I can't get the UI to work on my iMac
Coaxial Puppet replied to MOSwas71331's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
.I use the controls exactly how posel71 does in real time and wego and can get wins against the ai and people. It took about a day to get used to it. I'm playing on 1.5 year old macbook pro -
67 years ago today my grandfather experienced combat for the first time.

boo!. Just kidding. The extra anticipation will just make it more enjoyable!

Players needed for CMBN Normandy 44
Coaxial Puppet replied to noob's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
I'm interested. Side doesn't matter. I'm in maryland so east coast time. I'm good for at least a turn a day. -
I'm having the game quit when trying to load the map as well. I'm on a mac.

Not as much fun as previous games.
Coaxial Puppet replied to gautrek's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
I missed out on CMSF since I own a mac. I enjoyed CMX1 greatly but I have found CMBN to be more immersive and a hell of a lot more fun. I just started a pbem in the demo with my brother in addition to a few others I have going in the demo and full version. I believe he is now talking on purchasing it soon. It took me about 5 minutes to get used to the interface. I also use the keyboard for camera controls and find them to work nicely. My brother who only has dabbled in the cmx1 games has picked up on the UI pretty quickly too. It will be hard to play any of the CMx1 games again. But I think that will be a good thing. I can't wait to get some snow in this game but I have plenty to occupy me right now with all these hedgerows. This is the game of the year for me. -
Check in if you love RT!
Coaxial Puppet replied to bobo's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
I am for WEGO. I mean to play plenty of pbems and I need all the practice I can get. I also usually watch turns at least 2 times to see things on different ends of the battlefield. Like a good commander I take the time to know my guys. I've played some rt against my brother and its fun. Wish there was LAN wego but I'm fine with mailing turns. -
Any official reviews yet?

Maybe they went to play it and just became to engrossed to be bothered to write a review. -
First Impressions (CM:BN Full Release)
Coaxial Puppet replied to Manx's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
This game takes up all of my free time now. The campaigns are exciting. I didn't get to try SF as I have been a Mac guy for a while now. I always feel that I have lost more men than I really have. Maybe its because when I see a spot littered with bodies I'm still thinking its the larry, curly, moe representation. After a few days of playing, I think I am starting to get a hang of this bocage situation and am enjoying. I've had some devastating close combat go on. There really is no better feeling than flanking some germans and catching them in an open field. -
Making CM:BN more like CMx1-mods?
Coaxial Puppet replied to Lt Bull's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
I agree that the fuzzyness adds greatly to the game. I've had some awesome battles that might not have been as fun if it was a cm1 game. I don't think the command lines are needed much. I really haven't missed them in the least. -
First Impressions
Coaxial Puppet replied to Sixxkiller's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
I have been having a blast with the demo. I never played any of the CMSF as I am now a mac user. its good to be back in Normandy. Time sure has passed, I was just a young teen when the CMBO beta demo was released. I'm just happy it runs on my computer and so I went and put my order in. I look forward to getting destroyed by all of you once the full game is out. -
CM:BN Beta AAR/DAR Bois de Baugin US side
Coaxial Puppet replied to BFCElvis's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Tonight! I've really enjoyed reading them. I've got that same butterfly feeling I had when reading the legendary alpha aar back in the day. Great work! -
Remember these two battles on CMBO?
Coaxial Puppet replied to Danny Chung's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Reisenberg was a fun one. I remember being excited as can be reading the Alpha AAR. I haven't posted here in ages, had to make a new account. Been lurking once a week. It feels like Christmas again and it's only been a week or so.
