Sly - is it possible to have the scenarios sent to me? As I would like to play these again with others (i.e without passwords) Me and da hammer will finish our game today and send. -

I was playing the Americans defending and was suprised not to have any anti-tank mines? And on such a narrow road also - would have been a golden opportunity Also, I set the ambush at the first set of woods/trees - I did use the reverse slope - but not enough. Anyway, it was a total slaugther for my troops and I am suprised that they still let me command them Well, those that are still alive. -

Probably discussed before but just want to know everyones opinion: Is it gamey or just damn wrong to use a 'crew' in a offensive role? I dont see the problem but have been informed its not the done thing. Comments pls? -

sorry, in CMBO or in reality? -
Tiger against Sherman
Neil aka Major Tum replied to Manito's topic in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord
I would like to add two things also; 1) Cant remember excatly what type of shot or what type of weapon it was but the Tiger in the tank musuem in Bovingdon UK was captured because a shot managed to 'weld' the turret to the superstructure, at the 'shot trap' - Apperently, the crew, because they couldn't rotate the turret, surrendered! Hope I have remebered this correctly? 2) I never by Tigers in CMBO as they are not worth it. I always but 'Hetzers' as they have the same punch and are only 1/3 of the points. And more importantly seem to have the same type of chance head to head, as a Tiger. I suppose the major difference to Tiger in CMBO would be the crew? I haven't tested this but would imagine an 'elite' crew could fire the first shoot a lot quicker and also reload? Only my thoughts. -

dinga44 - thanks but this is what I am currently doing, and its a pain but at least it works. Will try the tech forum - Slysinper when are we starting the tourney? -
A cmbo Tournament
Neil aka Major Tum replied to slysniper's topic in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord
I know this isn't the right place for this but I am in the Tourney... As I haven't played by email before 'Will' has kindly offered a game with me, which we have started. The problem is Hotmail. When I download the file, Hotmail just opens the file in my webrowser. I then have to copy and paste it into notepad and save it. Is this right? Because I usually just save the file straight to disk. Have looked on Hotmail options but didnt find anything? -

You might be able to play tcp if your opponant is willing, but I doubt that many would since it is PBEM format. I would suggest that you find someone and do a couple of PBEM before then so that it will not be a problem at Tournament time, it is not hard but it does take a little getting use to. Sometimes getting files from someone can be a little challenging because of firewalls and such. </font> -

Thanks redwolf So I use the 'serial connection' on both computers? And you think xp might sort it by itself? If not; what is SLIP or PPP? As you can imagine I am a complete novice at the tech stuff.. -
Hi guys n girls Is it possible to contact a laptop and a pc via a cable so I can play CMBO?

Does anyone every suffer the above when playing CM? If I zip around the battle field, scrolling in and out, up and down, for a longtime, then I start to feel a bit sick... I suppose its a bit like when I was a kid and travelled in my parents car...then puked up everywhere... Or am I just sensitive?

Camo - Does it matter?
Neil aka Major Tum replied to Neil aka Major Tum's topic in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord
Cheers, though so. Pity eh? -
This is probably a very old question; Does it really matter what camo an AFV has? I assume that the computer doesn't compute to this degree? and therefore, my AFV's could be bright pink?
