GSX

I too have read the forums here for many years. Always afraid to dip my toe in the forum waters until I finally did a couple of years ago. I also agree that the first thing many people do here is instantly flame. This is the main reason I am such an infrequent poster here. I think the Boards have been allowed to be hijacked by certain members of the self proclaimed in-crowd.

MD Please accept my apologies for my comments. After re-reading my comments I realise that you were right. I guess this board just gets my back up more often than not for the manner that new posters are treated by certain others here. It seems at times like the lower your membership number or the higher your post count actually matters more than what you have to say. In fairness your contribution to the Canadian military is more than mine to the UK one. Cheers gsx

And so here we are. A year since the announcement and apparently still no closer to the goal. If this had come out a year ago I would have bought it, now, I wont. Things move on, the CM world grows smaller with every passing day and I doubt that it will even make a profit now. I wonder what the unit sold quantity has to be to break even? Sorry but my friends and me are waiting for SF now. Even this seems so far in the future that the original premise should be moved from 2007 to perhaps 2012. I await the demos.

A whole year! Man that's amazing! Still no news is ,no news. I'm beginning to think that by the time CMC comes out, no one will buy it. I'm certainly not interested any more and definitely wont be getting it. If only it had been produced a year ago!! Much more looking forward to SF now anyway.

i love the way you make yourself out to be something more than your are. regimental awards can be for many things.. holding the Col's dog could get you that award. Is it a combat award from Afghanistan? Now that would be impressive. i saw some of your guys out there earlier this year. Nice blokes, none of them seemed to know you though. Diffrent regiment I suppose. I'm due to go back there after Xmas, any chance we may end up in the same trench, I will bring my laptop, could be a real chance for a hotseat pbem.

Thanks for the info. I'd forgotten just how lovely it was to converse with you. I'm glad your not a condescending arse who has all day to read every message posted on this forum and berate others for perhaps missing it. Oh and for your information, no game will ever be realistic as its not REAL. And I wondered why I didnt come here very often. </font>

Thanks for that information friend.

If this game is already available in Russia can I ask why its not available now? Call me daft, I know, but surely all the coding etc is already there and its a pure translation to English thing? Feel free to berate me for my stupidity.

I think you will find the SA80 A2 version is a much improved and reliable weapon since H & K revamped it. And since the British Army prides itself on marksmanship, I can testify that its very accurrate. Last I read, the TAR might never reach service.

Looks to me like progress is being made, as usual I dont post here often, being UK mil and being over there a few times and seeing the Stryker in action though, I do have to agree that I've never seen a Desert Cam one. It looks good though, just a suggestion that Syria wouldnt need a Desert Cam anyway. From the snippets so far its feeling good and I hope that after you do the expected marine Module, you may think about doing a UK one, although this may be tricky as we dont really have comparible vehicles!

The Dogs Bollocks, thanks for them.

Hi mate. You can find lots of guys to play at these 2 locations: http://www.theblitz.org/index.php http://www.webandofbrothers.de/ I'm sure you will be welcomed with open arms.

A bit pointless as its not Soviets versus Allies and the Syrians wont field 200 T-55 to 4 M1's, more likely the US would field more armour in a given battle than the Iraqis, er sorry Syrians so if we are calculating points it will have to be done in a whole new way I think.

I love the CM WW2 games, but I would love to have a 1980's NATO Vs Warsaw Pact game before a WW2 title. This is what I hoped SF would be initially and is probably why I was so dissapointed with the choice of Theatre for the first game. Just imagine leading your T-72's into the Fulda Gap, I'd pay a lot for that.

I pop in from month to month now. Sadly, no new news has arrived since the day they announced it. Hopefully all is going well and I will continue to pop in occassionally in anticipation. I think this may have been a case of advertising a game too soon, but reading back the forums I can see why it was done. Hopefully the game will be ready before the 2007 premise passes by, as it will then be a historical game. I trust the team to deliver a quality product, but then again some snippets would be welcome. Cheers

I agree fully with the above post, especially on the Mouse Zoom, this would have been a really great addition and I'm sure it wasnt impossible to do. However, my point was that if CMC takes another year to come out how many guys may actually buy it. I mean guys who dont already play it here. So to that effect how will the company make any money on it? I for one will definately buy it as I too feel that a Campaign will make CMBB much more interesting for me. It is after all this time still the game I fire up through choice.

No offence meant but vossies is stil the best Mod out there, I tried yours and made myself stick with it for 3 days, in the end I just had to say NO. However, your Splash Screen is the best I have ever, ever seen!

Cmbb is the greatest ever version of the CM series in my opinion. When I heard that this was coming out I was enthralled. However, it has now been many many months and the only news about it is sparce to say the least. The Website hasnt changed at all as far as I can see. I can only imagine that it may have been announced as a sop to all the deregetory CMx2 Shock thing comments and that it was announced before it was even half way ready. Looking around the Web, CM in its current formats is experiencing a downturn, in all the various Clubs and Clans there is very little new infusion and a lot of the old boys are going elsewhere for their wargaming, if indeed they are still gaming. I still look forward to this new conception, but to be honest, it doesnt really seem that innovative from the Website and I cant see how the Company making it will make any money from it if it drags on so long that only the Hardcore of CM is left to buy it. After all, how long can you flog a dying Horse?

Pants idea from a person that I have come to respect here. read this ITS A GAME!

Bloody hell, your right, too much Whisky I'm afraid. Thats what I get for living in Whisky Country.............. When I sober up I hope to give a proper metaphor. And it came to pass that GSX was branded a disbelever and cast out of the forum to wander for an eternity seeking some sensible CM chat. [ March 18, 2006, 12:48 PM: Message edited by: GSX ]

Yes but asking for news brings out the Disciples, who will want to raise you on Golgotha for daring to question the words of the almighty unquestioning believers.

Sorry about the above, clarification needed. The game of CMSF is a tactical level game of modern war (I am led to believe). The actions in Iraq are more typical of a colonial Police action (believe me I've been there)so, how do we link one to the other? US infantry war fighting doctrine does not translate easily into a Police action (and once again, believe me Ive seen it), so maybe its time to move away from Iraq actions and concentrate on real war fighting (which Iraq is definately not - you know). Iraq is more akin to Northern Ireland 1972- 1990 ish (let me add, Ive been there).
