Heh, ill be doing lots of maps, i see great promise in the game engine. For starters theres BoB Iwo Jima Saipan Leyte gulf Guadal canal Okinawa France campaign (1944) Galipolli Iwo jima i think will be the best.

Maybe its scared theres japs in the city with sharpened bamboo sticks?

BTW, has anyone made a battle of britain scenario? ? i dont want to compete and also if they havent i can plan the airbase locations ad strengths. Notes to self 800 brit planes approx 2500 nazi approx

I'm interested in joining, ill sign up to the forum tomorrow

Anyone had a go at the map yet?

Hm i had always been interested in for liberty, never bought tho. will have to!

Version 0.2 Based on the epic movie, A bridge too far. The scenario is marginally faithful to the film, and is a pretty good play. The allied objective is to reach the end of the road quickly. DOWNLOAD - http://www.mediafire.com/?3ai4wml52mm Notes for self for next Ver. Couple more German MG's 1 German tank (tiger?) Reduce the game length to simulate the need to move on quickly

the only Sub vs sub kill i ever heard of was a case of semi accidental submerged ramming

watch 'the battle of britain' and 'A bridge too far' Nuff said.

take a look at ageod's wars in america, i find its easily the best AWI game (of a very limited number) and generally fun too, though playing against players is far superior to the ai. i think any other game should basicly be the same, only have some tactical aspects (as WIA is strategic only). AWI is such an interesting war too.

dammit. how did i miss preferences.

can you do it?

Anyone interested? ive only gotten back into CM recently and its hard going finding opponants!! my email is... shaunchattey@hotmail.com newbies prefered as i havent played in a long time thanks!

Thanks for the detailed answers, Im a great enthusiast of history, but some of us are still ballistics newbies

sorry to have dumbed down a complex issue i was aware even if correct, my statement was grossly simplified, apologies. Do you know of anywhere i could read about this subject? specifically the very things we are talking about, artillery pieces and armor penetration? As you are aware, my knowledge on the subject is.... limited. Question - IF a 42 cal gun is generically 'better' than a 24 cal short gun, then why use short barrels at all? (i have often wondered this in ignorance), is it the weight of the artillery piece? and the 88/L56 trumps both due to increased weight AND velocity. Saying that , a pak 42 has # Caliber: 7.5 cm # Barrel length in calibers: 70, the velocity of this gun is 20% or so higher than the 88, with a 10% lesser round? seems a superior weapon to me? Edit* scratch that last Q, i understand now. 'That's one of the things that made the German 88 such a fearsome long range tank killer. It still had a lot of its muzzle velocity even after it had traveled 1000 meters.'

Indeed, the demo is generous though! like 6 months playing the demo map

By this, i am thinking that the 57mm will be more accurate and can fire longer range than a 75mm due to the lighter weight, but the 75mm can pack more of a punch at a closer range? Surely the 75mm is placed in a more powerful gun, thus giving it more kinetic force to counterbalance the increased weight? my silly question.

I can play SC2 Blitzkrieg, if anyone is interested. Shaunchattey@hotmail.com

Heh you have to do that on dominions 2, its quite a reasonable work around

I bought SC1 recently, using vista 32 and it works absolutely fine, no problems at all.

Anyone still playing this? used to have a big fanbase i'd be willing to do Overlord or barbarossa pbem if anyone is interested.

too. complex. brain. hurt. Yes, thats sarcasm

lol god dammit. I just made a map of Britain with the intent of using it for a battle of Britain map, until i realised you cant save with the demo!! :eek: Its not a problem though, the map editor is amazing, i merely painted over the overlay and the map was done! Not bad is it? When i buy the game in the next few weeks, ill make a BOB map/mod. Ill no doubt have to increase the range of aircraft, to represent the more local scale of the map, other than that it should be fine. Then i can do my British duty and defend the motherland against the hun! *ps map took me about 5 mins to make

'One solution to my mind is to make two different types of tactical air arms: one naval air, and one ground support' I think this is a great idea, it would solve the problem entirely!
