It wasn't before Iraq, but for the US military it is now as much a part of the gear as the clothing underneath. Even non-combat units are required to wear armored vests when not on base.

At least we have something. Do you remember the time before? Having 5 or so threads on the 1st page like "CMx2 Setting", "CMx2 & WWII", "How long until announcement?!?". I'd rather talk about modern desert warfare than go back there.

Well said

I think Steve hit the nail on the head "WWII burn out"

[**GIANT Total Redo M8 Greyhound Mod!!**]

Outstanding work as usual

[Favourite war games??]

Forgot to mention that the BEST boardgame of all time ( for the micromanager ) is Starfleet Battles.

But you HAVE to love micromanagement.

I would have to go with ASL in the board game category

[Favourite war games??]

1) CMAK

2) CMBB

3) War In The Pacific

4) Highway To The Reich

5) Close Combat V

CM gets the top spot,best investment in a entertainment sense I ever made. If I did the math I would be surprised if I have 1/10th of a cent invested per hour played over the years.

Now only if my broker would get me that kind of return on my investments

Matrix does some retail. I bought a copy of Gary Grigsby's War At War at a retail store earlier this year.

Matrix will only retail BIG movers, the cost of retail per game is crazy.

And I did not see CMAK in any store in the states upond release, so whats the deal about big retail publishers. From Battlefront that sounds weird :confused:

Some of the all time wargames come out of small publishers, CDV lets get real their LUCKY to have ya

So... in the future if our choice is between making a good deal with a German publisher and losing the Nazi stuff or going with an inferior publisher and keeping them... well... use your imagination which choice we'll make

Steve

I would go with Matrix

That way you keep the Nazi stuff and the publisher is top notch,its a no brainer

[Doodads?]

Originally posted by Pvt. Ryan:

My guess is the new graphics will obviate the need for doodads as we know them. Maybe grass will be represented 1:1.

I think Steve thouched on the subject of doodads in the "A little bit about buildings" thread.

[A little bit about buildings]

Thanks for the reply Steve

[Night Combat for CMx2?]

"whose stars are you using?"

LOL

[Buildings/Structures]

Curious on how abstract CMX2 will be modeling structures.

Will we see

1)Basements

2)Stairwells

3)Objects such as furniture

4)Outdoor Objects such as lamp posts

5)Separate textures for indoors

How will we view indoors in a occupied structure

1)Cut away or transparent

2)Will we be able to remove roofs and walls from view

sorry if any of this has been covered in a previous thread

Best new release or Best of all time

Best WWII RTS

1) Highway to the Reich

*2) CC series

* A close runner up (just because of graphics)

the Armor was a joke in the CC series

Wow look at the art in the screen shots, any game that looks that good must be the most realistic RTS ever, I read it on the forums so it must be true

Turns out that the blast from firing the main weapon burns off the front tire. They're working on that.

[**FOUR PzIII J mods for CMAK ONLY!!**]

I have toadmit, though, that ´Heroes: Soldiers of World War 2´ (aka ´Outfront´) REALLY impressed me. I´ve not yet managed to play every campaign and single mission (the UK campaign IS hard, after all), but it´s definitely a game worth a look - if just for playing not yet another RTS... and, maybe, the once called ´Wartime Command´ might prove to be an entertaining alternative. I have hope.

About a year ago over at that publisher's forums there was a mass BANNING . If CM came up in a thread it was LOCKED down, think the guy was calling him self Zzzzzz or something. Anyway if you remember back to the Flash Point release days and TOTAL lack of any support and BANNING of anyone that dared to ask a real question on the forums.

That is the most immature forum's I had ever seen.
