TrixxTango Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 I've had the full version of CM for a couple of weeks now, (although this is my first posting), and I've just have to say that this is one of the best, (if not the best), games I have ever played, wargame or otherwise. The demo is impressive, and it was an incident that happened while playing "Valley of Trouble", that hooked me. I was playing the naughty Germans, and during the deployment phase I lined up both my Pak pillbox and artillery piece, (75mm?) to have the best LOS on the main road in the center. A few seconds into the first turn, a Sherman tank appears, with a HMG team hitching a ride. The artillery gun gets the first shot. BLAM! Round falls short, but right in front of the tank, killing the Sherman CO, and half of the HMG team, who immediately rout off to parts unknown. In addition, the crew is "shocked". (At this point, I cackle fiendishly, awaiting the Pak gun). The pillbox takes aim and fires! A hit! No hull penetration, (Damn!), but their main gun is damaged, (Hooray!). Seconds later the Sherman comes out of shocked status. The driver slams the Sherman into reverse, backing the tank up behind a tree line, while a friendly mortar team lays down a smoke barrage, protecting their armored buddies. This is just one exchange of just one turn of just one scenario. Just amazing! (Excerpt from "Black Adder goes fourth"): Lt. George: Well, according to the map, we are in this field, surrounded by all these tiny mushroom symbols. Capt. Black Adder: Look in the table and find out what the symbols represent. Lt. George: It says "Mine". Capt. Black Adder: So, what does that tell you? Lt. George: That whoever the fellow was that created the map owns these mushrooms? Capt. Black Adder: No! It indicates that we have walked into a minefield! Lt. George: Oh. So the chap owns the field as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrixxTango Posted August 25, 2000 Author Share Posted August 25, 2000 I request that the Borg be gentle with me. My feeling were hurt when the Sherman would not come out to play anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Aitken Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 Sounds like you were playing without Fog Of War. Have you tried playing with? David ------------------ There's a splinter in your eye, and it reads REACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melloj Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 You know what, Since each of us has been assimilated, we are all technically CM Borg, part of the collective... thats the whole point of the borg... So as a drone of the CM Borg Collective. -------------------------------------------- Resistance is Futile YOU HAVE BEEN ASSIMILATED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixxTango Posted August 25, 2000 Author Share Posted August 25, 2000 Actually, I was playing with partial FOG. I think in my next game I'll try the full version. Does anyone else have a FOG setting preference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tiger22 Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 I don't know Melloj, I don't know if it is official if its not the CM Borg himself doing the assimilation....You may be right, but you'd have to ask him before you go around assimilating anyone else, Thanks. 8-) [This message has been edited by King Tiger22 (edited 08-24-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Aitken Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 Any REAL person plays will full Fog Of War. =) But seriously, No FOW and Partial FOW are really just for training purposes. The game plays completely differently with full FOW. It's unrealistic to know exactly where all of your enemy's units are and what they're doing.

Aloid Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 Oh hell, there goes the neighborhood, when any one can assimilate anyone else, where will it all end (like this sentence). Trix, that same scenario did it for me as well, but it was entirely different as the US on Full Fog. Much much fun! Aloid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
