Yer.  This in very good condition really, just have to be cautious with the description [8D] There's not a mark on it... as near as damn mint.

<r> As well as the USMC/CCM collection I am offering for auction on eBay, I also have something special for the discerning collector:<br/>
<br/>
Close Combat III in the original box, shrink wrapped and unopened, as damn near mint as maybe.<br/>
<br/>
There is some compression to the box front ...

<r> For anyone that may be interested in acquiring a collection of USMC/CCM TDS Workbooks, Software, and Gazette, I have them on eBay. The Gazette is the original Marine Corps Gazette Edition of September 2004 which includes a copy of CCM (3.1), still in the original card insert.<br/>
<br/>
<LINK ...

<t> It's a great idea. Pushes MMCCIII where it isn't really set up to go, but we are no strangers to work-arounds are we? [8D] Don't forget North Africa, except this time you can fight your way through Cairo, Jerusalem, Istanbul.....<br/>
<br/>
I'll pop comments up as they come to me.<br/>
<br ...

Not annoyed.... I have patience in spades...

So now we just drum our fingers on the table top and wait..... [>:]

Thanks Andrew.

<t> I anticipate a harder challange for the Player. The points are reduced, but the AI bonus is going to inexorably start stacking up on heavy weapons, and the player is going to find it harder to add/refit/upgrade with some unenviable choices to be made (between repairing teams and adding new one's ...

ETA for new Campaign? (Getting withdrawl symptoms....)

How would I go about trying to do this? i.e. what files/tools etc needed and/or recommend.

Cheers.

<r> I borrowed Wittman for this one... First Panther in the BG and on it's own to start with. Really racked up the kills until the other heavyweights joined in!...<br/>

<r> Quite pleased with this bunch. Essentially they were the recon team, so were always up front somewhere! Survived remarkably well. It was my heavy infantry teams that got most of the pasting...<br/>

<r> Took a bit of jiggery pokery to get this under 200Kb. Here is vonB's Legion of the Damned! Only started the campaign after the Allies had captured Thaon. Let me show you where the Knight's Crosses grow... [;)]<br/>

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I also have the Kursk campign by the BR clan but haven't played it at all but I expect way too Tank heavy - maybe that's a good thing for many ppl.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

WIth the opportunity to host several campaings concurrently, why not? Have a tank fest campaign ...

<t> beach1 is the only map that threw me in the last round.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
No problems running 1440x900, but as mentioned previously, sometimes the pre-deployment preview did not tally with the actual deployment demarkation, but no big deal for me.<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
As to the campaign (well ...

<t> Likewise with the Allied armour.&nbsp; If I take out 5 of them in a battle, they come back with 6 more!<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
Getting that first encirclement of Thaon was teeth grinding.&nbsp; Like you, I use surrounded enemy units as an opportunity to replenish and refresh my BG.&nbsp; By the time ...

<r> The battle for Thaon is on...<br/>
<br/>
Still waiting for those zillions of German counter attack points [;)]<br/>
<br/>
Interestingly, it seems to be playing in reverse, that is like it was at the beginning with the Allies. Few points to replace/upgrade/add heavy weapons to the BG, and the ...

<t> I changed to the Dark Side last night.&nbsp; As you say, the first Roster a bit bizarre:<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
2&nbsp;Befehlsgruppe<br/>
1 Zugfuhrer<br/>
1 Ersatzpioneere<br/>
3 Snipers<br/>
2 PaK 40<br/>
1 PaK 38<br/>
1 50mm mortar<br/>
&nbsp;<br/>
That cleaned out the Roster!.<br/>
&nbsp ...

German BG's seem to be beefing up a bit

<r> LOL! Well what do I come across in the next battle?... A Tiger II. Fortunately, it and a couple of it's buddies decided to come strolling down the brow of a hill, right into a hail of 76mm...<br/>
<br/>
Thaon now in sight...<br/>
