fogrob Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I just ordered the bundle pack and can't wait to play. I just have one question...should I play cmbo first and then head on to cmbb? I was considering loaning one to my buddy in order to get him hooked on it as well. Anyway, can't wait to play some of you! Sorry one last thing...how indepth is the manual for both games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytarget Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 i ordered the bundle and started with cmbo i figured i might as well start at the beginning and i was afraid if i jumped into cmbb i might not fire up cmbo the manuals for both are lengthy and cover all aspects of the game as well as you could expect a manual to do naturally you have to just flat out play them for much of it to make sense, so you'll probably refer back over and over at first as you play start up some games against the AI to get the hang of it - then come on back here and let us know when you want to play against a human and we'll have at it (cmbo or cmbb - although i'll admit to being a total neophyte myself on cmbb, i only loaded it up last week after playing cmbo exlusively for the last 4 or 5 months) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 I suggest you start out with CMBO because it was the first game out. Starting on CMBB might spoil you for going back to CMBO. That at least's my understanding although I don't have CMBB - yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fogrob Posted March 20, 2003 Author Share Posted March 20, 2003 Thanks for the info guys. The good news is that the game arrived today! Even better is that it's my day off! I've finished reading the manual and am getting ready to patch up and attempt the tutorial. I did notice that there's not a chart listing troop stats in the book. Is there a chart somewhere online? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytarget Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 so, did you decide to start with cmbo? as for stats, not sure what you're looking for, but some stats will be on any unit you care to hit enter on others here might be able to steer you somewhere on-line for more info 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneymaxx Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 On your first question, I would say that you should definetly start with CMBO unless you have a lot of experience with other wargames. I realy mean a lot, I played CMBO for 2 years, a lot , then I switched to CMBB. It was so much more difficult, that I sold it on Ebay. Going back to CMBO I found it quite simple, some even call CMBO the action version of the CM series. So in the end I bought CMBB on Ebay and I'm very happy with it. If you don't want to be too frustrated start with CMBO. You can even upgrade the looks of it by downloading mods that improve the graphics a lot. Just search for mods here in this forum. You can find a unit database following this link: http://users.erols.com/chare/cm/ There are to versions, one for CMBO and one for CMBB. The person who did this is definetly an angel, for CMBO players at least, or has way to much time . I hope this helps you to get started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fogrob Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 I started with cmbo last night and I really like it. Although I've lost the tutorial twice now (due to my tanks both being ko'd by turn 5) I still think it's a lot of fun. I've also installed both of mad dogs packs. Makes the game look really good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easytarget Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 keep us posted - when you've had enough of the AI and gotten the hang of the game post back here and we'll hook up for some PBEM'ing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
