Boeman Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 So what are we all getting at here? Lower levels of testosterone in an aging community is to blame for the lack of forum activity? Perhaps it's time to bring back the Peng threads? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I think it's just a matter of people taking longer naps. Less time to post. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigduke6 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I think it's because we've solved all the problems of the world, what's left to argue about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 KR, I wasn't driven away; I suffered a total life implosion, from which I'm only now after years beginning to emerge. I played no CM of any sort for several years (too debilitated and overloaded), and until I got the CMBN Demo (have played 2.5 games) had played only a couple of scenarios of Steel Typhoon, covering the second half of the Pacific War (first was Rising Sun) for Command at Sea, naval war with miniatures or cardboard overhead view counters, with my brother and a couple of his friends. Ed is one of the trio (Larry Bond (yes, the technothriller writer) and Chris Carlson being the others) responsible for those two, Fear God & Dread Nought, Harpoon and other goodies. I've got several scenarios in Steel Typhoon. Also, did a hypothetical battleship/battlecruiser confrontation and discovered the German naval 88s--the 11" on the Scharnhorst & Gniesenau & the Bismarck's 15" shot one range band lower than the British 15" and 16" guns, making for painful engagements. Had no idea those guns had such high velocities. The British are lucky the Bismarck lost the main director and aft director early in the actual clash, for it could've been really bloody otherwise. She'd just straddled the King George V when her director was torn off. Don't know how active I'll be able to be in the future here and on the CMBN Forum, given my very active, demanding blog, releasing a stunning new E-book, handling PR for same, doing Internet & radio interviews, etc. That said, I AM making progress in learning to play the game and have posted in several BFC Forums, on a bunch of topics.

Bigduke6 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 The forums ain't the same place without you John, whenever you weigh in here it's a good day for BFI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Bigduke6, Thanks! Made my day! Am very glad I got here just in time for the Mac version of CMBN. I find it somewhat perverse that dev is done on Macs, yet the Mac faithful have to wait and wait for their version to be released. I remember the halcyon days of yore in which release was simultaneous. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I remember the halcyon days of yore in which release was simultaneous. It's simultaneous now. How'd you get the idea that it isn't? The only things that are not out on the Mac are the SF family of games, and that is promised as upcoming. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Michael Emrys, I know CMSF did not have simultaneous release, for there are threads wondering when the OS X 10 version would/will be out, and I got the impression the Mac version of CMBN came out a year after the PC version, but maybe I misread something? So many of the BFC games are PC only, and that saddens me. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 John, understood; I just didn't think a misapprehension should be allowed to stand uncorrected. Glad to see you back on a full time basis. You've got a lot of catching up to do, so don't be afraid to ask (not that I've ever noticed that you were). Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were the case the Mac version would have been released just a couple of weeks ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had no idea those guns had such high velocities. That's the kind of total life implosion I could be happy with. Actually, by that measure it seems my life has been imploding for years.
