Well,I was curious about the people on the shrimp forum So I decided to have a look in their IRC chat room All kinds of little kids aged 16 and below without any notice of military stuff the reviewer(guy named Rootz)is the sites wargamer enthuisiast But I dont think he has enough knowledge of military tactics to understand the games purpose(as he clearly states in the way he wrote his review) I tried to explain them about the graphics and the Nvidia problem,took them a while to understand Some of them did not even know you could dl drivers for the videocard I think. One of them even asked me about the driverupdate from windows update:) Also made some attention to the other major pc magazines reviews and told them they could find more help and info on the battlefront forum. They provided a very negative review and given the number of people on their chatroom this can do a lot of damage to the cm selling in the low countries

I can give it a try,send it over. email is in the profile I have a friend who was born in that town. His grandfather was an artillery officer,thought a colonel in the war I'll ask him to have a look at the map Henk

Well I didnt want to hurt our Belgian cm brothers feelings by saying that JUJU I was born near Antwerpen in Vrasene But this guy is not stereotype most of the Belgians I know can speak very well Dutch

Major please dont remove the M113 with 25 mm It is a good alternative for the Dutch YPR vehicle Henk

boy o boy,even the Dutch story is formulated in terribly Dutch It was difficult to understand ,think the writer has an IQ of 20 or so. Clearly a supporter of other genres

errrrr,its The Netherlands Holland is just a province!! If anyone do comes over to see my country and wants to play a game (while the wife is watching the flowers,windmills and other non interesting stuff),drive to Soest and pay me a visit

Hmmm Deerslayer,I had the impression your arty hit more of your own troops than they hit mine But thanks for warning me So far I shot up a lot of worthless recon vehicles and troopcarriers,I havent seen to many tanks and my ammostock is rapidly declining But the troops are confident they will hold off the Brits,see Germany and die right..........

Hi Steve an update onprogress We are at turn 13 now Deerslayer plays the Brits and I have the germans Like I said we both like the map! We are not bored with the troops either,nice tactical moves and fierce fighting the reinforcements are placed well so far,specially the brit troops are placed on fun spots,cost me some headaches to contain the different threaths. But I think I managed well untill now Good job!

sendit to me please I have some days left and nothing else to do email is in the profile

Well I am glad I never had to fire a shot at someone else so my answer will not be very helpfull But all I can say is that the only thing I would care for in a war is trying to stay a live. I am sure I would be scared as hell

I think you should delete the copy of the entire bmp folder you made on the desktop. Than create a new map in the cmbo directory on the C drive ,not a copy of the default bmp folder itself name that new file original bmp and save the default BMP files in there when you have a mod but.....only the ones you need to replace There is no need to have a copy of the entire bmp folder It should work that way

What I did is create a new folder,I named it original bmp and placed it in the CMBO directory Now when I dl a mod I move the default bmp to that folder and move the bmp from the mod into the default bmp file

a or b extension means you can switch the files for different configurations most times these are vehicles bmp with turret numbers or divisional markings or different colour schemes such as the tri,bi and mono coloured german vehicles just rename the files. The game plays the bmp's without the a and b extension

I have almost the same configuration you have but a different card TNT2 32 mb And my mods are about 127MB I have no problems though. I dont know what it can be but I advice you to go to the tech forum. You will meet the upper guru of CM technical problems ther: Schrullenhaft A guy who knows everything and should be on BTS payroll

Hi John I did a new install of XP professional. make sure you have enough memory at least 256ram Both tacops 3.0 and 4.0 test version run ok on my computer. Make sure for other games that you dl the latest drivers. Some games have graphic problems especially with Nvidia cards 27.50 driver is latest,make sure you have that one

Hi Steve I just started your scenario in PBEM. It will take a while before it ends. Map looks great though,I cant tell anything about the forces till I played it out though Henk

PeterJohn is a piece of cake. Last time I played it ,I only lost 1 tank but killed all red units I tried to play the scenario with an airborne bn and Hmmv's than its a bit more difficult in fact I was blown to pieces with that force. Kelley is more a fighting retreat against overwhelming odds,has little to do with scouting IMHO

crews and other useless infantry can do that trick too:) so make sure if you hit an enemy vehicle ,too kill those crews at once if you have a safe chance to do it [ March 20, 2002, 06:14 AM: Message edited by: Stoffel ]

that happens with jokes in other languages Mike I didnt understand yours and you didnt understand mine ,LOL!!!! but Welcome on board new man! send me a setup for a battle if you have never played another human before shame to you all for not inviting this fellow to play :eek:

What you can do is use the Kincaid scenario. Its a heli battle where the helicopters have to engage and destroy an Opfor mech regiment What you can do is delete a part of the helicopterforce, for instance the sccout Kiowas and some apaches and add a ground reconunit with bradleys This way you can go scout with the brads and kill with help from the apaches and the artillery. Very difficult to keep the brads a live ,but fun

Yes Mike you are right. But I thought I could give some info on the MBX as well. Rich the battle took place in 2009,yes in the far away future. We had aircraft carriers and other ships with awacs and we had aircraft garrisons based on Ascencion island Tornadoes and harriers The argentinians use the Laavp as well and M113's So in tacops 4.0 you can simulate this quit well. I shall ask Rikki the maps he used(if they are not in the TACOPS HQ map directory) and think of a scenario,maybe when 4,0 is released we can do a battle than. henk

some time ago someone mentioned he would create a sandbag mod,using the stone wall. This was for use in ditches. Is this person ready with it or better did you actually start with it? Stoffel

Michael,that about the trains is very low. Take back those words!! I play with trains too............. damn ,now I didn't want to say that

HI Juju, Nice work but I dont see a Stgw43??? just kidding. Can you make some mods with mp 35 or mp 28 for the germans to replace the mp 40? please,please [ March 19, 2002, 06:45 AM: Message edited by: Stoffel ]
