Sgt Schultz Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 That would tide us over until game release. Let all pre-orders download the manual. BF would get more pre-orders. We would get something to do. * 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Sure, except we are still working on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Schultz Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 I promise not to sue if changes occur by release date. Think of all the pre-orders as volunteer grammar and spelling proofreaders. * 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilcar1967 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Will there be the same describtion of tanks and weapons as ther was in the CMSF manual? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7thGalaxy Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Will there be the same describtion of tanks and weapons as ther was in the CMSF manual? I can't imagine the grogs being happy about a description for the M4 which began "This is a M1A1HC..." so I imagine the descriptions have changed But I can't see why they'd take descriptions out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 As good as this sounds...that only means no game this week But then, there really hasn't been any realistic hope for that for the last week anyway. So no loss really. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostRider3/3 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Well Holy Jesus! no game this week means another Marathon of Band of Brothers, Saving Ryans Privates, and "A bridge too Far" That should hold me over till Saturday. Then I will start with the "World at War" series.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibsonm Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 A Bridge Too Far doesn't count - has all these armies in it that didn't make the cut for the first game (don't want you getting your hopes up). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... but its still a great movie.. where else can you watch a whole bunch of Sherman tanks roll off. It will make me enjoy the first release that much more, knowing that greater things are on the horizon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes but the agony of noticing the wrong track link or the fact that some are Super Sherman's etc. Let alone the Walker Bulldog wreck being pushed off the road, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gibsonm Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Ah well look away when the "Tiger" arrives. I especially like the chock they had to put in to ensure that the drum was run over, rather than just pushed away when it crosses the bridge. If you want a "real" Arnhem movie watch "Theirs is the Glory". Black and white Shot in 1946 in location No Actors - all veterans Real Tigers, Panthers, Pz IIIs, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie_Oz Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 The thing that spoiled that movie for me? It is von Rundstedt and Model at the map table working out where to send the SS panzers and some how working out that the Allies only had enough for one attack and then asking who would lead it "Mongomery ? OOOOO HO HO HO HO oh Valter you always making the yoke ! " (this about the bloke who just kicked their butts in Normandy) Nien it will be Patton, so let's get the units that will be most needed to stop him and move it to the other end of the front ................ That sort of rubbish was really to sell the film to the US market and really destroyed any historical value it might have had. Was it a Bulldog or a Chaffee that gets pushed out of the way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Regarding the Shermans: The producers were only able to locate four of the many Sherman tanks seen on the screen. The rest were plastic molds set on top of 88" Land Rovers. VW Beetle chassis were used for German Kubelwagens. The tank treads didn't reach the ground, but the film is edited so that this isn't noticeable (except in the section after Elliott Gould cries "Roll the ****ers / Roll 'em, fellas" there are shots of the tanks rolling over the bridge. One tank is seen silhouetted against the background and its tracks are clearly not moving as fast as they should be if the tank were real). Being as they were placed on LR 88s makes it completely acceptable... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
