First let me say, Hello Pete! Long time no talk :)
I don't think official armor rules are necessary in BB with standard rarity on. If you are concerned about it, then I say these three simple house rules will create the sought after balance.
1. If 1941, lets play without KVs.
2. If 1942...
Nice job, Pete! ;)
Now, where is your "feed" so that I can kiss it? LOL
I know, you will say, "ok smart ass, post something in German so I can get a laugh", right? :) ;) :)
How about a game sometime, Herr General?

Aki!
You still out there? Were you finally seduced by the Dryads? Did you finally join the ranks of the Trolls and Hill Giants never to be seen again by mortal eyes?
You owe me a drink and a game of CMBB don't forget!
LOL

Re: Tiger Hunting
Here, here! I second the motion! Please provide a movie of this most excellent feat! Killing Tigers with T34s? My, my. I would be duly impressed :) ;) ;) ;)
I think you have to look at it in the context of the whole battle. For instance, lets take a 2000 point ME. With standard rarity in May 1943, a Tiger I plt costs 1174 points. You can purchase 4 plts(12 T34s) for that cost. If the German player wants to add some support for the Tigers in the form...
My initial feeling is to leave things as they are without worrying about rule sets so soon. I think rarity does a good job at creating balance as well as realism.
Tanks finally get thier due in CMBB as opposed to the fragile tin cans modeled in CMBO. Gone are the days of elobarate moves and...
I agree with you, Lurker. I think the fp factors are unbalanced and not based on reality. How can a MP 40 produce the same amount of killing power as a MG? Not very likely.
I also understood that the MG34 and MG42 were almost the same weapon, except the MG42 had a tripod and often came with...
Well, more problems seem to be linked to German version playing US version.
Just finished a game with Scipio and the end game screen had the results reversed! There definately appears to be compatability issues.
Stranger and stranger...
Well, IMO the factories are the first disappointment I have come across in CMBB. They are plain, symmetrical and too open. There are no obstructions or "walls" within the interior of the factories, only little doodads on the floors. I am reminded of several shoeboxes lined up next to each other...
LOL!
I knew there had to be a reason for that, Pete! ;)
I hope the new damage model gives you a better chance! :) :) :)
See you on the Steppe with lot and lots of tanks!

So, what of it? Any interest in a GIC ladder? I played hundreds of CCI/II/III when they were in vogue. I loved what they offered at the time. An improved 3D version will be nice to see.
I will get GIC when it comes out. I already spent 52 bucks on CMBB (shipping included). I must say the demo...
I love that move. I own the DVD actually. The vikings were very well done as were the fight scenes and landscape visuals.
Ok, send along an email when you are sorted out. Good luck with your files. It is scary when HDs go.
I played the Citadel scenario already and also started the Yelna...
