Wow. Are you a quadraplegic? That's the only way I can see you having enough time for this AAR. If you aren't killed in the process, I'll send you a case of beer upon its completion.

I had a Heinkel tank buster turn the game around for me when I was playing "Borisovka Station". The enemy infantry had almost reached my infantry's positions and I had lost most of my AT assets. The Soviets still had plenty of armor left. So, I was in dire straits. That plane(planes?) came and knocked out 9 tanks, if I remember correctly. Then again, that wasn't a PBEM scenario.

I apologize if this has been mentioned or if you can actually do this with CMx1 and I just never figured it out, but I would like to be able to plot waypoints for groups of units that I have selected, not just one movement order.

Change: 1)Ditto on the formation commands. 2)"Drunk" fitness setting for Soviets(Bwahahah!I'm only half-serious about this, but they had their vodka rations...) 3)No use of identical graphics for vehicles which had considerable differences.(the PSW 233, for example) 4)Ditto on campaign system. Don't change: 5) SS hampstertruppen underwear(They get a bit bitey).

Wasn't the Gewehr 43 not produced in particularly great numbers? I suppose someone around here has some production figures. That could explain its absence. EDIT: A quick search shows production to have been approximately 400,000. So, I guess that's not the reason. [ August 26, 2005, 01:04 PM: Message edited by: Shmavis ]

I could send you the scenario file just so you'll be certain. Your choice.

That sounds like "Death Ride of the 424th".

Sent! Tom Murphy is the scenario author, by the way.

I don't know if this has been discussed, but would anyone like to have the ability to place units in a variety of formations in which they would remain(all things remaining equal) with a few mouse clicks or the push of a button? For example, would anyone care to see a "Panzerkeil"("armored wedge", for those who don't know) formation command? If this topic has been discussed to death as a feature for the next CM game, I apologize.

Crap. I just noticed the 'What if' thread on Poland. Tee-hee! People can get so veklempt on the hypothetical.

Yes, that's right, friends. Today, 66 years ago, Molotov and von Ribbentrop were toasting each other's evil empire before they split Poland and other territories. Schnapps and Vodka for everyone(not really)!

I'd recommend 'Kursk - Tigers on the Farm'. It involves fighting at the Oktyabrski collective farm. I could send you the file if you want.

Ha ha! The Soviets never disappoint.

Ahah! I never would have thought of that. Thanks!

Any minute now, a Finn should be posting a message that they were attacked first.

Is it just me, or are other players maddened by troops in halftracks being so difficult, at times, to toggle? LMG and ATR teams, for example. Maybe I'm just impatient...

Have you ever tried loading a bull pup, though? Those rear magazines are damned awkward.

Priceless. Truly priceless. Your over-reaction started all of this nonsense. I'm done with this mongo thread.

How about you set down your firebrand of truth and justice for a few minutes, take a deep, deep breath, and remember that this is just a video game(forum)? You act like you bow your head and pray every time a soldier snuffs it on CM.

Again, I think an innocent call to remember an event in history is being wildly misinterpreted and/or used as an opportunity for some forum members to shame/flame others. Calm yourselves.

Ah. It figures that they'd start functioning after I quit. I'll check out TW for now. Thanks for the offer, though!

And here it is again. A classic.

Hmmm. The links aren't functioning. I guess B&T is down right now.

Thanks, Kingfish! I remember you mentioning it in a discussion of "Der Manstein Kommt!" and wanted to give it a try. Sergei, I think von Churov's comment was simply meant to commemorate the titanic struggle that the battle of Kursk was, not to exclude anyone.

Well, aren't you just controversial? Maybe you should just stick to giving gameplay advice instead of stepping on the toes of someone who bothered to remember a little history. Kingfish, can you point me in the direction of "Tank Warning"? I can't find it at the SD. As for me, I love celebrating WW2 anniversaries. Happy Prokhorovka Day!
