I would like a Mac OS version as well. While I intend to get one of the new Intel Macs, I don't really want to buy a copy of XP as well to play the game if I don't have to. I also boot into OS 9 on my iMac to play the CM1 games but I don't play them as much as I used to because of having to reboot. David

According to this website: http://pma275.navair.navy.mil/ Full production was approved in October 2005. The site does not say (at least I could find it on the site) how many are actually operating now. Perhaps others have more details. It would be an interesting addition to the game. -- David

I have a Rev. B iMac as well. CMBO and CMBB both run on it. The graphics in CMBB are not quite up to modern standards but it is very playable. Make sure you have the display set to not more than 800x600. There is not enough vram for 1024x768 to play the game and just quits like yours is doing. Dropping the colors from millions to thousands might help as well. CMBO ran fine on 96 MB of RAM for me. Also... Rev B iMacs came with 6MB of VRAM.

Yes you can do this. No special software needed on either machine. You have two choices to hook them together, First and not my favorite choice is to use an ethernet crossover cable. The second way, and best way (IMHO) is to use an inexpensive ethernet hub and connect the computers to the hub using regular ethernet cables. Set both computers to use DHCP and they will grab an IP address with a 169 prefix like 169.154.32.100 or something. Then you should be able to play CMBB over the network. BTW - I have done this for other reasons but playing CMBO or CMBB is the best one yet! Hope this helps David [ February 22, 2003, 07:06 PM: Message edited by: GNFAN ]

Received the replacement Windows CD Rom today. The install went without a hitch. Thanks for great service! David

Hi, I upgraded from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X a couple of months ago. I had no problems at all. It even recognized my Epson printer and installed the driver for it. I did have to install a driver under Classic in order print from Classic Apps. CMBO does not run under Classic. I just restart under Mac OS 9 and play away. Regards, David

It should still run in "Classic" mode.

It looks very good and it's just the excuse, as if I really need one, to buy a new faster computer with more video RAM, a bigger screen, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera!

I had this happen on an operation when I neglected to give the Germans a setup zone. The units were all clustered in one corner of the map behind the American line. Very interesting when the the shooting started. Once I gave the German units a zone it worked as expected.

This reminds me of a story my father told me. He was in an engineering airport contstruction battalion in WWII. He and a buddy were in small truck headed for Orly airport in Paris to survey it in order to get it ready to use as fighter bomber base. They somehow got into the middle of one of Patton's tank columns headed for Paris to help liberate it. It was night and there was a tank in front and one behind moving at top speed for the tanks. My father was driving and realized that if the tank in front of him stopped the one behind would roll right right over them as if they were not even there. The first wide spot in road that he came upon he pulled over and let the column move by them. He said in was pretty intense for a while there. It's probably a good thing to have you computer tanks stop rather than rolling over the computer jeep or computer truck in front of them.

Upgrade the VRAM to 6MB. I have Rev B iMac with 6MB of VRAM and it works fine at 800 x 600. Still doesn't go at 1024 x768 but since I can add no more VRAM I'll have to live with it. See this Apple article " iMac: Type of Memory to Order to Upgrade RAM and VRAM" for ram info. http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n58007

I have a Rev B iMac with 96MB of ram running Mac OS 9.0.4 with the latest system updates. CM runs just fine at 800 x 600. It does not work at 1024 x 768 however. It just quits. I would prefer to play it at a higher resolution to be able to see more of the field at one time. Anyone know why it does not like the higer resolution?

I have a rev B iMac with Mac OS 9.0.4 and the demo runs fine with one exception which was I had to change the resolution from 1024 x 768 to 800 x 600 to get it to work. The demo quit on me at the high resolution for some reason. Overall I am very impressed with the game. Great work and it's nice to see it on the Mac platform!!
