My personal experience shows that using Word or wordperfect screws up the documents in CM. I use the normal wordpad text program provided by windows to do the briefings,gave no problems

Mc Auliffe ,file is onderweg

allied player A suffered a minor defeat 57-43% against axis W worse game I have playesd in weeks :mad:

Ok,I preferably play against another BoB or Rugged Defense member

Hi michael, If you have Mc Auliffes battle of Foy than you can be sure its a very good and reliable recreation of the area,as well of the forces. If you want I will play it against you....... we never played a game so this can be a good opportunity. Henk

hehe still here but kind of busy I did play it,I have also send you an email about my findings. Didnt you get that one? Please let me know Henk [ June 08, 2002, 01:24 PM: Message edited by: Stoffel ]

Thanks Flaming Knives. have you reviewed the scenario allready???

It must be a problem on your machine. I ran the new tacops version and tacops 3.0 on XP. only a small minor graphics problem occured in 3.0 but its no big deal since 3,0 is history anyway. Did you do a complete upgrade on XP? Try reinstalling Tacops or the compatibility modus,right click on the program's icon for the compatibility mode.

try my latest, Bourquebus ridge scenario ,its on the depot. Henk play as the allies

He Big All, you beat me with posting the message After a very intense and brutal fight with heavy casualties,I am proud to report the first win for the Allies!! I will post my AAR when the first round is over Although it was very close,the flyboys saved my ass. Thanks Big Al for the great game!

Major, QB stands for quick battle,the not so very loved feature of CM to generate your own battle against the pc or someone else with you r own preferences in weather,terrain and troops.

To answer your questions, yes you can pbem,and yes its fun,you can also play in TCP/internet multiplayer mode. 8 different force colours are possible. Its turn based 1 minute turns,(though in multiplayer mode turns can be made longer i.e. two or more minutes. So far there is no QB option like in CM,you cant play as opfor against the pc. A cm style editor is on the wishlist but doesnt come in the near future. You can create a map and a scenario with your own troops in pbem and tcp,opfor has no restrictions What is tacops? tacops is an abstracted way of fighting ,basically you move unit icons on a map. but you can employ reallife tactics many which will not work in CM. It doesnt have a sophisticated 3d area as CM but it rocks. It also has a very nice SOP standard orders menu. It features Latest units and weapons Engineers and engineering tools and vehicles Civilians armed and unarmed. Scores of all kinds of helicopters (un)armed Umpire mode and tools for multiplayer mode I can only say ,buy the game!

you can send the map to the scenario depot. It also has a map database,yours will have a nice home there,I think my email is in the profile,send it and I will have a look. Stoffel

During two weeks ago test session I drove Nick crazy with that Tacops tactic. He had his units in defilate position,saw my units when they fired(took casualties) and got crazy because they dissappeared before his units could return fire Coyote : I have a nice patch for steel beasts. Send me a mail if you want them.

Well Robert, I tried this in Steel beasts. While driving a LEO 2 you can see a BRDM AT vehicle fire its missile. Than you see a small ball of light heading towards you. Only if you have your thermals on and if you are fast enough you can kill the ATvehicle before the missile hits your tank. It all depends on the range the enemy is at,at 2000 meters you have a lot of time to engage the ATGM unit if you spot them fast enough My experience wit tacops is that you have an abstracted surprise element that would last for 15 seconds. So best tactics is to use advance to enemy and in the sop menu reverse when enemy unit is spot Give a target type order for the unit you wish to engage. Great tactic that usually works well.

If you select this option, so that all firing units will be spotted,you loose an important aspect of this game. No more working ambushes and no surprise! definitely favouring the attacker

Ok, I will have a look at it. Email is in my profile. Expect no mercy Henk
