What is it with wargamers and their hard-on for roleplaying the worst war-criminals?
In the words of ZZ Top "every girls crazy for a sharped dressed man".
I think it is just for the fact that everyone knows the name ss and assume that they all were fanatical super human, allies crushing machines who were never defeated. Plus it's weird because I don't really associate Germans with fashion, but it's hard to say anyone else had cooler uniforms than the ss. Plus the word ss is cool, like Camero SS, it's just cool.
Just like people like playing grand theft auto, it feels good to be bad sometimes.

I didn't see the Rpg listed in the manual, so are they still in?

ChappyCanuck: Regular players make posts like yours quite often. And we get shouted down regularly with the same excuses for the game engine as above. And that's understandable if we are not military professionals and don't know how things are in RL
However, one would have hoped that when military officers make a post like this, they DO know what RL is like and their opinions would get more respect.
Erwin, this response is hilarious, because you used to be the one shouting people down when a concern was raised. In fact you did it to me in the CMSF forum a couple years back, so why now the change of heart? I always thought you were a turd for how you responded to my post (which wasn't offensive by the way).
But it seems lately you have been doing some complaining which I find ironic seeing how you used to talk down to people who raised concerns before.

I think you are right, but it suits me just fine as I far prefer the east front.
It may also seem like such a huge eclipse because it is a new game with a lot of new content instead of another module.

Ok, so how tired did I have to be to misread the headline as "hugs and kisses"???
Haha, I was actually thinking about making that the title but figured the other one went better with my question.

Trivia question: which better known WWII movie did the screenwriter for CoI also write the screenplay for?
Saving Private Ryan.

RPG-43 is in the game already, Molotovs are not really appropriate for this timeframe.
Steve
Thanks, I wasn't sure about the molotov's but worried about the Rpg's.
-
It was Africa I believe not Russia
-
The rpg I'm referring to was a thrown shaped charge, not fired like a bazooka, like modern rpg. From what I read the Russians tested the bazooka and didn't like it so never asked for them or made their own.
-
I looked at the weapons list posted and I didn't see the rpg or molotov cocktail listed. Will they be an option for Russian infantry to carry or will they be abstracted like the German infantry AT grenades if they are still being used in abstract.

What a night my Seahawks won the SB and I just pre-ordered the game. Go Seahawks I mean Russians!
-
Is the bunker occupied? When the AT gun fired earlier it may have killed all the enemy inside.

To replicate the experience - see who's coming up your drive by looking through your letter box. Vision blocks are painful for situational awareness.
That's pretty funny. Sounds like someone spent some time in an armored vehicle.

Looking forward to this one, thanks for all the effort that went into making it.

For about 75% of our total audience, perhaps. As anybody whose frequented these Forums over the last 13 years will know... Eastern Front is my favorite topic, but I'm not blind to the reality that the Western Front is where the sales are at. I bet if we put out an all inclusive 1941-1945 Eastern Front game it would be outsold by a Battle of the Bulge game.
Argue all you like, but if you haven't been on the sales and development side of gaming then kindly keep in mind that you don't know what you're talking about
Steve
You have only released one CM east front game to my knowledge so how can you say it will under sale? From what I thought I remembered was that CMBO sold the best followed by CMBB, lastly CMAK sold the worst. Am I correct in my recollection?
-
Well I am thinking of going over there and leaving a horrible review because no east front game is out yet. West front/ Market Garden= Boring garden!
-
Your loss, then.
Your loss!
-
How long do you reckon it is going to take these guys to do this job? Also it looks like they are not under fire.
So how long, under combat conditions do you think it would take a crew to repair a damaged track? I'm curious.
5-10 minutes.
-
Has the campaign been released?
-
Actually I have a further question.... Why did you decide to create the campaign around the recon and engineers. It's very unique I admit and I have been a fan of yours all the way back to the CMSF but I'm not sure I fully appreciate your artistic touch as far as the infantry are concerned.
-
John wasn't it the 501st SS? Maybe I am not remembering correctly.
-
Fair enough thanks for the answer
-
According to the briefing the only infantry available to the player in this campaign are scoots and engineers. Why is this? I'm not well read about scicly but I was fairly certain the HG division had infantry units why weren't they used for this campaign?
-
I believe it was Panzer Lehr infantry.
Waiting for the next module
in Combat Mission Red Thunder

On topic I'm really looking forward to playing with/against the axis minors.
