Bullethead Posted December 15, 1999 Share Posted December 15, 1999 Thanks for the pix, Matt. That does look impressive. But what lit off the whole horizon before the ambush in the pix? -Bullethead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Big Time Software Posted December 15, 1999 Share Posted December 15, 1999 Hehe... the odd thing is that I was in the middle of finally touching up the Churchill/Croc texture set when I saw this thread. Thankfully the camera was kept far enough away from the thing that you can't see that it is still "beta" Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolColJ Posted December 15, 1999 Share Posted December 15, 1999 Ohhhh all the H2O being used up....brings out the Close Combat 4 in me ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ Check out my Combat Mission Beta Demo Tweaked Textures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted December 15, 1999 Share Posted December 15, 1999 I did the pictures. The houses and trees are on fire because I used the "burning house and burning trees" terrain files and set them up that way.. Steve, I am always thinking that the vehicles are final and then you tell me they are being improved on and that what I'm seeing is still a beta . I thought the Churchill was final, it sure looks good enough to me as is... Still, tweak, tweak, tweak is the job at this stage eh? ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverendo Posted December 15, 1999 Share Posted December 15, 1999 Oh, so you can initially set houses and woods on fire! That's a hell of a work saver (heh, pun NOT intended) In CC2 I was fighting for Son town... Too bad the victory locations I captured could easily fit in an ashtray. Seems like CM will follow the same rule... I have to be a hard fighter, since every town I lose to a PBEM opponent is just a pile of blazing rubble (have you notice that bad habit of the American's? They seek not to conquer, but to destroy!) I guess we can make some good scenarios with that 'burning terrain' feature... ------------------ Regards Reverendo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted December 15, 1999 Share Posted December 15, 1999 The Chruchill is *nearly* done. Look closely at the side mud flaps and the turret's baggage. Textures aren't lined up with the model, and vice versa. Not a tough one to touch up. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted December 15, 1999 Share Posted December 15, 1999 Mud flaps and baggage?!? My gawd, when you said detail, you weren't kidding Steve. BTW Madmatt and Fionn, the site is looking great.

Reverendo Posted December 16, 1999 Share Posted December 16, 1999 Well that's a point... Anyway if I had that amount of Shermans I would still be quite scared if I heard the word 'panzerschreck'... Call me Mr.Picky, but I prefer to do things neat and fluffy instead of the media circus I face against my fellow PBEM opponent. The only times he doesn't level towns, he uses his almighty 'Braveheart' tactic, and I have to say it works... That is, he plans carefully, but then he makes every unit 'Run' and 'Fast move'. About 60% of the casualties I take are from grenades and close-range fire. He's yet to win with this tactic, but I get mighty scared when I see all those men running towards my positions... ------------------ Regards Reverendo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guachi Posted December 16, 1999 Share Posted December 16, 1999 Reverendo, as you are not American I probably should have explained my reference. The Sherman is named after American Civil Waqr General Sherman. He is famous for his drive to Atlanta during which he pretty much destroyed everything in his armies way, including Atlanta. So my lame attempt at humor was because, for an American force with a bunch of Shermans, it is only natural to blow everything up. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverendo Posted December 17, 1999 Share Posted December 17, 1999 Sorry lad, I ken good old General Sherman but I had not heard about that bad habit of his... There are so many things we Scotsmen will never understand about America... If Panzerschrecks had been invented by the time General Sherman was wandering around, he would have been scared of them too, I'm positive. Churchill is the one I know best, but I can't either say we're old acquaintances. I'm mostly interested in Montgomery and Rommel (both sides of the strategy coin, not meaning two different styles but a bad general and a good general respectively) ------------------ Regards Reverendo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're officially on record as not being worth the cost of the rope to hang them with--the government would just drown them in the Teviot . Those that escaped drowning and some of their equally evil neighbors, with names like Turnbull, Elliot, Graham, Kerr, Scot, and Armstrong, came over here and colonized this corner of the US together. So what's not to understand? -Bullethead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
