Used to be a real timer. Not any more. Death comes too sudden. Getting used to Wego. I like it. Maybe for tiny scenarios I will go back to RT.
-
It works great. Gotta go. See ya. I'll come up for air sometime Sunday night.
-
I told you guys not to include a scenario to kill Kim Jong.
-
Could you re-skin the current low wall to look like them?
Stop the presses!
...sorry couldn't resist,

Maybe we will see the Italian Waffen 29th. There were very few German Waffen SS in Italy.
-
Maybe rhe next thing is the poor house. I just added up all of my CMx2 purchase costs, $562.00 including shipping. I do own them all but it builds up quickly. It's just a hobby, dear. Honest.
Bah that's not even a season's green fees. Which is why I don't golf, or surf. There are more expensive hobbies.
I say bring on CM:TTT as in Twilight 2020. Make the T-90's you have now more dented, rusted and battleworn, have the squadies in torn jeans and mixed military garb, the terrain arid and broken. We are good to go.

It would probably make a good training aid to display maneuvers on a big screen. They used to use miniatures and dioramas years ago for the same.

Just got this for my 10 inch quad core acer. Its a great way to get my CM fix when travelling light. Noticed there are beach scenarios with landing craft eye candy and beach horizons. Any chance we can get this in the Normandy PC game editor?
-
Oh you can still have relative calculations for each entity, it just means the scale of battle may go back to a platoon level scale. Hey maybe even controlling individual soldiers with a couple vehicles. Now that would be a game to fill a genre niche in a bit of a dry spell right now.

About to buy Combat mission game and I'm torn between Red thunder and Fortress Italy, I was hoping for some input from you guys, what you like, dislike, pros and cons.
thanks.
Yes... only IF you include Gustav line with it, then it is the best. Winter snow, or bright Summer seasons. Falschirmjaegers, recoilless rifles. Italians are interesting to play. Very bright, yet slightly arid terrain appearance. I found the scenarios very well done.
The era is light in handheld infantry AT weapons, that could be con if you like pz Fausts lets say. The Sherman rules at this time, but the mark 4 overtakes it at longer range.
-
I would like to see an intense use of ground shadow effects to reveal elevation changes and ground contour. Ofcourse no battles could be created to take place at high noon, so no OK corral.

The fanbase for CC came pretty close to killing the game and to a certain extent they did. I played all 5 original combat missions. Great game, I was fan. When the re-releases started coming out I posted comments to the effect of hey where's the new engine?, Why can't I use a scroll wheel to change viewing altitudes. Because this WAS the same game I played on my Pentium 1 years back. Then came the chorus of "if it aint broke don't fix it, don't change it" reply from the fanbase. I was like OK, I'm moving on.
I saw this in other games too. Like in Jagged Alliance back in action. (Sorry for the Apple to Oranges topic) A really really good modern remake of the Single guy squad wargame. But the original fans just attacked the developer of JABIA every way they coul:, bad comments, spams, absolute insults to the poor moderators. Yep never would get a sequel there, so now we have nothing.
I digress. My points is the new CC engine was a long long time coming. Fortunately CM is more innovative where change is concerned.

The Russians seem to lack squad weapon support, either as doctrine or in-game, cause those stalin record players suck. I have to micro the guys with them to get them to be aggressive, and, well they don't carry much ammo compared to their MG34 counter part jockeys. I think that's where the perceived weak Russian squad firepower may be coming from.
OTOH the smg squads, once they do get close, will tramp over a fixed position, but its only by terrain or shear numbers that allows them to get close to do that.
-
I see these planes sometimes like anything in the open that moves. But then again that happened all too often in WW2 especially.
-
Looking good, Saferight! But I was hoping you'd be doing some helmets.
What? they got hit decals on Helmets now!
-
Hey guys tell me if I'm the only one doing this cause it drives me. This is a habit from playing certain other games that may look a little like the cm series
I often forget to Right Click to release command of a unit before clicking on the next unit. Why? because clicking on another unit should automatically release the previous unit. Xept it don't. You get a new waypoint instead.I would not want to see anything changed, because why should everybody else have to get used to a new release method for me. But it sure would be sweet to have a new option in customization setup menu to have release on next unit selection yes/no, or right click to release unit yes/no.
-
I do wonder if after the novelty wears off anyone will notice the decals. I hope BF didn't sacrifice anything else useful for them.
I would think nothing was sacrificed because its all just a matter of time to implement, and battlefront doesn't seem tied to a deadline, my impression. As far as a novelty, I find I CSI the battlefield constantly now based on these decals, I am really appreciating how weak side armor is.
-
Maybe they are just waiting for requests. In that case I would like 1 sound mod with a ppsh burp gun sound please. And 1 Soviet tanks with white slogans painted in Cyrillic letters.
>closes eyes hits refresh button and voila!

Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail, hippity hop hippity hop.....
-
I'm gonna be odd man out here and say this is planned as an Easter release.
-
-
I would like to see some soviet graffiti on the tanks. Didn't they paint slogans and banners as a form of battle honors.
-
What about the guys issued bullets without rifles, and the guys given the rifles without the bullets, didn't see them on the list.
-
Hetzers had a postwar life too. I believe the Swiss used them for a time.
Its a little known fact that after the ill fated Hamelburg raid, surviving US tank crewman claimed to have had a run in with a platoon of jagpanthers. After the war when all the pieces were put together it turned out to actually be a depleted company of 11 Hetzers rushed to the battle by rail... OK thats my Cliff Claven moment for the day.

2 questions (or wishes) for CM-BS
in Combat Mission Black Sea

Small teams not suitable to present scale, but it would be nice if BF branched the engine off into a Combat Mission Tactics game featuring individual man units.
