Kingfish Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 Gustav, Back before the game was released BTS offered to have member's names included in the game. I once had Lt. Tankersly (Leland) in three different scenarios running at the same time. ------------------ Charlie don't surf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoffel Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 Good idea,the SS for instance and some divisions from the regular army had batalions and in some cases regiments with volunteers from many European countries. BTS you can use my name! Would be fun if some friends will see your name appear when they are playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paullus Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 I'd love to see my name in lights (or pixels). Of course, McNamara is out (would have been great for this one), but I did see a McNamara squad leader in a British scenario a while back. Of course, I'm sure that Paullus could be included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Porta Posted October 3, 2000 Share Posted October 3, 2000 Ooooh, I'd LOVE to see my name in CM2 ! It would have to be a pretty invulnerable unit though !! Maybe a JS2 or a Tiger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
