Servus,
no, Other Means, unfortunately I haven't. But I can be pretty amazing sometimes.
Ok I guess I'll have to look into this *yuck* PbeM thing a bit more. I 'd be glad about any heads up you guys could give me.
Not hoping that much anymore.

Servus,
did I get this right, that there is no Tcp/IP online WeGo? Only PbeM. I have always played all CMs with my buddy over Tcp/IP. Don't give me realtime crap. Panicking again. Sorry.
I kinda see the sense behind this, correct me if I'm wrong: Wego only sends packages at the end of a round via Tcp/IP, so this could well be changed to PbeM. But is the PbeM system automated enough, that I don't have to exit the game, load the new PbeM file etc. To rephrase it: Can I play a battle with my buddy conveniently and in one big session as we are wont to do?
I have to admit, I never played beM.
Hoping.

I remember seeing some of these sketches, or at least similar looking ones, in the stuff my grandfather left me. Obviously they were just prints handed out to soldiers. Are they still worth anything in the U.S.? Contrary to the originals, which of course 'd bring a small fortune.
Btw, I happen to own a copy of " Die Wehrmacht " printed in 1941. Anyone interested? It's propaganda material, depicting every german battle as a great victory. Wonder what's that worth in the U.S.?

Ok I know what this double layer thing is. The NASA still uses double layered armour against mini-meteor hits in space, but you can't expect to survive even little time in a fight. Am I wrong? I have no military training at all. This CM thing is just a hobby of mine. But it still seems utter madness to me,cowering behind one of these PAKs and not be scared sh$&less. My 2 cents, not that they are on topic.
-
no matter how thin it is, it is ridiculous sitting behind THAT thing and hoping to survive. These shields were no good at keeping you alive, were they?

thx gents

Could somebody plz post the PBEM file in version 1.03. too dumb to convert!

I don't get it!
Does this mean you were below his rank. If you were below you should salute, shouldn't you?Originally posted by Treeburst155:I once saluted a Command Sargeant Major. Boy, did he read me the riot act! I was BSing with my buddies, not paying attention, when the battalion CSM walked by dripping with polished brass and medals in his dress greens. His sudden appearance startled me, and I didn't see the stripes, just the medals and brass. I figured it was a field grade officer, and snapped him my best salute. That following Sunday I found myself mopping floors in battalion headquarters.
BTW, he would salute 2nd Lieutenants; but not even Captains tried to tell him what to do. He answered to the Battalion commander only.
I know that 2nd Lieutenants are above as captains are. Do you mean he was an NCO with much experience and respect? Why shouldn't you salute him anyway?

One more just to become a member. (Again impressing my CM mate)

Thx guys! Very exact clarification on my topic! I wonder what JasonC is doing. Are you a history professor? You're profile says research analyst. Can't really put that into context. Is this war thing just a hobby of yours? It is incredibly sophisticated, I am thouroughly impressed. You surely improved my tactical CM abilities a great deal! Thx to the other forumists as well, I've learned a lot! I will be back with more stupid questions which I'm kinda too lazy to research for myself. It's much more fun in here thx
-
Oh you did, äh Entschuldigung
-
Would you please answer my questions! I started the topic!
-
So a commission can be compared to an initiation into knighthood, as JasonC refered to the medieval traditions in the U.S. Army. I can hardly believe that these traditions are so long lived, especially as there never was knighthood in the U.S.

This is much more fun than studying English at University. NOT GOOD. Might even eventually become a grog
-
As we are already involved in this topic: What does S1, S2, S3 mean? Are they staff sergeants for the CO?
-
Ah excellent replies thx as i have expected. So that means to become a comissioned officer you'd have to have gone to some college like West Point to be able to start as a lieutenant and rise in military hierarchy, whereas enlisted men who have done some great deed could only be promoted to master sergeant or Oberfeldwebel.
OK I was just wondering if Richard Winters had a commission and was about to contradict you, but I looked it up in BoB and he was at the start of the American involvement into the war a "newly commissioned graduate of OCS, [...] 2nd Lts. Dick Winters from Pennsylvania. Thx for the clarification. Something to impress my CM mate with. We have been arguing about this for ages!

Dear Major Grog,
I have been playing this game now for quite some time. I have read a lot about WWII and I have watched BoB. But I still don't quite understand what non-committed officers are. I'm german and I know what to commit means. I think non-committed officers are not put into direct combat as not to risk them becoming casualties. But what strikes me, if I understood it correctly, is that every platoon has several NCO's and CO's, although the only non-committed officer should be the platoon leader, delegating dangerous tasks to his inferiors. I would be greatly obliged to you for any clarification on the topic.
Yours sincerely
Private Gross
(being aware of the stupid meaning of gross in English but means big or great in German)

Russian Arty was way superior to german arty in numbers to late war german arty but they were not as responsive. So those preplanned barrages the russians did, do seem reasonable to me. They were just slow to react to new threats and thats in the game e.g. the slow zeroing in etc...

But we still want a somewhat balanced game, don't we

darn I knew it was a stupid question!
THX anyway

Hi Gents!
Another stupid question by me. I got the CDV (european) version of cmbb. Since lots of you people think die Waffen SS troops are better equipped, more firepower and stuff, i'd like to know how to get them. My guess is that they are named WG in the european version, because it's not allowed to show swastikas and other nazi stuff in games, newspapers, whatever in germany. Am I right?
By the way it's Deutschland, whenever there's an s an an h there's gotta be a c in between. Sorry for being a smart ass.

UNBELIEVABLE

Yes, exactly! As mike8g (thx) told me the dunkelgrau camos are only in use until Feb 43. Mar 43 already uses the dunkelgelb camo.
Panic has me in its tight grip! No WeGo Tcp/IP

Servus,
Yea Blackcat, I can see the trend going towards RTS as well. But, and this is a BIG but: WeGo was what always defined CM for me! It was the last platoon of brave and courageous men, facing the onslaught of the economical forces... I am not angry. I am very dissapointed.
Still wish BF luck and great revenue from their product. I think CM just died on me there.
and I don't expect a reply from you, with your allowance and all... gg
