There is a free version of Fraps. Either that or BFC can attach Fraps to the game for an additional $49.95. Free is better.

I think the 2nd paragraph is a pretty good analysis why so late in the East Front war.

Big Cats fighting big vodka drinking tanks. Everybody likes a big tank.

When I clicked this thread, based its title, I thought it was a flusterated grog wanting to pre-order. But its just spam.

Sure it was a slaughter at this time, but I doubt you'll play real life scenarios many scenarios where 12 SU-100 with tank riders attack two ATGs and a weakened infantry company on the open steppe. Those aren't much fun. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and predict some fair and balanced scenarios will be included in the game.

When I had a Cattledog I lost 30 pounds (13.6 KG). I had to walk the beast 25 miles (40 km) a week to keep it calm. Damn. Why didn't I think of sedation?

On 23 Dec, Santa began his roll in to town according to the BFC home page. Last night (7 Jan) I stored the Christmas decorations up in the rafters, however, comma, no sign of Santa....yet. Not even a pre-ordered Santa. Just saying.

Split squads or breakout a scout team or two to take point.

I have moved mortars and then used them for indirect with no delay for alignment to a stake or KRP.

I just tested it and it works. Indirect Fire is permitted for german infantry guns and pack75s. I had always thought mortars were the only on-board units that could use IF. I made a long 1400m board and placed a line of level 4 houses near one end. I positioned 4 pack75 at varying distances behind the houses and a FO on level 3 of a house looking down range. Depending on the distance behind the house the min range that IF could be used varied. 6 square behind houses - min range greater than 1320m* (could not use IF) 10 square behind houses - min range greater than 1350m* (could not use IF) 13 square behind houses - min range 1000m 17 square behind houses - min range 750m *NOTE: These range limits are just the map I made. Extending the map could get different results. And I'm too lazy to retest.

I don't use H2HHelper but IIRC there is a message capability there.

I play some Freecell and some Spider Solitaire - 2 deck.

Sewage Dictionary would be a better name.

If I Recall Correctly (IIRC) IRL means In Real Life. BRB

It's some how related to mods. Remove your mods then give it a look.

There was an old CMBO or CMAK scenario where the units were all intermingled in a small town. Rubble and burning buildings every where. Flames in every direction and flying bullets in every direction. A few tanks on the edge of town. No real objective but kill or be killed. Can't remember the name. Strictly H2H. I don't thing the set up zones over lapped just checker board on the map.

I know BFC has discussed the East Front as either being several games or one game with many modules. I exclusively play PBEM QBs against 1 friend. In setting up the games we select random for most options and just go from there. We don't give each other rejection rights if we don't like the battle. I would like to see a single game spanning from 41-45 with random selections for date and region. And with regards to the BFC business model, I would see no problems paying the game price each time a new year is introduced. And the $35 for any modules for each of the years. Additionally on the CMBN I'd like to see the Region selection France/Holland and date/month add an option of RANDOM.

All good points with regards to the command delays. But something should be done to the Russians because all accounts say they tended not to be creative and take initiative on the battlefield. Nothing was more frustrating then the command delays when the log jam traffic pile up occurred. It took massive micro-managing to clear a jam out. Like the 91 at rush hour.

The biggest GOD-LIKE ability available is view points 2 and up. How many pre-Viet Nam commanders (helocopter) could levitate above the terrain and see down on the battle? Not very many. Additionally you cant see the battle from a spot that you are not on. There was somebody's rule set went something like this: 1. Use the tab key to move from unit to unit and then do pivot while viewing the map. 2. Aways keep your camera at level 1. There were several more. I'm not sure if this was a rule or not. I would toggle troops off, then using a view 7 review the empty map from high above. Because every commander had a map. I tried this a few times and said NO WAY. What was the name of those rules??

Interesting. I had a coworker that said his hHigh school math teacher was in the Polish cavalry. The teacher claimed to have busted his saber on a tank barrel. The teacher made it to America right after the war. When I heard this story I assumed complete fairy tale. It probably was true.

If I have a daughter her name will be "Biffsee" - BFC. I just read the BFC Bio's and cant come up with a good name for a son. So based on that I'll just call him "The Boy".

+1 to 76mm. What does it mean?

I saw some casualties on the tank riders in the movie. Will the seriously hurt/KIA just fall off the tank or will they stay on board till the rest jump off? Gives us another movie where the T-34 takes a hit from an 88.

In a windy scenario I saw all the FFE rounds fall 75-100 yds off target. I adjusted target 75 yds up wind. Then they fell "on target" 75 yds away from the enemy. :mad:

That's what I use.
