SuperTed Posted May 18, 2000 Share Posted May 18, 2000 For anybody who cares, I have an idea. So far, I have only briefly investigated one scenario from each of the demos. I intend to NOT play any scenarios (demo or full version) until I have a PBEM opponent. That way, I (and hopefully my opponent) will have no idea of what the scenario is like. It's like being a born-again virgin. SuperTed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted May 18, 2000 Share Posted May 18, 2000 I haven't played them either, let me download the demo and you can play me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted May 18, 2000 Author Share Posted May 18, 2000 I guess I should have been more specific. I also plan to wait until the full verison is sitting comfortably on my hard drive. At that time, I would welcome any like-minded challengers. Sorry for any confusion. SuperTed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcelt Posted May 18, 2000 Share Posted May 18, 2000 SuperTed, I have to presume then that your virginity has not been reborn quite yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted May 18, 2000 Author Share Posted May 18, 2000 pceclt, My wargaming virginity will be reborn when my copy of CM arrives. My CM virginity will remain intact until that time as well. I'm saving myself. SuperTed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MantaRay Posted May 18, 2000 Share Posted May 18, 2000 I have an idea for you Ted. Why dont you play the scenarios in the demo, then when the game comes, dont play the 2 that are in this game. It is like hitting the homerun and refusing to go past third base!!! And we all know if you dont cross home plate...your still a virgin!!

SuperTed Posted May 18, 2000 Author Share Posted May 18, 2000 Hey MantaRay, That's not a bad idea. However, in keeping with your baseball analogy, I would rather not start the game if I know that I can play only one or two innings (i.e. scenarios). I would rather wait until I know that all nine innings are available. It works well with my style of PBEM play. I like to maintain anywhere from 4-10 games of The Operational Art of War (TOAW) at any given time. I like the challenge of facing multiple opponents. It forces me to become a better player. Because the turns in CM are quite a bit shorter than those in the TOAW scenarios I play, I am sure I can add at least four opponents to my wargaming budget. Since there are only two demo scenarios, I would not be able to do that without duplication. So, thank you for the advice, but I think I'll just wait in the dugout until batting practice is over.
