  1. For the hours of fun these titles give,just buy it.My com fried last year,with it all my account details,passwords etc.To hell with it i bought the whole lot again and opened a new account.You might think these titles are expensive but they are well worth it.
  2. Don't send a squad up against a hedgerow,send two scouts.Once you find the two guys suppressed,then send a couple or more squads in at the same time.The MG won't be able to suppress them all,thus you will gain fire superiority and the MG won't be there for long either.
  3. The Bundle is up to date,after the patch and upgrade.If i remember the title was going to be a series of mods and BF took it's maker and project onboard and turned it into a game in it's own right.The V2 version was excellent anyway and was the first version of that particular engine into the bargain before CMBN.The next module,if it happens will probably be the one that takes it to V3.Now i'm guessing though.The bundle on it's own though is still very much playable. It's an age old argument that came with CMFI and the new engine also,people complaining about paying the extra for upgrading the other titles.BF has always said each version of the engine is still playable in it's own right,wether you want the goodies the new versions offer is entirely down down to yourself.They are not a patch,they are new versions of the game.
  4. The Stuarts do have HE rounds as well,they should be enough to deal with foxholes,with only a small gun compared to the Shermans,it's not as effective but should do the job.Trenches are another matter though,i would bring arty for those.Canister is mainly used for troops in the open. As far as falling back,if you have the enemy supressed,they are going nowhere.Ease off for a turn and let the Stuarts do their own thing,once they see a head popping up,they'll use the canister or HE alright.
  5. Yeah you can totally destroy an enemy position where the icon was and then move up.Only to find one or two guys that are broken and in cover or hiding,who in panic throw a grenade in your face,taking half a squad with it..................and there was much swearing.
  6. Think after purchasing the bundle you need 1.12 patch,the actual V3 upgrade will bring it up to 1.20 CMBN/CW/MG are 3.11 with the V3 upgrade.
  7. If you buy the bundle,it isn't upgraded to V3 of the engine.The CMBN and CW bundle are but the Italy bundle isn't.Mind you the upgrade isn't that expensive anyway.
  8. Upgrades,modules,scenario/campaign packs.Anything that adds to the current games.Count me in.
  9. Try moving too quickly through a minefield and you will be lucky if any of your guys make it out of it.Caught in a minefield,without engineers,hit the slow button and go back the way you came in.If it's the only way to go again slow or a risky move forward.At least on slow,they ll crawl and not set of so many mines.Time consuming yes but more chance of your guys staying alive.
  10. Have to say out of the CMx1 titles CMBB was my favourite so hopefully there will be more for Red Thunder.One thing Red Thunder did do was make me read up on Operation Bagration a bit more.This campaign was the one that broke the Germans back in the East,once and for all.So maybe not as well known but this one was the one that sealed the deal.So i can see that's why BF went with it.The opening of Barbarossa on the other hand was rather one sided and from a game play point of view might have not been so endearing to allied players.BF would have probably needed a whole new set of models also,thus having to spend more time on it. Personally,i'm happy with Red Thunder more modules will be icing on the cake.Like the battles in Russia itself,CMBB scenarios were endless within the modding community.Hopefully this series will get the same love.CM Afghanistan could have been a great title,shame it was a tad broken and didn't receive the looking after it needed.Mind you Black Sea has eclipsed that now anyway. If you're a WW2 Geek and addicted to CM,the period shouldn't really matter.As for getting more sales,a majority of the gaming community are into the eye candy games with their pretty graphics so CM wouldn't cut it with them,whatever the period.CM has never been graphically perfect but then again it doesn't have to be,it's the game play that counts,and on that CM is the best in the genre.Enough said.
  11. You get two Spits in one of the Market Garden scenarios and i had one shot down by an AA vehicle.Mind you,i wish the Germans had shot it down before it chewed up my American Paras.
  12. Haven't had spam in years but spam and chips was creme de la creme if you were totally broke.
