PEN Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I just got my very one copy of CMBB!! It is still wrapped in its thin, transparent plasticcover... There it goes... Unwrapped!! I am still at work, but in just a few hours, my arse will be handed to me by the AI. I shall enjoy every minute of it. I shall enjoy watching my troops panic and try to sneak thousands of meters over the open, snowcovered russian steppes. I shall laugh, as my biggest, meanest, most scary peace of hardware chickens out of an engagement with an unarmed german truck. This is better than christmass!!

MikeyD Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Play the scenario "A warm place to Sleep" first. Have you downloaded the new game patch? I don't know if they've got version 1.01 on disk yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal DI FOLCO Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Then try "Surprise at Balkovski" as German, and "JaegerMeister" as Russian. Then tell us the results and what you've learnt ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrapin Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 Is Balkovski the one with the tobacco factory? Whatever that one was, it was brutal. I did win it eventually, but it took awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEN Posted December 4, 2002 Author Share Posted December 4, 2002 Okay, came home from work a few hours ago.. Had to walk the dog, make dinner, let the wife finish her game of solitaire (told her it´s possible to play that using real cards - The look I got!!) and now! Finally!! I am about to install the game!!! Okay, just after I´ve downloaded the patch... A massive 68mb. Should take me no more than an hour... But when all is ready, I shall try out the missions you guys suggested. As long as they are not to big, I still have to go to work tomorrow. Really looking forwad to this. Just saying that, in case it wasn´t obvious. Off to the front, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grisha Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 (Whew!) With that thread title, I almost thought you had made a mod based on Ren & Stimpy [ December 04, 2002, 02:42 PM: Message edited by: Grisha ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEN Posted December 4, 2002 Author Share Posted December 4, 2002 Aah, Ren & Stimpy... Good wholesome family entertainment. They actually deserve a mod, thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PEN Posted December 5, 2002 Author Share Posted December 5, 2002 Tried out "A warm place to sleep", playing as axis. On the first go I got my ass kicked, but it was fun, and it was obvious, why it happened. On the second go, I coordinated my advance with the panzer better, and managed to destroy a lot of russian tanks and get my infantry into the nice, warm house.Victory ensured, I foolishsly thought, and boldly rushed my panzer forward to kill off the russian peasants in the area. Don´t really know what happened, but my Panzer began to blow up. Apparently the peasants in the area had armed themselves with more than pitchforks and turnips. Anyway, it was getting late, I quit the game and went to sleep, to dream of more battles on the eastern front. Wow, what a game. It´s probably harder than CMBO, but much more realistic, imho. Especially the infantry behaves much more like "real" people. Can´t wait to get home and have another go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
