ****ed is your self.

    And to take it to another level, if in the next 10 years Iran does develop nukes and pops a few over Israel, then like the 20's/30’s the world will have failed to stop them, just as the world failed to stop Hitler and his culture that bred Nazism and the holocaust. Is not the president of Iran’s rhetoric like the Nazi rhetoric and the book Mien Kampf? Or is it just harmless talk? That’s the determination the good world must make and the action they must take or not take...

    Stage 1. Denial

    We deny that the loss has occurred.

    We ignore the signs of the loss.

    We begin to use:

    Magical thinking believing by magic this loss will go away

    Excessive fantasy believing nothing is wrong; this loss is just imagined; when I wake up everything will be OK.

    Regression believing that if we act childlike and want others to reassure us that nothing is wrong.

    Withdrawal believing we can avoid facing the loss and avoid those people who confront us with the truth.

    Rejection believing we can reject the truth and those who bring us the news of our loss to avoid facing the loss.

    Stage 2. Bargaining

    We bargain or strike a deal with God, ourselves

    We bargain or strike a deal with God, ourselves, or others to make the loss go away

    We bargain or strike a deal with God, ourselves, or others to make the loss go away.

    We promise to do anything to make this loss go away.

    We agree to take extreme measures in order to make this loss disappear.

    We lack confidence in our attempts to deal with the loss, looking elsewhere for answers.

    We begin to:

    Shop around believing we look for the ``right'' agent with the ``cure'' for our loss.

    Gamble believing we can take chances on ``cures'' for our loss.

    Take risks believing we can put ourselves in jeopardy financially, emotionally, and physically to get to an answer or ``cure'' for our loss.

    Sacrifice believing in our pursuit of a ``cure'' to change the loss we can ignore our real needs.

    Stage 3. Anger

    We become angry with God, with ourselves, or with others over our loss.

    We become outraged and incensed over the steps that must be taken to overcome our loss.

    We pick out ``scapegoats'' on which to vent our anger, e.g., the doctors, hospitals, clerks, helping agencies, rehabilitation specialists, etc.

    We begin to use:

    Self-blaming believing we should blame ourselves for this loss.

    Switching blame believing we should blame others for this loss.

    Blaming the victim believing we should blame the victim for leaving us.

    Aggressive anger believing we have a right to vent our blame and rage aggressively on the closest target.

    Resentment believing our hurt and pain is justified to turn into resentment toward involved in our loss event including the victim.

    Anger is a normal stage. It must be expressed and resolved; if it is suppressed and held in, it will become "Anger in" leading to a maladaptive condition of depression that drains our emotional energy.

    Stage 4. Despair

    We become overwhelmed by the anguish, pain, and hurt of our loss; we are thrown into the depths of our emotional response.

    We can begin to have uncontrollable spells of crying, sobbing, and weeping.

    We can begin to go into spells of deep silence, morose thinking, and deep melancholy.

    We can begin to experience:

    Guilt believing we are responsible for our loss.

    Remorse believing we should feel sorry for our real or perceived ``bad past,'' deeds for which this loss is some form of retribution or punishment.

    Loss of hope believing that because the news of our loss becomes so overwhelming that we have no hope of being able to return to the calm and order our life held prior to the loss.

    Loss of faith and trust believing that because of this loss we can no longer trust our belief in the goodness and mercy of God and mankind.

    We need support to assist us in gaining the objectivity to reframe and regroup our lives. If we are not able to work through our despair, we risk experiencing events such as mental illness, divorce/separation, suicide, inability to cope with the aftermath of our loss, rejection of the family member who has experienced the loss, and detachment, poor bonding, or unhealthy interaction with the parties involved in our loss.

    Stage 5. Acceptance

    We begin to reach a level of awareness and understanding of the nature of our loss.

    We can now:

    describe the terms and conditions involved in our loss.

    fully describe the risks and limitations involved in the treatment or rehabilitation for the loss involved.

    cope with our loss.

    test the concepts and alternatives available to us in dealing with this loss.

    handle the information surrounding this loss in a more appropriate way.

    We begin to use:

    Rational thinking believing we are able to refute our irrational beliefs or fantasy thinking in order to address our loss from a rational perspective.

    Adaptive behavior believing we can begin to adjust our lives to incorporate the changes necessary after our loss.

    Appropriate emotion believing we begin to express our emotional responses freely and are better able to verbalize the pain, hurt, and suffering we have experienced.

    Patience and self-understanding believing we can recognize that it takes time to adjust to the loss and give ourselves time to ``deal'' with it. We set a realistic time frame in which to learn to cope with our changed lives.

    Self-confidence believing, as we begin to sort things out and recognize the stages of loss as natural and expected, that we gain the confidence needed for personal growth.

    We can be growing in acceptance and still experience denial, bargaining, anger, and despair.

    To come to full acceptance we need support to gain objectivity and clarity of thinking. It is often useful to gain such assistance from those who have experienced a similar loss. For example, groups of parents who have experienced the death of a child or who have had a child with a developmental disability.

    Peer support from strangers is often the best way for a person to deal with the grieving process.

    Holy sore fingers Batman. A damn **** pile of typing when you could have just said. "Waiting makes me sad." :(

    Can't start game.

    in Strategic Command Tech Support Forum

    Downloaded fine. I did a copy/paste of the license key from the email to the window, so that was correct.

    I installed it everything seemed fine. I checked the box so it starts at completion of installation. NOTHING. No Enter key popup

    Clicked the Icon again - NOTHING. I never got the window to enter the lic key screen.

    I rebooted. Clicked the icon - NOTHING.

    I opened task manager to see if the game was not responding. Nothing showing in the Apps window of Task Manager.

    I read a little of the FAQ. Some thing about eLicense Control. ....which you’ll find under “Start -> Settings -> Control Pane->eLicense Control”. Or any other other options listed.

    I don't have an >eLicense Control function on my computer.

    What to do? What to do?
