And they are good scenarios in themselves, increasing in complexity. You won't just waltz through them. You can, but you'll pay.

I'm 66. Not sure how long I've been playing, but it's since the original CMBO came out. Which seems ages ago now. Dave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the first forum opened forum members had numbers, in addition to their handle. I was forum member 64. That's how long I've been around. Playing? In the fall of 1999 a public beta demo was released. That was the first that I played. The only earlier that people could have played is if they were OG beta testers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 2002, I think. As an Ostfronter I first tried the demo of CMBB, was appaled by the ugliness, but gave it a try and never looked back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since CMBO open beta demo was released. When was it? Battlefront was still called Bigtime Software. I guess it must have been 1999 with Last Defense and Riesberg. That have been two very interesting decades so far and I´m looking forward to at least two additional CM decades in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Captain Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 (edited) I'm 52. Started back at the beginning with CMBO and have been at it ever since. Also a huge Eastern Front fan so CMBB took it to all new depths. I had a PBEM opponent in Sweden and we literally fought Eastern Front battles religiously for over seven years, exchanging consistent turns. We fought the war longer than the actual combatants! Ha! What other game has ever given that kind of longevity? I honestly do think RT/FR might just be my favorite title of all.

Me too but I haven't tried any modern stuff yet. Not even demos (there are demos right, I'm too lazy to check?) . Having said that I must confess to a fondness for CMBN. And CMFB. And CMFI. The order I wrote that is interesting (probably to me only) but hey ho. I'm 18, have long blonde hair and a bodacious body. I like animals, helping people and doing yoga at the top of Mount Fuji. Well okay that's not all true, but some is. And nothing to brag about but I discovered CMRT and then the other titles about two and a half years ago. Wow, where was my head buried ? Partly in the Il2 skies and SH3 Grey Wolves seas ironically... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacillator Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 You make me blush sir. But yes GWX is a beautiful thing. The funny thing (to me at least) was that I went looking for an SH3 mod to correct certain graphic anomalies (you know, the PC ones), and ended up with Grey Wolves (before X IIRC). Beautiful. How lucky was that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while but in quite a few careers I got very close but sadly the answer is no. In my defense, I wasn't really trying for that though, more the glory of the tonnage and the survival of the Reich. Hmmm. 13 minutes ago, Bubba883XL said: i do il2 aswell... but needing a joystick and more importantly head tracker You do it without a joystick . No!!!! Get one, I have an old Saitek X52 which is great but rather old-fashioned these days. It has the throttle quadrant (correct me if I'm using the wrong word) as well, great. And the number of programmable buttons and modes is mind-boggling. I have a TrackIR but an old version, need a new one. Pricey but a total game changer for spacial awareness. Works great for other games like T34 vs Tiger (obscure), and of course Il2 Tank Crew. And also pedals, I use CH Pro which I really like. Edited September 22, 2022 by Vacillator My spelling is not as accurate as my joystick and pedals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I did cheer when I saw Yeovil lose 3-1 at Maidstone many moons ago. They had some gut bucket called Botham playing for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
