Too sweet! Yeah, I think that would change the way you would deploy, well, yourself.

Open in new window? I'm talking about the graphics that load with this site - they take too doggone long to load. How about some regular text links and skip the big graphics.
-
Hey, don't get me wrong - I love Battlefront as much as the next guy (in a platonic, gaming sort-of heterosexual way...) but I've been meaning to post about this for awhile now. Battlefront, can you revamp your graphics on the forum? How about ditching the sandbags and simplifying it so the forum will load that much quicker!! Seriously guys, just consider a facelift.
Talk amongst yourselves...

My name is in there somewhere and I long for the day when I will see it up there "on the big screen". Some day, some day....

I was 40 turns into a 45-turn scenario (not a PBEM game), autosaved to do something else...came back and played a PBEM game...then went back to my first game (not a PBEM) and it wasn't there to play. Did the PBEM overwrite my other saved game?
Anyone else had this problem or am I missing something?

I like the PDF format - the reader should be standard on a computers now, right? Anyway, it's easier to print.

OK, roger that. Thanks for the explanation - oh, by the way, the Allied and Axis newspapers for the Meta Campaign thing are excellent ideas...didn't make the cut for round 1 but at least I can read about it!

Seems like it would be possible for the mod makers to place extra items on the tanks/vehicle mods like bushes and branches for camo purposes and extra equipment (that you always see lashed in some fashion to a vehicle).
I think it would add something to the look of the vehicles - it would enhance the uniqueness of the mod and give a realistic feel to the vehicle. After all, what you don't stick on a vehicle you have to carry yourself...whatdya think?

Well, if they were there were a heck of a lot of them and they all only lasted for a fraction of a second! I've never seen anything like this before. Need someone to look at the PBEM file.

BIGTIME,
Never had a problem with anything before this. You guys have to check this one out cause its one for the books! (Give me an email address and I will attach the PBEM file and send to you to watch).
Basically, vehicles start appearing and disappearing all over part of the map in a very, very quickly! As far as I know, my PBEM partner doesn't even have troops in that area.
Totally freaky!
Please repond...and thanks.
-
I wish to extend my thanks for the hard work as well - your efforts are highly appreciated...once they are released just close your eyes and picture mac-users everywhere in the world with a great big s----eating grin on their faces! You guys are fantastic!

CM is all I have the time and desire for right now - I am waiting for a game called Halo (by Bungie) to come out some time in the next 6-12 months...Marathon was a great series.
-
Actually, the historical scenario I am working on has a few...too bad I couldn't get em to work.
-
Admittedly I have only been working on my first map BUT I think the bridges in CM have definite bugs. Targeting under/around bridges is freaky and computer-controlled vehicles/men will avoid going under bridge at all costs. Computer controlled men/machines will go around, usually, although I witnessed vehicles at one point going through the bridge partially, disappear and appear on top of the bridge. Weird stuff, my friends, weird stuff.
I am taking bridges with roads underneath out of my map. This will hurt it's accuracy but no one will play the damn thing if the bridges screw up like they have. Nuff said.
-
I don't disagree with you, Olle, and I think that we should be able to blow holes through this stuff, hedgerows, walls, minefields, etc. I was curious if anyone actually had a story about a tracked vehicle or any vehicle actually getting caught up in the stuff.
-
OK, I think we had this discussion a long time ago, but it still bugs me! Do I have this wrong or does CM have only troops being hassled by barbed wire? I confess that I haven't tried to drive a vehicle through some yet...
Only reason I ask is that I am curious about what happens when you run a tank through some concertina wire - I once saw a deuce and a half truck run through some and it was a nightmare - the concertina wire wrapped around the axels, etc. In short, the truck became entangled and had to stop. I assume this would happen to jeeps and other vehicles but not sure what would happen to a tracked vehicle.
Someone out there knows and that's why I'm asking.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. (Stole that little ditty from Groucho Marx - modified it to fit the occasion, of course).

Can't resist this one...(clearing throat noises)
"Hello! You can't be going...You have to stay, I came to say you can't be going. It was a gas, I've had my laughs - you can't be going....
For our sakes, you must stay. You cannot go away - you'll ruin this party we are throwing....
Please stay a week or two, Please stay the whole night through, but I'm telling you...
You
can't
be
going."
(Thankyou, thankyouverymuch)

Once overwhelmed some Germans, their official status was captured and they started towards my lines. Then they took some fire from someone and took off back to their lines where they later rejoined the fight. Weird.
-
Preserves? Never use 'em on the battlefield. Always buy fresh, that's my motto.
Um...oh, reserves.
-
Sorry about the last part (copied it from the tips thread and didn't get rid the unnecessary stuff)

Mapmaking question: If you put a flag on the map, does the game AI interpret that as the goal? I mean, will the opposing forces automatically head towards the flag and try to conquer and hold the area around the flag? I am trying to get something accomplished in a map but preliminary testing was with more than one flag...should I use only one? I'd appreciate any and all comments.

I would just like to post and say that I have played the Trois Points scenario and it is fantastic!! I played the Americans and got creamed...and it was one heck of a lot of fun. I had created a Trois Points map about 3 months ago, my wife had a baby and I revisited the map and got disgusted with it - now I am glad I didn't post it as this version was much, much better! My hats off to the creator of this fine scenario (I will play it again and be victorious!!!)
