John, thank you for the very nice welcome, I appreciate it. Merry Christmas to everyone and thanks for your input. I went with the full CMBN series - I thought I would take advantage of getting a gift and ask for the more expensive pack! I am really enjoying the game, I will be looking to get FI+GL soon because the flavor of that era and theater do appeal to me.
I'm having some minor graphical issues, like weird shadows abruptly fading in and out, and a couple other things that caused some doubt that the 2.0 engine upgrade took effect, although the game menu says 2.12 - I need to go back and look at the demo for reference. I have been so wrapped up in playing that I haven't done anything about it, but I would like to get some experts to weigh in and hopefully find a solution. Is that type of post acceptable to put in the tech problems forum?
Once again thanks for welcoming me, I am excited to participate in what looks like a very strong community and to learn the ropes of this great platform.
- Matt
