Old School waiting for CM

Sniff. Man, that makes me nostalgic. I'm sad that I lost my original tag (sage) and member number (180?) when the board crashed just before CMBO was released.

Ahh, the great crash of May, 2000! I remember it well. In the end, I believe it made us stronger.

Forgive me - its been a huge amount of time since i last posted - 2001/2 i think. I have lurked, and now wait patiently for CM:SF, but when i was last here Fionn seemed to be doing whole swathes of AARs as the Germans and i spent days reading them - they were great - did it all go wrong, or have i got the wrong man

I also have been lurking, waiting for the next CM and interested in seeing how ToW turns out. Meanwhile, War in the Pacific have filled my PBEM crave. Nothing like a 3 year PBEM game to keep you on your toes smile.gif

Good to see many of the other 'old timers' still around and supporting the CM series.

Yes I also rememer Fion's good posts. I saved all his AAR's I could find. I even made word documents out of his articles from Mad Mat's site for the early CMBO AAR's including "Sunken Lane"

From memory he left the forum after after a heated disscussion about tactics, but I will not elaborate. But I have seen posts from him in other forums awhile ago. Hope he is still well.

I was more than happy when BFC announced the modern setting for CMx2. Their choice was on spot. I mean you have a war going on out there, widely covered by the media, symbol of the East-West clash, with hardware, environments and situations never covered before in a wargame and the very same moment you go 60 years back to recreate the same old stuff?

I really cant wait for CMSF...I wasnt aware of CMBO when it first came out and the waiting for CMBB/CMAK wasnt that tense because of the same engine. Now, I can't remember waiting for a game so anxiously. Currently recovering from a knee surgery, I sit many hours in front of my pc turning myself into a refreshing monkey, desperate for any new word or screenie about CMSF. I can stand my knee's pains..it's the waiting I cant stand :D
