JESUS CHRIST! What A freaking Nightmare!!!
Please remind me to NEVER screw with NT's file permissions again!!!! Damn, I thought I was going to have to rebuild the whole damn server for a bit there! This just goes to show that I still have a LOT to learn about NT and still don't feel comfortable making this server more live than it already is!

Sorry, We got a little behind here...
I know that some people like to come here for all the Combat Mission News (Colin!) but please remember that this server is currently only a TEST server and will not be updated as frequently as the main site at The Gamers Net.
Now having said that, recent strides have been made in the areas of Bandwidth testing and over all layout so who knows what the future may hold...
After yesterdays HUGE news I couldn't come up with any In-Game POTD that would come close to measuring up. So I posted this picture that I snapped from my recent visit to the Patton Cavalry and Armor Museum at Fort Knox Kentucky. Click the pic above to see this monster up close and personal!
Tonight, Dan Kowaleski starts getting into the series of US Medium tanks that actually saw some fierce combat AND ones you will get to see in Combat Mission. Check it out in our recently re-categorized Articles section or simply click THIS.

News Scripts getting better all the time!
Ok sure, this really has NOTHING to do with Combat Mission but I have finally gotten the Date and Headlines to automatically conform to my standards already in place on the TGN server. This means that except for the 'CMHQ at a Glance' Table, I can automatically do updates here and have them look BETTER than they do on TGN-CMHQ... Huge step forward for me!

Official Announcement from BTS! Release date given and Local Mirror for AVI Movie!
Here is the Official Word of God Message from Steve posted earlier today on the Forum:
Man, can't a guy put up a single HTML page without someone finding it within a couple of minutes? OK, here is the official announcement from us:
The time for Combat Mission’s release nears! After months of hard work putting on the finishing touches, a realistic release date of the end of May has been set. We have held off from releasing a new release date until it became clear that this one could be realistically met, and that time is now. Why are we so confident in our release date this time?
1. All coding on Combat Mission, except for a few bug fixes, stopped as of March 22nd.
2. The 2nd draft of the massive user manual has been completed.
3. All but a handful of textures have been finalized.
4. The process of finalizing the scenarios is under way.
When will we release the Gold Demo? Not until we have sent the Gold Master (the final full version) off to be duplicated some time in May. This will mean the Gold Demo will be out and available for roughly 2-3 weeks before we actually start shipping.
Until then, we have uploaded something for people to check out. It is the intro movie we cooked up for Combat Mission. This is probably the first intro movie that is 100% made up of actual game play scenes. Yup, no highend 3D rendered animations that no game will have for years to come, but actual footage captured straight out of Combat Mission, edited, and set to music. It is a bit on the hefty side (10MB or so), but it is worth the download for sure.
Thanks for the support!
