Bravo, bravo.

Merry Christmas thanks for all the hard work done and to be done. Now just shudup and take my money. CMFB let's roll. Oh and all the other stuff can't wait. CMBS come on the BRITS some time in the nearish future. Pwitty please.

Don't buy it then.

Wiggums question "Hi BF are you going to do all these changes that I want in the game because its the only way im gonna part with $55". BF's answer "No" Simples, topic LOCKED and CLOSED.

She's a highland lass, which means she off her nut. Doesnt even whinge at me when a couple of sociables with some of my ex squaddie mates turns into a mega lash up lol.

Would be even nicer to see some turrets getting blown off though.

I can't see a big problem myself. I went to the pub on Saturday with the wife and spent about 60 pounds for 4 hours drinking time. Now in that time I had a good laugh and did some daft things. Now I was willing to pay that just for a few pints, I expect CMFB will give me more that 4 hours of play time so for £40 it's a winner. I mean really look at fifa every year they trundle out a 'new' game at the cost of 55 quid and it's not new it's just the old title with a few added bells and whistles and that's one of the biggest gaming companies around. The CM team is tiny compared to them and I would say they have put out more new content, with quality, compared to EA's pathetic fifa dirge. As has been said previous, you no likey, no buyie.

Yep and the same for the next position and so on then doubt begins to creep into Baneman mind and the clock is always ticking. It's gonna be interesting.

If it all goes to plan for Bil and this is just my assumption, he is going to frustrate Baneman make him get bored and annoyed from clearing houses and terrain features without actually killing anything substantial. Then when Baneman thinks right sod it I'm going for it, he's going to walk right into Bil's killzone, and then it will be a bloody day. That's my thoughts on it anyway.

Think I'll give that a watch later. Does it have subtitles can't tell just now I'm on my mobile.

Sign me, up I'm ready to send the red horde tumbling back to mother Russia. Damn it so need a tank moticon.

Bil is human, huzzah.

Don't think I would want a scenario AAR with totally balanced forces. IRL that doesn't happen generally if your the attacker you want/intend to have an advantage in some respect. And if someone has picked the wrong type of OOB in regards to his enemies force then tough luck that's war.

As far as the JTIGER goes since this is a showcase for the new bulge game I think he would have been strung up if he hadn't included one of the BIG cats. Plus I secretly think he really really wanted to use it anyway. What's the point of being selected as a player for a preview battle and not take out the new toy lol. Kiddie in a sweet shop springs to mind.

Loved it thanks for.taking the time to do the DAR it kept us.right I'm the middle.of.the action with some nailbiting moments. Good.luck for the defensive.battle.

Yeah I have to second that. I only started playing CM a few months ago and for any question I have posted I have always received helpful and informative answers with plenty of comedy thrown in, you'll learn that alot of the veterans here have blackadderesque humour. So don't be shy the forum here and over at FGM are not like some other games forums where people hammer you as a noob for asking a question. Hope you enjoy the battlefields and seeing your brave and glorious pixeltruppen getting blasted to pieces. Have fun.

It's gonna be interesting but I do believe Bil has the edge. Recon is going to be a major factor for pinpointing Baneman main concentration and Bil has alot of it and it's very mobile. I think he will be able to build his battle picture alot faster and his fast moving BG,s will enable him to choose when he wants to engage and on his terms. Whatever happens it's gonna be one he'll of a ride.

Me to

Thanks sttb, noted and will be applied any helpful tips are most welcome.

Yes almost there soon we will get to see pixeltruppen die glorious deaths for our entertainment. Good luck and bring on the big cats.

I actually read an interest snippet in regards to German tank commanders when facing IS2,s in that they would intentionally aim for track treads and wheel sprockets with HE to immobilise them first then manouver for flank shots. Not sure how true this is and I haven't had had a chance to investigate further. Not much use here but I found it quite interesting. Anyway can't wait for this AAR to swing into full throttle. Good luck Bil, against those big cats your gonna need it I think.

Some pics from my little game on Myth of Invincibilty playing as the Germans on Elite level. These two are just because i love the detail that goes into these mods, kudos to Aris's wounded faces mod. Destruction in the wheat field, T34-85's caught in a horrible crossfire of Panthers and Jagdpanzer |V, the line of dead SU76's is to the right rear in the tree line. The second assault wave that caught my Panthers at close range, my Panthers, with help from the Jagds gave a good account of themselves but still paid a price. 400m range both kill shots were on the lower glacis plates. Russian tank riders mowed down by my MG34's And again russian tank riders caught in enfilading fire from my HMGS and infantry squads in the buildings. My 81mm barrage laid on the hurt. The third assault wave from the right The aftermath of an HE shell from my kingtiger My AT gun killer VICTORY But the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves goes to Hauptmann Mueller in Panther 322 Look at that kill feed 30 inf and 6 T34-85's. And yes that is the Hauptmann's body lying next to his beloved Panther.

I have to say thanks for the rapid replies and as you said Bud B, no im not wanting to know the whys and where fors, but suggestions and tips of how to pick forces for QB's. Lots of nice pointers and tips. But as you gents are hinting towards, the best wat will be trial and error, maybe start with suggested picks then strip bits out and add a few bits and just play some QB's to get me going. So my next question ant takers on kicking a noobs arse. Bootie kicked my butt in a CMBS battle and Dennis kicked my butt in a RT battle, both scenarios so i may as well kick my record going and get my butt kicked in QB's, best way to learn anyway.

Now the scenarios that come with the game are brilliant but from reading all the posts on here I can see that QB's open up a whole new world of possibilities in regards playing human opponents and getting games quicker. However the selection of points and units etc seems, for a beginner quite challenging can anyone point me to a thread maybe where it is explained and simplified so as to make more sense of it. At the minute it seems to me a bit daft ie for a smaller QB you have to select units from battalion level and then delete what you dont want to get the size down, i mean why cant you just select an individaul company/platoon etc. and build your forces from there. Any help would be much appreciated.

Started playing this last night as the Germans after reading this post and I smashed the initial russian assault with some nice multiple crossfire lanes. I then began moves for my own counter attack and I move my panther Platoon far left near the Hungarian defensive positions on the holl and look and behold a second Soviet Tanks assault came in and unfortunately for me they have no problems penetrative panthers at 300m. Lol. 2 panthers down but my other 2 hidden amongst the buildings smashed this assault with some help from my Jajdpanzer 4s but they did pay the price with all of them getting knocked out.
