  1. I'm currently starting a scenario from The Few Good Men, Hamelin-Spear and Shield HvsH v2 via PBEM++. The blue forces are not deployed, just clumped together leaving the blue player to deploy obsticles, mines, wire, foxholes, trenches and TRP's in addition to the blue forces. What I've discovered is that you can't save during the setup. If you do, then reopen the turn you saved using the save game command in the menu, all of your setup is lost and you have to start from scratch. I'm finding that very frustrating. My recollection is that this didn't happen in earlier titles. Is this a problem with PBEM++ or is it a bug or feature? Has anyone else noted this?
  2. Only turns in the outgoing folder were for different games. I deleted them anyway and the problem persists.
  3. Just tried it. Still no go. One thing I did notice is that the turn number is not incrementing. I played turn 65 and it wanted to save turn 65 rather than 66. Manually changing the turn number doesn't help.
  4. No, @BFCElvissaid that they had reverted the PBEM++ server so that ver 1.06 is no longer required. The debacle I was referring to was stopping everyone's 1.05 game so that ver 1.06 could be tested. I have no idea if there is a link between my problem saving a turn in PBEM++ and the 1.06 test.
  5. This has been going on since the 1.06 debacle. Initially it happened with a battle with another opponent too, but that seems to have corrected itself. The problem with this battle/opponent has lasted for a week or so.
  6. I'm having a problem with one of my PBEM++ games. For some reason when I play the latest turn from my opponent, my turn does not save and the turn my opponent sent to me remains available for me to play. Anyone else seen this?
  7. Went to log into PBEM+ and got an error message that I needed to upgrade to 1.06. I don't see a 1.06 patch on the Battlefront.com site, only 1.05. Will the patch be coming soon?
  8. Went do play a PBEM++ turn and got a message that I had to upgrade to 1.05 (I had already installed 1.04). Went to the web site and no only is there no 1.05 patch, the 1.04 patch is gone too. What's up? Will a 1.05 patch be released today?
  9. I seem to recall that other weapons with a minimum range give you a message when you try to target something too close. Also, the game is letting me select a target, but nothing is fired. You may be right though...
  10. Playing a quick battle. I have an M106A1 that won't use it's 4.2" mortar for direct fire. Clear LOS to a target 700m distant and will not fire HE or smoke. Crew is fine and nothing is broken. Anyone else seeing this?
  11. I agree. This is a pain,especially using programs like CM Helper or Who's Turn is it?
  12. There's only a driver. There's no gunner for the MG. That's the reason the fire commands are greyed out.
  13. I don't think I've ever seen that behavior in any of the other CM titles.
  14. Playing Mittelaschenbach PBEM as the US. My A company command tank had just called for artillery when it was hit and destroyed, although the full crew was able to bailout. Despite its vehicle having been destroyed and having no radio, the dismounted crew was able to complete the fire mission and call new artillery and air support missions. This appears to be a bug...
  15. Bufo, do you know that for a fact? In the past so long as you saved then applied the patch, continuing games after a patch hasn't been problematic.
  16. I'm up for another game. PM me and we can get one started.
  17. Anyone up for a CMCW game? Message me here. I can usually so a couple of turns a day.
  18. Years ago, HPS Simulations published Broken Alliance as part of its Panthers in the Shadows/Tigers on the Prowl series. I recall that it covered the period 1945 to 1955 in Europe and Korea. I enjoyed playing it a lot and I would love for Battlefront to do something similar.
  19. The website for CM Helper seems to have disappeared and the latest version of the program I can find is 1.7.6-Alpha 4. Are there any recommended alternatives that anyone recommends to automate the exchange of turns in PBEM games?
  20. Looking for an opponent for CM2 games, especially CMSF2. I can generally do multiple turns per day and I prefer to use CH Helper, although that's not a must.
