  1. Upping CAFE (gas mileage) was not too shabby either.
  2. I think the point is how were they used in combat. I have read no reports that in combat ATGs were rolled back and forth. The accounts I have read have had them in cover and firing at the enemy, no tactical rolling back and forth. Doug
  3. I had the same problem. One solution after the exe disappears, very frustrating after the download, is to wait a couple of minutes. A window will pop up from Norton, you can then indicate the exe is ok and bring the exe back. After that everything will be ok. Doug
  4. Maybe its the wires and the stakes that hold up all the plants (grapevines)?
  5. In CMx1 there was a definite advantage to being parked by at least one building or in the woods. I do not have direct experience with this for CMx2.
  6. I don't know if this will help... I had trouble placing waypoints along the bank of a river. The problem was solved by rotating the view point until I could look almost straight down on the bank.
  7. I think I set up my ambush behind at least some low bocage...
  8. I have noticed, at least at the squad level, there is peeking during hiding. I set up an ambush with a hiding squad and set the covered arc. When the enemy troops crossed the covered arc the squad unhid and executed the ambush. I was watching beforehand, at various times a soldier peeks up to see what is going on.
  9. This has happened to me also. However I was able to redeploy my forces to the center of the map around the objective during the setup phase. Did you try to redeploy around the objective?
  10. Variable time endings might be built in already. I played an armour vs armour qb last week. Neither side owned the objective at the end of play. Another 3 minutes of playing time was added.
  11. I have the 7zip utility. It is free and it does decompress rar files.
  12. Based on my experience with hiding troops given a covered arc, they will attack enemy troops entering their covered arc. If you watch closely, even for hidden troops, someone will be getting up and spotting occasionally.
  13. IMHO I think people in the gaming media today got into gaming through FPS's or fantasy games. So they do not understand the CM type of game. The last game review of CM I read, at least 5 years ago, I thought the reviewer was completely confused. I thought he probably had not spent enough time getting into the game. And wrote a poor review that reflected his poor understanding of the game.
  14. I had control of a broken squad at the end of a game. I don't know the experience level of the squad. I was able to order the squad to ford a river in the face of light fire and then attack the firing infantry.
  15. Smaller ATG's can be pushed around in the game. It takes a looong time tho.
