killmore Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 Here is a couple of things we should not expect from CM. Feel free to add: 0) "Rear lower armor hit - Exhaust pipe penetration" message 1) Armor power-ups in the scattered trees. 2) Extra life hidden in secret location. 3) Bicycle Infantry (Well maybe?) 4) Those cute Dancing Pathers (Tanks rotating in place - CC) 5) Infantry water-skiing behind boats. 6) Smell of Napalm 7) Fionn saying that something is NOT realistic in CM 8) BGF wiping out all units in sight 9) Mortar round lands between 3 tanks and damages every one of them. Oh, sorry - that does happen. 10) Unit of hippis with flowers taking out JagdTiger. 11) On turn 12 Energizer Bunny runs accross the field. 12) Between operations your units suffer realistic casualties due to STDs. (In WWI these casualties were very large!) 13) Some of your troops suddenly disangage, break through enemy lines and attack a bank behind the enemy lines.

killmore Posted January 13, 2000 Author Share Posted January 13, 2000 14) Fighter-bomber gets shot down, pilot bails out. Then pilot runs toward the AA gun that shot his plane down and kills them AA gun crew with bare hands. Then pilot is killed by his own wingman who mistakes him for Volksturms [This message has been edited by killmore (edited 01-13-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 How about 15) Nuclear weapons. I can hear Steve now, 'That's not in CM's scale'. Yeesh, what a broken record that guy is 16) 'Why Can't We Be Friends' by War, Bruce Springsteen's 'War, What Is It Good For', or 'Give Peace a Chance' by John Lennon as part of the soundtrack. 17) Al Pacino holding a gernade launcher in the middle of the battlefield screaming 'Say hello to my little friend!'

Los Posted January 13, 2000 Share Posted January 13, 2000 As a beta tester I have one major unrsolved grip wih CM. It only graphically models one type of snow. The fluffy floaty ideal christmas type. Now wet snow, no small tiny sideways blowing flakes etc etc. It's a real problem. Los Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

von shrad Posted January 14, 2000 Share Posted January 14, 2000 Good one Doug. And Madmatt, I noticed "forgetting" is in parentheses. Surely it was an "accident". [This message has been edited by von shrad (edited 01-13-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TZEENCH Posted January 14, 2000 Share Posted January 14, 2000 23) A large foot smashing the allies and having someone yelling "GODZILLA, RUN" 24) Having two batallion leaders meet in the middle and fight with lightsabers.. (We meet again Obi-One) 25) Calling in Reserves and being asked where to beam them in at..... 26) Having two platoons exchange fire with helmets after hearing a click.....

Guest Zigster Posted January 14, 2000 Share Posted January 14, 2000 27) Geordie will get that Sherman unbogged by phase-shifting the flux transducer after coupling the warp nacelles to the anti-matter containment field and subluxating the tribble caught in the tread.

Schrullenhaft Posted January 14, 2000 Share Posted January 14, 2000 29) Secret "cheat code" gives losing side two battalions of reserves. "So what if you just toasted my last Stug... I've just been saved by the Cavalry... an Abeiltung of King Tigers just happened on their way into our sector". 30) Hidden "powerup" has given the last remaining conscript in a Volkstrum squad instant invincibility and it proceeds to trash two platoons and five Easy Eight Shermans.

Fionn Posted January 14, 2000 Share Posted January 14, 2000 Goanna, Quick correction. The ONLY thing more devious than a 13 year old guy is a 13 year old girl. Things I miss: 33: When commanding British forces hear a Scottish voice say "We canna do i' Capain" everytime one orders an advance. 34: The modelling of the different colours of grass as it effects the relative visibility of the various camouflage smocks worn during this time. (Believe it or not the grass colour DOES change with the seasons.. bloody anal retentive attention-seekers at BTS ... BUT a gross oversight of how it affects visibility has been overlooked... Next they'll be thinking 1000 Jeeps can kill 100 King Tigers *sigh* ) ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zigster Posted January 14, 2000 Share Posted January 14, 2000 35) A +5 wand of Tiger Summoning hidden behind a secret door (booby-trapped of course, so bring the halfling thief) beneath the objectives. 36) Troops being allocated to chop trees, gather berries, build temples... ------------------ Der Zig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
