    Some more strange events

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Posted

    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?

    Odd Squad setups

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

Would show you a screen capture not sure how to import onto board. I can get new explosions.

    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.

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! mad.gif 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.

    Assuming that you've used the v. 1.01 patch (and your CD wasn't originally v. 1.02)...

    Did you copy the new BMPs (1720-1729) to the BMP directory ? They can't be in a subdirectory within the BMP folder or they won't be "seen".<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Yes, I copied everything across correctly, I am getting the effects of the new explosins but it is followed by the expanding white square, I have checked to see if the new bmp files are there and they are. Is there any settings I need to change on my card?

    Ron

    By the way thanks for your input Schrullenhaft
