Maybe they spent too much money on not so seaworthy yachts instead of on improving the taste of their beverage? </font>

Yep,It's the old nickname for Britain.Was in common use during WWI & WWII. Blighty leave,Blighty wound etc.

No worries mate,I sort of knew it be a RL issue so i wasn't stressing too much.You take care now.

They certainly did that!Gave good orientation for the troops afterward.

Anyone tried this one yet?I had a go against the AI and got a tactical defeat. Spoilers * * * * * * * * * * * * * First of all,the scout cars didn't even last one turn,being taken out by PzIV's and a Tiger.After that I pretty cautiously made my way forward.I was able to take the village fairly easily enough but the tiger hung around over the other side of the map and killed 8 shermans with 3 of them being ultra-long shots,so I'll be careful of LOS when their around.I was kind of hoping it would come over to the village so I could ambush it but it stayed put.The PzIV's weren't much bother although one took out a sherman before it got hit.I think I advanced too slowly but at the time I wasn't sure if there were germans deployed forward.Good Scenario,If you can get rid of the Tiger you've got it made.

just tried the control-refresh,and would you know it,It worked! Thanks guys.

I'm having real trouble logging in.I'll do my name and password,both of which I've confirmed,and all that happens is the page refreshes.No menu,just the login screen.anyone know what I should do?I sent an e-mail to cozog about 4 days ago but no reply so far.

I had an absolute ball playing this one against the AI.Here's what I did: I followed the historical route by columns either side of the road,when i got to the trees at the bend of the road I got plastered by mortars and MG fire.heaps of pinned and panicked units.I used one tank to charge at the mg in the corner house,which surrendered. I sent as many units as I could to the stone wall on the right and they worked their way forward into the village,assaulting the dug in paras forcing a few to surrender. The boys on the left,I sent house to house and i found it was just a couple of sections(squads)that were really effective in the house to house scraps.i'm pretty sure it was the guys that didn't shake or panic in the mortar attack. The tanks quickly ran out of ammo so I just used them to charge German positions hoping they would panic or surrender.It didn't work very well,one was knocked out and the other immobilized. The rest of the battle was just a leap-frog affair with the guys on the left just clearing house by house and the blokes on the right moving their way to the big building in the middle which gave me the big objective flag. I managed to get a tacical victory with casualties and KIA's pretty even and a final score of 32%-68%.Great fun,I'll probably do what kingfish said next time and flank them.I'd love to give this a go against a human, maybe my next Pbem.

Hey,more kiwi scenarios! i'm currently having fun with chianti country,talk about an explosive first turn! BTW, book looks good,will order when funds permit!

And whatever you do,never,ever,enter the Peng Thread.It will leave you scarred for life Oh yeah,have a go at Pbem,I'm on my second game and it's a blast.Nothing like winding a human opponent up.

I say,well done chaps! :cool:

Hmmm...Toffee-nosed is a stuck-up,arrogant and usally rich,upper class English person who's nose is so far up their own arse they can see the planet Uranus,and as for Tory trout,think:elderly Republican woman.

My paternal Grandfather lied about his age and was a cook(later engineer) in 26 btn 2NZdiv.He served in Greece,Crete,North Africa,Italy(where he had his 18th Birthday)and went to Japan with the occupation forces. Also had a couple of Great-Uncles that were in 2NZ Div,One got blown up in his tank and spent the rest of his life in a mental Instiution.

You mean, like this ... Regards JonS </font>

The kiwis in the game do sound a bit "funny" tho,maybe tha voice actors have spent too long overseas?(I spent 4 years in London and came back sounding like a cockney!)

Heres are review from someone who's never played before. here

just change the BMPs. They're nos. 11001 & 11002 in the BMP folder.

I would like to be able use captured MGs etc.Its frustrating when you've got a Bren team out of ammo lying next to a captured MG34.

Ah.. I gather you dont mean my weekly visit to the Mother-in-law.

I reckon in counterattack to galatas i heard one of my boys say,"come on you bastards!"It was with a slight ozzie acker but not too bad.At least he didn't sound like Bill Lawrie(*shudder*)

Great stuff.Thanks fellas.

I was just wondering if there was a mod floating around where I can change the german Objective flag to a swastika.would the CMBB one work for CMAK?

Yeah but we get even earlier here in NZ,about an hour from now! Merry Xmas everybody! :cool:
