Welcome aboard, Aleksandr2033!
It's only a game.

Edu-ma-cateĀ me, MillennialĀ airhead, lol!

Just now, Battlefront.com said:
Glad you guys enjoyed the interview!Ā Charles (the interviewer) promised me really good questions and he did not disappoint.Ā
Yeah, goof on my part.Ā From a product management standpoint we have 8 CM "Families" (9 if you count the discontinued CMSF1 games), but one of those is indeed CM:A.Ā As far as I can tell nothing is going to happen with that one as we don't own the content and we're having difficulty getting authorization to do something with it.Ā I did manage to track down one of the guys that helped develop it (the company is defunct) and we exchanged some emails.Ā He said he'd contact the guys who own the rights and get back to me.Ā I haven't heard back from him even after a follow up nudge.
If we ever have the chance to strike a deal with the CM:A guys we will definitely look into porting the content over to CM2.Ā But it might prove too much effort for too little interest.Ā Porting over CMSF1 (same version of the engine as CM:A) was a massive undertaking.Ā Yes, partly because of the quantity of stuff in CMSF1's four releases, but mostly because we changed all the unit, model, and TO&E data formats between Engine 1 and Engine 2, with a little bit for Engine 3, and a small bit for Engine 4.
Still, I'm definitely open to the possibility of CM:A2!
Steve
It's nice to hear that you've been pursuing it, Steve. I hope they get back to you. Porting CMA to CM2 would be simply awesome!

See what I mean?

Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere sounded much better.
Two r's in murrican, Bufo.Ā

No, no, I'm totally a Cool Cat, Daddio! Would I know hep-cat words like that if I was a Narc? Come on, surf's up!

Phil, whatĀ drugs are you on, lol?Ā I'd like to try some soĀ I can finish my measly mods for Crete!Ā In the time it isĀ taking me to finish three different uniform types/setsĀ (not counting variants, helmets, and caps), you've made countless innovations in a whole new, unfamiliar medium.Ā
Ā Ā I'd have pulled all my hair out by now, if I was you!Ā
-
BFC already tried a FOLLOW commandĀ several years ago and it just didn't work. I doubt they'll try again. Howler's points are the tip of the iceberg, I imagine.
-
Unless they changed things recently, it should be in your email. Don't forget to checkĀ your spam folder if you can't find it.

Took a date to Soldier Blue when I was in high school. Waaaay too preachy, but great violence!
The Grey Fox was a good (but forgotten) movie, although as is usual, the history is all wrong.
Barbarossa is another forgotten classic. My ultimate fave, I think.
Appaloosa is another often overlooked one. The gunfightsĀ seemed moreĀ realistic than most.

Now me, I admit I oftenĀ shove out stuff that I clearly see as improvable but just want to make the sandwich and put it on a plate for people to eat.Ā
You give us all plenty to eat, and it is tasty!

KEEP IT ACCOMPLISHABLE!
CONFESSION: I admit that I break that rule and suffer the consequences. Never sniff your own glue!
Ā
The rule I (knew I was) am breaking in the Crete Mod.Ā And every other one I ever attempted, lol! But at least Crete is getting near the finish line. Your AfrikaĀ Mod is coming along nicely!

Erwin, thereās not a simple answer, beyond stating AFAIK āsmodā does precede all iterations after (I think)Ā engine version 2 or 3 for uniforms. Ā Best thing to do is to RezExplode all the brzās from each title and then find the latestĀ uniform folder(s) that contain the uniforms youāre looking to change. Canāt speak for graphics or sounds.

The Tunisian Modā¦ didnāt YOU make that one, Phil? Ā IIRC, it was based on theĀ Kasserine Pass. I have it, but not near my comp atm or I would check it myself.

Get off my lawn, you young whippersnapper!

No, it's a mod.

Is it legal to play CM before you turn 65?
If I had my way, it wouldnāt be.

You guys have heard of the editor, right? Best sandbox out there. Ā If you canāt change the gameās lengthĀ in less than 30 seconds, you probablyĀ shouldnāt own a computer, lol! Ā But beware, cuz Erwin is spot on regarding time limits.

Where can one even find a 4G vagina? Asking for a friend.

Ugly or no, āaā tank (on your side) is better than no tank. Well, unless it is just a bullet/shell magnet, then maybe not! I have to agree though,Ā the Panther is my favorite. As is the Jagdpanther my favorite TD.

Looking great Phil!

Yes, the reinforcement times begin countingĀ from the start of the scenario.

Sistine Chapel, no doubt!

That hack is used when you donāt want a unit to actually show up during the game but you need subordinate units which you canāt select in the editor without taking the higherĀ HQ. Like when you want two platoons from the same company but donāt need/want the CO. So with this hack itĀ will never show up until the scenario is over.Ā Ā Not sure why it would be applied to the arty if itās not going to be used anyway?!?!

Been away almost a year, came back to check in on Battle Pack 1 for RT, and BG is at it again. Sheesh.
Hey Aragorn, Wart's, Kohlenklau, and all the rest of you good dudes; hope you're all okay and that they're hanging low and full. Or maybe high and dry. Whichever you prefer!
Cheers!
See you next year.
