Hello to all

Hello to everyone!

I discovered the Few Good Men while looking for further scenarios for CMFI and got buried in the recent CMFB AAR - some top end stuff from Baneman and Bil Herdenberger that was really well presented. Also looks like another great instalment to the CM catalogue.

I used to play tabletop wargames a few years ago and have been playing CM (mainly Fortress Italy and Normandy) for around six months or so. My preference to date against AI are battles upto Coy(+), although I have already realised the scale that others enjoy.

Hopefully I'll find a few characters to engage in some PBEM battles and no doubt learn from them too!

Welcome to FGM, GonvilleB. If you have only played the AI so far then you are in for a treat. PBEM is really where this game shines. The AI is a pale imitation of even a mediocre H2H player. Also, there is nothing quite like the satisfaction of grinding another human under the bootheel of your superior tactics......and nothing quite like the humiliation of having it done to you.

But, even if that happens, there is always the prospect of revenge.....sweet, sweet revenge!

Hi Goon,

Welcome to FGM

What Meat Grinder is trying to say is, Pbem, is fun and you will be awarded with the pleasure of having a nice pleasant contest between two players that enjoy tea, scones and the pleasantries of combat.

Hello GonvilleB, welcome to THE FEW GOOD MEN!
Good to have you with us!

Joining this community was the right decision because Combat Mission is at it's best when played head to head (H2H)
- as you already know.

For to get involved into the PBEM H2H gaming action, please go to the gaming section and choose the category with
the game that you'd like to play (CMBS or CMBN etc.). There you'll find the postings for gaming requests
(just scroll down a little). And there you may also start your own, of course.
