[PS2 ?]

my cat however loves to use the keyboard and watch the action with the back of his head, while staring into my nose

LOL!!Thats exactly what mine does.He also likes to swat at the figures on the screen.

[Brit/Com Infantry Assault - pathetic!]

What unit are you in Pinetree? (WnHB here, formerly 16Fd)

Ex-RFCS,Will be joining HB Coy as soon as I get a couple of ops done.So maybe in 2 years! (Damn public health service).

[Afrika Korps Australian Relese Date]

You've really got no worries,mine arrived here in NZ safe and sound.And if,by bad luck,it gets lost in the mail, BFC will send you another one for free.

[Brit/Com Infantry Assault - pathetic!]

Standard Battle Drill was for the Bren Group to provide cover fire (while prone) while the Rifle Group did a right or left flanking.

Things haven't changed much in 60 years then,thats what we're still taught today(although it's a C9 not a bren)

[Contour Lines Desparately Needed]

Yep I meant 2).Real-time would be nice tho' but thats just chrome.

[Contour Lines Desparately Needed]

Back OT: contour lines would be cool and real-time shading would be nice.Even if just for the cosmetics.

[Contour Lines Desparately Needed]

Some of us play wargames because we enjoy them. If you play wargames to torture yourself, feel free. Just don't expect the rest of us to do so.

Damn straight.CM is just a brilliant computerized

table-top wargame,nothing else.Some people take it WAAAYY too seriously.Perhaps they need to get out more.

[Best of the best in the second world war]

Capt.Charlie Upham,the only combat soldier to win the VC twice.

[Worst of the Worst in the Second World War]

Mussolini.

Pitiful really.

[why not ATLCTNBTMAGA?]

dont u know youre not really a member here until seanachai or 1 of the pengers gives you a roasting.also notice how he doesnt have to swear while hes doing it.

[Why not a dicussion about Mods ?]

Here's something sick,how about a gore mod?Have bits of bodies lying around and if a vehicle's a flamer have couple of crispy critters.

[Any Recent Mods At CMMODS]

I have the same problems as well.Something to do with IE.click on "previous page" and you should get the new ones.

[What do we want in the next Combat Mission game]

I'm not being nasty,but could you please use proper punctuation and start your sentences with capitals?It would make you so much easier to read.

Thats the whole point of this thread,as just about everyone plays with FOW.How about you stop trolling?

So does this mean "no claymores"?

Not necessarily. As I recall, there was a Scottish commander of Commandos (forget his name at the moment) who always went into battle swinging one. The original kind of course: a BIG basket hilt sword.

[Help with CMAK demo]

I pre-ordered mine before it was released so I can't really tell you,however when I ordered Tacops from Battlefront,it took about 2 weeks.

[Help with CMAK demo]

I ordered mine thru Battlefront and it arrived here in NZ safe and sound.India should be OK too.I haven't heard of any one's copy getting lost.

[What do we want in the next Combat Mission game]

Hopefully we'll also be able to capture and then use enemy weapons and vehicles, but perhaps with penalties, á la ASL,

I think the ability to look over the next hill and work out the ideal route of advance tree clump by tree clump, is one of the least realistic parts of the game.

You are right, but there's no easy solution to this problem. Besides, there are crazies extant who want even more information, i.e., to be able to check LOS from points on the map where they don't even have units yet! Go figure...

[Damn this game]

I think we peaked a week prior with the game against the All Blacks.

I wish you would've peaked the week BEFORE you played the All Blacks.

[Damn this game]

Having stood on The Nek and looked across at Chunuk Bair, I feel a certain closeness to you guys and I think the mutual jibes mark our respect for each other

I was there for Anzac Day '99.As i walked up Shrapnel Valley and onto Quinn's Post,I felt nothing but awe for the original Anzacs.At the piss-up afterwards at the Vegemite Bar in Eceabat I felt a certain closeness with you bloody aussies as well(esp. a certain brunette from Melbourne, but i digress ).You're all a bunch of alcloholic convicts but good fun to be around. And yers can play a mean game of rugger as well. :cool:

[Damn this game]

Nope,it was an Aussie boat,OneAustralia or somefink like that,sunk in about 30 seconds flat.A bit scary at the time,rather humourous afterwards.

Isn't funny how everytime someone gets our two nationalities mixed up on these forums,the Anzacs are quick to correct the poor fella and even quicker at start hurling insults at each other.
