Soliloquy Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Is there any chance of getting an updated version of the alpha-code scenario played out by Fionn and Moon last year? Those AAR's were absolutely gripping, and were directly responsible for my pre-order at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted June 21, 2000 Share Posted June 21, 2000 Madmatt may have those on his CMHQ page. He has got a lot of everything there. Check it out, or write and ask him. I am sure Fionn still has copies, as does Moon. Those guys hang on to everything ------------------ Wild Bill Lead Tester/Designer Combat Mission-Beyond Overlord billw@matrixgames.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 Hehe... Bill is probably right, but they won't work. Too many changes were made for Charles to keep that map up-to-date way back when, so this scenario (unlike the Beta Demo ones) was lost forever during the development process. However... I think those guys took lots of pics of the map in the editor so if you really wanted to you could probably recreate it from scratch. I am sure lots of people would download it if you did so Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 I think I still have the Alpha version of CM somewhere on one of my zipdisks. ( I saved it for its historical interest even keeping it through 4 or 5 reformats since way back then). I'll see if I can find it. If I can then it should be really simple to remake the scenario.

Steve<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Are the AAR's still to be found on the web? There were enough pics in 'em to recreate the scenario map, and I think Moon and Fionn gave sufficient detail regarding their respective OOB's to 'clone' the whole shebang. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Fionn: (MINUS the US JABO... bastard! )<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> No, no, no!

Guest Madmatt Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 Yes! Like a good little bookeeper I have everything on CMHQ Archived! Just go to the Archives Section and you will find a link to the Original Alpha Battle AAR!!! This is the ENTIRE battle including the very rare last 11 turns PLUS Steve's own debrief of the entire battle. Some great stuff in there and like many others, its what first got my attention and directly led to my involvement in the project... So you can blame it!!!

Gen. Sosaboski Posted June 22, 2000 Share Posted June 22, 2000 Ahh Fionn...you would've been very ticked off the other day when my fighter bomber eliminated two SS rifle squads with rockets... ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soliloquy Posted June 28, 2000 Author Share Posted June 28, 2000 Top Fionn, email me if you happen to find the Alpha CM + scenario. I've got the terrain finished, but the Allied OOB is a little vague (esp. regarding troop skill level), and the elevation data is difficult to infer from the AAR pics.
