Do you know why the picture is blurry ?
A Canadian Cat - was IanL replied to AdamPraha's topic in Combat Mission Cold War
OK I'm sure it will be @Grey_Fox's suggestion that will fix it then. -

Firing a small "panzerfaust on tank
A Canadian Cat - was IanL replied to AdamPraha's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Don't hide your team when you want them to act. Hiding greatly reduces the team's spotting ability. Unless the armour is unbuttoned. Then they team members will fire small arms at the TC I am fairly sure that armoured cars count in the armour arc. Maybe. The risk is they will fail to spot the tank. Target arcs are meant to prevent your men from firing. So, use them carefully and sparing. -
Brad is that you? Funny story, in a team I was on we changed our source control rules and made it mandatory to enter a description when checking code into the source control repository. We did this because some people were checking in code without any mention of why. Our troublesome team mate just entered '.' as his description. Sigh

Second possibility is you have font scaling set on windows. You can fix that by selecting the comparability tab for the properties of the .exe. Let the game control the scaling and it should fix it. Those instructions are from memory. -

How Hot is Ukraine Gonna Get?
A Canadian Cat - was IanL replied to Probus's topic in Combat Mission Black Sea
Yeah, it must be because that post is going to have me thinking all day too. Dude you have to write a book at some point. -

I just don't by that. Like what? Weekly statements "we have 8 scenarios started for the new module and 5 new models" and later "we still have 8 scenarios started and no no models". Or monthly the same. And again and again. I think it would start a whole new area of complaint "why aren't they working on <insert favourite project> nothing is changing what are they doing. They are just wasting time. LOL LOL every damn day man. I have several photo and video editing tools I use and have zero visibility into what they are actually working on until they release something new. I hit the odd bug. Some are annoying some bloody inconvenient. I never have any clue if or when they are going to be fixed. Hell only some of the time can I tell they have been confirmed. I follow this advice - sound familiar? Exactly and I do and I use them to edit my photos and videos and get work done as best I can. Hell yes I would rather have working product when it's ready.

As a Canadian I would vote Canadian. Wow that would be cool though. It's a lot of work. I suppose you can cut that work down by setting up the forces for one formation and play testing and tweaking. Then creating a roughly equivalent force from the other formation. That would at least cut down the play testing required to less than double. A very good idea. Plus map damage does not get preserved between fights so fighting on different parts of the map helps any continuity issues that can create.

100% or the endless bitch session that would result here if the decision was made to delay and issue a new date was made. There are really only three choices with regard to this: Pick a date and ship whatever you've got - obvious downside is bugs and issues with content Pick a date and delay to a new date if things are not as you want them - obvious downside here is complaints and erosion of "trust" Don't pick a date (or I should say don't say one publicly because all projects have dates) and just repeat the mantra "it will be done when it is ready" - is there a downside here - I don't know one. Marketing people will say they cannot build the sales collateral - BS just have it ready and book the interviews and reviews in the final weeks or after release but what do I know? I only have 30 years of software development experience and no marketing experience - other than watching them do it and not make sweet **** all of a difference if the campaign starts before release or after. Customers say they cannot plan or rely on you - BS: buy the products that are available that fits your needs. If non are available you have to wait. Wouldn't you rather have a working product in some future time than crap now? If you say you want working product now that's just stupid because that doesn't exist does it? Hence this question. You can end up in a combo of 1 and 2 that either turns into a death spiral: the product is not ready so we will delay it but that means you need to add feature X because the competition has changed which leads to more delays and feature Y needs to be added etc.; or you delay one or two times but piss off everyone and eventually you are forced to end up releasing early even though you tired to do the right thing and fix your problems. I have worked in through all of these scenarios. The choices that BFC make are absolutely the best framework for managing projects I have lived with. I have worked for other places that get it right too BFC are not unique but doing this right is not the norm - sadly.

Will we ever get a CMAK 2.0
A Canadian Cat - was IanL replied to GhostRider3/3's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
I would really like it too. We seem so close with Fortress Italy. Would require the time pushed back a little more and some new equipment I suppose but not a lot. There would be some buildings that would need to be changed / added plus all the usual TO&E work plus some scenarios. I would love to have such a game. In CM1 AK was my favourite. -

Ukraine Campaign Briefing Map?
A Canadian Cat - was IanL replied to Aleksandr2033's topic in Combat Mission Black Sea
There are photo editing programs that are a lot cheaper than Photoshop. One that I use is Affinity Photo (https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/photo/) and there is also a plug in for Paint.NET (https://www.psdplugin.com/) -
