Damn, I was hoping for a 0.

pawter, I think it would be great if you designed your own, more realistic, game. Then we would all be able to experience the pinnacle of wargaming realism.

There's no unease for me. If I had enough in my budget to upgrade my PC every 3 months I figure I'd also have enough in the budget to buy another copy of CMBN. I regularly read on forums about people spending $1000+ for a new PC to be able to play a new $50 game. But spending $50 to buy a game because you're spending $1000+ upgrading your PC is a problem?

I have bought 5 PCs in the last 20 years, so it's going to be difficult for me to get upset about this.

Don't be silly. Reading the instructions is for when all other options have failed.

Steve, will pixeltroopers fire at an enemy target that is obscured by a friendly unit? If so, does the aiming point change if the friendly unit gets out of the line of fine?

I forgot all about Richthofen's War. I loved that game. I played Squad Leader and Panzer Leader in high school. Got away from gaming in college. After college I sort of switched back and forth between flight sims like Red Baron and European Air War and wargames like Close Combat and Steel Panthers. Not sure how I found CM:BO, but I thought it was great. Also bought CM:BB and CM:AK. Then I got back into flight sims with IL-2 and Rise of Flight. Now I'm back to CM. I spend way too much money on games...

You misspelled "laid".

I'd love to see the tank treads tear up the grass, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Not sure of the origin of the faux Stug, but I don't think it was a M113. All I know for sure is that it was used in the filming of "Band of Brothers". According to IMDb "The art department reconstructed four World War II-era tanks, using the frames of Soviet T-34 tanks from WW II and British Army Personnel Carriers as the foundations."

The grass mod is "Grass airfield with no rain in last 3 months".

Why do the American tanks deploy smoke when they come under fire, but German tank 3 does not? It seems like some smoke would have helped cover it's attempt to redeploy. Is that due to equipment or tactics?

If you are interested in seeing some of the Allied equipment in this game up close and pretending to shoot at people pretending to be Germans, there is an event in Massachusetts that you should check out: http://www.collingsfoundation.org/cf_OpenHouseEvents11.htm Some photographs from last year...
