I have been playing CM since CMBO, the first time I played it felt like playing with plastic soldiers when I was a kid, except with rules... The game really makes me think about how to plan an attack that doesnt kill to many of my men, I have found the AI really challenging which for me is a good thing.. I still play WEGO, I think it is essential, I like to watch the dramatic moments like when your Bazooka or Panzerfaust team take out a tank or when your mortar or artlillery stike hits right on target and causes mayhem among the enemy infantry, what makes this game special is it simulates what I imagine to be the chaos of war and that's why I am still playing it it

Hi, I have been playing CM since CMBO, amazing series of game's!! Last night I was playing the Last defence, I had a few "moments", possible spoilers ahead..... My poor GI's had been pushed back into the town under pressure from the Tiger tank, numerous half tracks, panzergrenadier squads and 2 assault guns. as the panzergrenadier's started to get near the south eastern side of the town next to the corn field, my Mortar section commander who had a good view of the battle called down a heavy mortar strike on top of them, within a minute or 2 mortar shells where landing among the Germans causing chaos and many casualties and thus helping to break up the attack, I think I actually cheered aloud when the mortar's found there target lol The second moment came when one of my M10 tank destroyers knocked out the Tiger which was in the middle of the town.. The Tiger had battered its way into the middle of the town causing lots of casualties, the M10's had arrived as reinforments behind the hill at the north end of the map, I set them to hunt over the top of the hill and maybe get into a hull down postion if I was lucky, one of the M10's caught 1 of the assault guns by surprise and knocked it out with one hit into thin rear armour. In the meantime the Tiger had turned and exposed its flank to fire at some infantry in one of the buildings, luckily my M10 was just coming over the crest of the hill, and with the turret on the Tiger being very slow turning the M10 got 3 penetrating hits in, the last penetrated the side of the Turrent and and knocked out the Tiger.. yes I cheered again
