  1. Why? Maybe because:

    1] he felt like it (the Peng answer, but less profane]

    2] he's such a lurker, he just realised someone replied to one of his posts [old timer's response]

    3] the computer he uses is reeeeeealy unreliable [not likely, but what the heck]

    4] to see if someone like Sergei would get fished into keeping it going EVEN LONGER

    5] all of the above.

  2. To all you guys/gals at Battlefront:

    A sincere thank you for your considerable efforts at producing and supporting a fine game!

    :D

    I say this first and foremost, as it seems to me that so much negativity is floating around out there.

    This is a 'new' game system, and is not the 'old' CMBO/BB/AK. I think it is a FUN system! Being one of many who hasn't bothered to read the rules, I poked my way into the Training Campaign - and it is the best 'tutorial' I've seen yet. Though rather dry, and causes me flashbacks [i served 17 yrs Army and still work for them as a DAC], it really 'gets you in' to the game, right now. And after 4 'battles', you get sent out to fight! The rest, like a private fresh out of Basic/AIT, is all up to experience [okay, so I *will* be reading SOME of the manual tongue.gif ].

    I have been involved with gaming since the mid-70's, when there were NO PC's, much less PC games. Just cardboard maps [hard mounted, if you spent the 'big bucks'], chits, counters, and ... dice. Hard as hell to find opponents. Some people out there may not appreciate your work, but I do.

    Again, many thanks, please keep up the good work, and God bless you all!

    So, maybe, just maybe WE KNOW WHAT THE HELL WE ARE DOING!

    Thank you and good night!

    Oh and if you don't like what I had to say you can help yourself to a warm glass of shut the hell up!

    Well said. This new CMx will only enrich things.
  4. Things to change:

    1. Add 'Campaign' option to allow progression of units throughout a 5+ series of scenarios, ala Steel Panthers/Panzer General.

    2. Replays: I would love to see a replay option for the WHOLE BATTLE. That, and allow replay saves of TCP/IP games [right, Mark? ;) ]

    3. Command Relationships; similar to what Buq-Buq mentioned, higher to lower, but with a chain-of-command commensurate with the overall troop quality [i.e., Veteran troops automatically replace killed commanders quicker than Regulars].

    4. AI common sense [i.e., no "dancing KV's" on the battlefield]. No AFV crew worth it's salt, like a Regular KV crew, would do a slow 360 pirouette in the face of GE SP guns.

    5. Better modelling. Yeah, I'll have to buy a new graphics card, and it's already pretty good, but could DEFINITELY be improved.

    Things to keep:

    1. Fog of War - the more 'extreme', the better.

    2. I like relatively 'human' reactions of troops under fire, e.g. 'panic', 'shock', etc.

    3. Environmental effects.

    4. Game style: Turn-based, tactical combat.

    5. Replays. I love watching my T-34 shrugging off pathetic 37mm rounds by the dozen... :D
