murpes Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Not really a preview, but more of a "coming soon." Nothing we haven't heard before, but still mainstream press is kind of cool. I discovered CMBO through PC Gamer. [ August 28, 2002, 09:39 PM: Message edited by: murpes ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Harrison Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 You didnt scan the other pages!!! That was a new picture of an upclose russian officer though, I had not seen that one. And I dont recall seing those T34's before! Thanks for the pics. Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 They called us fanatics! :eek: Well. . .maybe we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ol one eye. Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 I also found out about CMBO through PC Gamer, it was the 'best of' issue a couple years back I think. It was just a little blurb about a revolutionary war game with a couple of old pics ( no mods even!) and I went online and ordered it the next day. Thanks.

Michael Dorosh Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 OMGGGGGG!! The Russian officer has captured German eyeglasses!!!! I don't know why Kwazy modelled the Mark I Dienstbrille, though, since they were upgraded in 1940 - well before Barbarossa began, with no permission granted for 'wearing out' privileges.

Thanks.It was probably the same issue that turned me on to CMBO - "100 Greatest Games of All Time." Which would also explain why our member numbers are relatively close. I'd never played any war games, but figured if it was as good and revolutionary as they said it was I should give it a shot. They were right. I played the demo for about an hour before ordering my copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgars Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 If i'm not mistaken, that officer is NKVD one. Look at the blue "ring" around the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ol one eye. Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Yeah! That was the one! I was always interested in WW2 but the strategy games available before this did'nt really appeal to me ( Woopideedoo, hex grids! ) so when I saw what this was about, I jumped on it. I have'nt bought any game since. If anyone on this forum works for PC Gamer, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefly Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Hmm.. 60 scenarios. Is that a typo or have BFC added 10? Nice to see Bruce got a job though, I used to enjoy his wargame reviews on Gamesdomain before they were bought out by thhe great Satan (aka my ISP).

ParaBellum Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 IIRC it was during a cold, sunny spring morning in 1999. I was sitting on a bench in Beihai park in Beijing and was reading an issue of CGW. From time to time I bought such a gaming mag although it was quite expensive. I stumbled across a small preview about a new wargame called "Combat Mission". The funny pic didn't really catch my attention, but something told me I should check their website. Turn-based/realtime hybrid? Maybe it could be interesting, who knows... Since that day, from time to time (and when I find it here in Germany) I buy a copy of CGW, just because they brought me to this absolutely wonderful game.

Jarmo Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 But.. but.. don't cults usually have a charismatic leader? BFC staff... well... Well.. maybe we are other kind of cult? Can't be monarchy either.. that just doesn't have the right ring to it. Maybe a dictatorship? Enlightened dictatorship? Nahh.. just kidding.. we're a cult.

Soddball Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Cult? Fanatical? Us? :confused: They must be confusing the foaming inputs of Doug Beman, Michael Emrys and Michael Dorosh with the Counterstrike forums. I know who I'd rather have around. w00t!

Maybe this latest picture was taken after the war when Rumania was an ally of the USSR. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
