Manx Posted June 4, 2000 Share Posted June 4, 2000 Looking forward to the day that 'the box' arrives on my doorstep. Don't know about anyone else but the first thing i will do (after installation of course) is look at the editor, before trying out any of the new scenario's/ops. It is the inclusion of an editor that will give this game its longlivety and provide the CM community with a game that never ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted June 4, 2000 Share Posted June 4, 2000 I'll probably go take a good healthy ****...ohhh, you mean when we get the game. I'll probably look at the editor as well, and just see what all the units we have to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggi Posted June 4, 2000 Share Posted June 4, 2000 I'll look at the editor too. Setup maps, situations of all sorts to test what ifs, tactics and so on. LOS will be tested under varyiing conditions. Basically I will make sure I understand exactly when and why things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted June 4, 2000 Share Posted June 4, 2000 I have already done the most important thing I can while waiting for that sacred day... ...went out and bought a mouse that is shaped to fit both left and right hands, with a scroll wheel!! I don't want to have to stop in the middle of my fix, ehh... hit, ehh... game simply because my arm's nervous system has shut down for the duration. ; > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesreidau Posted June 4, 2000 Share Posted June 4, 2000 Just out of interest, how many of you other guys lose the power of your legs whilst reading/researching on the toilet? Just the other day I had to prop myself up for a good 5 mins for the circulation to kick in...ohhh, the sacrifices we all make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted June 4, 2000 Share Posted June 4, 2000 ahhh, the arrival of 'the box'. I feel it will be a time to be savored and enjoyed. Opening the box is fun too, set it on the table and just watch it...for a moment, knowing that I have it and I can open it whenever I want. Perhaps some fine wine to go with the opening? Well, I probably won't go that far but I may make my entire family watch me open it...or is that too personal? hmmm...this is a tough one. ------------------ "If they are waiting for me to make the first move then I'll trick them and make my second move first."

Doug Beman Posted June 5, 2000 Share Posted June 5, 2000 I'm actually going to play a BUNCH of single-player scenarios, because I want as little delay as possible in going from opening the envelope to playing CM. After I've sated myself, temporarily at least, then I'm going to start generating random scenarios to see what the AI can do on-the-fly.

Juju Posted June 5, 2000 Share Posted June 5, 2000 I'm gonna just fire up the very first operation!! Oh yes! And then the second, and so forth. That, and call in sick.

Sgt.Morgue Posted June 5, 2000 Share Posted June 5, 2000 The first thing i will do , is make a map with lots of elevation changes and cover terrain , probaby a river with a bridge for the main objective , then maybe build scenario with a long drive for allied armor as it trys to help the paratroops drop at the objective , kind of a bridge to far scenario. i enjoy building maps to play on.

Guest MantaRay Posted June 5, 2000 Share Posted June 5, 2000 I am going to see just how big of a scenario I can make until it becomes unplayible. I am going to try to do a Division vs Division or larger of all Heavy German Tanks and all US Zooks. Ok not really, but i am thinking I can get atleast a division or more to work on my P-3 600. And I had to buy a shelf for my bathroom to store all of my game manuals and Gaming Magazines...and CM's will fit just perfect. ------------------ When asked, "How many moves do you see ahead?", CAPABLANCA replied: "One move - the best one."

Lee Posted June 5, 2000 Share Posted June 5, 2000 I can't quite understand this obsession with reading game manuals while relieving one's self. A.) With the exception of being struck with serious illness, I don't require a 1/2 hour plus of restroom time. B.) I do not find said environment particularly pleasing or conducive to involved thought and reading about WWII tactical combat (or anything else, for that matter). The whole thing just strikes me as rather odd. No offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
