CM Normandy and the French last standing: The British tourist second home invasion.
This one is catchy!
-
I'd say invite friends over and have both drinks and Nato. Funny ensuing results for your men in Aleppo I reckon.

Cold winds are stirring
Omaha shores are far
Pray for shallow calm water

I will start it off by wagering US$100 that CM:N will be released before Armageddon.
I thought that was the really new CMSF module after NATO!

Looks the OP half brain has compressed into a singularity and disappear given thicknes, density and the fact that at time of posting there were still 2 more posts to be done at the talent thread.... 298 <> 300.

I guess the message that war is hell hasn't made it down to you yet?
Michael
Not quite. "Hell", as put by someone of relevance "is other people". And that includes our deservedly hot babe commanding officer and the clothes she wears or lack thereof.

Question in post no2 and answer in post no4 may shed some more light... or not:
-
Oh man, you really need to get out more. This obsession thing is taking over your life and it ain't healthy.
Michael
Actually it is my life that ain't healthy, I need CM:N for it to have a meaning again...

Ask again six months from now.
Michael
...........Actually, I believe now is somewhat relevant to paste this somewhat funny and old joke also somewhat related to the ongoing conversation:
George Bush goes to a primary school to talk to the kids to get a little PR. After his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand and George asks him his name.
"Stanley," responds the little boy.
"And what is your question, Stanley?"
"I have 3 questions. First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support
of the UN? Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes? And third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?"
Just then, the bell rings for recess. George Bush informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess.
When they resume George says, "OK, where were we? Oh, that's right question time. Who has a question?" Another little boy puts up his hand. George points him out and asks him his name.
"Steve! ," he responds.
"And what is your question, Steve?"
"Actually , I have 5 questions. First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes? Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden? Fourth, why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early? And fifth, what the hell happened to Stanley?

Same answer as always: When it's ready. With the added proviso: When you have enough money.
Michael
Fair enough, I am unsure if this has been asked before and we are risking intering into an infinite loop here but... When will it be ready then?

Dear Battlefront
When will i buy CM Normandy?

~Viajero, he speaks about the Kursk, and you about the ToW1:) It's a bit different in Kursk.
'Smoke' command works like this (fire once, then cancel) to conserve smoke ammo. If you want to unit to fire smoke rounds repeatedly, give it the 'ground attack' insted of 'smoke' order and choose the smoke ammunition (but keep in mind that it will begin to fire HE rounds after spending all Smoke ones, which may be a nasty surprise for an infantry squad that will recieve a friendly fire HE round after a smoke cover).
In Kursk, this can also happen in a problematic case if LOF barely makes it over obstacles, for example. Before each shot AI calculates the trajectory and may end in a 'no LOF' situation due to aiming error. This is also possible if you target an area - unit fires a shot, picks another random point in this area, tries to calculate trajectory and possibly fails if it can't hit this point from its current position.
No, no. I was talking about Kursk! I downloaded it too after all... but I was talking about normall shells ground fire, not smoke.

Q1 2011, hmmm... Big question (for BFC I guess) is will this be released before or after CMx2:N?!?!
-
Ah. I've used language like a brush to paint a picture, and you've taken the terms you've garnered from reading a gaming manual, and then used them like rocks to hammer away at your own verbal droppings.
Really poor excuse for still obviously sucking at Dominions. Which probably means you suck at any other task in life you undertake including painting, whatever type of brush you use, which I presume was an XXXXXL size this time around anyways.
I don't recognize your screen name, but that doesn't really worry me muchThat is ok, I understand. You would not probably recognize your own screen name either, and therefore have to rely on the forum password and login remember features to not be left forgotten. Prolly you are one of these that need to create a whole new account each time the system asks you for your log in details again for security from time to time eh? Of course you are.
I would not bother dwelling too much into your question about if we know who you are or not. Try asking the question around and see the ensuing amusement. Aren´t you the one who lost to another short-term-memory-only individual and had thousands of posts publicly aired to celebrate it?

Gojiro's a bleedin' Dane. We may need Lars to translate.
We got anybody who can translate Lars?
How could I be Danish and deny Global Warming all at the same time! Disapointed in your obvious lack of quality grey matter. People travel sometimes you know.
But then again, what can you expect from a provincial hillbilly living in Akron, Ohio, where East Avenue is located on the West part of the town?
-
He appears to have a derrière fixation. Freud would have something to say about that.
Michael
Nah, Freud's overrated. His theories are largely criticized now as lacking in substantial corroborative data. Kinda like Global Warming or the relatively imminent release of CMx2:N.
-
Strange indeed. In my short ToW experience the "ground attack" order has been working fine.
Are you really sure it was not shooting? If the LOS and LOF were clear there should not be a problem. If that is the case then watch the gun and shell loading miniscreen and ammo counter to see when the shell is loaded and shot so to make sure. Does it show the shell si ready (green dots filled up) but just not firing? What do you read at the log miniscreen?

And from an SSN, to boot. The horror, the horror...
Michael
The SSN revolt, chapter 43b-section I
42. Elder pooligans are inferior to SSN because they are not SSN (I. M. Prehhty, EP's and the Truth of Equality 1946, Legit Press)
B. EP´s are in the pocket of the Reactionary pooligan Media. (Poor's Piss Plahnh, EPs are in the Pocket of the Wrong Media 1999, All's good Magazine)
7. EP's should be shipped back whence they came, no real reason why.
11. EP´s have big fat bums and are therefore incontinent. Since they are incontinent with their big fat bums, we should hate all of them forever and either revolt which is rightgeous or ignore them. Sure wish we could ignore them but the damn reactionarians and forum moderators get upset about that idea, and they are sooooo incontinent with their big fat bums that no other forum will take them. ITS A FACT! I READ IT IN A BLOG (Gene Poole, Big Fat Bums Make You Incontinent and Its Genetic, 2001, Grande Culo Friends et al.)
B3.7~2 Et cetera et ad nauseam, SSN dixit

Actually more like sudden continental-drift-originated mountain ranges in the way. Some may even need auxiliary oxigen to get to cross it, I d say.

When I play 'Dominions 3', as I create them I'm allowed to rename my various Generals, Mages, Priests, Psychotic Bloodlords, Undead Horrors, etc.
Generally, rather than go with the game generated names, I take the time and effort to name them after the folk here on the Peng Challenge Thread. So, in the game, I'm playing with characters with such names as 'Berli the Evil One', Shaw Justicar, Boo Radley Henchman, Peng Eviltongue, Emrys Bitterlord, Lars Ironhead, Stuka Lackwit, Mace Drunklord, Nidan Dogsoldier, etc, etc.
Dalem is usually my prophet.
It helps personalize them, and keep track of who is where in the game.
And, of course, there's that delightful little frisson when one of them gets whacked in a battle.
I could not care less about your generals names but, man, you must really suck at Dominions III. Everyone knows that Horrors are not Undead. Further, you can not rename Horrors as they are not recruitable, unlike Undead leaders. Geez.
Either that or you just forgot to type a comma in there... nah, you suck at Dominions III.

I'd be Aragorn. Steve would be Gandalf. Below is a re-enactment of him at the gates of the CM:N forum.
No, no, I called it first. You be halflings. In any event, Gandalf disappeared for a long time after uttering the words in your pic, so I really hope this silly game stops here. NOW.
-
For some reason that makes me think of that scene in Lord of the Rings where they can hear the goblins coming through the well in the Dwarven city.
Ok, we may be goblins then, but that would make you, your kind and BFC staff halflings! Emrys would be the Balrog of course. Now where is my preciousssssssssss
-
and crickets...
Oh, and the flies circling around my undies...Actually that doesn't go with the theme but I wanted to share.
Mord.
No, no, it does actually, specially if it comes along with some Italian produced, cheap harmonica, classic tune. Now who are then the Good and the Bad?
...........
So CM:N is an new game then ? not a module ?
in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

CM:Normandycraft (what with the new resource collection and unit life bar concepts in the game and all...)
