Having a hard time reading the small print on the screenshots. The question is can you place damage buildings/rubble on the map? JohnO

Hi Bill, Yes its me, John Osborne. Been busy here at CGSC. As for AATF, no. Spending time testing TacOps5. And soon playing CM:SF MikeyD, thats actually what I meant when asking about MODs (texture skin mods) for CM:SF. Thanks. JohnO

I've been gone for awhile and hope I don't get any flak from this question. I did a search in the CM:SF thread and didn't find anything about MODs. So the question is "Can you make MODs for uniforms, equipment, and vehicles" for CM:SF? JohnO

It worked dmg, thanks. I've got the game to run and the mission editor to work and I think this game is great. But there is still some things that can be better Thanks again to everyone and to Matt who stuck it out and didn't give up. JohnO

negative still didn't work. It still shows Wrong Game Version. JohnO

Matt, I just dl it and ran it and still got the same problem wrong version. JohnO

Martin, I too have the same problem and tried what you just posted and it still didn't work. I sent my computer specs to the eLicense support email that was sent to me about the problem. JohnO

TOW installed with no problem Works fine except getting my butt kicked playing the game The only problem I have right now is the Mission editor not opening. JohnO

Same here Windows XP Home. Sent before I added the OS to it

Madmatt, I'm experiencing the same thing, Application Error: Wrong game version. The application will not work with a current version of a game Theater of War. I will email as well to elicense JohnO

Well I took the plunge and ordered TOW before the demo came out, but I was going to order anyway. Looking forward to a great game and burning allot of midnight oil playing it.

I’m thinking on running a Mail Battle Exercise (MBX) instead of running another CPX. Mostly due to up coming major holidays and trying to get players together over weekends What I would like to know if there are players who would be interested in participating in an MBX instead of a CPX and for me to get some practice on running an MBX? The way I’m going to do this, is that the players will start in Brigade Staff positions during the planning phase then step down to command battalions except for the Brigade commanders who would remain in that position. You will send orders at the tactical level to me whom I would implement and ran the battle on my computer and send back reports and screen shots. There will be log packs to resupply units, engineers, and a lot of other elements to command. This is an excerpt from “The MBX FAQ” by Riki Tiki and James Sterrett for players who may not know what an MBX is “MBX stands for Mail Battle eXercise, which is a double-blind umpired wargame based on the somewhat more common CPX (Command Post eXercise), a type of wargame real life militaries play for training purposes. Both games attempt to do the same thing: simulate the experience of command from inside a command post which is where most modern combat is controlled (not on the actual field of battle). Unlike a CPX, however, which is usually played in a single day at a frenetic pace in real time, an MBX is conducted at a more leisurely pace over e-mail, typically for a period of several months. Thus, an MBX can explore the details of battle in a way that promotes in-depth discussion and careful analysis among the players as opposed to testing quick reactions under pressure”. For more information about MBX http://www.tacopshq.com/MBX/mbxfaq.html So you can see it will be done over months instead of a weekend.

Yes motorcycles, horses no, cows no, birds no, dogs no, cats no

Holy crap, I'm drooling everytime I see aircraft in the screenshots doing what their suppose to do. Need to see screenshots of fighting in small villages. What about the soundtrack for ToW, is it all Russian? John

So if ships were removed what about crossing streams or water. Does that means that the only way to cross water is to cross over with bridges? John

I saw this screenshot from one of the Theatre of War website and was wondering if there is any boats, landing crafts or anything else that floats in Theatre of War? John Osborne
