Corvidae

I've looked and found ziltch, a few partials, but nothing comprehensive. I already have CMMOS v4.03 it came with my copy of CMBB, and it covers CMBO and CMBB, but not CMAK, Any help would be greatly appreciated

As a matter of courtesy, If I am doing a fair impersonation of an idiot, I would want someone to point this out to me.

I'm not getting into this discussion,

I have only 1 copy, It's mine, And there is no army powerfull enough to take it from me.

Of course before you try winterizing, I suggest a flame job.

Maybe make one. During the italian campaign, a german airborn battalion took up position in an abandoned monastary that overlooked a key road the allies needed. The americans spent several days trying to dislodge them, to no avail. The british also joined the effort, and fed the meat grinder, for nothing. A segregated, coloured, brigade was sent in, and briefly took the main gate before being forced back out. And then a lost company of canadians stumbled into the staging area to ask directions. The canadian comander offered to take the monastary by noon the next day, and told the american and british comanders to gather all the alcohol in the area to the main square. That evening the canadians vanished and the americans laughed about the "scared" canuks. But befor dawn they heard the sound of a battle raging in the monastary. By 10:00 am, the fighting had stoped, and by 11:00 the canadians returned, escorting the captured survivors of the german garrison. The canadian demand for alcohol was imediately met, and the canadians shared a drunken binge with their german captives. I believe this to be a historical account,

Sergei, have you been playing C&C again? UGH! Dandelion, Sounds interesting, I would like to find more info on these luftwaffe infantry divisions,

Igor, more electricity to the brain electrodes, Igor, the monster ..... ITS ALIVE!! BWAHHH HA HA HA !!!

You could try ordering it, I think future shop still handles that. we dont even have a future shop here in the elephant's arse, i got my copy at crappy tire a few years ago, it was the only copy they ever had in stock,

Mav1, your resounding "OOPS" is duely noted 81mm. yes they are both on map and off map, and an 81mm spotter can be hard to see if he is in trees or bushes,

mav1, the elphant is bmp #s 8640 through 8655 the winter elephant is 58640 through 58655 try copying the elephant bmps to a file, add the "5" to each bmp, and start applying whites and greys, then copy the file back to the game, play test it to see whether it looks right, , if it doesnt, go back to the file and try another idea

Mav1? the 60mm mortar IS on map, and ONLY on map,,, And they are VERY highly visible

JasonC So the Panthers ( specialized medium to long range tank killers,for use in open country ) were pressed into use as general purpose tanks. And deployed at short to medium ranges in closed country? -And the shermans were designed as general purpose tanks, who did best IN closed country at short to medium ranges. -Alowing the shermans to decimate panther formations. -And because shermans were as common as dirt, they would be abandoned by their crews, for as little as a broken fan belt, because allied formations could just requesition another whole sherman to replace it, - Hence the seemingly high loss rates for shermans Please clarify that I'm actualy making sense here.

There is no such thing as THE best tank of the war. There are the best tankS of any particular class. The sherman was one of the best general purpose tanks of the war, and remained a very good infantry support tank long after it became outclassed as an anti tank weapon. Its a simple but ergonomical design that works. The sherman shares its place with the T34 and the long PzIVs as being what a general purpose tank COULD be,

mav1, no. you would have to change each pixel individualy, But honestly, a winter mod is not just a colour change, Infantry wore diferent uniforms in winter, and vehicles had whitewash applied as needed. As to your being a "crap" artist, Take a few tokes and get creative, you may be surprised at how NOT crap you can be

Could someone put together a suitable map scenario so i can instruct mistress goodale on the finer points of breaking a gunline.

You see the winter infantry. and in the box you see the cap i want them to wear,..... Any clue how to make it happen?

Speaking of mods, wanted a mod that gave early soviet infantry the boat cap,instead of a helmet, and gives soviet naval infantry the naval cap, again instead of a helmet, But its not do-able, unless someone can re code the ruleset

I dont like the M4 Sherman series myself, But only for asthetic reasons. Other than being butt ugly, it was a fairly good tank. Its greatest shortcomings were the same as any other tank of the period. Someone seems to be assuming that the high loss rates it suffered were due to being a crappy tank, Guess again,,,,,,,,, The sherman was the most common allied tank in the west, so of course its going to suffer the most losses. But proportionaly it should suffer no more losses than the Cromwell or the M3 series. The often desperate shortage of good crews meant that inadequatly trained crews were often sent out to fight, and this might account for high overall allied losses. Combine this wih the fact that most allied tanks WERE M4 shermans,,,, and you have a high loss rate for shermans. The fact is that the sherman is STILL a valid tank today, and is still deployed by many 3rd world countrys. Are Shermans particularly bad tanks? No. on average they are better than most allied tanks of the period, Are shermans designed for stand up slugging matches with high velocity tank killers? No. They are infantry support tanks that CAN be effectivly used in the AT role, WITH PROPER TACTICS.

Ah the sweet sound of late stage, syphylitic raving. Sounds like someone's drinking water comes through lead pipes.

Hullo I return after a hacker for jesus has cost me a computer. I was forced to wait a month to buy it.

Had a rather nasty and persistant virus problem due to failing to conform to the whim of a hacker for jesus, costing me a whole hard drive and main board, and the money to buy new ones, Warning, if you use yahoo chat, Beware of hackers for jesus Evzone,, i deeply appologise for not being computerized for the past few weeks

First of all, Common sense says DONT DRIVE A TRACKED VEHICLE ACROSS RAILWAY TRACKS, I may have flunked physics twice, but even I know that much, Second of all, WW2 combat vehicles were VERY unreliable by modern standards, and tanks were especialy prone to technical problems, These DO translate in CM as BOGGED and IMMOBILE.

Wrong universe, but having a blast

Oh fine, Give the little bacilus some dense forest. Anything to silence the yowling of the dense Goodale.
