Rick Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 Steve, Are we to understand from the word about the manual, that there are things going on in the game that we couldn't possibly know about just from the demos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Beman Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 Well, we have no clue as of yet how to do airstrike stuff, nor about using the editor. And we have to find out how to use the supersecret ultramega cheatcode so that all the infantry have Big Heads, the tanks are replaced with bumper cars, and instead of bullets all the guns shoot Silly String.

Guest Germanboy Posted June 16, 2000 Share Posted June 16, 2000 I believe there will be a large section dealing with the famous die-hard fascist Italian unit Forza Aioli, who were used in the counterattack against Carentan, riding their SP Cuccina Arrabiata wielding red wine bottles as if they were on a joy-ride through Tuscany. And the Schwere Volksfestspüle! Finally all the secret weapons of the Reich revealed to us in all their glory... ------------------ Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted June 17, 2000 Author Share Posted June 17, 2000 Well, Doug if you can't kick my butt until we get the full game, I guess you'll just have to harrass me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted June 17, 2000 Author Share Posted June 17, 2000 So I can't spell. Say man, it might be because of an error, but right now I'm way ahead of you on the ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Big Time Software Posted June 18, 2000 Share Posted June 18, 2000 Rick, Besides stuff that you guys haven't seen yet, there are many subtle things that you guys may or may not have picked up on yet even if they were in the Demo. BBS junkies will know a lot of these, but we generally have only answered questsions and therefore we haven't explained anything that someone hasn't asked us about (in general). Since there is so much going on in CM, and not everybody has read everything on this BBS, there will be many things that make people go "ah! I didn't know that" Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted June 18, 2000 Author Share Posted June 18, 2000 Sounds cool. Do you think knowing this stuff will improve our game play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy Posted June 18, 2000 Share Posted June 18, 2000 was just looking at Steves double post one had a time of 2.07 am and the other was 2.47 am. ------------------ IN VINO VERITAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted June 19, 2000 Share Posted June 19, 2000 Yeah, that was a strange one. Saw it happening, but no matter how fast you hit the STOP button... it isn't fast enough Rick, I am sure that you will find some stuff in the manual that will improve your skills. The more "subtle" stuff sometimes gives someone enough of an edge that they can do a bit better against a good player who is missing the little stuff.

Steve<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Even in the demo without the manual, those of you/us (whatever) that have mastered tricks like getting tanks into hull down postions and how to lay ambushes and how to target indirect mortar fire without LOS via a HQ with LOS already have an advantage over those who do not. I'm sure there will be many more of these little things covered in the manual and those who chose to actually read the manual will likely be alot better off for it. -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted June 19, 2000 Share Posted June 19, 2000 I don't know if anyone noticed the artillery airbursts or not. Are these real airbursts or are the trees causing it? Something else I noticed. When one of my machinegun crews was walking along, someone said "argh" and one of the crew went missing. Did he stumble and fallout or was he shot by a sniper? ------------------ Blessed be the Lord my strength who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight.

Peterk Posted June 19, 2000 Share Posted June 19, 2000 > I don't know if anyone noticed the > artillery airbursts or not. Are these real > airbursts or are the trees causing it? That's what happens when the arty comes down on units hiding in the woods. Airbursts are modelled and additional casualties/suppression can result due to them. > Something else I noticed.

Food poisoning is a possibility but more likely you are being shot at by something you can't see yet. Cool game, huh? p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted June 19, 2000 Share Posted June 19, 2000 CM also has artillery with VT (or pozit) fuzes, which can generate airbursts even on an open field without the use of trees. Highly lethal against infantry in the open, but quite expensive to buy for your regular head-to-head battle (much more expensive than a regular arty battery without VT).
