At the seige of Tobruk the Australian AASC (didn't receive Royal status til after wars end) units defended the perimeter, longer than any other unit! Go Truckies. Ron

Maybe a spoiler Playing User made operation, Brussel, the campaign came to an abrupt ending. Playing as the Jerries, at the end of battle 6 suddenly credited a Total victory. US casualities, were 1499 222 veh destroyed. The Germans 429 cas 12 pillboxes 32 veh. The odd thing is that I only a total of 11 up to this battle and my guesstimate, was around 50 US vehs. My casualities had totalled 79 by the end of turn 5, but suddenly lost 350 in last battle, just little odd. Checked out the Operation using the editor and the US had nothing like 200 Vehicles, is this a bug? Ron

Good day, I'm currently playing the Ops Brussel, noticed unusual occurence in squad make up after about four battles, I have two PzGren Pioneer squads, both with different F/P one with 241 & the other 268. When I checked the configurations one had 4 LMG and the other 2. One 2 MP44 and one none. Is this a small bug or is it the way the Op AI distributes the Replacements at the end of each battle.

Darn you Joch, for forty years I've been a tiger man, but after that last post I'm gunna have to find another club! [This message has been edited by Blackwood (edited 08-07-2000).]

Melbourne Oz

Good day Smack, I just bought a TNT 2 PCI. I have a low end machine and it has certainly improved my performance in CM. Doesn't appear to have any compatability problems and is a pretty cheap buy at $A140. very happy, getting all the benifits such as translucent smoke etc. Ron

47 but who cares I'm Happy. My age is good excuse for coming last in my BFAs (fitness tests). people running them, think I'm slow and old, but the truth is I like watching those 19 & 20 year old girlie bums bobbing up and down. Ron

And we use to complain about Capt. Manieri JP leaves him for dead! Long live Benny. Ron

You keep asking the same question anything from 10 days to 4 weeks.

I loved Napoleonic figurines from 90 to 200mm, and armoured vehicles, sadly bought a computer about 10 years ago and modelling went by the wayside. Ron

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Big Time Software: It looks like you didn't install the v1.01 patch correctly, meaning that the new v1.01 BMP files were either: 1. Not placed in the BMP directory at all, or 2. Were placed in the BMP directory, but WITHIN the directory they came in with the patch. You need to copy the BMP files as individual files into the main BMP directory. When you're done, there should be NO sub-directories inside your BMP directory. Charles<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yep I'm a dope! When I'd check for additional directories before I have looked for new bmp dir, wasn't there but ignored the 1.01 dir just dum I guess. I did extract into a temp directory then copy across, but didn't work not to worry all sorted out now, sorry for wasting your time, but I'm happy now those new explosions are great, thanks for heading me in the right direction Ron

Charles, Does the screen shot give you a good idea of what I'm talking about? Do you need anymore info? Ron

I can recall reading somewhere that there is a fella in Oz that supplies working WW2 tanks to the movie makers. Ron

"MONDAY" I HOPE MINE ARRIVES AS QUICK AS YOURS<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Joch, I'm from Melbourne as well (East Sub) My order was shipped 21\06\00 Rec'd 05\07\00

Still the same as the last poll The Hetzer, looks good great sloping armour useful gun and value for money. the first scenario I played had a Hetzer took some M4 & TDs and fared well, aways buy at least in every QB, and got a liking for the Lynx.

How do you import screen captures to the board? Ron

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Wazron: Could anyone from australia who has purchased the game give me an idea how long they had to wait?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Wazron, My CM was shipped 21/6/00 and I received it 5/7/00, others took a few days longer. Where you live may have a small bearing on it. Ron [This message has been edited by Blackwood (edited 07-22-2000).]

Bts, please assist me overcoming this white expanding block. I have ascertained its a problem is with the 1.01 CM exe file up date not the graphics. I have uninstalled and installed twice and still got the problem. Using all the latest drivers. Using Tnt2 pci card. pent 233 80 meg ram and v7a DX. Would show you a screen capture not sure how to import onto board. I can get new explosions. please help getting a little pissed. Ron

To add a little trivia to this thread, once read that 90% of police shoot outs were in 7 metre distance from crooks to goodies and 75 to 80% of all shots fired missed, and you're worried about 1 panzerfaust! [This message has been edited by Blackwood (edited 07-21-2000).]

Try Pioneers

I just played QB in heavy fog v/hilly terrain, I had Pl of Gebirgsjager Pioneers hiding on crest as pl of Brit inf ran up the hill the Gebirg Pl wipe out the Brits in about 25 seconds no survivors at no loss, which gets me to another thread on the board, favorite unit, that action has just convinced me, if I am in a scenario with limited visability, a couple pl of Gebirgs will high on the purchase list. Ron

I'm still having My expandinding square prob Steve Charles any ideas, just dl Dx7a no change. Everything else is great but glitch is pissing me off I know other people have had this problem Has anyone managed to fix it? ron

Has anyone else experienced Us atomic grenades. Justfinished playing a QB Germans vs US a Panther decided pit its self against A US Pl Hq at about 20 metres, the panther fired its main gunned 4 times + MGs no apparent damage, US HQ throw Grenade, dead tank! Thinking his was a bit odd replayed sequence another 4 times via auto save panther every time, gotta be something out of whack here. grenades aren't that good. Charles any thoughts of cranking down the lethal effect of grenades. Ron
