Vacillator

Hi @gildean, I have to report that Phil (Kohlenklau) has gone on self-enforced leave from the forum, I'm hoping just for a while. I'm trying to persuade him to come back of course as he is a colossus in the world of 'unusual' modding (my words not his ) and a great friend (same again). As for your question, I can't recall the answer. I have a feeling it might not need them but I'll ask him...

One heck of a conversion, at least for tank versus tank. The 17 pdr went in upside down I think I read, and a crew member had to be dropped? Or did I just dream the first bit of that...

That's not a bad deal . I assume if I have some of the titles in a Steam bundle it drops them off the bundle? If so I will of course need to register my WW2 titles as I haven't bothered yet. Just need to decide if I'm ready (or more importantly have time) for modern stuff...

Yes, I played it against @RMM with me as the Germans. I think he'd agree with you.

Nice instructions, to the point.

They may have done, but Steve already said they are all on the same page. And I agree with them.

Thanks for the advice George @George MC my friend, and thanks again for your great work. In the years I've been playing this great game, your scenarios have always been something special. And you make me think I should suggest Heart of the Dying Sun as a PBEM with @Ultradave. We've had to stop games because of crashes before, but perseverance paid off. Dave you can be Axis, sounds like it would be fun? Before that though I'm aware I need to get my teeth into the current challenge (CMBN In the shadow of the hill 0830)...

Me too! Happy New Year to you too. That first picture is great for camouflage, the tank (yes there's a tank) kinda merges in and out of the grass . And the second picture is disgraceful .

You did well it seems . Yes, it sounds like it. Maybe I'll suggest it to someone and offer to play as the Soviets .

I can't quite make out the numbers, and zoom just blurs them. They look big though . Did you play this single player or PBEM? If single, do you think it would make a good H2H? Of course @George MC might have advice on this.

So in case anyone else sees it, this is for PC-based PBEM players who have not signed up on Matrix/Slitherine for PBEM++. Getting to the end of a game, and the opponent presses ceasefire or surrender. Instead of getting the end screen with points tally and map review, you get red error boxes saying you haven't registered an account. I've had it in CMBN and CMRT in recent games. One was against my good friend @Ultradave who has logged it as a possible bug bleeding through from PBEM++ into the 'normal' world. If you do get the red error boxes just click through and do another turn (with or without orders). And maybe another turn... Eventually you'll get the end screen.

He doesn't look too happy, perhaps he's just spotted a Soviet welcoming party .

Great battle that one, @Ultradave and I played it and had a lot of fun. One of @George MC's fine creations I believe.

Yeah, I can live with that though. One of my failings in CM is to not get down to the ground as often as I should, so I don't see every detail on the wheels. Don't tell my opponents ...

As someone who never played CM1 (I'd like to say I'm too young, but that would be a lie) the only bit I don't like about those shots is the 'comic-style' crew members - oh and perhaps the huge star, but that might be correct? But anyway, we have the CM2 version about to come out of the closet...

I like that my friend, well said.

If only I was a 17 year old . My point wasn't about hours played, it was that I've tried the alternatives but choose to play CM.

I had some fun with one of them (Kharkhov 1942 I think?) and I liked the editor well enough. But as I said I spend all my time playing CM. There must be a reason, other than my stupidity perhaps .

I think I do too, I've tried most of those other games but what do I spend nearly all of my game time playing? CM.

And that is of course your choice, I've already bought it so my choice was different. I originally read your post as enthusiasm for the IR sights, but reading it again I see it was more about non-enthusiasm for night battles. I'm not so keen on night battles either, but the IR sight might add some fun (if it is included, which I'm still not sure about).

Well at least my lack of attention to reading the forum thread has put Chris front and centre for the forthcoming thanks . And no doubt the odd criticism like 'why wasn't the bicycle panzerfaust included?'.

This was proposed for F&R, by @benpark if memory serves. It didn't make it then so I'm not sure it'll make it now. I wouldn't mind being wrong though. EDIT: Some nice info about the sights here if you're interested; http://www.missing-lynx.com/articles/dio/rwpanth/rwpanth_solutions.htm

My apologies to @ChrisND, I should attempt to read more than just the latest post .

LOL. Yes you tried . And I totally agree with you for what it's worth.

That assumes someone who matters is reading the thread .
