  1. Question for BFC.

    I saw the movie Atlas Shrugged. Definitely a "B" movie. I had never read the book. The movie only covered part 1 of 3. So I went out and bought a copy.

    Bottomline: Will I finish the book before the release of CMBN? The book is only 1478 pages.

    Or will part 3 be out in the movies (15 April 2013) befroe the release of any Ostfront games/modues?

  2. I didn't read entire thread, sorry for any repeats.

    I thought about giving your operational campaign a try, but I sure as hell don't want my first CMBN game a battle for my whole Battalion. Give everyone few months or so to become more familiar with the game.

    I did look at your web site. Nice start. Keep refining the rules make sure they are air tight to prevent any disputes.

    And like some one said a previous operational game was the Onion Wars. Perhaps you could talk to the organizers there to know what pit falls and triumphs to expect.

    If in the end you don't get enough players, you could always assign a full Regiment to a player with the restrictions of committing a single battalion to a battle at a time.

  3. And there is one important thing missing: our new online activation system comes with new anti-hacking protection which will make people who play a pirated copy VERY unhappy. They will be surprised to find tanks missing, vehicles not being able to turn, game crashes etc. I don't want to into specifics, though.

    Does this affect both players in a PBEM the ones with a valid copy and the SW pirates?

    These are the people I want as PBEM opponents. Perhaps, then, I will have a fighting chance.

  4. The Cromwell - specifically the RM Centaur 95mm CS.

    *sigh*

    I know, I know, next module.

    And if they're not in there I'm having a stroppy fit.

    This must be a Cromwell Type T.

    T= Trigonometry. What's up with those degree markings.

    Commander: "Excuse me gunner, but there happens to be Panther at 57.4 degrees."

    Gunner: "Would that berring be true or relative, sir"

    Personally I prefer the old "Panther at 2:00 o'clock" command.

  5. I guess my real question is why does the fighting in the bocage not hold as big a place in the history of the British Army as it does the Americans?

    More due to the terrain:

    The area of Normandy the Division was to start fighting in as the Calvados region, south of the Bay of the Seine. It could be divided into to parts. The open campagne area south and south east of Caen, with rolling fairly open country side and the close bocage area to the south and south west of Bayeux.http://www.btinternet.com/~ian.a.paterson/battles1944.htm#Normandy

    Which puts the British sectors more open area and the GIs in bocage country. The Brits then fought Espom and Goodwood and tied up the German Panzers while the Amis were still plowing thru hedgerows.
