Soliloquy Posted July 16, 2000 Share Posted July 16, 2000 Welcome! Good to see you dipping your toes in the web-forum waters! I've enjoyed your AAR's on csipgs-h. It'd be great if you'd post a couple over on the "scenario-talk" board, along with the usual "spoiler" note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est ce que CM a vous donner ce que tu as chercher? (tranlation: he asks about my Games Domain article some timeago regretting the lack of the role of maneuver in computer wargames) ----------------- CM does give a fair amount of leeway for maneuver in some scenarios; for a game of its scale, it`s about as good as one could expect. A good example is the Wittman scenario (Villers-bocage), where the key to winning the scenario is to forego the historical movement, and to do it in an optimum manner that is not obvious. Il est encore trop tot pour un jugement definitif sur Combat Mission. _______________ 've enjoyed your AAR's on csipgs-h.

I promise I`ll post one here eventually. I noted that some people post pictures here; is it accepted and how does one do it? Can they be compressed with JPG? BTW, how does one put a quote from another message into a reply here with the original author`s name shown? Henri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggi Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 Here's where you can learn the simple code for quotes and links: http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/ubbcode.html By the way Henri, how do you like TOAW? Do you feel it's igo ugo turn based nature is modified enough to give you a sense of manouver at the operational level?

Putting in the ability to transfer command to the PO would be a gret progress; in many scenarios, bu the time I have given orders to half my units, I have forgotten which orders I have given to the first. Anyway, in recent times, I have been to busy playing Combat Mission, Age of Kings, Shogun, Warlords Battlecry, SWAT3 and a few others to play any TOAW...
