John Kettler Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 ACTOR, Am still working on firming up my guest list, but right now, at most, it'll be yours truly plus one. Will be happy to bring sodas or some such. Regards, John Kettler P.S. Got so excited I almost showed up this Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you all about it if you want to meet for lunch when you get back. I think I have to be in a review on the 30th, but the 31st is probably ok. I actually expected them to announce the release and start taking orders when I go to a conference for a week at the end of August. I guess I got lucky.

Cull Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 I'm travelling to San Francisco on vacation 17th-25th.....let's see.....ditch friend, rent car, drive, preview, rent room in Corona cause I'm too tired, drive back next day.... ok, I'm not quite CM freaky enough to do that. I may, however, spend that day with envious thoughts of what's going on down Corona way..... wait....how long a drive from SF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACTOR Posted July 16, 2002 Author Share Posted July 16, 2002 Just a little reminder, this preview will start at 11:00 am (PST) this Saturday the 20th of July. It is planned to end around 6:00 pm, so Gyrene you better make the trip from Chino post-haste after you become free in the evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreasyPig Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 So close but yet so far... 6 1/2 hours from Queen Creek, Arizona. Hey Redeker,You planning to attend the Gold Cup for the Woo series in October? GreasyPig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't planning on it, but I've been meaning to attend a race at the Speedway for some time. Heck, I've lived here for almost ten years and still haven't been to a race. Why? Will you be heading up here? P.S. A schedule I just pulled up on the Internet shows the Chico dates are September 5, 6 and 7. Is this correct? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 ACTOR, Can now confirm that there will definitely be two (myself and a fellow treadhead) and quite possibly three if another friend succumbs to temptation. We will be bringing sodas and such and will be there at 11 a.m. We may not be able to stay until 6 p.m., though, because our driver has a dog which can't be left all day in his apartment. He's coming up from Long Beach and will be here in Carson by around 9:30, meaning the doggie will have a long day if we stay the full period, then drive back here to drop me off, thence back to Long Beach. As for what we want to see, think seduction of ASL players, seduction of battlers with miniatures. Thus, we need excellent eye candy and scenarios or demos which show the amazing capabilities, flexibility and sweep of the game in covering the Eastern Front. Show us what we can't do in CM. One of my friends has played the game and has given his buddy an earful about it, to the effect that he'll probably forget ASL after seeing this. I particularly want to see the new artillery system, covered arcs, the assault command, factories and other new terrain; armor command and control, whether Panther and Tiger turrets move at faster, more realistic speeds, and I want to see the overhauled gunnery and terminal effect modeling. Extreme FOW is a must. If you want to blow some minds, have some SU/ISU-152s, Stalins and the like against appropriate German forces. Show what an 88, a Tiger or a Nashorn could really do when long LOS ranges were available. Show how speedy and maneuverable the T-34 was (be sure to have tank descents), and the awesome power of a Russian artillery prep. Katyushas please! Even a snippet of massed Russian infantry Urrahing and attacking would be most appreciated. I'd like to see wind effects on smoke and fires spreading. If there's time, T-34s vs. Barbarossa period German armor would be nice. Please E-mail me privately with your address, directions (presumably going East on the 91 from Carson) and any other items you think I may need to know. Am totally jazzed!

ACTOR Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 The countdown has begun. John, I think I can handle your requests, but you will have to be the ultimate judge of that. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WineCape Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 John Kettler, I EXPECT a full report on your above requests (obviously with the limits that BTS has instructed ACTOR to certain features that should be not mentioned) when you come back. You could also email it too me if you are so kindly inclined Otherwise we will increase you section strength in the forthcoming RoW III CMBB tourney! Regards and have a brilliant CMBB time at ACTOR's house(?). ACTOR, now's your chance to play "god" with those ASL souls visiting you and convince them that hex/board WWII games are starting to fade with every incarnation of Combat Mission.

rune Posted July 18, 2002 Share Posted July 18, 2002 Actor, Let me know if you want someone to play over the net, arrangements can be made. Rune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACTOR Posted July 18, 2002 Author Share Posted July 18, 2002 Winecape, I will most certainly do my best to completely convert these ASL souls. I suspect that CMBB will do most of the work for me. Rune, I will let you know, Schrullenhaft is going to have a few folks at his house on the same day and I am trying to arrange something with him. If I run trouble you will hear from me.

ACTOR Posted July 19, 2002 Author Share Posted July 19, 2002 Sending this up, preview is this Saturday folks. Also for you Northern California CMBO Fans, we have one person driving down from Sacramento. So anyone not willing to make the trip is a panzy sissy boy in my mind.

CaSCa Posted July 20, 2002 Share Posted July 20, 2002 Call me a pansy sissy boy, but when my van pilgrimage idea failed to garner much interest I became depressed and made other plans. Please feel free to have a good time without me. Sob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
