Hubert and Pzgnrd I did try the demo and it took about 10 minutes just to figure out how to quit! I was ready to kill it from the task list when I stumbled on the button that changed the other buttons. I pushed the pieces around but had no idea what I was missing without some kind of help file or manual. Are combined armor/infantry attacks possible? How do you drop paras? I tried moving a para and it switched to a transport but not back to a para when I moved it. Can subs interdict convoys, or are convoys even in the game? Tried moving an air unit and it seemed to bomb a land unit even though the picture was a fighter, but I don't know how to relocate air units or even if you can. How do ship units ferry land units for an invasion? Etc, etc. I'll bet it's a fine game but I just don't have the time to learn whether I like it by trial and error. I'm sure you have piracy concerns or marketing reasons for not including any help so I'll say no more. Best of luck with it. Elmo

Never played SC1 so without any kind of manual for the demo it is pretty much a non-starter for me. Too bad.

Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges...

Be sure to let it dry before putting it in the envelope.

Not as old as Old Grandma Hardcore: http://news.yahoo.com/s/bw/20051019/bs_bw/id20051018173699;_ylt=AlHleDUBw_BUxf79ahz.JSOs0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA3ODdxdHBhBHNlYwM5NjQ-

How old? Hmmm, let's see now. Ahhh. Ohhh about...uh. Where was I? Then again... Sorry, what was the question? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....

I see the problem. The link posted above by Jim1954 is not the same as the link from the Battlefront Resources page. The latter needs to be fixed.

I've been playing computer games since the days of the TRS-80, back in the late 70's. In all that time I have *never* had an accident with a CD. That is a pathetic excuse for a CD crack.

Works for me now too. :confused:

Is Boots and Tracks dead now too? The link on the Resources page for CMBB goes to another link that is dead. Can Battlefront spend a few cycles cleaning up these dead links? Edit - I suspect with CMC coming out poeple will be revisiting the CMBB support sites and it doesn't look good to have a bunch of links going nowhere.

The link to CM:BB Mod Catalogue goes to a list of porn sites. Edit - The link to Patrick's CMBB Page says "access forbidden". Edit - The Scenario Depot link is dead. [ October 17, 2005, 11:21 AM: Message edited by: Elmo ]

I found version 1.11 here: http://www.cmmc2.org/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=814

Just send me CMC and I'll write up 2 AAR's for you.

Never mind. Looks like the "tactical reserve" concept is the answer to my question.

Sounds like a "must have" for me. Question: Can units on the operational map that are adjacent to a CMBB battle possibly enter as reinforcements?

Modern warfare is not my cup of tea. Looking forward to the CMx2 WWII game though.

<yawn>

I'm in although I won't be taking to the skies for a whhile.

Hey Dan, if you spent a little less time playing around with Harv and a little more time working on the game we'd all be playing it by now!

OK, thanks for the quick replies. Don't play much online so here's hoping for a tough AI!

Sorry if this has been covered but will there be any PBEM capability?

Elmo, not to worry, the current batch of screenshots are still a work in progress, so expect some changes before the final product. Enemy units now face off against each other... well at least on my computer they do [/QB]</font>

There you go again Rob, with your "reactionary" "anti-change" attitude. Stop being part of the "highly vocal minority" and get with the SC2 program. Resistance is futile... Edit - quotes added. [ April 21, 2004, 09:12 AM: Message edited by: Elmo ]
