Well, after almost two years to the day, 3MiF is wrapping up. Bruce and I have finished our games, each seeing a victory for the Axis. It would seem that the French were going to have a long haul to liberate their homeland. This tournament was great fun and I tip my hat to Kerry for seeing...

Bruce and I are wrapping up the last two turns as well. Great fun.

Thanks for the input, Malm. I suspect, though, that it has to do with the nature of the buildings themselves. They don't have doors on all sides. You can have two buildings squashed against each other and you can't move interally from one building to the next. This is realistic, yes, but in...

Good news is that OFP2 is apparently in the works.

Bruce and I have ended at about the same spot as Malm and Monty. We are in the process of negoitiating mutual cease fire. I will offer my complements to Bruce, though. He did a fine job on both attack and defensive games, managing to box me in and press the advantage. I think the outcome...

Ummm, well.....Bruce and I are a little over halfway through, if I recall. It's been a fun game, but the past four months has been difficult to get regular turns in, for both sides.

Size of the monitor is an important factor in finding what is a comfortable resolution to use. A 17" monitor at anything greater than 1280x1024 can get too small to work with. Reticles the size of pushpins. Readouts that you have to lean in to see. I have found that at 17", 1024 x 768 is a...

All I can say is THANK GOODNESS for reinforcements. My games have been meat grinders.

It's still the latest one that I have. Great fun doing the single-player. Only done a little multiplayer with it and lately I haven't had the time to get online, but it's a very good MP game.

BTW- This is a very fun scenario, but the most maddening part is trying to get the troops to move under cover from building to building. It's hard to tell where the troops are going to go before the StratAI marks the waypoints, which more often than not sends them out the front screen door...

for my games vs Bruce, we are about 10 turns in, I am afraid, but we've been picking up the pace as of late: as Allies- A very rough start as the Germans had well-emplaced AT infantry in the buildings on the right flank road. The tanks didn't know what hit them. Nevertheless, a mechanized...

This has not happened for me, thus far. Kind of comical to picture a halftrack trying to dislodge itself from the front of a building.

Bruce and I have made a start of it, but we are only at turn 4 or so. Interesting opening game, though.

What I like about this game format so far is that I can enjoy the action of a really REALLY large battle, and yet only have to worry about commanding a subsection of the troops. For the rest, I can sit back and watch the drama unfold. Kinda fun knowing that the success of your teammates are at...

How about we have Bruce be the Commander and pick his two subordinates? It will be hard for the 4 of us to work this out by drawing straws or beauty contest, so we might as well have one person make a decision. Bruce?

Keep me on the roster if you need a fill-in person. Don't care what team or side of the Rhine I am from. Kerry can post an email to me to alert me.

In the current 3MiF battle on the outskirts of Jort, Mompariglia closes his Cromwells on a position occupied by a lone Tiger tank. This one proved a tough nut for the Allies to crack. :devious: http://www.on-safari.net/rob/CMBOjort1_0001.wmv 18 MB Windows Media File Enjoy!

Okay, cool. I used the 'Email' feature in the forums, but maybe it doesn't work right. In any case, we need just one more man to wrap this up.

Well, I wrote to John Osborne already, but I'll just put it out in the forum if it helps get one more team out there. I'll be happy to be on a 10th team if you need a guy. Otherwise, best of luck, all of you.

WHQ newsreels are coming in from across the Atlantic! A great battle at Escoville pitted the Allied British against an attacking Axis force. The first of the newsreels clocks in at 9 MB, showing a surprise clash between infantry platoons maneuvering through the thick forest just outside of...
