Disagree with #5. A good flyover is usually good for important unit details. #8 disagree with convoys and fishing boats. Then its just like other resource gathering games. Kill the gathering units and starve the town. Agree With: #7 concur. #11 Excellent - at least level 2 or 3 transports carry 2 or more paratroops.

Back in the day of the CMAK release there was a So Cal preview. My wife made other plans for me that day. :mad: Now that I'm divorced when and where in So Cal? I'll bring the chips and dip. I make a mean chili onion dip.

I'm guessing Pre Orders within a week or two of the last preview. Either then or Feb 2012

Great!!! I was born in Scranton .... But I haven't been there since 1964. Put me down in the no column.

If a squad is on Quick orders and one of the troops boot lace break, does buddy aid apply or is he forced re-tie it himself??

In an episode of Combat, Sarge once halted a tank by sticking a 3 foot log inside the track near the drive wheel. The tank went back and forth trying to dislodge it. Eventually, Sarge got on top and dropped a grenade in a hatch. That is how you destroy a tank with a grenade. Vic Morrow is/was the man.

Guessing here, but it's gotta be analogous to CMSF unit data.

With apologies to the Boxtops - - - - Give me a ticket for an aeroplane ain't got time to take a fast train SF days are gone I'm a goin' Norm (andy) Rune, this game is much better

Rumor mill says: Pre-orders start when this AAR/DAR is complete. :cool: Elvis and JonS, Hurry up and post the next chapter. BFC, Any truth to this rumor, I just made up.

I say Ping you say Tsing I say Mao Zedong you say Mao Tse-tung.

If the ping sound is in, is the visual of a clip ejecting in too? Do the clips lay around on the ground?

I love how every one says how inflamatory Sarah Palins comments are. Perhaps we all should have taken President Johnson's words to heart when he said "Declare war on Poverty". Was he really saying "Urban assault the ghettos and carpet bomb Appalachia." And when Sarah said "Target Gifford in her run for congress" She wasn't talking about using a gun. Several reports from this guys friends say this guy didn't listen to radio, watch the news or wasn't political, but that won't make main stream media. This guy was a complete psycho, plain and simple. Politics had nothing to do with it.

I don't play CMSF, but the best thing I'm reading about that will preserve troops is the ammo resupply feature. In CM1X, a 40 minute game left most of my guys low an ammo and a 60 minute game often resulted in me forcing bullet-less men rushing the flag. In CM2X, the additional time in a 2 hour game will allow extensive manuevering, and the additional bullets will allow massive and continuous suppression fire, thus preserving troop life.

A fun guess? I stopped having fun when release date slipped past 6 June 2010. Now the wait is excruciating. All fun has been canceled until the release date.

Just verifying the serial number on this .45 matches the range of those issued in 1943 thru 1944.

Remember the Pyewacket Map Converter Tool. I converted a few CMBO scenarios to CMAK using it. Is there an equivalent for CMx1 to CMx2? Could one be developed or are the game engine differences too great?

The command delays got to me was in a road convoy situation at the start of a scenario. You would need to make sure that there was always an extra command or two for the leaders at the end of the road trip to bumper car mayhem.

What? WWII didn't end when the leadership of the Nazi state died in a cinema fire?? C'mon man! they wouldn't start a movie with "Once upon a time..." if it wasn't true.

In the Band of Brothers series, that burning Sherman chased Bull Randleman down the ditch for a good way, but the engine was running. Presume the dead driver was still on the controls?

Why Normandy?... Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force! You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world. Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely. But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory! I have full confidence in your courage and devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory! Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking. SIGNED: Dwight D. Eisenhower
