What? What are you talking about? Isn't this for CMSF2?

I will say this much, the things you can do in Tokyo are QUITE different than after hours entertainment in San Francisco... enough said on that topic, there are impressionable youngsters around here.

Umm the tip was- don't play old counter games...moving right along...

As Broadsword put it recently on reading some reviewer talking about unpacking a board game and lovingly examining the counters. "like reading about wargamer porn". I haven't laughed that hard in quite some time. It is just too darn appropriate. Meanwhile I mounted Screaming Eagles in Holland on a 3x4 panel and then mounted a thin sheet of plexiglass over it to allow me to mark it up to my hearts content. It has space allocated in my home office so I can stare at it and draw up op plans.....my office centerfold as it were.

It might actually be in your interest to read through a few posts on the topic. You aren't commenting into a vacumn. There has been quite a bit of heated commentary on both the difference between CMBO and the way CMx2 modules have worked that goes back quite a few years and the pricing model which had raged all over this forum since May. I also hear George MC can count using his toes, he is quite talented. Unfortunately he is also cross eyed so he tends to double the figures. Sorry to blow your cover George, but double counting your VL points was making it quite obvious.

Uniforms made in China, choreography by Blackwater. Hey when our Olympians tweet things like "When's da gun shooting competition", what did you expect?

The announcement is posted right on the main page. Read that and if it still isn't clear ask them. As far as I know no one has ever suggested $60 for an update or patch. Patch is free, update is $5 bundled, $10 stand alone. Modules are full price (generally $35 I think).

Neither. You should read the announcements on the family concept for the game, they are likely clearer than me repeating them. A game constitutes a specific period (terrain, available vehicles and ToEs being the restrictive factors) The CMBN family was always intended to cover up to and include Market Garden with it's additional modules. Hopefully that means it would run into November. The Bulge family and it's modules would cover Dec. and into 1945. One of the items specifically targeted for the Bulge family is snow and associated terrain conditions. The source is BF in a number of announcements on the Family release schedule. (another example is the first Eastern Front game for Bagration. It will likely not have snow conditions as well.)

Likely never. CMBN will likely only cover until October/November. The Bulge family will get you your Winter ice capades.

I am a fellow west coaster, but yes you are right, that is odd. Forget I mentioned it.

None at all, I was able to assemble the PC and hook up the monitor no problem. Why do you ask? Odd hour for you to be up.

WTF is wrong with you? You didn't include CM at all.

Ahh my friend, you have apparently not discovered the straw! To those folks who say "My God, champagne through a straw? That's sacrilege!" I say pshaw, not if it interferes with CM! Hands free drinking to play uninterrupted!

Maybe I missed something but how do we know what it was clearly doing? Has Tiresias given you any indication of what he had been doing with his armor? For all I know it sidled over there hoping to line up a shot down the road from further back and was not in LOS/LOF prior. And thanks for the AAR, nice to see several of these going on right now. This forum needs more.

I personally can not imagine a world without Monty Python. The music is all bonus. Just yesterday I had to play for a coworker the village idiot skit. Absolutely brilliant.

Actually you do notice something different as your game improves without the "distractions."

or their gums, I think lack of proper food can make your teeth fall out.

No opinion yet on the opening ceremonies, but anytime you can piss off N Korea is a success.

whereupon they will be modded to look like Daniel Craig.

Very cool. LOL I had forgotten about that Map glad you were able to get anything out of it. Looking forward to seeing your scenario - good luck

woohoo!!! CM:Fulda Gap right after space lobsters? (Hey even I am not stupid enough to get in the way of the game you'd prefer to do).

Have some great stories of Chinese contributions to local development in Africa that once they get what they want turn out to not be such a great contribution.

Well sad thing is Americans have this knee jerk reaction in lumping communist political ideology with Marxism and have only a cursory understanding of how little there is of any systemic view of what constitutes communism even amongst the communists. Politics is politics communist politicians are no more nor less corrupt than politicians in capitalist socities, they just don't have to waste as much time trying to convince anyone they aren't corrupt. It is efficiently corrupt, or corruptly efficient. Hell I'd have to consider myself a Marxist because I actually agree with the theory of dialectical materialism - The universe is an integral whole in which things are interdependent, rather than a mixture of things isolated from each other. - The natural world or cosmos is in a state of constant motion: "All nature, from the smallest thing to the biggest, from a grain of sand to the sun, from the protista to man, is in a constant state of coming into being and going out of being, in a constant flux, in a ceaseless state of movement and change." --Friedrich Engels, Dialectics of Nature. - Development is a process whereby insignificant and imperceptible quantitative changes lead to fundamental, qualitative changes. Qualitative changes occur not gradually, but rapidly and abruptly, as leaps from one state to another. A simple example from the physical world is the heating of water: a one degree increase in temperature is a quantitative change, but between water of 100 degrees and steam of 100 degrees (the effect latent heat) there is a qualitative change. "Merely quantitative differences, beyond a certain point, pass into qualitative changes." --Karl Marx, Capital, Vol. 1. - All things contain within themselves internal dialectical contradictions, which are the primary cause of motion, change, and development in the world. It is important to note that 'dialectical contradiction' is not about simple 'opposites' or 'negation'. For formal approaches, the core message of 'dialectical opposition / contradiction' must be understood as 'some sense' opposition between the objects involved in a directly associated context. That is probably true, but I promise you this. If you release CM:Avatar I will buy it.

Noob when do we get an actuall CM AAR off this I'm loaded with popcorn and on the road and need some CM entertainment.

He is right Mord. It is redundant. However something like this would be more appropriate Not Mord nor am I Noob or JonS or frankly almost anyone else excepting maybe sburke
