  1. Apologies if this has already been posted but I'd like to mention that over the last several weeks I felt bombarded by news about how Ukraine was planning a counteroffensive in the south. Yes, get ready Russia, Ukraine is coming and they're going after Kherson, hoping to slug it out and recapture some ground near the Black Sea. They're focused and you'd better believe they're putting everything they have into it. This news was repeated for a week or more, like a drumbeat. Then BAM. Blitzkrieg up north. To Ukraine: well played, sir. They didn't just fool the Russians. They fooled the (largely) credulous media, which then helped fool the Russians even further.
  2. 'Cannot see the file' bug.

    I am playing a huge CMBN PBEM game with a fellow gamer on this site. Twice the following has happened. He sends me his turn via Dropbox and I copy it into the Game Files/Incoming Email folder. No problem so far. I boot up CMBN and open the Saved Games menu item. Surprise! The anticipated game turn is NOT there. It is not showing. The preceding turns are still showing. I go back and recheck the folder. It is there. Reloading and replaying plus reloading does not fix the bug.

    Is anyone else experiencing this bug? What's going on?

  3. In the USA we have a sports analogy for this (from American football): "Moving the goalposts" If the first declared objective fails, just change it to something easier!
  4. Do we know for sure that the missile was an NLAW? Assuming it was, then what Steve said about the NLAW shaped charge being angled downward is correct. It's a rather unique construction. Here's how NLAW works: it's designed to "overfly" the target, sense its presence (I think magnetically) and then detonate the shaped charge downward into the tank's thinly-armored roof, from about 1 meter above. It stands to reason that aiming steeply down at a target below could cause problems with this sort of attack geometry, although interestingly the Saab website says, "You can fire down 45 degrees". I wonder if the problem has more to do with range. The NLAW's minimum range is reportedly 20 meters. That's excellent for a (semi) guided missile, but in the video, the target tank is awfully close. I wonder if it's even closer than 20 meters. Maybe just 15m? Couple that with the steep downward angle, and it might explain why the detonation didn't seem to work properly. (It seemed to explode a bit too early). Charles
  5. Hi! Through a misunderstanding, I included a bit too much in the below post. Please delete everything in the first paragraph after Lancaster, Texas (pease add a period to end that paragraph) and the entire second paragraph. Would fix this myself, but the timer has run out.
     

    Thanks!

  6. Thanks for the feedback everyone. We are investigating now and will get this fixed as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience!
  7. I want to buy your game but I can not display your home page Battlefront.com. The only connection that I can get it from your forum.
    What can I do? Logging in the Central Europe. My ISP says that everything is fine and the fault is on your side.

  8. For a disembodied brain floating in a jar full of Red Bull, you're a wonderful human being! ;)

  9. (MacOS) Please install to the Applications folder. That's how it's meant to work. Trying other locations may cause some files to be placed incorrectly.
  10. On the Mac, please go to the "Documents" folder where your CM Battle for Normandy app is located. In "Documents" you'll see an icon for "Activate New Products". Run that. It will let you enter your BPack activation key.
  11. The new QB maps are there, but just have older file dates. Look for any QB map with a "BP1" at the beginning of its name.
  12. Everyone, Sorry about the file name problem. It seems many of you have got it working already but just in case not, please rename your downloaded file to: Windows CMBN Windows 3.12 Update Installer.zip Mac CMBN MacOS 3.12 Update Installer.pkg This has been corrected on our server for future downloads. Apologies for the confusion and I hope you enjoy the Battle Pack! Charles
  13. Thanks, and I'm glad everything is running smoothly now. Right. It lets you peek at the setup screen, but won't generate a quick battle.
  14. We fiddled with a few dials and levers under the hood for v1.20. Er, I meant to say, under the "bonnet" for the British Forces.
