Ok got it but still I'm confused. I'm playing a QB pbem and my opponent says he is playing the battle like an assault while its a probe. So whats the difference then?

Hi, Whats the difference between: Probe Assault Attack Meeting Engagement ???

If you are looking for opponents then have a look here: http://www.theblitz.org/message_boards/forumdisplay.php?fid=221

Just to make Battlefront notice this again.

Greetings, Like the title says --> Can we please have a separated opponent finder forum? Thanks

Greetings fellow armchair generals, I'm looking for someone to test my (online) skills against. I prefer someone from Europe because of the time difference. But if one doesnt mind this then all are welcome. I'm from Holland. I'm a mature player with lots of experience in wargames. I'm a fun player and I only have one "rule": dont be a Starcraft player and zerg in turn 1! Zerging is no tactic!!! I'm good for a few turns a day. I'm a family guy and a cop so I got a busy life. Also I play WoW, but in between I'm always up for a few turns. We play with the following settings: Battle type: Random Battle size: Small Length of battle: 30min Map size: Medium Enviroment: Random Month: August Daylight: Random Weather: Random Rarity: standard Axis vs Allies ofc (I'm an Axis player) Combat force: Random Unit purchase: Human Map preview: yes Why all random? This way its fun and a surprise for both. Let me know if YOU are the one up for this and I'll pm you my email adress. I recieve a textmessage on my Blackberry if a new email is in. Greetings, Bram

Woke up around 07:00h, took the kids out of bed, walked downstairs, made breakfast, fired up my laptop... and what do you... ITS HERE! Sweet!!! I made a map right away and placed all the units just to have a look... :eek: Freeking awesome... at the moment im playing the first map of the Panzer Lehr campaign. Ill check in later about my findings. Thnx for the release!

Well I'm off to bed. Wife is nagging my head to come and the kids are up @07:00u. For those of you not living in Europe... Good luck waiting! I hope that when I wake up tomorrow morning the download is open. NN

I second that

22:00u overhere (Holland) and my WoW raid is over so im bored

I dont know exaclty where BFC is located so I dont know the time difference between there and here? LOL

My guess is that it will be released in the morning in the States... so afternoon/evening in Europe?

Yeah! :eek: All because one guy asked a simple question. I wonder who that guy was Must be a WWII strategy game lover? I wonder...

Its here its here its here... My Hello Kitty Advanture Island

Well I'm off for now... Kids are starting to wake up and wife is on her way home from work so back to the reallity of the day I got a lovely Blackberry telling me when new email arrive. I hope it will be hours otherwise back to raiding this evening (World of Warcraft n00b)

I think the guys from Battlefront are laughing so loud about all of us right now... hours.. no days... no hours... no ... WAAAAAAAAA RELEASE THE DAMN GAME

Well the thing is. Im from Europe and I dont want to spend $25 for shipping cost while I only want to download the game. Does this mean I can or can not pre-order the game? Cause the pre-order says "Download&mail" but I still need to pay the extra $25? Here you say that the pre-order download is ready. And indeed like one of the other members already said... Are we looking @hours or days?

Which will be sooner? The steelbox version or the downloadable version? Or both will be released at the same time?

Man this waiting is freeking killing me... I'm working the nightshift this week starting wednesdaynight and I got some time to play, so Battlefront guys? PLEASE RELEASE IT BEFORE WEDNESDAY! :D:D

Any idea when the real game will be released? It says "within the next few days" but any idea???

This is my new (1st) map. Its only pvp cause I dont know and cant script. If there is someone who is willing to script, please contact me. I dont have any scripts at all. So is there anythings I should know before uploading? June the 22nd 1941. Hitler is about to launch Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of Russia. German, Hungarian, Romanian and Italian troops stand ready. You can take command of 2 of the largest army’s the world has ever seen. Fight your way towards the city of Stalingrad or defend the motherland. There are no decision events. There is just one decision, to fight or die trying. General info: -Movement cost are all reduced to 0 (operational, transport and amphibious) - Turns are simultaneous -Spring 7 days, summer 5 days (good for summer offensive), fall 7 days and winter 9 days. -Most of the Russian troops wont be available before January 1942. By this time the German troops are knocking on the gates. Which will be very interesting. There will be a lot of Russian forces ready in July 1942 for the Russian summer counteroffensive. -objectives are: Axis: take and hold Stalingrad, the Kakausus and as much land as you can get. Russia: defend the motherland and puss the German army back. Axis: - HQ’s have 11 units under them. (kampfgroupe/ battle groups) -The German specialize in: Infantry weapons +1.5 and Anti-tank weapons +2. -Advanced aircraft +1.5 - Hungarian, Romanian and Italian troops have there weapon stats downgraded to -0.5 (Infantry weapons, Anti-tank weapons and the artillery) This is because they were poor troops in battle. -German special forces are SS troops Russia: -The Russians specialize in: Heavy tanks +1.5 and Artillery +2 + only 5% accuracy loss -The Stalin line consists of poor troops. They all have their strength reduced but are well dug-in. -As the Russian commander you start with only 30% industry so develop this technology fast. (+99 MPP a turn) This is to represent the surprise attack from the German army and the readiness of the Russian army. -Russian special forces are Guard and Shock troops. Model changes: German 88mm AT gun German SdKfz7/1 AA German Hummel artillery German army is represented by panzergrenadiers model German corps is represented by army model German lvl4 and 5 tank model switched (lvl4 Panther / lvl5 Tiger) Russian SU76 self-propelled AT gun Russian JS2 lvl5 tank Russian lvl2 tanks are T34 Russian transport models are T34 to represent the tankriders.
