Scorpion mine flail tank in CMAK?

[Becket]

I've just started into Latimer's "Alamein" and was reading about the "Scorpion" -- a modified Matilda tank that was fitted with a flail on the front end that continuously impacted the ground in front of the Scorpion as it moved forward. The vehicle was used to clear mine fields in front of infantry advances (though engineers followed in its wake to clean up remaining mines).

Any chance of this vehicle making an appearance in CMAK?

That would be sweet, but I wouldn't look for it. The game engine would have to be modified to allow them to clear mines, and that is not going to happen until the new engine is coded. This was asked for back when CMBO was a new game, and as you see has not made it in yet. Maybe in a couple more years...

Ah, I missed the CMBO times, and thus was unaware of the technical limitation. That's too bad, but something to hope for in the next iteration.

I begged, I cried, I wrung my hands, I offered my first-born to Madmatt (if and when it arrives), I put ashes on my head, I went without sleep for months.

Yet I could not get the T34 mineroller into CMBB.

I won't even start on my campaign for inclusion of the 10cm K18, the misery caused to me is unspeakable.

Wail and whinge, oh doomed lot. For without the T34 mineroller, what worth have our lives?

Ooops, lunchtime.
