Me neither. I think I really started to discover the wonders of CM with George's Blowtorch scenarios. I'm a fanatical fan of his work ever since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh. Hey Aragorn, Wart's, Kohlenklau, and all the rest of you good dudes; hope you're all okay and that they're hanging low and full. Or maybe high and dry. Whichever you prefer! Cheers! See you next year. Btw MJ, not sure if I follow you entirely, but I think I prefer low and full. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always feel invincible when I have a king tiger but then gun takes a hit. Or bogs. Or track hit. Nooooooo....... Horrible, isn't it? Almost as bad as gun damage. I must admit I seldom use Tigers, Dan. Not sure why, but I prefer Pz IV's, Jagdpanzers StuGs or Panthers. But this time I'm really looking forward to play the announced Tiger II campaign. The Baranow fighting fascinated me for years and was a VERY important battle at the Eastern front of 1944.

markshot Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I have George's stuff. Superb. The CM engine is inspired, but it takes a historian, map maker, and scenario designer to truly paint a master piece with it. I apologize if the red text was offensive, but CM would only be half of what it without the community. Perhaps, here it is only players who are so affected. But at Matrix, it is team members who have been attacked (myself and 2 others I know of). I am more an alumni, but the other 2 were critical betas that very much define the feature set. John: * I hope you act as a bouncer and move this stuff to the street. (In other words as admin don't ban {very extreme}, but yank social/political posts and put them into a thread where the parties can fight it out, but cleanly.) * Also, I would like to see a general forum for gaming and gaming tech. Of course, this might well be non-CM games. On one hand there are so many hours/day, and maybe this is not promoting CM. But the other hand, I don't think anyone comes here who doesn't own CM titles. (Myself, I am off to play WITW, but I have bought every title/expansion that the team here has personally developed.) John, this type of stuff can get out of hand ... at Matrix it actual lost valuable content producers of studios. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragorn2002 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) So, what are YOU going to play first? Five days in August, Tigers at Ogledow or the SPW training scenarios? Personally I will start with the SPWs. Edited September 20, 2022 by Aragorn2002 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
