  1. Well, I'll bump this thread and throw my name into the ring, if there's still room (and if the game is still being released).
  2. So when does the next one start? And who can play?
  3. Excellent, I've just started a Polish scenario...what exactly does this include? And does it cover just September 1939? Thanks...
  4. The answer to the original question is NO. You can't use indirect fire with Priests; they must have a direct LOS to the target, which means they last all of about three turns before some enemy tank lines one up and fires a softball to kill it. Keep them well back from the front lines, well hidden, and use them to destroy infantry and buildings.
  5. Still, it's nice to have it all in one place. My hardcopy arrived today (ordered from a used bookstore in England, it's out of print), and I wouldn't call the info generic. Useful for a beginner. You can find much more detailed discussion in this forum and on others, but it takes a while to find what you're looking for. So, sure, get the PDF version if you're new to the game, you'll probably learn a few things. It's also written in an easy-going style, one that many veteran grognards may find too simple, but for newbies is probably right on.
  6. Have you made CM West available yet? Or is it still being tested? If you could remind us newcomers, too, what timeframes and regions that CMETO, CM West, and CM Normandy cover...thanks! Does anyone have a nice spreadsheet scenario list for these versions of the game?
  7. Haha, yes, I considered that he might be questioning the sanity of the request, too, but chose to think otherwise. I ordered from the link. Thanks for that. If anyone has another copy, though, I'd be interested in getting one for myself.
  8. Does anyone have a decent copy of the original printed CMBB Strategy Guide by Mark Walker, and would you be willing to part with it for a reasonable price? I'm interested in giving it as a gift. I know you can purchase a PDF of the guide from Battlefront.com, but I'd prefer to give the printed version. I'd like a copy that's not marked up, and doesn't look too roughed up.
  9. OK, I'm a little confused. An objective third party plays the game hotseat, and then turns it over to two other players, who play it hotseat or PBEM from that point? If so, why can't the setup just start at the point of surprise?
  10. Can you design a scenario so that one side's morale can start at something less than 100%? Or does it always have to start at 100? That might be another way to simulate surprise.
  11. Why does the guy on the lower right seem to have his rifle barrel shoved into his crotch? He does seem to be grimacing a little...
  12. Well, hey, forget ordering the book, there it is online! These Internets are a wonderful thing...
  13. Maybe you know of these, but there's this link: Lorraine Campaign and there's also Hugh M. Cole's book from 1950, The Lorraine Campaign , available on a number of used book sites. Search for it using Bookfinder.com.
  14. Ha ha. Very nice cartooning...perhaps a new method for AARs? Yep, bogging happens in open ground on occasion. Remember, it's only "abstracted" open ground in the game, meaning it could include mud, ruts, leaves, branches, blood, guts, etc....
