Hey perhaps we should all turn up naked???? -
Worst of the Worst in the Second World War
Lord Harmes replied to Holman's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
In Heinz Guderian's book he mentions a time when Goering was getting a bollocking from Hitler, and that he appeared to be wearing make up! Now that is just bloody scarey!!! -

Ooooh... I think I'm going to have to go there now... Never been before! -
Best of the best in the second world war
Lord Harmes replied to _Axe_'s topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
I still think the SAS is probably one of the more legendary unit that came about in WW2... here's a link http://home.hccnet.nl/22.sas/ there are many good books about the SAS, one of the best being Daggers Drawn, as it describes many of the actions they fought through personal accounts! -

No Tom Jones!

Why not.... be happy with what we've got????
Lord Harmes replied to Lord Harmes's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
Exactly the point I was making... but of course I am also gagging for more... more detail.... more units.. more countries... more battles.. campaigns!!! I just hope the game developers pay CLOSE attention to all our grumblings. If they do then I hope that CMX2 will be so good, I will be forced to burn my copies of the first three games in disgust!!! (jumping naked and screaming of course) -

True Joachim true... though whilst I see it as healthy for us players to make suggestions about the game, I prefer not to get my hopes up about anything. Afterall, if you expect nothing, then you cannot be disappointed, thus every little improvement is appreciated! -
support weapons in buildings....
Lord Harmes replied to Rabidbvr's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
Why can't we place support weapons in buildings anyway??? And why are there no motorcycles in the game???? And who keeps using up all the toilet paper and doesn't replace the roll????? -
Working your way through the walls of a series of linked building is called mouse-holing. You don't have to be in the same room as the bomb as it goes off, as you can fire it from inside the room next door. Then you could fire through the hole you just made to create a hole in the next room and so on. I belive the russians captured most of Berlin this way...

You should have asked for pounds sterling... check out the exchange rate right now! haha

I think there is a part of the book A Bridge Too Far that describes a certain para in Arnhem who was particularly successful with his PIAT... I'm pretty sure it describes how blackened and singed his face was after firing off so many shots... I must look this up!!!

Most kills by one unit???
Lord Harmes replied to Lord Harmes's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
how the hell do you get so many kills with a tank hunter team????? :confused: -
Well I know that I can get away with it. The only thing holding me back is my personal sense of responsability... oh dear god help me! Mwah ha ha haaa!

Lord Harmes replied to Lord Harmes's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
Don't worry Herr Kruger, you didn't insult me. In fact I had been thinking about the practicalities of it, and thought it would probably be a silly idea myself. I could only see it being worthwhile in a tournament or a competitively angled site. It would be good see a high level integration between sites with ladders etc, and here (the home of CM!). -

Lord Harmes replied to Lord Harmes's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
I of course realize that a Sturmtiger is an exception... so to find an infantry squad with 50 kills is amazing, and perhaps it's that sort of thing we should keep a little record on? I thought maybe saving AARs from two player games and having both players agree on them? Just a thought! -
I recently completed a CMBB PBEM in which I used the fantastic Sturmtiger. With just three shots it killed 2 guns, 2 mortars, and 52 infantry. I thought this was a fairly high score for one unit and wondered if anyone else has done significantly better? Perhaps it would be fun to keep a record of the player with the highest proven score in a battle?

I have been thinking of cheating on my home pc and installing CMAK on my work pc... the thought of this excites my very much, yet I feel so dirty!

I have two. Which is good when one gets tired.

Why not the Korean War?
Lord Harmes replied to Michael Dorosh's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
yeah well human wave is an attack tactic and russians were defending before 43 </font> -
AMEN! That would be the untimate game... but include the Spanish civil war too... it would be very very cool to do all that early stuff... or even cooler to have a super campaign and try to win the war as the germans....!!!!!!

Wouldn't be great to have had a few of the different engineering tanks put into the game??? Imagine being able to flay minefields out of existance, bridge rivers, or bulldoze trenches!!! Maybe in the next game eh?
