[So, is it time to refresh my monkey then??]

Just don't spank it, here, OK?

[Next Week?]

This week is last week's next week, but of course, now it's this week. So no, I guess it's not next week yet. Of course, when next week gets here, it will actually be this week, so I am beginning to think next week will never really get here.:confused:

[It's April 12th...]

Er...this is a good start on the ACW:

[video CM:BN]

+ 1000 to this request

[Once CMBN is installed...]

Look for mods.

I'll probably head over to Scheer's place for a while, then head home and fire up the game, pick a scenario at random, and just stare at all the yummy goodness.

[Post Preview AAR and Discussion]

This thread was a bad idea, with a month yet to go. Reading about its yummy deliciousness is killing me.

[End of Battle Question]

In CMSF playing agasint the AI, I just go into the scenario editor and add a couple of hours to the scenario, to ensure I have time to maneuver and complete things my way...good or bad. However, I don't think you can do that with the QB, though since I haven't fired it up in a while, I'm not sure about that.

[Randomly Generated Maps]

"improved map making UI"

This would be really good, Steve. Making CMSF maps is certainly a chore... a happy chore, but a chore nonetheless.

[Battle for Libya!]

If I'm the sheep, I would still feel better being well-armed.

[CM:BN Pre-odered]

I just pre-ordered. Worth the $70 for download and DVD.

What...mostly a lurker, and I'm the first?

[Must See Movies: a "waiting" list]

"Breakthrough" with Frank Lovejoy. US Infantry in Normandy. It wowed me in 1950 at age 7. I've only seen it once since, about 20 years ago, and it was pretty damn good.

Oh, and "Night of the Generals" with Omar Sharif. Not much action, though, because it's a murder mystery/detective story within the Wermacht about 1944, but the action scenes which I think were in the Warsaw Ghetto, was pretty good.

[LIBYA? ....Anybody? Bueller? Anybody?]

Yes, but whose aging drag queen mod are you using for The Leader?

I was thinking more along the lines of Carlos Santana:

[Fallshirmjager]

Steve, bodkin...next time I'll try not to count after a few Captain & Cokes!

[Fallshirmjager]

Steve, the 2nd module will be M-G? I thought that was 3rd or 4th, with the Commonwealth module 2nd. Or did I miss a change from/misunderstand earlier plans?

[Super Bowl Pick]

Packers 31, Steelers 25

[Using Battalion/Company HQ’s, and XO’s in CMBN?]

CMSF: Zippo

CMBN: Rubbing two sticks together

[CM:BN Beta AAR/DAR Bois de Baugin US side]

All joking aside, sawomi got me thinking...

Steve, if you are reading this, will there be the ability to set booby traps (not that different from IED's in CMSF) in some later iteration of CMx2?

[A fun personal guess at CMBN's relase date]

For those of you who were/are fans of IL2 Sturmovik...two weeks!

[CM:BN Beta AAR/DAR Bois de Baugin US side]

Elvis,

As a life long Packer fan from back in the Lombardi years, I'm sorry you wasted a whole day there instead of preparing our next DAR installment!

I think I saw you in the stands.

Go Pack!

[Dick Winters has passed on]

http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/01/dick_winters_of_band_of_brothe.html

I hope it's OK to put this news here. It seems appropriate.

[CM:BN Beta AAR/DAR Bois de Baugin US side]

Thanks Normal Dude...yup, I've had very, very many losses to insurgents in CMSF and everyone of its modules, and CM:A, and so am very familiar with Buddy Aid!

[CM:BN Beta AAR/DAR Bois de Baugin US side]

Boy, good shots Elvis. Mouth-watering!

One question: Alot of the GI's have a rifle slung on their shoulders while carrying one in their hands...are these just animations-in-transition captured in freeze-frame, or rummaged from Buddy-Aid, or a glitch?

[CM:BN Beta AAR/DAR Bois de Baugin US side]

I'm loving every little bit of screenshot/explanation that Elvis and JonS are giving us through the AAR's. But I really like Gryphone's suggestion:

"A picture speaks a thousand words sure, but a video speaks a thousand times a thousand...."

Is it possible to put up a video on youtube of the action, or would that violate the NDA? Or has BFC/Steve already said no to that because the graphics aren't finalized?

Just asking, not complaining one bit. After 40 years of wargaming, having ASL Live, so to speak, is making me want to hump someone's leg!:eek:

[Find this a tad disturbing...]

Ali Baba, and I missing something? In CM:SF and all its progeny, I play RT only, and pause the game alot in order to collect my thoughts and issue orders, etc. I haven't played in about 6 weeks, but I'm sure my memory is still working (although I am having more "Senior Moments" lately) and I can pause the game at will. (Escape button,I think--I'm at work and can't check it..
