wow this report was very cool. I've never read any report of this game - then again, I've never even heard of it. It seems like it was a lot more complicated than a simple game of SC to BR, but you had some real descriptive and interesting writing. Fun read!
8-9 probably a 9

| Its a disease - if i see the number '0' for comments, i go say first, then I read it. Now, that game you reported looks wiered and I'd choose my SC over it any day. If you werent you, the report would get a 6 or a 7, but since you ARE you, this'll get a 9 or a 10. |

| Cool. I had a little trouble following paragraphs since there were very few, but not big deal. Was it just me though, or was this game a bit one sided? Oh well. GJ. Make one with the russians and their human wave attack now. |

| 63.95.219.132 |
| Adder, I checked out your games. It seemed a little unpolished... but pretty good if you are looking for a 3d mass fps sort of deal. I'd still say that CCV is a better game imho. And the naval gunfire is a salve of 64 individual rounds that you see falling, landing within about 300 meter radius, which is pretty accurate for that day. Scoring close enough on a lightly armored tank destroyer isn't all that improbable... |

i thought cc3 was good, and cc4 was just as good/maybe a little better.
but i didn't even hear about cc5 until this report. I am wondering though, are snipers any good in this game? I know that in previous games, they were about as worthless as militia, and they rarely kept a squad fully pinned down.
in future games, i think that snipers should be a more valuable unit...in the push through the marianas, Japanese snipers hiding in trees and make-shift bunkers hindered allied troop movement quite impressively.
i think it's cool though, how armor isnt as important as it once was, you could have nothing but tanks and win any given single-player mission easily.

| Snipers still suck =[. I like a lot how armor is treated this time around. The basically crappy armor available at normandy helps a lot of course. Still, you don't get the feeling that armor is undefeatable. A well played all infantry force can beat a poorly played armored force. |

These are exactly the kind of reports I enjoy. Highly descriptive, and filled with strategic tid bits that others that play the game could use. I really enjoyed seeing a non-starcraft report! Also this report makes me want to go get CC5. :-D

Bah! I played the demo, didnt like it. Cute concept but I like my games squarly in one genre. If I want to recapture France from the Nazis, I want turns, if I want to tank push, give me BW, none of this "ohhh 1323 games in!" bs =/
But it WAS an intresting Battlereport, because, well, it read like a historical battle. I enjoyed it |
| #27 [77372] |
| 1Cust106.tnt28.tco2.da.uu.net |
| Now that I think about it, CCV is on a very hard scale to battle report. No one wants to hear how each individual soldier died, cuz that would be like saying how each marine took a hydra spine hit in SC. On the other hand, the battle looks a little one sided cuz I kept almost all of my squads intact, letting the damaged ones stay behind to guard places. Just a random thought. Glad ya liked it Johnny and Punck =] |

| But you mentioned how decimated your squads were. I got the impression that, even though you captured all the objectives, you did so with a decimated force. |

oh well, i was sure ud like it mark. I hope i didnt waste your time. I am not sure what you mean by mass fps, i think CM has all the elements of a strategy game.
But it might be not as much fun, especially since it is pretty slow. Maybe CCV is more fun to play, i might try it out.
but the realistic look of CM just makes me want to play it more. Anyways ill have to wait for finals to be over so for now ill go back to studying.

| I liked this report and the WWII theme. And unlike some people, I DO like to hear the tiny details like casualties. To me, hearing each battle described in loving detail is much more entertaining than spending the vast majority of time on build orders and how gay T_Mac is. |

Wasn't the Mark 4 the first widely used tank in WW1?
Anyways, I would like the series, but honestly I can't play sc on any speed but fastest, and you really hit the nail on the head when you said this game moves at about the slower speed. It literally takes 30 secs for your guys to move an inch and a half on the screen, very frustrating. Especially when you don't know why the little fuckers won't shoot or why the enemies won't die or why you didnt win yet =/ |

Where is SuddenStrike coming out in Feb 01 ???
I have it since october and ROCKS!!! Best single player RTS I have ever played and one of the best multiplayer ones too.
Snipers rock and tanks do shit against some AT-Guns.
Oh yeah I forgot. SS is one of the few games that come out in Germany/Austria earlier than in USA. HEHE, poor guys.

P.S. I think Mark4 is a cousin of Mark48, and therefore a torpedo. |

Sadly, this BR illustrates the Achilles' Heel of CCV online play-- the unabashed misuse of the Force Pool by American gamers. While the German player is hampered by having virtually no alternative units to use ( historically accurate ) in most of the given map scenarios, the American is not. Invariably, the American Player creates 'SuperTeam' Regiments-- insane armor/infantry ratios and highly experienced medium and heavy assault infantry replacing green carbine squads. I can't remember the last time I saw an opponent using a .30 cal infantry unit during online play. The result is massive imbalance and unrealistic play for most of the available map settings. Doing this is not technically wrong, per se, but why play a 'realistic' simulation of squad level combat by playing...unrealistically.
This Battle Report is a perfect example. The comment given at the beginning of the report-- "The Americans have slightly greater strength in this scenario" couldn't have been more inaccurate. Using the DEFAULT units, this statement is true. Replacing 4 infantry for 4 armor with no similar recourse for the German makes the scenario a total joke. The largest number of armored units in any of the default units settings supplied by SSI for any of the scenarios is 3. The American here has 6. Six. The German has a total of, like, 2-3 alternative units, tops, for Hill 140, none of them armored. The German has one armored AT unit-- a Marder. The outcome was inevitable.
BTW, the SuperTeam could have been made better by replacing 2 of the BAR units for Recon teams. With the huge armor force doing all the infantry squashing, the BAR's talents go largely to waste. Recon teams are light, fast and with great enemy awareness-- perfect as tank protectors. Your casualties would have been lighter had you made the switch. |

CM is too slow, and too... turn based :) Realism is great, but only if it doesn't sacrifice playability (ie: making things too realistic could lead to battles that last for days)
