Before installing the 2.11 patch make sure that you have the 2.10 patch installed. The 2.10 patch is not installed when the 2.11 patch is installed.

That's it. It's time to take some decisive action. I have earlier moved the SMG Platoon from 6th Company to take cover the area where the SMG Company got smoked. I am not going to commit the other 2 platoons to move on Berliner Weisse. I am thinking that if they make it up there intact I'm going to get all human wave on Berliner Weisse. I've got plenty of time to rethink that idea but that's what's going through my mind right now. One of the Sapper teams is back up that way and without that pest to harass them they can get to work trying to retrieve some demo charges fro their fallen brothers.

Back down by Jagermeister things aren't quite as rosey. @Aragorn2002's SPW 251/21 is proving to be a pain in more ways than on. In ONE shot it completely eliminated a Maxim MG team. Also, related to the SPW 251/21 I tried to move an AT Rifle team into position to take it out and one of the guys in the team got hit. Wanna guess which one?

That nagging guy in the screenshot above, the one who'd scrounged an MG42 and faust and been a torn in my side is finally chased away.

Dude, you're the benchmark. I'm glad it's what you'd hoped for.

Thanks but that was actually it was @ChrisND who did that. I just used copy/paste.

I know that I am WWWAAAAAAYYYY behind. The last week has been non-stop nuts. I promise to get caught up this weekend.

I worked on double checking the indirect fire voices and they were good the other day..so, yes....they better be.

Yes, it does compress better and smaller. Size matters. Both for the end user to download (both speed and if they have metered bandwidth) and server storage on our end. As the guy who runs the Help Desk, and has to explain to some people what a RAR file is and how to extract it from time to time, you can bet I've campaigned with HQ about using ZIP instead. They are battles that I have yet to win.

I'm pretty sure that it doesn't matter which player converts the PBEM. I've never once thought about whether I should be the one converting a file or if my tormentor should be the one to convert it.

May have just been that one situation. Because it was addressed for the patch I can confirm that it has changed from the last build. I set up a test scenario just to see if there was anything obvious. The Gill teams took out 9 out of 10 tanks in 1 minute. They used a total of 18 rounds. I didn't look closely enough to see if some teams fired at the same tank at the same time or anything like that. I just pressed the red button and looked at the results after a minute. I'll attach my little test scenario but unless you see a pattern of it I'd think their accuracy has been improved. Gill Test.btt

Yes, open the PBEM file in 2.10. During the plot phase save the game. Close CMFI completely and apply the patch. Then load the saved game and finish your email turn. Your opponent will need the patch installed to play the turn that you send them.

They are all up now.

Normally a patch won't kill an existing game. Before adding the patch save the game in the plot phase. Then apply the patch and opened the saved game.

The full installers with the new patches are being uploaded now. But, yes, they will be included in the "all-in-one" installers

We've just released new patches for the following games: Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy Combat Mission: Black Sea Combat Mission: Shock Force 2 Combat Mission: Fortress Italy Combat Mission: Final Blitzkrieg The patch for Red Thunder will come out with the release of the Fire and Rubble module. The fixes for each game vary. Most are minor bug fixes and TO&E fixes. The one fix that they are share is that infantry is less likely to leave good cover when under fire. Infantry will not rout toward known enemy units.

I think we've all had enough of this.

I did seriously think that there might be some kind of inside joke thing going on. It is the same question that has been asked on this forum for 20 years and it has been the exact same answer for the past 20 years. It has never changed....ever. Why does anyone think that answer might be different now? And it isn't because we want to withhold something. It's for exactly the reasons that you describe.

Yes.Yes they do. And I won't add to that. As far as I'm concerned it's on schedule for a summer release. But I thought that with Rome to Victory last year and it came out in November. How's that? Does that answer the question?
