Periodically we're prompted to update the forum software. Yesterday was one of those days. It seems to have changed more than normal. I'll play around with the backend and see if the editing time can be changed the background color of quotes.

Check out the CMSF2 forum.

I just made an announcement on the CMFS2 forum. If you own CMSF2 you may want to check it out.

Important: The key that is used to get you Steam key is your CMSF2 key. This was just posted on the Matrix forum. Here is how you'll be able to get your Steam access for CMSF2 if you've purchased the game through Battlefront:

I see that Ithikial didn't mention it in his wrap up but what you saw was a bug with the beta that we have reported. I had orders ALL of the units into the buildings next to where they died. I had suspected that I saw something similar near where the SMG Company was set up earlier in the battle and had mentioned it. The orders were to go into one side of the buildings and out the other. Hopefully firing a lot of bullets during the brief waypoint stop. Instead they ran wildly into the open and got torn to pieces. I'll get some screenshots and more information together but it's important that I add that when it happened I did not feel like I had lost the game because of it. After reading his AAR I believe that even more. It was not won or lost because of the bug. If that had been the case it would have been a big bummer for me, him and anyone that was following the battle. Also, we have some great examples of the bug to send to HQ. I was taking so long to do the little bit of editing that was needed for mine. So, I asked my son if he'd put it together for me. I sent him files labeled 1, 2 and 3. I didn't give him any context....just asked if could edit it together. When he sent me the file it was named: "Batch of Guys Getting Fu&ked Up. Their blood is on YOUR hands this time.mp4" (that's a copy/paste) True words.

They should be ok now.

Finally...The Human Wave video! I'll comment on it in a little while. But for now, enjoy.

Maybe a new thread in the Combat Mission General Discussion forum would be best. And tagging MikeyD.

When you open a ticket the auto response should send you your login information. It will be different than both the store and the forum. Otherwise drop me a note by direct message. There may be personal information that I have to ask you.

(ssshhhhhhhhhh)

Sorry to be so slow. I have been distracted big time by Battlefront stuff for the last week. The last few days in particular have been nuts. If you don't own CMSF2 you won't care about what I've been up to but if you do you will. Golf with Peng tomorrow which usually means that I cry the rest of my day away in front of a computer (not because of him beating me...he never does...but because we bring shame to the game) . With any luck that time will be spent making a video.

The difficult thing with the video is that it is such tight quarters. I'll do my best.

The wave happened yesterday. My next post will be a video. So it may take a little bit while I put it together. Here are a couple of quotes that Ithikial sent me via PM

I send some broken guys to run wildly in the open. The hope is that they will draw the attention of the Panther for a bit and maybe buy a man or 2 some extra time before killing them. Man what I wouldn't give to still have an OT-34 or 2 around for this.

We're just about ready. Everyone is packed into their launching positions and orders have been given.

This is an odd development. He's taken his Panzer IV near Berliner Weisse and begun to move down toward Jagermeister! That is one less thing to worry about on my suicide attempt human wave. My aircraft is still dropping bombs. It dropped a dandy of an explosion here. I have no LOS to the spot so I don't have any idea what it was targeting.

Nope! Hit and kill! And the crew got torched as they bailed out.

The arty is falling around Berliner Weisse. Almost time for the human wave. Air support comes in and harrasses him a little but I don't think it does any harm. YES!!!!! He comes right into the OT-34's sights!!!!!!!!! Please please please please please let me get the first shot.

What the?.............He can't possible be moving that tank down that street, can he? Oh boy..........

Since it may be difficult to tell....This is the street that the SMG Company was originally set up defending. He has begun to move some Volks across that street. I'v taken out at least 2 of them with sniper fire and most turn and run back the direction that they came from.

It's probably worth noting that while all of this has been going on I've a lot of big explosions coming from these buildings. Upon closer looks I can tell he is advancing through the buildings with demo charges. I don't do anything about it because by the time he is finished he'll be up against an unbeatable defense of Jagermeister.

I decide to move a squad to the wall at the park to try and catch any infantry trying to come across the opening that the MArk IV just retreated through. As I'm doing it my f#$*&I^% CAS decides to drop a bomb right where I'm running taking out 2 men. He has a few units along a hedge in the park. I am picking some off one at a time.

Yeah. Shadows are on.

It backed away safely before I could throw any grenades at it. Oh well. It was worth the shot.
