I have been thinking about my games with para and I reckon he altered the GLOBAL MORAL some how. My troops would pinn / break etc really easily while his troops would take some battering. I use reverse slope defense alot and in one night time battle all my green / conscript troops routed at the sound of his tank engines no fire at all was directed at them until until they ran and broke cover. He also once used a bailed tank crew to charge my AT gun and KO it.
It would be a very subtle effect as well overall allowing him to cheat for some time undetected.
In light of all the above I am now quiet pleased with my draw that I posted against him it happened to be one of my most challenging enjoyable battles at the blitz club to date.

Cheating in CM is done by altering memory slot values.
You can buy hardware for an unlimited numbr of points in a, ;et's say, 1500pts battle. You can also change ammo loadauts, weapon loadouts for squads, teleport units and (which is much harder, I couldn't do it) resurect units from the dead. About 1,5 year ago, we caught a cheater at CMHQ PL, who did all those things. As it came out, it isnt that hard to cheat in CM, all it takes is a small memory manager program, and not too much brain (I could replay what he did).
