Jochen Schmidt Posted October 18, 2000 Share Posted October 18, 2000 Hi all, i know same may think that i´m mad or that this post is not worth to read, but i think the CM-Forum is the right place to say this. The colored trees for autumn-season are to early used in CM. The trees (in Germany) are so colored since middle/end of October. Frozen rivers are not usual in Germany in the winter. In russia yes, but not in Germany. (maybe the winter 44/45 was so cold, but i didn´t find any sources). O.k., o.k., this is really not important for the gameplay (perhaps only the frozen rivers) but i think, if we wanna be corgnards this should be said. Any comments??

Major Tom Posted October 18, 2000 Share Posted October 18, 2000 I seem to remember a battle, Austerlitz (SP?) that took place either in northern Austria or Southern Germany (what there was of it) where Napoleon defeated a combined Russian and Austrian army, and devestated them again by blasting away an Iced River they were crossing after the defeat. Plus, most of the battles in CM take place in France. Possibly the weather patterns are slightly different over there, eh? Maybe Germany is feeling the pinch of global warming?

Sorry, I know English probably isn't your first language (& I'm not saying it should be either) but I just couldn't resist when the opportunity presented itself. Regards Jim R.

Guest Germanboy Posted October 18, 2000 Share Posted October 18, 2000 Jochen, the Winter 1944/45 was one of the coldest on record in Western Europe, AFAIK. The following year was quite bad too, I believe. ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochen Schmidt Posted October 19, 2000 Author Share Posted October 19, 2000 O.k., my english is not my first language (grrrrr), but i´ve written the text to fast and didn´t control him before posting - sorry! Thanks for the information, that the winter 44/45 was very cold - i didn´t know - so, BTS is correct. Thanks a lot for your answers.
