  1. I am installing British Forces on my laptop, but my license code is back home. How do I recover the code?
  2. it occured to me that when I want to play a game based on realism, I find myself reloading the game when my battle plan falls apart. Usually when it drasticlly falls apart (APCs killed with everyone inside, surprise ATGMs, I think something is safe when it is not) etc. I was wondering, is it considered bad sportsmanship to reload when things have fallen apart or just keep pushing through and taking what ever result you get?
  3. It does make sense. The game has come a long way since the first release when poorly trained conscripts could hit a quick moving Stryker at 1000m and kill everyone. When I play, I try to use my infantry as little as possible and my vechicles as much as possible. While I have a better understanding of WWII equipment, I have had a hard time adjusting to just how lethal even a RPG can be with a lucky shot. I have noticed that with the introduction of casualty limits, I very rarely ever take fewer casualties than allowed.
  4. Utimately what is the preferred method for using vechicles in modern war? Big tanks like the Abrams, Challenger, etc can still certainly lead the charge with infantry supporting the tanks. But the Stryker/AAV/Warrior, etc seems to turn that back around. While the Strkyer and Warrior are more survivable than the AAV, should ANY of these vechicles be used for direct attack, or as support fire for the troops?
  5. Thats the same problem I had! When I tried to quick move my sniper teams, it took too long for them to recover to meet the requirements in the time frame.
  6. This is kind of in conjuction with my sniper question. Since I have been playing the British, I have been enjoying using them. The Warrior is as good as the Stryker/Bradley and just as suvivable when hit. I have not played the Marines through becuase I have trouble with their AAVs. While I appreciate their greater firepower, they are just SO thin skinned. Since they carry more people than Strykers/Bradleys/Warriors the loss of up to 25 men is much more pronounced than just 9 guys in the other vechicles. Is is best to keep the Marines dismounted and use the AAVs for fire support? I am not trying to put them into direct danger, but the AI usually fires a RPG before they are spotted and get away with a devistating kill. Whats the best way to use the AAV?
  7. What about the Marine mission? From what I rememeber you had to take two spots and try to eliminate the enemy HQ units. By the time the mission was over, I hadn't killed all the HQ units and my guys were almost out of ammo from shooting all the other squads up.
  8. I have playing through the British campaign for the first time and came across the mission where you have to reece an airfield. Needless to say I was a little shocked to see a squad of guys, one leader, and two sniper teams as my reece force. Given the huge map and short time, I was only able to use my two sniper teams to clear 4 of 8 CPs before time ran out. This remined me of the USMC mission where you have to eliminate the HQ untis prior to the US invasion. I have a couple of questions: 1. How do you use the sniper teams to actually target a particular group? From my experience, they use a lot of ammo just trying to kill one group let alone several. 2. Why are the mission requirements so high? When I did the British mission, I was surprised to see that I was required to eliminate the garrision units when I was supposed to be stealthy. 3. Is there any way to keep my teams from firing? I play the we-go with this game. I find that I will tell my teams to move, then they will open fire on the enemy before time runs out. Most of the time they don't really hit anything, waste ammo, and give away their position. So how do I use sniper teams to kill select groups, not waste ammo, and meet very high mission requirements?
  9. It was the AVG firewall. I turned it off and had no problem. Thanks!
  10. Thanks Moon, sorry for being vague. What happens is that I copy and paste the license into the box then click install. The thing says that it is downloading the license and I get a notice from my AVG asking if I want to allow this to happen. I hit ok, then I get a message saying that the program has to close becuase of a problem with the combat mission .exe file. Does this help?
  11. I just downloaded the British Forces module, but I can't get the license to install. Every time I do, the thing just crashes. I tried the offline option but it gave me a 404 error message that the web site was not available.
  12. I am sure this has been brought up, but is there any plans for an IDF module? Something different from the current US Army/Marines and NATO campaign? Maybe a campaign of Israel invading parts of Syria to root out some terrorists? Just a thought.
  13. Yeah, on the Army side I almost always kept the HQ in the Stryker, but I was not sure how realistic this is. Mainly in the leading from the front vs leading from the rear mentality. Since I am not (and never was) in the Army, I am not sure if a LT would stay in the armored vechicle while his guys are facing danger.
  14. Hey guys I have a question that is off toipc but still valid, do you guys break up your squads? I am generally reluctant to break up the teams in order to put the maximum amount of fire on anything that I want. Also, do you take your CO/XO/HQ's into the fight? Generally AFV HQs get pressed into the fight, but for the infintry, I tend to keep them back but not oo far away. I am afraid of disrupting Command and Control.

  15. hmmm. I kinda do and kinda don't use overwatch. While I will designate vechicles or people as overwatch generally I find myself assualting positions that are ? or appear to be empty. The problems that I have with overwatch lie with the LOS/LOF. I find especially with the Marines that the people that are supposed to be overwatch don't see the enemy even though I think they can. This results in my guys going in unsupported. At least keeping light fire on the target building and surrounding buildings at least fire is being laid down and it keeps the Syrians suppressed. I find that if I do overwatch only, the Syrians will fire on my guys before anyone notices them. It seems that more often then not they shoot first on me more so than me on them.
