Pre-orders for Fire and Rubble are now open!!
Vacillator replied to BFCElvis's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Well spotted, that was the other 'large AFV' in the QB (let no-one make the mistake of calling it a tank ). Its services were however not called upon as far as KOs were concerned. -
Archer Tank Destroyers facing wrong way?
Vacillator replied to Andy_101's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
If that's the best drinks and nibbles they had to offer I'm surprised anyone turned up . -
With all due respect to anyone and everyone, that does not match the images I had in mind . But perhaps CM:Amazons is a jump too far. A jump, why did I say that? Begining to think I'm not the only one to be crossing the line today .

Lifeboat ethics: Is murder justified by necessity?
Vacillator replied to Childress's topic in General Discussion Forum
It certainly looks like a cheerful way of passing the time . Edit: Is it multi-player? I could join you for a midnight feast? -
PC Graphic Card Choices - Any views welcome?
Vacillator replied to Holien's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
And here I am on an i7 laptop with a GTX 1060 and I think it's great. Looks like the credit card may be required again... Having said that, the other gamer in the house has a far better setup, including a 240Hz monitor (which I'm told is a necessity for Fortnite ). -

Can your crew eat you? -
Now that brings a few images to mind . Can you mod them?

Assuming you ever get tired of war, what do you play?
Vacillator replied to markshot's topic in General Discussion Forum
I'd buy that for a few dollars. CM:Rome, Carthage, Egypt etc. It might get a bit like Total War but would be a lot better. Anyway, that's still war, so not allowed in this thread. Game-wise I'm a bit stumped, but I play music quite a bit - does that count? -
Okay that's it, where are my clippers? Working at home means it's the perfect time for it, although the Amazon delivery drivers might raise an eyebrow .

My lips are sealed. Apart from to congratulate Elvis. If it makes anyone feel better, the star of the above show was the vehicle in the bottom right, not the unmentionable one. -
I think we should all be proud of the inclusive nature of this fine forum. But golf?

Frustrated by this recent CMCW announcement . . .

LOL, shall we draw up an invite list? And I see that this thread has just gone 'HOT' -

You are most kind, and the same in reverse . Now let someone say 'you two should get a room' . -

Vacillator replied to Double Deuce's topic in Combat Mission Cold War
Sorry my friend, I was probably being pedantic. Not knowing the original targetted release date, I can only speculate that it has been delayed. But you're right I'm sure, as it has been a while . Now let the wrath rain down on me . -

Yours, I take it? It is awesome, I agree, excellent work. Here's a shot of the 'road to flailing doom'... -

And I will say that discussion of the 'delay' to F&R has only slightly distracted me from playing FB, BN, RT and FI . -

FB. Don't think BN has Jagdtigers? -

Vacillator replied to BFCElvis's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Total Victory came up before I had a chance to KO everything (and also before I could capture Poteau), but out of curiouslity I have just played to the end from the last save I made, several turns before the end. This time I knocked out 11 (!) flail tanks. Remaining on the map at the end review were two 'normal' Shermans (one broken, one shaken) and a sniper team (shaken). And in case anyone is wondering I had selected US Mixed force . I have the setup turn .bts file if anyone is that interested, but as mentioned it was a bit of a 'Quick' QB so unless you like a bit of easy destruction it might not be worth it. -
They're both already in Red Thunder, so I don't think they'd take them out again for F&R.
-
Choosing only one of your extensive list , this may explain why last night two Shermans drove straight over my Pioneers and departed, never to be seen again. No shots were exchanged...

Archer Tank Destroyers facing wrong way?
Vacillator replied to Andy_101's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
I have had these in game, for example in FI. The P47 (I think) turned up and strafed and bombed for several minutes (hitting mostly Americans), perhaps distracted by a bit of fire from my flak halftrack. The Germans then dismounted and ran away, not sure why. But yes the backwards orientation is similar. I thought a movement order applies to the vehicle, irrespective of gun orientation? -
Busting blocks in Berlin perhaps?

Archer Tank Destroyers facing wrong way?
Vacillator replied to Andy_101's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
Archers' guns were mounted facing backwards; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archer_(tank_destroyer) I haven't tackled this in-game but imagine it causes a few issues... -
But also (I'm told elsewhere) the Jagdtiger has been ported across and textured. Not a Panzerfaust bicycle, a Jagdtiger! I'm happy to wait some time for that, even if it's actual use in RL was a bit limited. Mental note - check when the Tank Museum at Bovington re-opens for visitors .
