  1. Game bundle is successfully ordered. Now I just has to wait a few weeks.
  2. YES. Game is successfully ordered. Now I just has to wait a few weeks.
  3. I like to think that the CM community is a welcoming environment for women. We are, for the most part, mature and rational. (PENG not withstanding) And we mostly grasp that its more whats between your ears that counts, as opposed to whats between your legs. Our few douchebags tend to keep their failings to themselves, or to express it as politics... ie; taking Nazi fanboyism too far. All in all I think women should feel safe on our forums, and in our community
  4. Farley Mowat wrote "And no birds sang". His personal experiences and impressions as a soldier in Sicily
  5. The fund is building. The demo is great, and I'm putting money aside to buy the game.
  6. CM Poland '39, France '40. (every adventure needs a begining) Combat Mission Rising Sun. (Japan at war) Combat Mission Colonials (all the poor brown folks who fought and died for their ungratefull colonial masters) Combat Mission forgotten Fronts. (all the little stuff nobody cares about)
  7. Methinks it would read a bit more like... Comrade section leader Nemko was stuck. The only way forward was through a small sewer pipe, half full of who knows what, and too small to shove a man OR a spool of wire through. He looked back at his two subordinates. Vlad Patrovich was just as stumped as his commander. Mila Ladoch snarled at them both "Stupid men". She shoved her rifle at Vlad, and grabbed his PPSH. The trade done, she took the loose end of the wire in her teeth, and lunged head first into the pipe. "Could you give me a push?" she hissed back at them. Vlad considered leaning on the arse cheek that was still out in the air, then grabbed a boot instead... and pushed it into the darkness. "better to die from facisti bullets than female rage" he thought. A wise man indeed. As Mila crawled through the filth, her comrades dutifuly fed wire to her. Both gratefull it wasnt them in the darkness.
  8. A youngish woman with no bra... especialy a teenager living on army rations... casts a smaller shadow. Trust me on this.
  9. just hope my fossil of a computer will handle it.
  10. This is a typical "mixed" force. 41 tanks, and a lone BREN gun team.
  11. I'd play it. WW1 was a facinating war. and it was more than just the trenches in Flanders. The Turks fought a full scale invasion of russia, then held off the English at gallipoli. And finaly tried to keep the various arab uprisings contained. The turkish invasion of russia included tens of thousands of Palestinian conscripts who first declared their independence in 1915 by deserting en-mass, and returning home to elect the first king of Palestine. The ANZAC cavalry, and Indian Army were deployed against turkey as well. This was mobile warefare, with smaller units, and little heavy artilery. Then there were the German colonys in Africa which tied down vast English armys. A WW1 game based on the campaigns OUTSIDE europe, would rock.
  12. And I think there was an earlier agreement that was in force during WW1.
  13. Ah Peng. Last defiant stand of the late stage syphilitics, after the brain rot has pushed them into the corner
  14. One of the few who knows which end of the horse is which. Why does that depress me?
  15. The "free French" would of course speak Berber or Arabic. Only the officers and NCOs were french
  16. A What If scenario cannot be run without considering ALL the parameters. The only hope Germany had was this... That A) the british were stopped from escaping from Dunkerque. And that Hitler's plane crashed while approaching Paris. With no army, and with Hitler dead, Churchill might have negotiated with Goering. Especialy if Goering had offered the Italian colony of Libya, and the French colonys of Syria, Algeria, Tunisia, and Morroco to Churchill. And offered to alow a rump state of Poland within german Poland. You will notice that all of this has to take place before the end of september 1940. Chancelor Goering could then keep the Soviets off ballance by secretly training Estonian and Latvian anti communists, armed with captured British and French weapons... and using then to keep a guerilla war going in the baltic. Meanwhile all german jews would need to be restored to full citizenship, and offered compensation for the harm suffered under the Nuremberg laws. A teary eyed Goering could overturn those laws, and open the internment camps to foreign inspectors, while sobbing about that dasterdly Austrian usurper and his cruel secret policys. Send Himmler and Dietrich to Geneva to stand trial, and break up the SS. At the same time, the Polish rump state is ruled by a military junta and a body of counts, barrons, and princelings, that knows exactly which side its bread is buttered on. They wont want to cozy up with Stalin any time soon. Meanwhile in the west, Goering strips France, Holland, and Belgium, of everything of value, or military usefullness. And withdraws to a defencible border that puts Alsace on the German side. With this in place, and NO luftwaft bombings of british citys, a peace could be possible.
