| Guadacanal would be my suggestion. Lots of close quarter infantry fighting and few tanks. |

The writing was on the wall for the Germans in the fall of 1941. The Army was over streched, poor logistics, not nearly enough fuel, ammunition, limited tanks, vehicles and never enough soldiers to replace the losses.
The Tiger and Panther good defensive tanks as they were, were over engineered, costly to produce and required a skilled work force to assemble, specially in the case of the Tiger, hence why only a limited number were built.
The T34 was designed to be mass produced by a semi / unskilled work force in large numbers. It couldn't have been that bad as one of the manufacturers who was competing for the Panther contract produced a prototype near identical to the Russian tank. |

I am glad I don't follow football, but I sometimes watch the World Cup!
England played like they usually do - poorly, they didn't deserve to go through! Its about time most of the squad were dropped once and for all including Rooney. How many times must they play the same players for the same dire results?
|
There is not enough English players in the Premiership that's all we got 
|
Then its about time they called it a day, because I am fed up to my back teeth with all the hype these players get for doing not a lot on the pitch!!!!! |

| Interesting remarks Cathartes. So by the sound of it we could of had a much larger game with more maps? Only Matrix decided to get it out asap to rake in the cash and on to their next project! |

About 99% postive they're hsitory. Trouble is despite spending a ton of cash on the computer, it's still not working right so i can't tell for sure
I'm currently going through the 'fun' of buying a house so don't have any spare cash to spend on computers for another 6-8 weeks I'll see after that

Bloody Hell, buying your own home!
Not before time mate, good luck with your purchase  |

Thankyou for the game
First impressions: Smaller maps (at least in the beginning of the Campaign) makes the AI better (playing as Germans), no surprise for me really 
The new effects, and maps looks great. One question doo..when a vehicle gets hit it has the same effect as mortar explosion..right?
seems like the "running like girls" is better (maybe because i am on defend as Germans)?
Mortar "hits 90%" seems better.
Vehicle pathing is great (why shouldnt it after all the complains and three? patches for Last Stand Arnhem.... 
The vehicles and sounds is perfect, thankyou for this! 
Why is it soo hard to name the SS units in Teams file as SS? every game i have to change the name??
I dream about all this great features in a game called Operation Typhoon with winter maps and the struggle for Moscow back in -41
Will keep om playing
Thanks again!
Mats

Mats, I echo what you are saying after playing several battles. I have noticed on one map that the AI plays better attacking from the right to left then it did attacking from the bottom towards the top.
The AI still leaves a lot to be desired, but it always will. I have already played more games on the latest release then I have with PITS all the time I have owned that game. Gateway to Caen is a much better game then PITS In fact this has got be back in to playing CC again!
I like the sound of your mod "Operation Typhoon", look forward to playing it
Take care mate |

I am always amazed with the negativity surrounding any CC release. My thoughts if you don't like what you see don't buy it!, no one is forcing you too!!
The only way you can truly judge the game is by playing it, and no game is perfect or ever will be for all. |
