Hey fellow newbie Don't mean to be a critical, daft, old git, but as a newbie aren't you being a bit rude for your first post? Sorry to hassle, just a bit bored waiting for my version to arrive. Tom

I kinda guessed that it would be thought of as cherry picking, but surely an player worth playing would want to try and stick to historical accuracy at least the majority of the time? In Operation Market Garden I'm sure I've read that along Hell's Highway and around Nijmegen there were British tanks fighting along side American paras on numerous occasions. I know it was partley because paras rarely take tanks with them and also the problems with the single road etc. so surely thats historical? (On re-reading that it doesn't really make sense, nevermind) But anyway thanks again, it shows how realistic CM is, in that on the demo on many of my practice games I have trouble with MG42s jamming. Isn't this game good. Counting the days until it arrives. Cheers Tom

I think though, I've seen on this forum somewhere that mixing nations is gamey? If so why? Also yet another question for people who know their technical stuff: From what I've read in several books it appears that the Germans only seemed to put the MG34 in their tanks/vehicles and not the MG42. Is this true? and again if so why? Thanks for time and help Tom :confused:

Great thanks Dandelion, I guess that was one of the many reasons I lost. I will learn. Tom

Thanks fellas, so basically those tanks just have thicker armour. Few more though that just occured to me: 4. How easy is the scenario editor to use? 5. Is it possible to put more than one nation for the Allies (like have Polish Inf and American Tanks for example)? 6. Had a very quick go on a mate's version of CMBO and got my ass kicked as Allies on 2000pt game. what I was wondering is was it worth spending that bit more for armoured cars as scouts or just go with cheapo jeeps? Could just wait for the two weeks it'll take for the game to get to me and read the mannual but I'm afraid I just can't wait. Ta Tom

Hey guys Just a few quick questions about CMBO, which I should hopefully recieve soon. I think I have seen the answers to some of these questions somewhere on the forum but can't seem to find them now. 1. What are the differences between a normal Sherman M4A3, a Sherman Jumbo and one of thise Sherman 8 things? 2. What is this Peng thing all about on the Forums? 3. What is VT artillery? I've probably got a few more but I can't think of them now. Sorry if these are dumb. Thanks for your time Tom

Allies: As many have said, Churchill because it really does look like a tank should, (in my opinion). It's big bulky and got good armour. However, do have a odd soft spot for the Comwell. Axis: Obvious I know but the Panther, just an all round damn good tank. Regards Tom

Hey guys. Damn this looks like a good game! I have jus got my brother to order this great game for me. I've wanted it for quite a while but am a poor student and so have been playing the demo lots. Just thought I'd say hey. Counting the days Tom
