Guest Shatter50 Posted August 20, 2000 Share Posted August 20, 2000 I read somthing about CM2 in the scenario section that CM2 was going to consist of the war in the Eastern front. Simply put I would like to know any info about this. I hope it is true, about the Eastern front being the focus of the game. The idea of playing the Germans against the Russians or vice versa is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted August 20, 2000 Share Posted August 20, 2000 No, no-one knows anything about this. You must have been dreaming. Either that or you could use the LOVELY SEARCH FUNCTION! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a beta-tester of the game. He's done immense amounts of historical research towards producing this game. He is doubtless actively involved in doing the same for CM2, the Russian Front. He is trying to suggest you use the 'search' function to check on answers to commonly asked questions like this, where the info is readily available, in his own, crusty, heart of gold way ------------------ After witnessing exceptional bravery from his Celtic mercenaries, Alexander the Great called them to him and asked if there was anything they feared.

Those of us who aren't useful for much else pay dues by helping newbies. It's good to have questions, but really, try using search on some. It's amazing what you'll come up with. I know that the sheer number of threads that come up sometimes is intimidating, but you'll get better answers in general, and sometimes find some pricelessly weird discussions amongst the fabulously informative. ------------------ After witnessing exceptional bravery from his Celtic mercenaries, Alexander the Great called them to him and asked if there was anything they feared.

Dittohead Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Also please note that CM-3 will cover the great hamster vs chinchilla wars. CM-4 covers Earth vs the Flying monkeys. Any question? I didn't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shatter50 Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Hey Seanachi Is it wrong for me to be asking all sorts of questions instend of using search. I have used search but only specific info is given. When I ask others I get their views and sometimes additional info, and I also enjoy interacting with all the Battlefront members.

mscano Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 It sounds like CM2 is going to be the East Front '41-45 (including Finnish Front), CM3 will be North Africa and Italy, CM4 will be the Blitzkrieg years '39-40. This is all very tenative, so don't make any life- altering plans based on this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the rest of us have only been here for a few months, and even I, a relative newcomer, have seen some of these questions asked dozens of times, and answered dozens of times. A lot of folk want newbies to make a little effort and familiarize themselves with basic info, and some of the main discussions of stuff. When they do, then they work from a better idea of what's been said before, and can bring something new to discussions. By reading some of the older threads and discussions, you also learn a lot about the people you'll encounter here (like Fionn), and how to rub along better, who's got useful info (many people, happily), who's astonishingly helpful (guachi, for one), people who might seem like they want you to die, now, on command, and rid the universe of your presence (Peng, but he doesn't...well, completely mean it), and the few who are just useless sods who everyone else has to endure. When I came on board in April (when I started reading, not posting ), I'm glad I read a lot of the older threads. Not only was there great information about tactics, the development of the game, and innumerable Monty Python references, but I started to build up this mental landscape of the people here. It's really a rather marvelous forum. Some great people have left, but new and intriguing people have started to arrive. As soon as I figure out who Boo, the Space Hamster is, I know that I will feel more complete... ------------------ After witnessing exceptional bravery from his Celtic mercenaries, Alexander the Great called them to him and asked if there was anything they feared.

MrPeng Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 shatter50: if that is, in fact, your real name, what you have just witnessed was an attack of the pointlessly dull monster we sometimes refer to as MrSenileTea. He purports to be a repository of help and useful information but is more like a suppository of rather large and uncomfortable proportions. He is in all actuality a font of pointless anecdotes, and will try to feed you the contents of his drool cup. DO NOT BELIEVE A WORD THIS FILTHY STINKING LIAR SAYS!!! Fionn is not actually a member of this forum or any fora related to combat mission (thank you, Fionn for being one of the only humans I have ever seen use the plural, 'fora' instead of the horrid americanized 'forums' so often seen.) he is instead a small smoothly furred rodent-like creature with a fantasmagorical win/loss ratio not to be confused with gerbiltoy who is not at all a rodent and is also a big fat liar esp about his win loss ratio. Now there is an actual rodent we like to call TC Schutz, of the chinchilla variety who is often seen with a mythical elven king named Lorak. TC Schutz hasn't actually played the game because he is not very proficient with the mouse yet (it is my understanding that he is squeamish about using an input device named for one of his 'lower' cousins), and he doesn't quite have the matching skill set required to type the letters which correspond to the actions in the drop down menus. However he is a fine tactician and is apparrently the brains behind Lorak's recent spate of victories. Anyway, if i had a point it was this...MrSenileTea knows alot about the sewer systems in Minnesota, but not much else. He likes to pretend to know things about this so-called community, but he is generally just a great big puffy bag of cesspool gas and if your know what is good for you, you will avoid any "advice" he may have for you. Oh, except for one thing. It is completely true that I hate everyone and everything and wish them all ill and dead. Including you. Especially you now that I realize I have wasted several precious minutes writing this when I could have been playing the game in which I just blew up MrS'Tea's Firefly with a cleverly hidden panzerschreck. Oh and by the way, there is no such thing as a search function. It is a bloody fiction. the only thing it ever turns up for me is some damn whining post by Elvis about how much he wants TCP/IP. avoid him and his posts.

PeterNZer Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Mr Peng is on special little pills. Blue ones in the Evening, Red ones in the morning and some small yellow ones every other hour. Mostly they keep him sane, mostly... Actually, I feel kinda sorry for you Shatter50, everyone here seems really insane this weekend and you have to try and get questions answered and stuff! Don't worry, just keep hanging around, they're ok when you get to know them. Just imagine a group of trainspoters with too much time on your hands.. Or wild Gorillas.. if you hang around long enough, and make coo'ing sounds, eventually they'll accept you, scratch your back, pick nits off you etc, (that goes for the Gorillas too).

Actually there are still a few Germans around there but there sure are a lot of Americans who haven't even seen action yet, just kind of hovering out there as 'stars' while the top of the hill seems to have been lost to a flood of T8s and Chaffees. I would say the way you split the German defense and the one move in particular by your flamethrower might point to the existence of that lizard =grin= ..at the beginning i should have never fired smoke with the 81mm mortars... duh... =g= (TRPs in heavy fog.. gave away TRP position) Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorak Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 Andy, umm.. never really even noticed the smoke. Trying to remember back, It was by your wire and your guns.. correct? If so don't worry about it. I had already found my path up the side, so I could avoid that area. It just looked bad from the get go. Too bad I had to get a bazooka slaughterd to find out for sure though.
