deanco Posted February 4, 2001 Author Share Posted February 4, 2001 Well, I can't believe this didn't stir up something! Nobody yelled at me for using all caps! Nobody called it a black day for wargaming! What's worse, nobody laughed! I'm giving y'all another chance. I've done a Demo (save game) now, and all you have to do is load it up and keep hitting GO. And to ice the deal I'm gonna try to post a couple screenies. (edit) Can't get the screens to work... maybe it's just as well, don't wanna shock anybody... ------------------ DeanCo-- CM interface mods: http://mapage.cybercable.fr/deanco/ so many games...so little time [This message has been edited by deanco (edited 02-04-2001).] [This message has been edited by deanco (edited 02-04-2001).] [This message has been edited by deanco (edited 02-04-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subvet Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 Ha ha ha! That is pretty darn creative if nothing else. I ran the race but unfortunately none of the vehicles made it to the finish line. The race was finally decided in a fist fight at the local bar, the "Pit Stop Saloon," between the pit crews. The Americans won a tactical victory by showing up late. The Germans by then had become quite drunk and couldn't fight worth a damn. ------------------ Craig "Only a madman would consider the possibility of war between the two states (France and Germany), for which, from our point of view, there is no rational or moral ground." - Chancellor Adolf Hitler, Oct. 14, 1933 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanco Posted February 4, 2001 Author Share Posted February 4, 2001 russellmz, I wanted to do that, but I figured framerate would suffer... I would want 100's of guys in the infield watching!! Also, I wanted to get it out quick before the inspiration became stale!

Guest aaronb Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 Truly, you have too much time on your hands... I finally got a Kubelwagon to finish - and in a blend of Rollerball and Car Wars, this is surprising. So, when is LeMans coming out? ------------------ my armoured assets have about the half-life of a gnat in DDT - Germanboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 ROTLMAO! That's damned ingenius! A Jeep won the first time I ran it. A Kubel was right behind it, but it got straffed by a FB just short of the Finish Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanco Posted February 4, 2001 Author Share Posted February 4, 2001 aaronb, Yeah yeah, the roadrace version. Well, fortunately for you guys, I don't have THAT much time on my hands!

Gremlin Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 I'd love to see versions of Monza and Spa (which is situated in area where some of the heaviest fighting of the Bulge took place, actually). ------------------ New to Combat Mission?

Richlop Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 Kubelwagon came in first with 2 jeeps behind. A couple of others might have finished, but the allies surrendered (I think it was the plane strafing the 50 cals that did it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanco Posted February 4, 2001 Author Share Posted February 4, 2001 So far every time I've run it it's been a little bit different. I especially like it when the entire field gets wiped out just as they're getting going. But I've also had a lot of races where guys finished, and even some close, dramatic finishes! I experimented with putting mortars in too, but they were too ineffective. If the player wanted to Area Target them it would add to the 'gameplay', I guess. Same with 'arming' the competitors (I tried putting HT's etc). More bullets fired, sure, but nobody finishes. So finally I just left it simple. Doing the roadrace course: Nope. Too much work for a negligible gain in the Laugh Factor. I'm starting to sound like BTS here. Thanks to the original poster of 'It's a great day for Motor Car Racing' for the phrase which inspired me to whip this out while it was still funny to me. ------------------ DeanCo-- CM interface mods: http://mapage.cybercable.fr/deanco/ so many games...so little time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 HAHA, Thats some funny stuff! I am now a total race fan along with all the other NASCAR fans in this country. There are some side effects though. I have lost my two front teeth and I am not a kid. My IQ has dropped about 50 points and I wear these things called bib overalls. I have an aversion to work and my sisters keep comin on to me... Pedro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtz Posted February 5, 2001 Share Posted February 5, 2001 LOL, this was fun! I added a Hellcat and a Puma (buttoned and w/o ammo), the Hellcat ended up immobile halfway through the bocage!
