Andrew H. Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 In another post, Charles mentioned as an aside that BFC would be producing a CMBB Strategy guide. I'd be interested in more details about this guide, like what's in it and when can we order it. Will the guide have a description of all of the vehicles in CMBB? Maybe with a little graphic of the vehicle? That would be a pretty cool reference work, and not just for CM.

Jowa Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Is there any more information about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Psst - it's still a secret, so don't tell anybode else, ok? Yes, we're working on a strategy guide for CMBB. It's written by Mark H. Walker and should reach final design stages sometime soon. And yes, it will include an overview of nearly all units in the game - with data, but without pictures (heck, that would be a few hundred pages right there...) More news if and when we'll be closer to production and have a release date. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadHunter Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 I'd certainly purchase one, as well. I just bought both CM games, and anything that helps me to be a better player is surely worth the money.

Nippy Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Originally posted by Mike: Oh goody - a strategy guide for a tactical game. Well at least it'll be short!!Says you! I want to figure out the spell to turn the rusted T-34 Gun Barrel into the Uber-L33t Tank Killer! I know it involves the God of Panzer-O-Philes but I'm not sure which King Tiger Road wheel lug nuts I'm supposed to offer in exchange. Also, how do I gain access to the baren plains of Kursk. I want to power-level Whittman up a few levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeknodathon Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Oh... the chapter on retreating should be good... one can never retreat too much with rapid-firing Nobbits and.. eerrr... ahem... certain wolves crossing me line of sight. See, I'm very slow releasing me *honk*. It makes a difference. I'm not sure how, but it does. Oh, well... bother Yeknod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

76mm Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Will the strategy guide include a CD with all unit info (including unit costs by experience level) in spreadsheet or database format? That would be great! 76mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
