I imagine General Chaos was also a very picky eater as a child- pushing his food around the plate and whining that it was too hot, then after playing with it for an hour, complaining that it was cold, that one food was touching another, that there was too much of what he didn't like or too little of what he liked. I'm glad I don't work in a job that requires dealing with customers, as I'd end up going Postal! Even when the complainers are a tiny minority, the self-pity, drama and energy they put into it makes one drown out a thousand pleased customers! -
My Steelbook experience

The same with me- I consider shopping in a store to be cruel and inhuman punishment! Especially when it comes to birthday and Christmas shopping, I'd lose my mind if I couldn't do it on my computer at home! Not being stuck behind some moron who is standing in the middle of an aisle, talking on their cell phone, with no consideration for those trying to get through, or listening to spoiled brats scream at the top of their lungs to get their way, or stand in line to check out, only to see all the other lines moving quickly, while yours is at a stand still... the withering of retail stores may mean lost jobs, but I can't feel bad about that! -
Same here! I got to fly in Nine 'O' Nine- in the back of my mind was the question of how safe it was going up in an ancient WW2 bomber, without the modern emergency exits, etc., but getting the chance to fly in a B-17 was worth it and I'd love to go up again! I figure you're still in more danger just driving to the airport than going up in one!

It sounds like the Brits are getting hit with postage fees the way Americans are being gouged by "luggage fees" on airlines here! In bad economic times it's not like people have loads of money to spend on all these fees!!! -

Steve, I think this situation is very much like when a wife is physically abused by her husband and she calls the police, but when they arrive, she changes her mind and gets mad at the police for arresting her abusive husband. It's the "I'm allowed to say anything about my guy, but you have no right to say anything." syndrome. -
Mythbusters need to take this on!

Not as much fun as previous games.

"Depends" are the way to go! No more worrying about geezer-bladder and having to rush off to the bathroom every 10 minutes and breaking the flow of the game! -
How many Steelbox edition units?
RogCBrand replied to Champagne's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
That would be pretty cool!!! -
Rhino - hedge cutter extraordinaire
RogCBrand replied to xian's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
That is a good point. It real life, each piece of bocage would be different- not some standard. For a game, there's got to be a bit of abstraction, but in real life they could find some good weak spots in tough places, yet in some there might not be anyplace that would be easier to get through. The combination of various plants of various ages, thickness, steepness of the banks, height, etc. would all vary to some degree. In the game I figure that if they get a good average for the time it took to break through, that's good enough. -

Did concussive force bring down this house?
RogCBrand replied to RooksBailey's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
It was just a coincidence. It happened to be a WW2 French Meth lab that blew up during the battle... -

Maybe they dropped some equipment and the sergeant is telling them to run back and get it? -
I'm in the middle of Grand Jury duty- every Wednesday for 3 months! So, I'll be sitting in a little room, listening to the details of cases dealing with Meth addicts, thieves, child molesters, etc. and I'll have a really hard time focusing on the cases instead of drifting off to CMBN land!

Best thing is, the Demo didn't work for me but the Full Version does! It's so nice to actually be able to get the game to run!!!

Behold the vision of Nostradamus!!! "Nostradamus prophesied in Century 10, Quatrain 67: "combattre la mission au-delĂ de Normandie" shall rise from the battlefront on the day of the second full moon of Spring in the year of the "laden bin" collapsing. Thus it must be a release date of May 17th." http://www.battlefront.com/community/showpost.php?p=1255507&postcount=36

I used FlashGet and it took no time. That's the way to go- everyone downloading is helping everyone else download and so everyone gets it faster.

I've followed all the suggestions on here- including things like turning off my Avast AV before installing and playing, I've tried installing in the default position, Programx86, and so many other options. I've spent hours just trying to get the thing to play- I've got so many games and they all work without a problem. I just can't think of even one more thing I could try...

I've followed all the advice here and anything else I could think of but when I choose to play, the splash screen comes up the music plays then it closes down and says there's a problem. Windows 7 64 bit ATI Radeon 3000 CMSF works fine on my machine.

Historical WWII fiction in Normandy?
RogCBrand replied to Tactical Wargamer's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Sharra follows in his father's footsteps- he did Killer Angels, which was made into the big Gettysburg movie. They take all the major facts, but speculate on things the leaders might have said and done, that haven't been recorded and add in some fictional ordinary men to put you into the action at all the best times and places- but doing a fairly good job of feeling like it's sticking true to history. -

Are you insinuating that just because half the people here wear Napoleon Bonaparte uniforms and have dreams of conquering Europe, they are not quite sane?
