General Bolt

However, comma, being a commander of a reserve inf battalion would suck, while all the cool combined arms games went to the golden boy major. I would think that fronts would be established for each of the sub unit players and action in those areas would be their responsibility.

Multiple players can do the maneuvering on the CMC map. When the fighting starts at the CMBB only one play at a time can play CMBB. I think a single play would need to play the CMBB battle even though the MEs came from two different commanders.

I bet we'd all be willing to pay $40 if they make it for Christmas. $45 by Thanksgiving.

Moon, Hunter, and All Beta Testers, How's this AAR ccoming? Will it be done by Monday? How about a clue dealing with how the games play out? On the CMC maps do the MEs tend to form defined lines? Or do the CMC battle maps have pockets of MEs roaming around bumping into each other? Are there many times when a Pz Battlion faces a inf platoon? and lopsided CMBBs? Are there many battles where once joined, the boff sides keep funneling troops in to a meat grinder? Or do the battles form and one side runs to fight another day?? Inquiring minds need to know.

I second Reichenberg guess (3,4,7,8)for the same reason - the RED box. Here's a thought: in order to have a fight both sides will need to be within the same 2km box (the red box) But as long as your units stay on their side of the red line NO battle takes place until some one crosses over. This sounds a little gamey. [lame joke on] Wasn't that a movie? The Thin Red Line [lame joke off] Also it seems like the red lines could lead to a WWI type battle quickly. Map making question: I understand how a 2x2 square map is used but it the battle crossed over red lines like the other guys guessed, the maps must all have edges that line up exactly. What if the edges don't line up?

I borrowed a few of these questions from Ceasar because they seemed important. In supplies are there are 3 catagories Bullets, Food and Petrol. How is each handled? Is there resupply between battles? Is it treated like CMBB Operations? Is Fatigue more than a matter of getting tried from running in a CMBB battle? Will the troops get tired/weakened from 10 or 15 turns of continuous marching? One request if there is any remote posibility of a CMBB up date, fuel usage/supply would need to be added. Hopefully fuel supply makes it into CMSF. Will CMSF eventually tie into CMC or CMCx2 upgrade?

Good questions. If the battle takes place in a specific CMC square. Then the fighting moves a few squares away and the following day returns to the original square. Will the battle scars be there? Will the tank hull be there? Will there be any recovery of abondoned tanks like in operations?

Any restrictions to the number of ME's allowed in to a given 2km x 2km tile? Where are the OOBs/unit selection put together in CMBB or CMC?

From the CMC site: ...Order units to entrench, be placed in tactical reserve, move out in combat formations or road march (travel move), rest and more. When a CMBB battle is started the units will be deployed in the manner they were ordered in CMC? Or will there be a "free to place units" option at the start of each CMBB battle? Ambushing: Also from the screenies there was the "be seen" mode. Will there be a "hide" order to greatly reduce the "be seen" distance. Will there be a time when a CMBB is started and one opponent has no idea why it started because he's about to be ambushed? A convoy of vehicles crusing down the highway and in the woods a band of partisians with ATRs open up. Exiting a CMBB Map: Can you exit the CMBB map and reappear on the adjecent CMC map hex?

How about once a CMBB is on going will CMC allow reinforcements?

I'd assume all the regular beta checkers are way too busy on CMSF. You're probably looking for some fresh testers. <grovel> PICK ME!!!! PLEEEEZZZEEEE!! </grovel>

I thought this topic was opening sound not music during the game. The only music I want to hear during the game is those really cool birds chirping. A few possible additions to the starting music: War Pigs - Black Sabbath Sky Pilot - Eric Burden and the Animals I second London Calling's selection: Midnight at the Oasis - Maria Muldaur

Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits US and Them - Pink Floyd Dumb All Over - Frank Zappa

The treatment of wounded can also vary by the type of scenario. In a convoy type scenrio with an ambush strike. The squads would not go chase the IED users and leave a wounded man behind. However in a general push (think Falluja) a wounded soldier could be left behind, as any unrepresented follow-up forces or medics would be just behind the forward echelon to provide care.

Followed by CM:OC Combat Mission: KT (Kill Tojo). The premise being: the atom bomb developers failed and the US must invade Japan (Operation Coronet). I read a fiction "What if" book like this once. Can't remember the name.

So, when's the demo due out??? :confused: Will Santa be bring me a copy or will the wifey be pissed on Valentines day that I'm at the computer? :confused:

Do you have a copy of this? Where can I get mine? LINK? Computers.

The premise for the 1st game is the US invades Syria to counter a coup. The premise for Module #2 will involve the French sending troops to Syria to counter the counter-coup invasion by the US of A. Module# 3 consists of the Russians countering the counter-counter coup. Module #4 has the Chinese jumping into the fray. This will be multi-player wargaming at its finest and it's gonna be good!!!

Will there be non-combatants standing around? What will the effects be on combat? If the US forces kill the civilians then they get negative points. If the Syrians kill the civilians then the US forces get negative points.

This one is asking for an account and password. For those of us not in the military; will some one with an account please share their password?

I just listened to a Rolling Stones CD and my fingers are sticky.

Are you thinking of CONTUS (Continental United States?) . </font>

Oh, is the Asia/Pacific one out now? It wasn't the last time I checked. Michael </font>

There several no flag scenarios in CMAK. The Avalon Hill Tobruk scenarios. I dont remember the exact names. Pionts are for kills only.
