Greybeard 101st Posted July 25, 2000 Share Posted July 25, 2000 Hello, want to introduce myself. I am a 51 year old vet (101st-1967-68), am self employed woodworker, and love gaming. I haven't got the game yet, but its on its way.I have been waiting for a game like this for a long time. Will I still need the patch, even though I ordered a few days ago? Look forward much to this game and to this forum. ------------------ -kill 'em all and let God sort them out- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bad Ju Ju Posted July 25, 2000 Share Posted July 25, 2000 Welcome! You won't be sorry. CM is the best wargame I've ever played. BTW, I think they're shipping the patched version of the game. ------------------ "I didn't go to evil medical school for six years to be called MR. Evil."

sniperscope Posted July 25, 2000 Share Posted July 25, 2000 Hi Greybeard: Welcome to our collective. Prepare yourself, sleepless nigths, lots of studying, a group of guys on this forum who love the game. New Patch 1.03 due out soon with new goodies added. New sounds, textures, scenarios, operations. We are now in wargame heaven. sniperscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcents Posted July 25, 2000 Share Posted July 25, 2000 Welcome!! Sniperscope beat me to the punch, so I had to edit this into a hearty welcome to the end of any free time post. [This message has been edited by vcents (edited 07-25-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Posted July 25, 2000 Share Posted July 25, 2000 Welcome also, 82nd Abn (81-85)--I'm sure you had more excitement with the Screaming Eagles!! I don't think you'll be disappointed at all with this product. Did you buy that 101st based game at Normandy? I didn't and read some pretty bad reviews of it. -----Chris Schall------ ------------------ Land Soft--Kill Quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangorn Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 Hail GreyBeard, Always good to find another Gone Golder around. I believe v. 1.03 will be around when you get the game (which will be 1.02). Do not apply the patch 1.01! It'll screw the game. Also, feel free to ask for a pbem game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greybeard 101st Posted July 26, 2000 Author Share Posted July 26, 2000 Thanks for the great welcome, I have the demo and have been playing it alot. Has any of you DL'd Mad Dogs sound and graphic enhancements? I DL'd them, but wanted some feedback before I install, when I get the game. Very friendly forum, you don't see that very often. Hey, Airborne, I was in the 82nd right after I got out of jump school, then transfered to 101st. ------------------ -kill 'em all and let God sort them out- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 GB101st I would definately recommend that you install the graphic and mod packs. I've also downloaded the winter cammo packs--very nice looking. Chris ------------------ Land Soft--Kill Quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikester Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 GB 101, Welcome to the CM world. The MadDog mod's are pretty good. I've installed all of them including the hi-res grass textures. Depending on your system though this might cause things to be too slow. The sound-pack is definitely worth installing in my opinion. If nothing else, I'd highly recommend downloading and installing it. Mikester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted July 26, 2000 Share Posted July 26, 2000 I use all the Mods myself without a problem. If you have a good sound system I’d use the quieted “exit explosion”. The 1st time I quit the game without using this Mod it sounded like my house blew up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard 101st Posted July 26, 2000 Author Share Posted July 26, 2000 Thanks Ted, my wife already thinks my games are too loud, huh? How can a game be too loud? Mikester, I have -P2 450, 256 Ram, TNT2ULTRA, Altec Lansing asc 345 speakers with Dolby, sub-woofer. Hope I don't have anyslow down. Thanks for info, got to DL that exit sound patch,or my neighbors will think I shot my wife, ------------------ -kill 'em all and let God sort them out- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We recently just started support for Combat Mission (including the demo until you get the game). Mosey on over and check us out. The Combat Mission ranks are still pretty small but I am looking to get allot of guys into the club to flesh it out and provide a really good strong base of gamers with which to play together.
