Darwin Posted February 24, 2000 Share Posted February 24, 2000 I was just sitting here thinking about all the changes in my life since I started the wait for CM. Kind of throws a little perspective on things. I've moved 3 times, almost got married, went into heavy depression over the breakup, I've completed my study of Japanese (at least my formal education of it) and moved on to computer studies, I've gotten interested in others games and completed many of them, I've been to Japan (again) and Thailand, changed jobs, changed schools, went from an avid mountain biker to a basketball player to a lazy-good-for-nothing gamer, had several new years parties, been introduced to la fin du monde, etc. Imagine that, life continues even though CM hasn't arrived.

Guest Ol' Blood & Guts Posted February 24, 2000 Share Posted February 24, 2000 Well, I'd sit around and slap my monkey if I could, while waiting for this game. But the ol' hands don't work like they used to after a spinal injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like Maudite (pardon my French ) from the same brewery. Them yankee Cajuns make some good beer. Just think, if you had gotten CM already, you might have gotten so welded to your computer desk that you'd never have sampled this excellent beer My own wait for CM is made much easier by being a volunteer fireman. I get to do live fire infantry/tank tactics quite frequently ------------------ -Bullethead jtweller@delphi.com WW2 AFV Photos: people.delphi.com/jtweller/tanks/tanks.htm [This message has been edited by Bullethead (edited 02-23-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted February 24, 2000 Share Posted February 24, 2000 Let's see...while waiting for CM I have: 1) Played almost half of a Bombing the Reich grand campaign (turn 430). 2)Played a linked campaign in Westfront, Eastfront, and Rising Sun. 3) Started a new campaign CC4. 4) Finished a campaign in Mig Alley and European Air War. 5) Read the Forgotten Soldier, Soldat, Currahee, Seven roads to Hell and countless other books. 6) I can't remember anything else since I have grown old and senile.

sbg2112 Posted February 24, 2000 Share Posted February 24, 2000 Well, to respond based on what I thought you were looking for given the title of the thread..... For awhile, I hammered away at the scenarios, getting a sense of scale and just trying to acquire a feel for the game. When that got old, I hammered away at my credit card, buying a few of the more highly recommended books. I'm focusing on those right now, trying to learn as much about tactics as I can. Also, the wait had one benefit: I decided that I would focus on the DYO scenarios first, and save the others for when I'm feel like I'm ready.

Ithai Posted February 24, 2000 Share Posted February 24, 2000 Well I became an outpost.com gaming guru and have played two games for free! All I had to do was write a review about each of them! The best part was I got the position by doing a sample review for combat mission! Oh and I bought a house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterk Posted February 24, 2000 Share Posted February 24, 2000 > Them yankee Cajuns make some good beer. Hey Bullet, I never heard of Quebecers being referred to as "yankee cajuns" before. I kind of like it. Should be our license plate slogan. p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, to a Cajun, everybody from north of about Interstate Highway 10 is a yankee, and "yankee" IS a put-down. But Cajuns are descendants of exiles from your part of the world ("Cajun" being a bastardization of "Acadian"), so we had to make a special term for our sundered kinfolks up there So it's a mix of old homeland ties and attitudes picked up in new surroundings. ------------------ -Bullethead jtweller@delphi.com WW2 AFV Photos: people.delphi.com/jtweller/tanks/tanks.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Beman Posted February 25, 2000 Share Posted February 25, 2000 I've been working too long, stressing too much, getting too little exercise, eating poorly, playing ZERO computer games, worrying about my finances, not having a girlfriend, and just generally not having as pleasant a recent past as I'd wanted. Although I DID have my first bottle of Kwak beer. GREAT stuff. I just have to find a way to get it for myself. DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even back then the screenshots looked ok but it was the concept that really hooked me. I have been a fan of BTS and Charles' work since "Achtung Spitfire" and "Over the Reich". I guess I just like their attention to details and accuracy. If I had a question regarding on of the games, Charles would email me back with a response. No, I am not kissing up, but I do know what I like. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
