I'd like to see a tool that lets you measure distance from one point to another.

Four out of five of the games or under way. I didn't get my turn from Renaud thought.

You only need one CD to play over TCP/IP.

New victim...Originally posted by Kingfish:It sucks to have to replace a player, and it's 10x as bad when its someone like JK. I hope the furniture sale nets you a nice chunk of change, and allows you to purchase a rig that is CMx2 capable.
Yacinator,
We'll get you someone by tonight. Keep the setup you sent John.
Red Robin,
I have not yet. I want to get the player's files out first. I am shooting for getting all the files sent out by this evening.
-
Sucks that you can't play John. BTW Kingfish what's my new opponents email?
-
Duh, I couldn't see Wet Triangle in the start a new game screen cause I didn't have the latest patch!
-
How do I start the game? What folder do I load the .cme file I got into? I tried the scenario and saved games folder but I don't see the scenario in the start a game screen. Please help.
I tried it with both the files that I got.

ROW5 is probably gonna be better than the superbowl.
-
Thanks for the info Steve. I thought that they all just quit the turney 'cauese they were so afraid of me.
-
JPS, John Kettler and Renaud didn't respond to my comm check. With the first files going out this weekend should I be worried? I know that you have problems with finding a comp John, but do you think that you will be able to find one by the time ROW 5 starts?

Everyone in group one can just lay down thier guns.

IIRC two were completed before the end of the war. I'm not sure if they saw any combat, though.Originally posted by rommel42:Even though it wasn't completed they should have added the Panzer Maus. It has a 128mm gun in a turret and over 9 inches of frontal armour. It also goes 12mph!

It's been more almost three days since the signups started and there are still places left. I thought that all the places would be taken up on the first day.Originally posted by Kingfish:Actually, I'm not putting anyone anywhere. Cpl Carrot has added a neat organizer feature that randomly places the players into 6-man sections. I will tweak it a little to ensure we have good balance in each section, but for the most part what the program spits out is what you get.
BTW, we are at 70 players. I need 72 + at least 10 reserves. Otherwise, we are looking at a 54 player (3 groups of 3 6-man sections) tourney with the remaining in reserves.

Actually, the French introduced the machinegun in that war, but it didn't prevent their defeat. </font>Originally posted by klapton:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by Joachim:

Very intresting point. I disagree that small arms don't win battles, I think that if all other things being equal the side with a higher ROF will win and if one side has more men the odds will be evened. I agree that the attrition would increase for the Russian and decrease for the Germans, but I'm not sure if it would be enough to have any significant effect on the outcome of the war. Maybe if you could come up with some numbers that would help to clarfiy that? As to the Civil War example if every Johnnie Reb had an AK the South would have won. It would literally be like firing an MG into a crowd that can only fire back only 3 times a minute resulting with horrendous casualties for the North and almost none for the South. That kind of attrition would be enough to win a war. BTW by Stg42 I meant Stg44.Originally posted by Leopard_2:I just lost a lengthy post to a browser hickup... :-(
I'd say it's the other way around. Small arms don't win battles, but they might tip the scales just that crucial bit. If every encounter would have cost the Russians two men more than it did, and the Germans two less, would that additional attrition - constantly applied over many months - have given them that little more momentum it would have taken to capture all of Stalingrad, including the west bank of the Wolga? Would not having a beachhead have cost the Russians so dearly that the Germans could have swung around the tide again?
(No, I don't want to discuss that particular example; I just used it to show how minor cause, over time, could result in major effect.)
I think that's why it's so hard to picture. It's easy to imagine how, if Germany had Panthers in 1941, they could have wiped out the Russian tanks. It's easy to imagine how Fw190's could have turned the Battle over Britain. But a Stg42 in 1939 wouldn't have had any super-uber-devastating effect. Just a trickle, a constant additional bias in losses.
I think it could have had a major effect.

What was the impact of small arms on WW2? Like if every German soldier had a Stg42 at the war's outbreak would Germany have won? What about Stalingrad, if every German had a Stg42 would they have won? I think that small arms have impact on battles but not wars. Discuss.

I'd be a paratrooper. Either American, Brit or German. Probably German 'cause their guns kicked ass. I'd use a Fallschirmjägergewehr 42. Not that I support the cause for which they served, they just seem the kewlest.

Do you have any idea when the tourne will start Kingfish?

OK.

Yay, I just enlisted.
I got TWO confirmation emails. Check if I didn't accidentaly enlist twice Kinfish.
Gamey? Deception via PBEM email text
in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
Posted
Saying that misleading your pbem opponent is gamey is like saying that that whole DDay thing with fake divisions etc is gamey. Gamey means that you're doing something that would have never been done in real life. I'm not a grog but it's obvious to me that deception has been used in real life.
