Lanzfeld Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks.... For including close combat (abstracted). For including flammers and fires in future additions. For onboard indirect fire. For individual nic-knacks on tanks. For FOW trenches. For water cooled MG's that fire long bursts. I could go on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Massive maps 2.5 miles square, wow. Sheer amount scenarios/fighting you could stage just on one map! This mixed with ALL of the terrain features both natural and man made structures with custom prepared forces at your disposal. Boggles the mind tactically. Worth the year wait? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Great water terrain and the variety of bridges to go with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Glad I'm still on the battlefront mailing list: best gaming news in years! It's also good to see so many 'senior' member names here again. Brings back good memories, that does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 It's also good to see so many 'senior' member names here again. Brings back good memories, that does. Been thinking about some of the names that haven't shown up yet, Like Akidorat, Bullethead, 155 Treeburst, Bluesteel, and others. Where are they now?

Windsurfer Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Now this indeed was a great Christmas present. Looking forward to getting back into the bocage. Has been a while for this old CM vet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are they now? Michael All out there, looking for their Entwives I should think. They might return now though, as the horns of the never ending battle can be heard again /Mattias 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might return now though, as the horns of the never ending battle can be heard again /Mattias Yeah, it might take a while for "word" to get around, but I have no doubt that the irresistable draw of a 2nd interpretation of CMBO will bring longtime and longlost players alike back into the fold... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Ah good to see you again JuJu.

DaveyJJ Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Massive maps 2.5 miles square, wow. Sheer amount scenarios/fighting you could stage just on one map! This mixed with ALL of the terrain features both natural and man made structures with custom prepared forces at your disposal. Boggles the mind tactically. Worth the year wait? Worth the year wait? I've been waiting in OSX for far more than a year to play some superb BF goodness like the old days of CMBO. And a 2.5 square mile map? Huge. Huge! I play most of my 10mm company and smaller wargaming on terrain that represents never more than 400-600 yards square. 2.5 miles is heaven to me. And as a designer/artist/geographer I can't wait to make my own scenarios in said terrain. Lovely. Positively giddy and shaking with excitement. ...the irresistable draw of a 2nd interpretation of CMBO will bring longtime and longlost players alike back into the fold... I'm back, I"m back!!! My hard drive has been waiting many years for this. I fear an addiction only matched by the original release of CMBO (my favourite game since I first owned a Mac back in the late 1970s) coming on, oh yes I do. CMBO was a religion to me ... nothing since has ever come close. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 And a 2.5 square mile map? Huge. Huge! Don't confuse "miles square" with square miles. An area 2.5 miles square would enclose 6.25 square miles. ...since I first owned a Mac back in the late 1970s... You sure that was a Mac? I thought Apple didn't start making Macs until 1984.

I thought Apple didn't start making Macs until 1984. Michael Apple IIe then. Macs since my first 512 in 1984. And yes, my math was wrong. That's what I get for posting too fast in the morning (and why I married a writer/editor). Or being too old, perhaps. It's still an amazing map area ... can't wait to create maps for the community. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are they now? Michael The names that I remember the best 'from the good old days' are Fionn and Madmatt. Although I seem to remember Fionn was banned at a certain point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I seem to remember Fionn was banned at a certain point? Yes. He was a good chap but couldn't seem to control his temper. Since he was doing his internship at the time, he may have been under a lot of stress. In which case, he might have been well advised to withdraw voluntarily until his life had settled down. But who among has not made similar mistakes? Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that he didn't deserve it once in a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
