Well the first reports from overseas are in
and the perceived threat of total failure is a complete washout. So far
the world is still spinning happily around the sun and life continues...Will
keep you posted... ;-)
Now on to the update, well
unfortunately outside events have caused tonight's update to be a little
sparse. But we do have some new pictures for you to look at. The
existing Fog and Night pictures in the Screenshot
Gallery were always a little dark so we have whipped up 3
brand spanking news ones. These feature a foggy autumn night with some
German armor for show...
Oh, by the way:
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
2000 here we come!!!

It's the night before "THE
NIGHT". Got all of your bottled water and supplies put
away? Good, take a break and join us as we got a few new things on
this eve of the millennium.
What better way to get ready for the new year
than watch Fionn lose a bunch of armored vehicles? That's right,
turn 3 in the ongoing Last Defense
AAR is now up for your perusal. Movie files are included as usual.
Head over to the After Action Report section
or use this handy dandy LINK.
Max Molinaro has been making us laugh for
months with his hilarious pictures and today he sent me a new one which proves
the age old axiom...Head over to his special spot in the Screenshot
Gallery right HERE.
Don't forget to check our regular Quick
Tactics feature in the New Features
area and also check the Archive section for
all of the older expired ones.

HOT STUFF!!! This
just in! Steve Grammont (the pimp daddy at BTS) has posted
two very interesting messages on the forum this evening. One is a general
update on Combat Mission's progress and the other talks about the
feasibility of another Demo Scenario.
They are both re-printed HERE
for your convenience.
21:30 EST
Good evening all. Tonight has been a
night for site maintenance and the section the got the biggest overhaul was the Screenshot
Gallery. Now for your convenience there is one single link that
takes you to an index page which lists all the different categories of
screenshots that we have available including: Winter Terrain,
British Airborne Troops, Night and Fog, Running
Animations, Urban Combat, and the Max Molinaro and
CoolcolJ galleries. Whew! Lots of good stuff in there and oh
did we mention the new section? No, well to celebrate this latest site
upgrade we have 3 new shots taken from an
ongoing Arnhem Operation fought by Wild
Bill. That's right we got some Red Devil action and it's all waiting for
you in the Screenshot Gallery right HERE.
Also tonight, another in Fionns ongoing
series of Artillery Quick Tactics has been
posted in the New Features section index
page.
Remember to check out the Archives
section for older Did You Know's and Quick

Well we certainly hope that you have had a
enjoyable Holiday weekend but now it's time to get back to work!
Coming right out of the gate are some new Movie
Files. That's right, we now have both Allied and Axis
movie files to go with Leland J. Tankersley's excellent After Action Report.
You can get to these movies through the After Action
Report section right HERE.
Next up we cater to the StuG lover in
all of us. Check out a trio of StuG Studs in the newly opened Heroes
Corner page 2! It's getting mighty lopsided in there too,
are there no more American heroes out there?!? Click on this LINK
or the Nav-button above to be taken right there.
Be sure to check out the daily Quick
Tactic in the New Features area!

Ahhh, the big day at last! We
hope that in whatever way you chose to celebrate the Holidays, they are
filled with joy and happiness!
Today, we have a few more gifts for you
to unwrap! We begin with our first ever Special Event!
We wanted to take a moment and thank Max Molinaro for his humorous and slightly
bent Combat Mission screen shots so we have set up a little Art Show for
Max and you can see some of his best work by following the Nav-button
link above or by clicking HERE.
The scrolling Did
You Know above mentions a very nice addition to Combat Mission
and one which without the comprehensive full 3D environment would be very
difficult to simulate. The effect is known by many as 'Splash
Damage' and put simply it is the effect of a nearby explosion or
detonation on lightly armored vehicles and troops i.e. soft targets. You
can see a picture of this in action by clicking this LINK
to a special screenshot.
Fionn 'Wittman' Kelly has been busy brushing
up on his small unit armored tactics and has decided to share this knowledge
with all of us. We have just posted Fionn's wonderful article, Movement
to Contact: A Tank Platoon Tactics Primer. This is an excellent
read and will benefit both the Grognard and newbie alike! Go to the
Articles section above or just go ahead and click on THIS.
Be sure to check out the daily Quick
Tactic in the New Features area!
Some site news for you to chew on. The
Heroes
Corner section is now sporting a new look and this is just a hint of
the new changes to come soon! Also you may notice that some of the Nav-buttons
above have red borders. That is a quick way to identify areas that have
been recently updated! One last thing, we have seen many people
talking about CMHQ in the various public forums and message boards. We
heartily thank you, however when referencing our url address please use
ONLY this one: http://combathq.thegamers.net
While the address that you see in your
browser window is slightly different (combathq.thegamers.net/whatsnew.html) it
is not in fact the TRUE start page and may no longer function
after the next site revision! Just use the link above and you will always
be getting the most current and freshest version of Combat Mission HQ.
Thanks!

ALL OF US HERE AT COMBAT MISSION HQ

battle that were originally posted on the BTS Forum. Some nice wrap up
commentary there and you can find it (along with all 41 complete turns) in the Archive

Is it time for another update already?

off, we continue in our award winning presentation: Heavy
Metal. Page two has been posted with
another 7 screenshots for you to drool
over. Catch them all from the button above or with
this LINK.
When it was first released 4
months ago, it captured our imaginations and wonder. We watched as
two opponents matched wits and ability on the field of battle. To this
day, it is still the single greatest After
Action Report ever written about Combat
Mission. Now for the first time ever, all 41
turns of the Classic Alpha Battle
AAR are available in one location!
Get over to the Archives
section and and see for yourselves why this was and is
a classic! Click on the Nav-button above to go straight there or you may also

In a recent thread over at
BTS's Combat Mission Forum, my esteemed college posed a little
science question and promised the lucky trivia wiz a Picture of their
choosing. Well guess what Doug Beman? YOU GOT IT!!!! Let me
enlighten the masses on what Doug asked for, he said:
"Actually, if you're
going to make a CM picture and post it, why not create a shot of 3 or 4 German
tanks (Panthers, or JpzIV/70s) sitting hull-down atop a low ridge, overlooking a
river valley/crossroads littered with Allied vehicles. I think such a
"classic German tank image" would go over very well."
Ok, sounds good to us!
True to our word, take
a look at
this..

Click to enlarge!
More, oh my, much much more to
come.....SOON!
-Madmatt
18:50 EST
HOT NEWS!!! Although
it was originally posted yesterday, It got kind of buried in amongst the
normal clutter of the forum. Therefore we have Steve Grammont's (of Big
Time Software) post, in its entirety, regarding the current
status of Combat Mission and the plan for the weeks to come. Click HERE

Well, if its Thursday
night then it must be time for a new site look! This time around we have
tried to tone down the bright colors while also increasing the overall contrast
of the site. Please drop us a line (you can use the email links
above) and let us know what you think!
We have also added a
second page to every ones favorite web activity, Flame
War! This time around we take a
peek at a true KING of the battlefield. Head on over to the New
Features area to see MORE.
Until we can find a more permanent home from
them the After Action Area is now hosting Stand
Alone Movie Files. These are movies from a single turn of play
and will highlight something interesting or outright spectacular. You load
this text file into the Demo just like a normal PBEM file. Tonight we have
a new movie of Last Defense from Zach Major and it shows off a very
impressive long range shot. I have also added Doug Bemans earlier
offering to this section. Check them both out by clicking HERE.
You will also notice a new Nav-button up
above called Submissions. Please go
there to find helpful and required guidelines to follow before you submit any
material to Combat Mission HQ.

We just wanted to take
a minute and say thanks to all who have recently written in with comments and
suggestions about the site! We read every message and as many of you can
attest to, we strive to answer them promptly and act on them whenever
possible. Ok, now that you are all nice sweetened up how about some
more FLAME WAR!?! Burn
through the link HERE
or above in the New Features area to see more of this hot
topic...
Some great information
was released today by Steve Grammant (from BTS) in regard to Combat Mission vehicle
models on the Big Time Software Discussion Forum.
You can find a link to the forum in (where else!?) our Links area.
Use the Nav-button above or click on this LINK
to be taken right there.
It appears that there
are no shortages of heroes in Combat Mission. Tonight we
bring to you one hungry tank crew courtesy of Mr. Wild Bill
himself. Pay your respects in the Heroes

22:00 EST
In honor of all the recent activity over on
the Combat Mission forum we have decided to post our own FLAME
WAR! Check out this LINK
to the New Features
area to see what we mean! And ummm, it's not what you think,
then again....It may be! ;-)
Another first on Combat
Mission HQ is a Chance Encounter movie file sent in by Doug Beman.
Keep a watchful eye just South of the church near the end of the turn.
It's not particularly brave or heroic but it does prove that Combat Mission
will cater to just about any play style you can think up and reward you
appropriately. Save THIS
as a text file and then load it into the Demo as a PBEM game and use the
password: greynym

Sorry for the late update! Trust
us, it isn't that we have nothing new to show you, far from it in
fact. If anything, the hardest part is choosing WHAT to show
you! So, as a way of saying thanks to all of our loyal
viewers, we bring you something that wasn't originally going to be posted
until later in the week. Without further delay please make haste to the New

your name! Tonight, as promised, we have a ton of new things to talk
about, so lets get to it! Leading off, we have another 5 turns
available for the Alpha Battle After Action Report

Fog of War in play as both Fionn and Martin dramatically see and judge things
differently. You can watch how it all plays out in the Archives section above or by clicking on
THIS.
If you were paying attention then you should
have noticed a new button layout above. That's right, the old Screenshot
Gallery has been divided into two new sections. Gallery
1 has all the original pictures posted while the new Gallery
2 has three all new Winter
pictures fresh off the presses! You can get to them from the link above or
just click HERE.
Look for this section to grow considerably in the days to come! You have

accepting submissions shortly (Don't send them yet!) and I will post the
guidelines just as soon as we iron them out! Basically it will be a
showplace for units that have gone above and beyond the call of duty as
evidenced by a screenshot of their Unit Kill Screen with some nice action going
on in the background. More on this later!
Recently in the forums there has been some
talk on to how Combat Mission will handle urban engagements and what these
fights might look like. Well speculate no more because we now have 3 new
KILLER shots taken of just such a fight! Pay special attention to
the backgrounds! Hint hint! You will find these in a new "City Fight"

latest installment of Fionn and Lee's Last Defense demo battle. And as
always, you find the good stuff by clicking on the Battle Reports Button
above or click right on ME!
16:00 EST
Welcome back! We missed you. So
far today we have tweaked some of the pages to go a little easier on those of
you that run in a screen resolution of 800x600. Most notably the Gallery
looks much better. We had to remove the text descriptions, however
if you leave the cursor on the picture (at least on page 1) a text box will pop
up and give you the description. There are no descriptions to the pics on
pages 2 and 3 because they weren't our pictures and they pretty much speak for
themselves. Check back later today for your daily installment of AAR fun!
01:20 EST
Nah Mom, we don't wanna sleep!!!
Who needs sleep when there is a NEW SECTION
to go up?!? This time around we now introduce to you a LINKS
Section. Not many in there yet but it will grow in time...

Just to keep you all honest we have

GUY to

20:40 EST
Hello! Glad to see that on this
wonderful December evening you have chosen to visit us here instead of going
outside! Wise choice because our current Last Defense AAR is now up to
turn 9 and you can go right to the AAR
area or download the Movie
from here!
Visited our New
Features Section lately? No, well be sure to drop in and
have a look around. For those of you with StuGs this may be particularly
enlightening! You'll see... ;)
12:30 EST
Just made some more cosmetic changes is
all! Links on this page are Italic now and the date Date Stamps are
now errr....Well, look up 1 inch and you can see for yourself! :) Like
always, MORE TO COME!!!

Now then, with all the excitement that
we are sure the earlier news caused you probably thought we would forget all
about Turn 8, right? Wrong! We got your AAR fix right HERE
and of course the accompanying Movie
is up as well! One last treat for all. BTS recently posted a shot of
the Chance Encounter Map with fog effects. Be aware that this picture
(like any screenshot) may divulge unit info if you are engaged in a 'Blind' game
so exercise caution, but it is quite nice. You can see it all by clicking ME.
Enjoy it my friends! :)
20:00 EST
Good evening all! Just been doing some
general 'upkeep' on the Site. It seems people like the new Back In Black
Background, so we have gone through and upgraded all the pages to this new
look plus we have tried to tweak the other colors to be much more legible and
clear. Suggestions and Comments are always welcome and appreciated.
Ok, now on to the good stuff.
First off, we are debuting yet another
new Area! NEW FEATURES will highlight and discuss new improvements
and additions to Combat Mission that have been incorporated since the original
Beta Demo release. Last night we made mention to the new GROUP MOVE
functionality that has been incorporated into Combat Mission. So without further
ado, we bring you Four new screenshots of this feature in Action! You can get to these
either by clicking on the New Features

and accompanying Movie
File from our continuing Last Defense After Action
Report. Be sure to raise your eyelevel a little above and check out this
evenings 'DID YOU KNOW' status line! Great stuff and we will be keeping
you up-to-date with tons more info in the days to come!
Take a look
into the Archive
Section for a nice little Bonus surprise in the form of Fionn
Kelly's wonderful Combat Mission Preview. This is a great overview of
Combat Mission and I had totally forgotten just how many excellent
screenshots this article had, including these two eye feasts:

Just another Rainy
Night!
CAEN!!! CAEN!!! CAEN!!!! Errr
ummm Star Trek reference!
Of special
note in this Preview (aside from that fact Fionn blatantly quotes me without
credit! ;) ) is a partial German Unit list which I have reproduced for your
pleasure over HERE.
Enjoy my friends, enjoy!

This update
was mostly just for maintenance. Fixed a bad link in the Turn 6 AAR (Thanks for
the catch Dave!) and have been just tweaking the "look and feel" of
the site. I would also like to know if you like the new all Black
Background, please email me HERE
with your comments on it. There will be a more substantial update
later tonight.

already so tasty but I think we are up to the challenge! For this December
Eve, I offer you Turn 6 of the epic Last Defense battle between Fionn and
Lee. Click this handy dandy LINK
