  1. I'm wondering if you can update the CMC map during the game. Then, instead of having gamey situations, you could get your recce element to tell you your map is only so much percent correct and then corrects it for you, taking into consideration what it's observational skills are, etc That's probably asking for too much this release,but you never know
  2. I wouldn't mind something similar to the OCS boardgames from The Gamers, where you're given supply points(SP) and it's up to the player to use truck/rail units and get them within "throw range" of their fighting units by setting up dumps etc. Every time a unit wants to move or fight,it expends SP.
  3. I received an email this morning(thanks _UXcva) telling me that the wrong main screen file had been included.It's been in there a year or so and I never checked to see if it was correct or not(lesson learned ). I've corrected this mistake and it will now look as advertised: Grab it from the usual place : CMMods [ October 20, 2005, 02:43 AM: Message edited by: Pinetree ]
  4. Why not do what Matrix does and have a registration code that you have to use for patches as well.It may not stop people pirating the game but it stops people who have copies only from having the patches.WiTP is a good example of this,you can get a copy easily enough but none of the "cracked" patches work.
  5. Okay,here's my 5 wishes: 1)Better road movement. 2)Ability to scrounge for weapons and ammo plus use captured weapons(maybe with a penalty or sumfink ). 3)Entire game movie playback. 4)Allow images of real maps to be pasted into the map editor so you can trace over them with the map tools(HTTR does this pretty well). 5)More varied Victory Conditions.
  6. I really like the Silent Hunter 3 free look camera,it's very intuitive and very easy to use.Why not something like that?
  7. If it's any help,Hastings in Overlord mentions Hollis firing a sten-gun as he attacked a pillbox.He also unhelpfully mentions that Hollis was firing a bren from the landing ship as they were going in, .
  8. Also check out the National Army Museum in Chelsea.When I was there in '98 it had a huge diorama of Waterloo with lights to highlight various phases of the battle.very cool.
  9. Same here,I'm currently playing the Rainbow Six 3 campaign;trying to get into Highway to the Reich but just haven't found the time or been in the mood;I'm also playing the Starshatter campaign;mucking around with various flight sims(LOMAC,IL2,EAW),or was but my M$ precision pro joystick seems to have died.But my gaming time has been reduced as I'm working 60 hours a week over the holidays and I recently got a new girlfriend.

  11. Don't yer just hate friggin spammers?
  12. Try Counterattack at Petrano, I'm playing it now and it's a blast.
  13. You obviously haven't seen Winecape's "unleashed" version.
  14. Yep,I saw it yesterday, but it's not doing it anymore
  15. Good comment,applies to Kiwis and Aussies as well,just read a good book recently that dispelled the myth that the ANZAC troops in WW1 were natural fighters, blah ,blah and that we learnt the hard way.But the book did rate Gen. Currie and the Canadian Corps highly. edit: the book: The ANZAC Experience by Christopher Pugsley.
  16. Maybe you guys should have a thread each,It'll be interesting to see the comparisons
  17. Thats easily done,paintshop pro is a wonderous tool.
  18. I could get rid of those buttons for you if you like,similar to what I did here
