Lurker Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 What am I looking forward to? Vengeance! I remeber the first time that I played LD after downloading the Beta Demo. I played as the Americans and the AI wiped me out. Oh! The humiliation of it all! I'm looking forward to modifying the scenario a bit and trying it again with some more capable anti-tank assets. Or perhaps some air support... Lurker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Shaw Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 Bocage is hedgerow terrain. I'm looking forward to the scenario creator as well, in fact it's going to be a toss up as to whether I play one of the scenarios first or fire up the scenario editor Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ol' Blood & Guts Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 "What's bocage?" Well Moiety, bocage is a form of terrain that was common on the Coteten penninsula (The D-Day Landing pennisula). It was also known as "hedge rows" at times, but as we now know, that CM has both. Hedge rows in CM are just lines of hedges that formed small barriers. Bocage is a bit bigger in scope. Bocage was how farmers partitioned off their fields in the relatively lowlands of the area. What they did is to pile earth and rock in walls and then over time they would grow up in trees and such. This created a bit of a problem in early break-out expansion of the invasion. Because the Germans could easily defend such an area by setting up MG posts and/or armour ambushes behind the barriers. The Allies had tanks out-fitted with special bull-dozer style equipment to "push through" these man-made walls. Hope this answers your question. But anyway. I'm lokking forward to Operations, On the Fly Battle Creation (not sure what this really means), the entire vehicle fleet, and battles in snow. ------------------ <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by guachi: I think we should nominate Robert/1 for a "Captain Manieri Award"<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest brainboy Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 1# Having panzerschriek teams that are veteran or better. I am so sick of shermans prancing about in CE and my concscript/green troops are too scared to just kneel-up and blast the damn things. (I can only get minor axis vic over AI and that is with pre-knoledge of scenario great luck with stugs,3 kills) #2 48 hours of caffine, Pizza, and CM #3 Learning more. One of the coolest things with CM is that it, the AI and 3d environment, are teaching me tactics and the feel of WWII combat better than any game I ever have played. Most games I can find some 'trick' to waste the AI. With CM I played VoT as Amer fist did ok but then as Germans I watched how the Allied AI handled his tanks and troops (should have used arty smoke though IMHO) and 2nd time as Amer I rocked the poor krauts. In essense the TacAI taught me the proper (some of the proper) use of tanks in hilly terran vs AT and dug-in defenders. That blows my mind. #4 more suprises. The 3D 'infinate' LOS is neat; I get down and dirty (zoom 1) and spot check LOS and 'drive' around with the movement keys seeing what dips and hills in the terrain there are for my units. plot my move. Then during execution all hell breaks loose when I find out that sherman can really see around that hill. Much more fun then tracing lines from hex centerpoint to hex centerpoint, If ya ever played that game. #5 all the full-length battle movies I hope we start trading.

Mikeydz Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 Looking forward to defeating Fionn in the final game. I beat Moon already when the beta demo came out, so the other half of the famed Alpha AAR should be a piece of cake. Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted May 27, 2000 Share Posted May 27, 2000 I am most looking forward to beating up on all the beta testers fionn, moon, rune, wild bill, etc. After that maybe Steve and Charles Seriously though, I am looking forward to having an acceptable engine for my wargaming habit. With the editor CM will easily become the vehicle of choice for years of tactical wargaming. A toast to BTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
