Warts 'n' all

With regards CM in general anything by Aris is worth having. Also, keep in mind that the mods site is in the middle of a massive update. For example the most recent update for CMFI has been for the Polish forces. I would suggest that you look at both cmmods iii and iv to find what you might like. If you look at the "General Discussion" page, there is a recent thread started by "Bootie" the great bloke who hosts the mod website.

Inspired by this thread I decided to give this campaign another whirl. two "Totals" for the first two missions. But yet again, I only managed a high casualty "Tactical" for the last one. My Shermans had a nasty habit of firing one round at the Pz IVs and then popping smoke and backing off, and guess who gets the first shot off when the smoke clears. Although this time I only lost four instead of five of them. Ho hum.

I said exactly the same thing to Tommy Fairfax just the other day.

It wasn't my cup of tea. But, I would encourage other forumites to give it a watch, after all we all have different tastes when it comes to CM videos.

A fantastic series of pictures. I'd have been calling the cowardly scout all of the names under the sun. Then cheered loudly as his mate shot the pistol packer in the back.

Hahahahahaha.

Hahahahahaha ... Thanks Mike. That is what comes of having an alta ego who closed the playhouses down. I do actually own a copy of "The Complete Works" but I'm ashamed to say I only got as far as "The Henrys".

Remember boys if you want to get to your Stag party in one piece, don't use Stug Taxis, they're so unreliable.

Something sinister in the wheatfield.

According to my records that is the one entitled "Last Defence". I don't remember fighting it at all, but somehow I managed a "Tactical Victory" despite losing 5 tanks.

Don't worry, the men in white coats are on the way.

Pathetic!

Yes, it has been a long time. I thought that it was a defensive mission.

On a more lighthearted note. CMRT_MSB ... Monte Seelow or Bust CMRT_BBBA ... Bury my Balalaika on Berlin Alexanderplatz

We have been asked to refrain from politics a number of times on this forum. Your use of the "b"- word crosses that line in my opinion. And just for the record, Stalin had killed most of the "Bolshies" before Mad Addy invaded.

No, it isn't. Ask the Greeks, New Zealanders, etc etc

"Bugger Brexit" as Georg von Saxe - Coburg und Gotha once said. Oops, sorry that was Bognor, allegedly.

I remember watching a whole series of videos made using v.2 where the maker repeatedly gave his troops movements that would cross restricted terrain, and or, he would he would trace the movement path through the side wall of the building. No matter how many times it was brought to his attention what he had done, it was always the game's fault, never his.

@0:19.. Looks like an Irish Telephone Box... Probably other countries had green ones as well.

WEGO is what got me hooked on Beyond Overlord.

No, I think BFC want it sell.

My biggest problem in the final mission of that campaign was a lack of doors. But, that is another topic all together.

When I play as the Germans and things go wrong I always howl, "Unter den Bloody Linden". Would make an apt title.

I can't help but think that the Upstart Crow might consider Fire and Rubble a rip off of his "Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble". Of course, being a puritan these things are a little bit outside of my normal every day life, or so Elizabeth tells me.
