WineCape Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Look here for wargaming history in the making. And Charles' prophetic words in the last sentence: "You won't be disapointed."

WineCape Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Digging up some saved data on my HDD that crashed last year, I discovered this WarGamer article by Martin Turewicz that got me interested in CMBO just before the release of the demo. CMBO's demo was a killer! Can still remember VoT or "Valley of Trouble", playing Americans and the nasty surprise of that Pz. IVJ (was it?) rolling over the hills toward my beaten-up troops in the village. Those were the days... Remember this? I'm ever so grateful for Martin for leading me onto the path of nirvana!

Seanachai Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Congratulations to BFC for creating the most marvelous games of any sort, let alone wargames, that I have ever played. And condolences for having enabled the Peng Challenge Thread in the process. Or perhaps that's 'ennobled'? Hard to say, hard to say. There are times when I feel like I've abused their kindness by simply paying the fifty some dollars for the games themselves. I've met so many interesting (and occasionally disturbing) people through this Forum, and had so many hours of rather odd amusement in the process, as well as logging more hours on these games than all the others I've ever owned put together, that I feel like I should be paying a monthly subscription for the games rather than a flat fee. CMers have come to my home (most of them invited, so far), rallied to my aid, and showered me with a deeply, deeply satisfying collection of cards, postcards and letters filled with hatred. Hail to thee, BFC! Happy birthday, Combat Mission! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruthless Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 BUMPING this thread with this quote from a very old article written by Bruce Geryk from gamesdomain.com about CM (back when it was just a twinkle in Charles' eye): I have been following, with some interest, the discussion board maintained by Big Time Software regarding its computer games. For the past several months, this board has been dominated by people clamoring for the release of Computer Squad Leader. What I have found fascinating is the seeming dichotomy between those who want a simple port of the boardgame and those who yearn for a game which incorporates every possible detail regarding World War II combat. Few people come out and say it, but no matter how many details have been mentioned previously, someone always ends up adding just a couple more. Big Time Software seem to be very sympathetic to the latter view, but temper this with a promise to make most of it "invisible" to the gamer. Unfortunately, as I point out below, this is impossible to do if one wants to actually keep the final product a "game." Interesting, I thought... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Wildman Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Did all of those penetration charts ever get published? I remember they ran out of room on the CD, but were they every available for download? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
