    mjkerner got a reaction from Warts 'n' all in Limited firing of smoke?   
    One has to wonder at the armor knowledge of a 400-year-dead fellow, let alone his ability to communicate with us about it, eh LutzP? This and many other wonders await you here!

    Welcome!
    Not really easy to do, LutzP.  You can Target Smoke, put a Pause Command for say 15 seconds or whatever, then put a short Movement order, like 1 Action Square or whatever, then on that Waypoint, use another Target Command. Play around with the Pause timing and number of Movement Orders to figure what works best for that vehicle to get X number of smoke shells. With on map mortars you can Target Light and they usually pump out 3 shells per minute.  (Unit soft factors will affect all this to some degree.)

    Hahaha. The didn't call me "Ironsides" cuz I sat in a wheelchair in a TV studio all day. I knew a thing or two about armour in my time, young fellow me lad. And now me and my mate Raymond Burr are off for a pint.

    OK, I need to say this because clearly noone important in your life has. 
    Customer feedback is good, but so long as it is constructive feedback. Everything you have said, and the way you have said it, has been destructive. Being polite isn't about making friends with me or other members. It is about not being a jerk and raising the chance that your complaints get listened to. Ever heard of the critique sandwich? You say something good, something bad, something good. Far more likely to get taken seriously. When everything you say is negative, it is very easy to just tune it out. 
    Notice how your posts were promptly ignored by the staff/devs/beta testers? And they were still replying to people with honest, polite questions? 
    I am of the opinion you owe them an apology not only for derailing a thread, but spreading falsehoods about a DRM conspiracy. This simply isn't the case, as Kevin's solution shows.

    geeez, they are a company of 6 F-ing people and just released two new games in the last week.  Which you didn't even purchase judging from your previous posts.  So why p-ss on them?

    Thanks Artkin!  I always scratched my head when I tried the Hex Editor in the past. How did you figure out what numbers represent particular games? Trial and error?

    umlaut, you have company. I noticed that two nights ago, tried it many times, but when I loaded the “new” save it was the first one. Repeated it numerous times, no dice, so now I just add an “a, “b” etc.  BFC, do some find, please!

    It didnt solve anything: The save problem still exists!

    No, you’re not stupid! Windows 10 is the most intrusive “I’m going to do this because I know better than you do” software systems I have ever seen. I’m really glad I was able to help. It feels good!

    Yup, Pause only affects movement orders, not firing orders. Target Light (for mortars) or Target Briefly sort of limits ammo, but not in a way to help, generally. You can Target Briefly and do a short move right away for X distance, and the smoke will be limited, but still round will always come out of the pew pew end of the barrel right away. (At least as I recall.)

    https://www.thefewgoodmen.com/tsd3/cm-final-blitzkrieg/rollbahn-d-part-i/
    Part 1 of the Campaign available for download. 
    Covers the first 48 hours of KG Peiper and nearby units. Should be ready to download thanks to BornGinger's Wordpress advice 😀.
    It should be a relatively straightforward campaign compared to parts 2 and 3. I'm waiting for my copy of a recently discovered and on order book covering Knittel.  
    https://www.boekenbestellen.nl/boek/gustav-knittel/9789492475541 
    by Timo Worst, before making some final changes to Part 2 (12x scenarios, all built). 
    Part 3, 17x scenarios are also all built but again waiting on Part 2 before posting.
    Thanks to Rastamon for advice and Kohlenklau for mods included in Baugnez/Malmedy scenario.

    Canuck, I doubt that the British government bother to actually copyright their army's unit patches. But if they did, they would be in public domain by now I'd imagine. Besides, you're not doing this for profit. And if unit patches are copyrighted, a lot of us are in trouble, including BFC most likely (That patch is used in some of the MG scenario briefings)!

    Not if it's a home machine and you trust the people who live with you.  Of course if your work involves dealing with nuclear launch codes and your lodger's name is Philby, Burgess or Mclean, then it might be an issue.
