The Panther was complex, complicated, expensive, and finiky. It was mechanicaly unreliable, and prone to breakdown. It required a huge logistics train. It was severely underpowered, and overweight. It was very expensive to produce. It was an excellent long range tank killer. Ideal for defence across open steppes... but could not be swung around and rushed to another sector without railway support. It was an engineering marvel, but far too specialized to be a good tank. The M4 Sherman was a simple and reliable, general purpose tank. It was better than adequate in every role. (ie: fair to good/very good) It was easy to repair and maintain. It was also cheap to build. It could (and did) cross europe under it's own power. Something no Panther could do. The Sherman was an excellent tank by virtue of it not being excellent in any one area, but fair to good in most, and very good in a few. It was a go-anywhere-do-anything tank.

A small op. Under-strength border guard company defending against overhelming German attack.

this. In the CMx1 games, I tended to treat my units as real people. You give me a German company, and I guarantee you I will give my units lives outside the game. Hauptman Krebs is a secret anti-nazi conspirator who regularly corresponds with his old prewar CO Klaus Staufenberg. (yeah, that one) Lt Bekker is fresh out of the accademy, and he worries constantly about how he can earn the respect of his platoon. Sgt Wolk is an old veteran who cares for his troops like they were his children. etc etc etc. Once I get this game, I expect I'll be doing the same thing.

I could try to fill in... I might need a bit of help though "BAW!! Den durned nig nogs iz infeareur to mi BAWWWWW!!!!!!!!" Was that good? Did it sound convincing?

Still at it.

They had the best bondage gear!!! They should have won!!! BAWWWW!!!

Ok. I applyed for a credit card. I'll know in a week, if I can buy the game or not. ... ... ... This would be easyer if I could just send a money order to BFC.

I never left. I just changed my ID because a lady demolished my computer.

Just play. If you are up for a PBEM in CMBB. I can be dragged from my torpor at danlbeaulieu@gmail.com. The Bitter End is a great scenario. I'll be axis

It's not the priest I'm worried about... it's the choirboys.

Vaudeville songs, and '20s and '30s era jazz. Maybe a bit of traditional skiffle there as well.

Ah Peng. Where the prized nuggets of the world's great proctologists are proudly displayed

A fellow Ontarian. Wespes are fragile things.

I'm in both camps. but in the same subset of those camps. I want to win, as the side that lost... on 11 June 1944 exactlly 1km northeast of Carentan at two oclock in the afternoon. I HATE mirrored maps with perfectly balanced forces. You know that German officer cadet who fell and broke his back on a training exercise on May 2nd 1944, just days before recieving his commision? Yeah.

I know... I just have moral and ethical issues with the whole culture of credit and debt. I've spent years raging against it, and now find myself unable to avoid becoming part of it.

After consulting with the girlfreind, I has decided to give in and get a credit card. 26 years of telling credit card companys to go away... over.

At 44 years of age, I still deal in cash. I've never had a credit card in my life, and whenever I've ordered something it's always been either COD or purchase via money order. Certainly I would send a money order to Battlefront Co Inc. Yes I still use a rotary dial phone.

There are two game stores. Neither can order anything. There are two electronics stores. Same deal.

Oh. Not sold in stores.... great.

Ok, So where can I buy the game? Do any stores carry this game?

Neither local store has the game... I'm afraid I'm gonna have to order it. (not happy)

E-mail me a turn at danlbeaulieu@gmail.com

I still play CMBB. I'm just playing Failure on the Aksai for the first time. I'm trying to design a scenario for the retreat of the Italian 8th army. Is anyone else still actively playing CMBB?

The M3 Stuart is well armored for a light tank. The Panzer II is a stop gap vehicle that was never meant to engage serious opposition. It's 20 mm gun is weak compared to most tank guns. The M3 has the 37 mm gun. A much more powerfull weapon against tanks. It will eat Pz IIs for breakfast A single Pz III with infantry support would have served you better.
