Denwad Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 I recieved CMBB yesterday in the mail. I almost thought they forgot the game until I opened the manual. Whew, I started hyperventilating during the install. All I can say is : :eek: And the Turan II sucks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiggDogg Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Denwad, You presently possess the absolute best wargame to have ever graced a computer or a paper map. Study hard, learn from your opponents, and ask questions. Also, quite importantly, utilize the CMBO/BB Anthology of Useful Posts at the top of the Tips & Tricks board. If you do the above, if you apply your lessons learned, and if the game agrees with you, you will have a most enjoyable time playing this game. Cheers, Richard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denwad Posted August 15, 2003 Author Share Posted August 15, 2003 Maybe true, but I played the battle "Battle of Minors" and the Turan IIs I had were no match for the enemy Panzerkampfwagen IV. I tried to flank one but one I could not see evidently threw a round into my turret I ended up trying to use the Zyrinys to fend them off, and then I lost Oh well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You poor, poor benighted game orphan. How was I to know?! Probably the best way to mark this passage to game manhood is to cut off the tip of the little finger of your off-hand, and send it to Grog Dorosh, Somewhere in Canada, via Fed-Ex. Don't worry over much about the exact address. They're pretty much used to this sort of package showing up in Manitoba, eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kipanderson Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Hi, Yup, I agree. There are a number of fine wargames out there, Tacops, Steelbeasts are two such examples. But in my view, CMBB is simply in a different stratosphere to any other war game. It is both more fun… and more historically accurate than any other game. I still cannot believe my luck that BFC decided to build such a series of games. In fact it is so historically accurate that it is also a form of military history. If were taking a class in military history, studying the Eastern Front, I would recommend a bunch of the usual David Glantz books, plus “go and play with CMBB.” All good fun, All the best, Kip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seanachai Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Originally posted by eichenbaum: I wunder if Seanachai plays CM at all. He's bothering us with issues that are all very un-CM. Just fulfilling my role in the food-chain, Eichenbaum. And of course I play CM. No one in the Peng Challenge is slower at returning turns than I am. Ask any of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
