Dale H Posted June 26, 2000 Share Posted June 26, 2000 SPOILER: may contain some info you may not want to read re one scenario mission I've been playing CM since its arrival mid-last week. I had some reservations about the game which I expressed in a previous post (the emperor has no clothes). I regret those comments & would like to say all my reservations are gone. I love this game. I played the small scenario involving three Panthers by Bill Wilder (forgot the name: La Foret? (sp.?)) last evening & I let the Panthers hunt & I was captivated (total suspension of disbelief) by the result. The big cats clawed their way through the Ami's in a most methodical & believable way but all succombed to the weight of the Sherman numbers in the end. I literally gaped at the screen with jaw on the floor through the whole scenario, repeating over & over, "amazing". The Panthers were so believable like I've never experienced in a game before. I watched mostly a ground level to see the big cats roam. The Close Combat series doesn't even come close. Fantastic AI: I never had to direct a shot but let them hunt to their hearts content. Please add my name to your list of die hard fans & accept my humble apology for doubting.

Joe Shaw Posted June 26, 2000 Share Posted June 26, 2000 Well ... you can't say fairer than that! But I know what you mean, I ran a Quick Battle the other night that had me wrung out like a sponge. Very nice of you to re-post on this issue Dale ... now get out there and sell more copies so we can continue to get CM's There's nothing worse (or better I guess) than a recent convert. Praise be brethren, he has been saved. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Germanboy Posted June 26, 2000 Share Posted June 26, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by :USERNAME:: Now apologize for posting the first spoiler..<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> It would be nice indeed if you could edit your post because it contains spoiler info. Just put 'SPOILER INFO' on top and a lot of space in between that and the text. I am really not that interested in finding out about scenario content before I get to play them. ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaffertape Posted June 26, 2000 Share Posted June 26, 2000 Welcome Dale H It was honourable to re-post and describe why you love the game. Nicely done. GAFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale H Posted June 26, 2000 Author Share Posted June 26, 2000 I also apologize for not posting SPOILER; I edited the message appropriately. Hope I didn't give too much away. I've stayed away from the board, mostly, since my 'emperor' post, so I didn't know what spoiler meant, but I do now. Thanks, Dale Kilroy, out P.S. while I was watching the scenario last night I didn't even hear my wife yell until the third time she did in my ear: "Turn the *!#$% thing down; I can't hear myself think".
