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 opportunityOriginally posted by K.A. Miles:Yes, I was one of the poor sods who got the Tiger stuck in the snow.
Seemed smart at the time (Mines on the road?), and the resistance I encountered seemed rather light at that point. I dunno, seemed to make sense, but now I slap myself. I won't be driving any more Tigers in the snow, anyway. The Panthers just booked it right through, no problem! 
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. -
Thanks - didn't realise their was a whole CMBO etiquette!Originally posted by Kingfish:Besides being universally frowned upon, you stand to lose more than gained by using crews in an offensive role. Consider that each crewman is armed with only a pistol, so the extra FP added to an attack is miniscule, yet they are worth so much point-wise that losing them will negate just about any gain.

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?
-
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.

As I am playing this against you - "What advantage did I have again?- I think I missed that one?" :confused:Originally posted by Walker:One move away from finishing the Bloody River scenario and still I can't decide if it favours the defender or the attacker...I suppose that means it could be well balanced. And yet - I can't shake off the feeling that the attacker has an inbuilt advantage. Any comments from the others? (But remember that many will still be battling it out so no specifics!)
Great little fight - I'm really enjoying it
! -
Its getting very interesting now...just wanted to ask when do games need to be finished by? end of Sept?
And please remind me what do I need to send when they are completed?
-
ok - understood
-
hmmm - wanted to post a picture but looks like I am having a bad day!
-
Yep, thanks to both of you - you are doing a great job!
Unlike me at the moment
"Dinga, takes out my 105mm with a some big strange orange ball?"

cheers - have all three now
-
sorry am confused.
Got the file from Slysniper and sent to Walker
Got a file from dinga44 and returned
Should I be getting and email, as per above, from WARHAMMER?
-
Slysniper - just thinking; where will results, stats be posted? here? Looking forward and thanks for all your efforts in this.
-
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?
-
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 isOriginally posted by slysniper:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr /> Count me in - Only played online live so will need to learn how to do it by email.
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 mate - especially for the link.

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?
-
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?
