Soddball Posted June 16, 2005 Author Share Posted June 16, 2005 I think playing a variety of scenarios, different weather, different times of day, different years. And play against people, not the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiredboots Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Thanks for the tip Soddball.As for playing against people that will have to wait,I am so green(recruit really)that I would win everytime by boring my opponent to death.Great game though.

womble Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I was somewhat perturbed to read that asking questions that are answered in the manual will be considered bad form. I bought the anthology recently, and that has no hardcopy manuals and the CM:BB pdf appears somewhat incomplete... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 The link to CM:BB Mod Catalogue goes to a list of porn sites. Edit - The link to Patrick's CMBB Page says "access forbidden". Edit - The Scenario Depot link is dead. [ October 17, 2005, 11:21 AM: Message edited by: Elmo ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturmgrenadier Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Dear Moderator: Hello. I Hope you can help me. I eagerly bought this game (CMBB), but am utterly confounded at how to get started even after reading the first half of the manual (I figured the parts about designing scenarios could be skipped for now). I fear that I may never get to experience the greatness of this game that is so ballyhooed in reviews. I am veteran of the Close Combat Series of gaming (especially CC 3), but am just returning to wargaming after a four year hiatus. I thought that my learning curve for CMBB would be reasonably short, because of my experience playing many different WWII-era RTS and turn-based computer games (notwithstanding that CM is said to be a revolutionary new combat system), but I am completely lost. When I try to play even a simple scenario, I find it hard to even make contact with the enemy. Review sites have given universal acclaim to the thoroughness and ease of undderstanding of your robust instruction manual, so I feel like all the more of an idiot. My desperate question to you is whether there is any kind of tutorial or orientation-walk through mod/guidebook for the uninitiated? I did not find any such tool included with the game (Special Edition-North American) and I have serached online for something designed by an experienced player, but alas I haven't found anything. My second problem is with the display. I know that it is unreasonable for me to expect DOOM 3-Half Life-2 quality graphics on this type of historical game, but my resolution when running the game is awful. I can barely make out the fact that the blobs I am looking at are soldiers and to a lesser degree vehicles. The view doesn't look 3-D at all. They are so small and 'blobby', no detail whatsoever, almost unplayable/undiscernible. What am I doing wrong? I'm obviously missing something, because the picture on my monitor is not even remotely as detailed as some of the screenshots on the gamebox and on websites and the included mods. I mean the way I have it now, the game looks far cruder than even the first two installments of the old CLose Combat series. I try to adjust the settings but can't find any options for tweaking in the game interface. I have a new computer with a modern graphics card. Any assistance or advice you can give this wannnabe player would be greatly appreciated. I hope for your reply at your convenience. I just want to get started with the game.

farmerch Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 anti-alising should be switched on. sounds like you have it switched off. to switch it on don't try anything in the game menu. you need to open your grafic-card settings and do it there.
