    new to combat mission, and Would like a few qucick questions awnserd.

    1.) ok i love this game but why did you choose it to be turn base instead of real-time.
    Simple answer? Because that's what the game designers wanted. If you want more detailed answers as to why CMBO will NOT work as an RT game, you have several years worth of detailed answers that can be found in the search engine.

    is it at all possible with the game engine to toggle turn base/ real time on or off for those who love real time/ and those who love turn base.
    No. And there's no plan for it either.

    and when they die they dont seem to have a realistic death hehe.
    This is a war game, not a first person shooter. You should also realize that when units are "eliminated" it doesn't necessarily mean they are "dead". It means they are unable to fight.

    CM2: Movie Replays?

    in Combat Mission Archive #3 (2001)

    Posted

    Read the last post from Steve

    "Replay of the whole movie file -> Yes, that is on our plate as an "Important" feature. Only thing that will squash this is if we get going on it and find that there is no reasonable way to implement without rewriting

    major sections of code. That is, BTW, the best way to do it, so we are already planning on some sort of ugly code hack."

    Still, having never used this feature... can I use it from the middle of an exisitng PBEM game, or do I have to start afresh?

    You can switch back and forth between TCP/IP and PBEM all you want. No problem.

    PS - the Tech Support group has been around a loooooooong time.

    Get used to it. It's not going to be in CM2 either. BTS has been clear about this over the last 2 years.

    I'd say "do a search" with the key word "campaign" if you want more detailed info and their reasons why.

    The idea is totally unrealisitic.

    Men that are counted as a casualty are wounded to the point that they can no longer participate in the battle. No amount of bandaging or pain killers is going to change that in a 30 minute to 1 hour battle.

    This darn game is giving me fits!!!!!!!

    Oh heck, maybe my tactics are flawed.

    I hate to be cruel, but yeah, that's exactly what it is. That and you likely have misconceptions about how things "should be".

    FWIW - I haven't lost a single game to the AI in a quick battle...well, nearly ever. In well designed scenarios the AI still gets to me now and then.

    Practice practice practice. And read some of the tactics web sites. I don't have the URL's handy, sorry.
