but hey I'm assuming you're playing CM for it's realism
I am - in how it models combat. When I'm in the mood for a quick game, give me some infantry and a few tanks.

I agree. When I have a couple hours to kill, it would be great to jump on with another guy and go at it instead of hoping your PBEM opponent will send you his turn.
I would love to try an IP game just for the heck of it.

You're not convincing me here. Have a Platoon level I can pick quick and easy.

Why is everything Battalion strength? What a huge hassle trying to amass a small force...unless I'm doing something wrong. How can this be done easier?
Also - are individual units more expensive than when purchased via formation?

I'll check it out...

Actually PBEM is better now than in CMx1 games.
You don't need email anymore.
??? How so?

Remember play-by-mail, where you picked stocks, and the "die roll" was the last digit of the amount of stock traded that day, converted onto a special chart?
Indeed. I had a game of Air Assault on Crete under my bed for 6 months while we slugged it out via snail mail. No small feat! That was a long board.

That game along with Air Force/Dauntless was heaven on earth. I've always been partial to tactical level games. Midway...Sniper...the NJ Wargames Club in Edison, NJ. Sniff.

Ahh, my first wargame. It was out a few years when I bought it. I started when I was 13. Do the math!

Wow. How did they goof that one up? Maybe I should have stayed back in 2001.
oh well. It is prettier. And 2.0 has a Pause feature so I'll have to get used to it.

What was your handle back then?

Long time but if it wasn't Pktaske I'm pretty sure it was Recwyte. I'm hunting through some old stuff. I remember a couple guys that were pretty darn good. Think I have old documents somewhere that have names I can throw around.

I'm new to BFN but did CMBO big time back in its heyday. PC battles were OK but going H2H is where its at for me. I used to participate in lots of tourneys and loved going online and jumping into QB's with other mates by swiping IP's. I forget exactly where this was but could it have been hosted by Battlefront itself? We're talking 10+ years ago.
Anyway, does a similar community exist today? The only suggestion listed imagine in these times there isn't an even better way to connect in real time vs.we did a decade ago (please tell me I'm right!).
I'd even be willing to run a tourney if someone can point me in the right direction.
Sorry I took the easy way out here and posted before searching. I'm going to delve into the forums now to see what I can unearth. Hopefully there is a thriving chat room somewhere that I can join!

Love to but thats way more than I can chew right now. See my other post.
Long load times
in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

Running PBEM games, the bigger ones sure take a long time to load. They love hanging at 29% sometimes for 2 min or more. I'm assuming its a PC problem but any tips to speed things up? Thanks...
