[A Quick Battle AAR: Shermans vs Pz IVs, Not Your Fathers Combat Mission]

Damn good question Scottie. I'm actually surprised it hasn't been brought up before...

Anyway, this is a reference to the fact that CMBN, though related to the CMx1 series is really a whole new kettle of fish... it plays differently, it resolves armor hits in a much more realistic manner, you have to play it in a much more realistic manner than you did the CMx1 series in order to be successful.

Bil

I thought that what it was all about.

Why do the German crew still wear their headphones? Wouldn't they leave those with the tank? Has this been fixed in later builds?

Michael

I think it was standard practice in tanks that the crew were equipped with earphones with detachable wires on the headsets so the wire wouldn't get rapped around the tank crewman's neck when they bailed out.

Think I might have read that in "Tank Aces" 1 or 2 or "Armor Battles of the Waffen SS"

ISBN 0-8117-2905-2

On another note, the headsets in the screenies look very much like the one worn on by the guy on the right in the above book cover.

Game on.

Noo! Na FECK OFF, ye bog snorkelin' manky Scots git!

That's a bit harsh.

Don't you talk about my 'lil Chevy like that!

She has feelings you know...

Thats one hell of a big car, how big a crew does it carry ? lol

[Summary of Battlefront Game projects March 2011]

Awesome films like Stalingrad and iron cross. Plus Sven Hassel books!

Ah Sven Hassel books, now that brings me back.

[Question about performance]

Thank you Gromit

[Question about performance]

I'll be getting a new PC in the summer, what PC specs do you guys recommend I should look for so I can play CMBN in all it's glory ?

[How did you find out about Combat Mission?]

I used to subscribe to PC GAMER magazine and found the CMBB demo on one of the discs. The rest as they say is history.

[A Quick Battle AAR: Shermans vs Pz IVs, Not Your Fathers Combat Mission]

Great AAR chaps. A quick question about map editing, how do the flavour objects in CMBN differ from those in CMSF ? Obviously the "ATM" and "Aircon" aren't in. I know there is "hay stacks" and "carts" just wondering if there was abandoned cars etc..

[A Quick Battle AAR: Shermans vs Pz IVs, Not Your Fathers Combat Mission]

Frankly Im drooling soo much, I cant wait for my copy, so I went back and started watching all my DVD's of "A World at War"...again...

Good call, I should dust them off too. May I suggest the Battlefield DVD series.

[A Quick Battle AAR: Shermans vs Pz IVs, Not Your Fathers Combat Mission]

Will you tube guy be in it ?

[Randomly Generated Maps]

..... But CMBN hold higher promise (jeez how could it not!) One thing is certain, when the game finally gets into the players hands BFC will be listening intently.

BFC always does, doesn't it ?

[Another silly question]

Cheers thanks.

[Another silly question]

Will there be air assets in CMBN ?

[This might be a silly question...]

I was just having a look through the TO&E section on the CM:BN page for the frist time and was shocked that there was no Brits listed, and I half expected French partisans to be there as well.

[This might be a silly question...]

I'm so looking forward to all of this.

My last girlfriend left because of CMx1, I'm serious. My current one will give me the elbow when this one comes out.

Hrmmm.....I'm 35 now, when CM:BN comes out in the next year or so, I might not be married until I'm 40.

[This might be a silly question...]

Happy days ahead then:)

[This might be a silly question...]

Does battlefront have plans to do a CMBB game with the CMx2 game engine ?

Secondly, with the aborted attempt of Combat Mission Campaigns had Battlefront planned to make CMx2 game engine compatible with work done with the software of said project or has that dream been torpedoed for good ?

[Is CMMOS still available ?]

Nevermind I'll use McMMM instead.

[Is CMMOS still available ?]

As the title reads, is CMMOS program still available to download any where ?

[Need assistance w/ map converter]

Thanks very much.

[Need assistance w/ map converter]

Could let us know how you did it please.

[Mountain map 4x4km]

I made the map hex by hex hand and used old maps from WWII and I also used Google Earth to get the real elevations and LOS.

Jonas

That's impressive !

[Mountain map 4x4km]

Sorry where are my manners. Thanks to Marx for posting link so quick.
