  1. I bought the mail-order version of the game, which came with two paper manuals: "Combat Mission Game Engine Manual Version 3.0" and "Combat Mission Red Thunder." Is it possible to download PDF versions of these so I can avoid lugging the paper versions with me when I'm traveling? Thanks in advance.

  2. Two newbie questions about bunkers:

    1. Can infantry enter an enemy bunker? It's just another building, so it seems they should be able to do so, but I can't make my guys do it, even though I think it's empty.

    2. How can troops with demo charges knock out a bunker? The manual says they can throw charges if they are close enough, but how close is close enough? WHere is the "throw" command? Can they rush to the wall and set off a demo charge? How do they do that?

    Thanks!

    No, but I imagine that a gun crew learned in training what vehicles it had a good chance of knocking out and which ones it didn't. Evidently, unlike those crews, I have to learn through the school of hard knocks (if I can remember how all of those different guns perform against all of those different AFVs).

  4. As I remember CMx1 (a great game that will no longer run on my computer), if you were going to fire at a tank, you could see a readout of its armor (thicknesses and slope) on all four sides plus the top. You could also see the penetrating power of the weapon you were about to fire. I don't see this information in CMBN. Am I missing something?
