Why are off map reinforcements a thing?
Franko replied to Spitzenhund's topic in Combat Mission Black Sea
I think the big problem, and the most obvious one after more than ten years of these games, is that scenario designers often make maps that are TOO small in relation to the amount of units involved. The real battlefield is largely an empty battlefield. This may take care of the reinforcement problem right there. -

I'm with you. I tried again and it hung again. So, it downloads to about 1.33 gb (every time), then slows to a crawl and stops. It drives me crazy. I had a free saturday, but its gone now.

Hilarious. It keeps going up in "time remaining". From 1 hour and 5 minutes remaining. Then 6 minutes. Then, after about five minutes, the time keeps going backwards! i'm re-uploading a download, apparently.

I'm on my seventh attempt or so on a brand new mac. It starts out great, and then it hangs around 50% through it (according to the bar), and then sort of slows down to 350 k/ps or so. This is frustrating. I'm not sure what to do.

Killing Patton--anyone read it?
Franko replied to John Kettler's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Agreed. Plus, Stewart wasn't actually interviewing the REAL author. O'Reilly doesn't write anything. He uses his name to sell his books to loudmouth redneck idiots. -
Deployment of Heavy machineguns on the Attack movie
Franko replied to Faelwolf's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Also, the attacker rarely gets much setup room. In reality, there is much more depth to the attacker's zone. In this video, you can see that there's a lot going on behind the rifleman's attack position. F -

Excellent vid, thanks. Now I'm inspired to do a battalion level engagement! -
This sounds silly, but old period tactics manuals are helpful. The best phrase, and completely true and useful: "Find 'em, fix 'em, flank 'em, finish 'em."

BFC, Your Game/Business Model/Silence SUX!
Franko replied to mjkerner's topic in Combat Mission Red Thunder
I'm fed up with the criticism of Battlefront's "business model". The only thing we should be concerned with is whether the price is fair on exchange for what we receive. So far, they've offered a good game at modest prices. Now stop wetting the bed and leave these guys alone. These guys have run Battlefront for at least 15 years. Most of the whiners have only run their mouths. -
All good news. I respect the fact that you continually improve your product. And good job predicting the inevitable idiot.

What ever happened to 'Fionn'?

For the record, some of us old-timers are still here. -
John Kettler status report
Franko replied to Childress's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
It's been awhile since I checked on this thread. Nope. -
49. And I happy there are so many "mature" individuals out there. Anyone want to do a h2h? Drop me a line. Email preferred, but real time ok.

How do I download 2.0 for free?

By the way, the Batman slapping Robin post said it all. -

No, Battlefront can pay their payroll and personal bills with good will. Please, somebody donkey-punch him. I don't want to violate the TOS.
