What indicates that it saves as PBEM++ file? It should not save at all. You will be asked for passwords.

There is someone with that user name on this forum. So, you can send them a PM.

When that happens to me, as it does.....not just with Comat Mission......it is usually a key that is stuck or somefink stuck to the bottom of my mouse. There are no reports of the game doing that on it's own (to answer your question directly )

Did anyone post this before? It'll be on lots of kids Christmas lists in Ukraine this year.

Any game that is at Game Engine 4 OR any 4.0 Upgrade download are all all-in-one installers. Pro Tip: While downloading and installing, gather all of your license keys and put them in a Word doc or somefink. That way when you've done installing activating can happen very quickly. I should add......How will you know if your game is using Game Engine 4 when looking at them in your account? The Product ID will end in V4. Like "CMFI-B3V4" for the Fortress Italy Big Bundle. The V4 at the end lets you know it is Game Engine 4.

I remember, back when beta testing it, that I enjoyed it MUCH more than Shock Force.

NUTS!!!!! My bad!!!! Saturday the 15th. Not Monday.

Reminder and heads up........There is just under a week left to wrap up your battles! If you're getting close to next Saturday morning's deadline (8:30am UTC) try to at least get ceasefires. That will give you the in game Combat Mission scores which will be much higher than what you see displayed now. Right now I am, somehow, in second place, both for the round and overall. We can't let that happen, can we?

Should be for both.

You can ping me anytime.

I was a little surprised that the list was so long. When I hear back from HQ I will let you folks know if any of these are intentional.

There is a laundry list of missing units. All have been submitted to HQ. Here's the complete list: Vehicles Missing from Single Vehicle menu Sturmpanzer IV Brummbär (mid) Sturmpanzer IV Brummbär (late) Elefant Hummel Pz IIIM (Flame) Soviet Units missing from Specialist Teams menu DP LMG (Army and Guards) DPM LMG (Army and Guards) DShK HMG (Army and Guards) German Units missing from Specialist Teams menu Flamethrower (except Luftwaffe) LMG34 (Heer and SS) HMG34 (SS and Volkssturm) LMG42 (SS and Volkssturm) HMG42 (Volkssturm) PaK36(r) 76mm (Heer, SS and Luftwaffe except airborne) IeG18 75mm (Heer, SS and Luftwaffe armored infantry. Also Heer infantry prior to October and SS infantry prior to February)

I have found the issue. It is not end user error. It is somefink that needs to be fixed and proper authorities have been notified. Thanks for flagging me with this one.

Let me see if I can get you a more detailed answer. From the TO&E page on the Red Thunder page:

Whenever I find myself wondering somefink like this I check the manual. That will usually show availability dates. The Dshk is not listed in either the base game or Fire and Rubble manuals.

Welcome aboard!!! I feel the same way about the game. I played Advanced Squad Leader for year sand years and when home PCs started to be available for everyone I started to dream about a computer game that would do what the board game did.....but better. I got lucky and stumbled across a beta AAR being played by 2 guys that haven't posted here in ages Moon and Fionn. Each day I waited for a new installment. The screenshots and descriptions of tactics were gripping. Then that Fall Battlefront released a Public Beta Demo of Combat Mission Operation Overlord and it was all over. As you said...It was the game that I'd always wanted. And now, 24 years later it's even better. And even crazier, I now work for them full time!

Are you able to open a Help Desk ticket? If so, do that. I need some personal information to suss out what I think you may be seeing now. It sounds like you're now seeing this: https://community.battlefront.com/topic/134202-cmsf2-getting-a-splash-screen-with-just-the-tank-firing-in-the-dark-heres-why/ But for Normandy....Not CMSF2 I was actually doing that last Saturday while playing with Peng. I have a Samsung Z Fold 4 that opens to be a small tablet. My choices while waiting for the slow group ahead of us was to either log into the Help Desk or talk to Peng. Guess which I chose.

Let's start by seeing if this helps: https://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com/help/article/127911

You should always save the game in the orders phase before applying the patch (there is even a note about it in the readme file). This isn't possible if you are playing PBEM++ though. There are never any guarantees that earlier version saves will survive a patch.

Yup. A bunch actually.

You're playing against our contact at Matrix/Slitherine, Mark. I've sent him a nudge.

I can personally send one to him.

@ALBY and I just finished Round 2. That may have been the most fun that I've ever had with Shock Force (1 or 2). It really was a hoot. And super fun to see how he was handling the same situation differently than I was. I'm also thankful for his play and commentary while we were going at it. A real pleasure to play against him.

You can determine it yourself, if you use the PBEM++ method. Create a Challenge with whatever size battle that you want. The other players can decide if they'd like to play one that side. And there plenty of people that like all sorts of sizes. Some like only huge battles for PBEM....some only like tiny battles. And everywhere in between.

Use your 3.0/4.0 Upgrade to download and install the entire game. The original Game Engine 1 will not run on Windows 10 or 11.
