What makes this module worth buying?
MG TOW replied to Aragorn2002's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
Hey, that's false advertising -
I was about to think things did not look as detailed. Then i remembered whenever a module is added to check my settings. Sure enough 3D and texture quality was bumped back to mid from the install. So I maxed them out again. Looks great!

How accurate are Kriegsmarine ranks?
MG TOW replied to Frenchy56's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Actually Kriegsmarine battalion commander in game is Kapitänleutnant by all appearance, not Ensign according to UI. -

MG TOW replied to Frenchy56's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
I don't think game design allows battalion commanders from different branches to apply leadership over all formations on map. I tried it in the editor. Actually if I know this I would think it was common knowledge. I just assumed if there is a Kampfgruppe commander somewhere, he is in rear with gear as they say. -
Interview of a Waffen SS Soldier
MG TOW replied to sonar's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
This was filmed in 1986? And he is still in denial. He stated he was shown films of bodies in Dresden and was told it was from Bergen-Belsem during an interrogation he received sometime from 1945-48. He based his whole denial on that for the remainder of his life. Its entirely possible some amateur film splicing operative after the war mislabelled file footage and sent it to educate these guys. But you think by 1986 he would have figured that out. -
The trooper in question stated with a discernible Cuban accent "say hello to my little friend"

Kampfgruppe Peiper Campaign
MG TOW replied to Aragorn2002's topic in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg
Even having the AI know which plan was used -maybe in a little profile file somewhere- so a new plan is used. I have played battles getting the same plan repeated. -
Fradulent Credit Card Transactions
MG TOW replied to CanuckGamer's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Well that's the perfect recipe to fish-out identity and passwords -
I am watching this series called Counterpart. If you like intriguing cold war style espionage mixed with your science fiction. Its not super action packed but it is a very well scripted noir style of spy vs saboteur vs double agent vs assassin type sci-fi thing. The setting is present day Berlin. Its about A secret UN agency that been based in Berlin for thirty years. The agency oversees a crossing point to a parallel Earth (the "Prime world"), a copy of our world, which was accidentally created by East German scientists during a cold war experiment gone wrong in 1987. The problem is, all the duplicate personalities have experienced 30 years of divergence. The Prime world also experienced a massive plague which they blame as an intentional act by the Alpha world. so what u watchin? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4643084/

How I view most scenarios and the designers...
MG TOW replied to WriterJWA's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Maybe I think that way a bit for role playing type games when I open up on a shop keeper to get his loot But it doesn't cross my mind for CM WW2 -Stalin: Not one step back. Hitler: Fight to the last bullet . Western Allies: Oh look *Omaha beach (sub in Dieppe for Canadians, Dunkirk for you know). I mean this is the time and place the mission came first, mission essential equipment came second, and somewhere down the pole came the general issue soldier. So if I can hasten the end of WW2 by pushing my squadies to attack, rally my broken squads to fire one more bullet, then scrounge a machine gun and run for the objective. I do it for the win! But I would like a bit more time I don't like being rushed through the carnage. -

Ha! It also helps if you know what smeac is. Otherwise you are just fighting over shiny green patches on the ground and you don't know why. -
Infantry shooting backwards at dead bodies
MG TOW replied to Hardradi's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
I use flame throwers to rack up kill counts. Spray the bodies with area fire, you will hear screams. These are the wounded converting to kill counts. I believe it effects the morale and makes the AI surrender flag trip earlier. -
Enough Whining. List things you LOVE about CM
MG TOW replied to Kinophile's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
well, I had a panzerfaust team running to a location to get a bead on a tank. It was last ditch suicidal maneuver. To my surprise the guy with the faust stopped mid stride, took aim, fired, killed tank, then continued to his end destination. Is this a new thing? Anyways I was impressed. I just realized you can shoot and scoot infantry AT guys. Oh yeah, and everything else everybody else said too. -

tanks Tank tactics: why the regression?
MG TOW replied to Sasa Narinasa's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
30 meters may not be the ideal distance to spring an ambush, the arc itself is just a shift and 2 clicks, not a bad price for a custom ambush. -
I would be happy to see the move animation combined with the aim animation used for the hunt command. But this is somewhere on a long list of grand scheme requirements.

New Website status update
MG TOW replied to Battlefront.com's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
Some people may discover battlefront by a google content search that leads to the forums. Might be worth having a link here to the store. -

Is there a permanent link on this community forum to the store site? It would seem a good idea to place one. Or did I blindly not locate it.
