thanks so much. This helps!

Thanks again guys! Off to War!

call me crazy or blind... The only FAQ I can find is up there in the right hand corner. that brings me to the FAQ of the forum and forum rules.... Please advise! Dave

Brothers in arms... Thanks so much for the advice. I have been part of a number of different forum communities covering a number of hobbies and have yet to see a forum this active. I will indeed download the original tonight to gain a better perspective of the game. I am looking forward to the full version once pay day arrives. I m starting to see where you are going with "Tactical" - I also think that last night with the demo we started our turns from the original posistion and never really deployed (if I understand what u are saying correctly) Thanks again and talk soon! Dave

Greetings once again. Many thanks to those of you who replied to my post yesterday. I hope this email is not asking too much as I have a number of questions. Once I decide to do something (like get into CMBB, it's balls to the wall from that point forward) So.... I played the demo last night and really felt a bit confused. In my desire to find the best strategy war game I was pointed to CMBB. I read all the reviews and was totally impressed with what the gaming community was saying about this software. I even reeled in a buddy of mine down the street who I knew would really get into a night of war gaming and a bottle of canadian club. Anyway... we fired up the demo and to be honest we were a bit let down. Is the demo a different experience than the released version? I have a few questions - We both had troops turn into symbols (russian or german) What does that represent? Is there a way to get a war update? as in KIA or progress (besides the percentages) It seemed as if the maps in the demo were very small. It seemed as if we were playing on 500 acres instead of X miles. Are the maps in the released version larger? In the read me file it mentions blue and red colored areas on the map... is there a way to view a larger map other than the battlefield view itself or the small map on the command bar? I really feel as if we must have been missing something. I kept waiting to get sucked into the battle and it never happend. My first impression was "Close Combat was more fun" I understand this impression should change sooner than later. For me the $50.00 is a good chunk of change right now and I want to make sure that this is a good purchase. I see this active community darn near living and breathing CMBB - So this leads me to believe I must be missing something. Thanks again for your feedback and assistance. Dave

Greetings. I am so fired up about buying this game. 2 quick questions before I do so. 1.) I have both PC and Mac. Is one better than the other? My Mac is more than fast enough.. my PC is 900mhz. 2.) Could someone explain how the "Hot Seat" format works. Many thanks! Dave
