iggi Posted June 20, 2000 Share Posted June 20, 2000 Getting a gold award at games domain is *very* rare. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted June 20, 2000 Share Posted June 20, 2000 I read this in the review - The only minor niggles I have here are that infantry don't have waypoints... Huh? It seems to me you can set as many way points for infantry (or tanks) as you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCP Posted June 20, 2000 Share Posted June 20, 2000 And in the end of the review they say that CM is one of the most worthy winners of the Gold Award. Way to go Steve and Charles!

Private Pike Posted June 20, 2000 Share Posted June 20, 2000 It could be that if you order whole platoons around (double clicking the HQ) they can only have one way point? I noticed that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted June 20, 2000 Share Posted June 20, 2000 I would agree with Pvt. Pike, that's almost certainly what they're talking about, that a squad can only move to one place (i.e set a single waypoint when the whole squad is selected). Also true if simply more than one unit (of any sort) is selected. Cheers, Walter R. Strapps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weasel Posted June 20, 2000 Share Posted June 20, 2000 BTS, I think you may owe Tim Chown (the Games Domain reviewer) a beer or two... He's been promoting this game shamelessly for some time: it's his previews that got me here in the first place plonking down my money, and if that review doesn't sell a few more copies, I'll eat my hat. Not that the game itself isn't a fine and wonderous thing (at least the demo is! Waiting patiently...). But it's nice to have a little help.

killmore Posted June 20, 2000 Share Posted June 20, 2000 While I believe that CM should get Gold - after reading review it does not strike me as a GOLD game. Reviewers complain about just too many things. And some people might just get turned off by that review. BTS should take their comments to heart. Still CM-less in San Diego.

Spook Posted June 20, 2000 Share Posted June 20, 2000 BTW, Tim Chown admitted on the "war-historical" games newsgroup that his infantry-waypoint statement was in error, and will soon be correcting this. I usually consider Gamesdomain as one of the better wargame review sites. This is a definite "feather in the cap", but likely there'll be a lot more feathers to come soon.

Mikeydz Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Perhaps it has been corrected, but this is the closest comment I could find that matched the statement that was in error. It reads... <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> The only minor niggle I have here is that AFVs, if ordered to move through an obstacle, will drive very close to it, bumping it sometimes, rather than plotting their own smooth path around the impediment. So you have to give reasonably precise movement paths for tanks. However, the tank AI is much better than the woeful effort in Close Combat. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeer Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 They should start another category just for game of this caliber! BTW, you guys did an awesome job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted June 27, 2000 Share Posted June 27, 2000 Hiya, Just discovered this thread. Yes, the waypoint issues was corrected. It seems I was moving my infantry by group not as individual squads, hence the "confusion". CM does encourage micromanagement, so I can see why the design is as is Cheers, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
