  1. saw it. Wasnt bad, as a kid's movie. No grog could sit through it without having a stroke
  2. At this rate, my daughter will be the one playing the early war scenarios since I'll be too old.
  3. You had a bad day. I've seen panthers taken out by those little 45 mm pop guns. I've seen panthers shake off 155 mm rounds like raindrops. it depends
  4. the 82 mm mortar is your friend. Use a off-map battery of 82s to pummel your enemy while you get close. Send in SMG squads while keeping LMGs and rifle squads back as overwatch. A few flame throwers can kill the bunker from behind once you clear a path for them.
  5. Some have the single man. Others have multiple men. Two, or three depending.
  6. it seems to me that the Germans were not big on the commanders machine gun. Bow and co-axial were the standard.
  7. The ability to import saved games, complete with on map units (imported units are locked until game starts)
  8. could be. personaly i like the game. it sometimes has its crappy moments, but so does real life. Watching your lone tank get killed by a random stray mortar round, just before the enemy tank walks into your perfect ambush, tends to make me want to throw furniture. But that's life.
  9. Oh yeah... That one... Yeah. I remember now.... I never beat that one. Borg spotting was a killer. What was the range from ridge to the forest cover again?? About 1500 meters or so?
  10. Refresh my memory. Its been some time since CMBB. It didnt come with the game (CMRT). Although there must be a player who has made, or is trying to make, a CMRT version of it.
  11. Personaly I rather like CMRT, and its related games of the same era. The camera system works smoothly and easily. In a world dominated by FPS games, and army builder games that depend on mindless zerg rush... CM represents a better quality of game, for a better quality of player. Concealment and spotting is sometimes tricky, but usualy pretty realistic. The multiple layers of AI make for a realism you dont find in army builders like C&C, Starcraft, and Cossacks. Your troops respond like human beings, not mindless mooks. It does require a bit of thought and planning. You cant build more units, or upgrade units. You have to make the best of what you have. This may alienate a lot of idiots who would otherwise clutter this board with "L33T" and other such dribble and drivel. But then... who needs them. We have a solid community of mature and semi-rational adults, most of whom can communicate in at least one language. And for those who cannot we have PENG. All in all a pretty good deal.
  12. I've had a similar experience, only in the opposite direction. In a QB against the AI, my T-70 spotted a panzer of some sort through a deep zone of trees, and pummeled it for over a minute. I save/surrendered, and took a peek. I had immobilized a panther G, and disabled it's gun. Happiest missmatch result EVER. IRL I have seen just how variable sight lines can be in summer forest. Gaps can be a narrow as your arm, but can run hundreds of feet. If you are in the right spot you can see out into the open, and beyond. Step a mere half a pace to either side though, and you cant see past spitting range. Your SU 85 got lucky.
  13. Oh the frustration. Since the new computer and Windows 7, I find that the old trick of {print screen} and then going to MS paint no longer works. It was great on XP... but now??? So I can no longer make screen captures. Sad.
