Anybody let me know if they're up for it with the params below, CMBB Meeting Eng Aug 44, it's a typical well-proven "buy what you like" setup.
For example if you want to spend to the hilt on Tigers to hurl at me go ahead, I'll have a saucer of milk waiting for them.. Or if you want to flood the map with crack SS stormtroopers do that instead and I'll treat them to a glass of U-Boat fuel each...
Use whatever tactics and tricks you like, I couldn't care less.
Notice the terrain is heavy trees / medium hills to give a nice chessboard feel, definitely not wide open tank country..
I might be willing to negotiate some individual parameters such as another time period, or 3000 pts etc, hell I might even consider cmak Italy..
PS - To encourage lesser-experienced players to have a pop at me, we won't bother reporting the result if I win if your played/lost record is worse than 50-50. But if you win, we report the result ;)

Or we can play 'em both at the same time, I'm kewl..
And tell me if you want 'em zipped or not..
Hey everybody,I can handle another couple of dozen of you too, so keep the replies to my challenge rolling in.. ;)

Sorry for keeping you waiting 15 minutes mate but I've just been setting 3 up for Iron Mike and 205etc, plus of course I'm fighting off the entire German CM ladder community in the WPC club and doing playtesting work at the Proving Grounds and posting stunning tactical diagrams and screenshots in Koens forum AND trying to watch Clint Eastwood in "Firefox" at the same time..
Okay I've just sent you a cmbb 3000pts, I'll take the Russki side, wouldn't want to deprive you of all those Tigers, Panthers and them little whooshy things, what are they called?...Oh yes, shreks... ;)
EDIT - HEY whats your e-mail address anyway? I just got this message -

If there's still room for another game, I'll give you a game in CMAK with those QB ME parameters.
2 or 3k Italy 20 - 25 turns variable
variable rarity if you like
I prefer Combined arms, but can do the unrestricted
My only additional request is that all guns be towed at start. ;)

Be my guest and please,please spend to the hilt on guns for yourself if you like ;)
Okay a files on its way to you,

I'd better be the long-suffering Brits again with their inferior armour ;)
You about got that file rolling out? Careful what you ask for, you might get it!:devious:

It rolled out to you 13 hours ago at 0400 hrs GMT mate, I'm waiting on you ;)
Hey doods if you don't get a file back from me within a day or two at most it means I'm dead or even worse- got married..
I'm usually on the PC from getting up at 12 noon British time until beddy-bys at 4 a.m. apart from when I occasionally go out looking for middleaged women in sexy high heels and bright red lipstick, or if the Jobcentre start threatening to stop my dole if I don't start looking for a job..
Otherwise my average file return rate is 10 mins most of the time..

No mate, YOU got the major vic !
I surrendered because I decided the map favoured me too much :)
We Knights Cross holders have to abide by unwritten rules of gallantry and honour,in fact I should have suggested scrapping the map right at the start as soon as we saw it was unbalanced, and generated another.
I shall be doing a post tomorrow about how the problem of unfair QB maps can be overcome after I've thought it out a bit more..
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/aaaCMPOSWPC.jpg
...about how the problem of unfair QB maps can be overcome ...Easy - pregenerate and tweak and let you opponent see it. How many commanders of medium/large forces go blind into an area where they have no clue what it looks like? That's one advantage AK/BB have over BO - the ability to import a map.

Okay mate how does an Italy June 44 Meeting Eng sound, you the American side ?
We can call it Normandy and use the stunning bocage map I recently made (below). German armour can't cross tall hedges.. (I've attached the map in a mail for you to scrutinise)
3000 pts
Midday, sunny clear
20+
Unrestricted units, unrestricted quailty, standard rarity,extreme fogofwar.
Basically flood the map with bazookas if you like, to pick off my cheesy panzer hordes as they try to find gaps in the hedgerows, sounds fun..
Are you familiar with tall hedges? -
Tests show that -
1 - They block LOS unless an enemy is skulking about 10 metres on the other side of it,then you can see him.
But if he's further away, the only way you can see him is if you get close up to the t-hedge yourself (within about 5 metres of it) so you can peek over.
2 -Infantry actually in the t-hedge get no concealment from it, the enemy can spot them as easily as if they were in open ground.
3 - Only full-tracked ALLIED vehs can cross a t-hedge, Germans CAN'T..
Should be interesting, I've never played in bocage before..
Any parameters you want to haggle over, go ahead..
