1. What is that?

Never heard of it. I'm a rabid gamer currently involved in Call of Duty and BattleField 1942 on-line competition (tournaments). This game anything like those?

2. WW2 Strategy Game

The first dealt with the European Theater (Post D-Day)

The second dealt with the Eastern Front

This one is the Mediterranean Theater including North Africa, Italy, Sicily and Crete from 1940 to 1945.

Great, great games.

3. damn good news!

These are the best wargames I've played,and I've played quite a few.The one-minute of action is pure genius.It gets pretty tense watching your guys walk into an ambush and having to wait to issue new orders!

4. or when they run away

Lol...walking forward one minute, the next....duck and run!

5. Are you or Cush on any ladders?

like Battlefront or Rugged Defense?

I don't have enough posts to be able to email either of you, I will
put a thread in the Opponents Wanted forum on BTS with my email if
either of you want a game.


(No wonder I couldn't find this thread again, I was searching for
"Afrika Korps"!)

6. GREAT GAME! I have Beyond Overlord!

I'd liek to get the next one, Operation Barbarossa. I will give Afrika Corps a try!

7. CMBB is _a lot_ harder

than CMBO, infantry won't go anywhere if they are taking
MG fire. Tanks also have morale, they will retreat from
enemy tanks they feel they can't kill (even if they have
a flank shot!) and will bail if they take heavy arty or
gunfire.
