they locked it because if you read the FQA thread you wouldnt be asking (not so smart) stupid questions like that.. Read alittle then start posting. Im betting most of your 'questions' are already asked and answered... Blades DOH forgot to say Hi MOM!! hehe always wanted to say that but never have [ 11-30-2001: Message edited by: Blades ]</p>

Mesk your a fine fine man. Keep up the good work. The world needs more honest people in it like yourself.. Blades

Umm I wasnt calling for things to be changed. I just wanted to know how they worked. And if it was worth spending the money to buy say and EZ 8 sherman over say 2 TD for the same price for going up against the German big cats. I did try to do a search before asking this question but its down. :confused: Thanks for all the imput this does help some Blades

hmm Ok so are almost all of the German tanks more accurate? I mean even the 76mm is slower then the German counter parts by alot.. Or does the increase in velocity have a limit to helping accuracy? Or does anyone know Blades

Ok Im sure this has been talked about before but I cant find it with the search down and all. Are some tanks more accurate than others. I know there are many factors that go into a shots accuracy but it gets old getting the first 2-3 shots off at a german tank only to have it SLOWLY turn and fire 1 shot and kill me. Now Im not saying that Im hitting it and its bouncing off. But Im missing 2-3 times with no other fire on my tank. Usually with my TC out and not button up. Ok so what tank guns are more accurate than others. Is there scientific proof (ie. was it like this in real life or is this just a hunch your going on)? I thought i read one time that a particualar sherman had better optics and that made it deadly but dont know this to be true. Memory doesnt serve like it should Thanks for any and all usefull imput. Blades

Was checking my PBEM files when everything started to shake. I live in Hillsboro a burb of Portland. Was sorta freaky never been in a quake. THE GROUND IS NOT SUPPOSED TO MOVE!!!!! I dont know how you cali boys can stand it . My 5 year old daughter thought I was jumping rope behind her. LOL the beauty of inocents.

40ish i hope ..

Bob, I take it your sorta new. So am I so its all good. Ok for ME(just speaking for what happened for me now) When the 1st battle of the operation was completed. I got reinforcements. Not a ton but some... And when I got those reinforcement there was a "setup" stage of the game. Just like I had to start the whole operation. I placed my troops in different spot on the map instead of leaving them where the game put them at the very back part of the map. I assume they were put in the back part of the map to simulate them arriving to the front from the rear. you know sorta like they would in real life.. (maybe im wronge). But I hope you saved your game when the first battle was completed and did not write over it. I would suggest doing this at the end of every battle. The save games dont take up alot of room and can easily be erased when you feel you have no more need of them. This is what I do just in case I write over the wronge saved game with something I did not mean to. Sorta like a back up. Blades

Bob, Wes, I am still playing this operation as the US. Have not played as the Germans yet. When the 2nd battle started my reinforcments were at the back of the map, as far away as possible. But, during the set up for that battle i was able to move them to the front of the line before the battle started. Same thing in 3rd battle. Havent gotten past that cause the guy Im playing has been out of town alot lately. In his second battle he got 0 reinforcements. He had to fight with what he had left from the first battle, so things must be going differntly for us for some reason. I do agree that our set up lines should not be, basically right on top of eachother. I had units start the game in the middle of his front line. Was good for recon but bad to loose those units, and was sorta gamey if you wanna look at it like that. There should be a "buffer" zone. Maybe the town should be more centered on the map so the Gery has more rooom to set up... Maybe, there is a reason for it like that and we just havent found out yet.. My advice to both you, if you can, start from a saved game (hope you saved at end of 1st battle) and set up your army where you want to from the set up screen... Blades

That was a senerio not a operation. Those are found UNDER the senerio tab in the selecting a campaign deal.. The game comes with like 5 or 6 i think but there are a few VERY nice ones at differnt sites that players put together. Hope this helps some Blades

OMG cant believe how many people play SFC & SFC2 and play CM too. As some have said, if you think CM has some problem with what target your tank chooses to fire at or whatever the complant may be.. LOL Go buy a Interplay/Taldren game. LOL then you'll know how good you have it here with BTS. They respond quickly. Dont attack you for asking questions or making comments. This game and this game alone is what has me believing in the smaller game developers.. Blades [This message has been edited by Blades (edited 01-27-2001).]

Franko, Sorry man.. Like we seriuosly read the discription a few times talking back and forth trying to figure out what exactly we were supposed to do.. He didnt know if he was supposed to move off map or what. Sorry again. like i said in first post we are both fairly new to CM and obviuosly missed the important information in the discription. LOL Well again great job on the operation. still seems to be going ok for me as US.. Blades

Franko, So far the operation is great.. Me and a bud are playing it and are on the 4th battle.. The second battle I thought the Germans should've gotten alittle reinforcements but its cool.. Also in the write up I sorta wish you would've used the correct town names and discribed what kind of operation this is, like a distroy, advance, whatever it might be. We are both relitivly new to CM so maybe all operations are done this way. If so then do not pay attention to what i said ... Other than that, we love it.. I will recomend it to all my friends.. GREAT JOB... BTW Im playing on the US side of things and I seem to be holding the town ok SO FAR.. Blades

I have done a search and have not come up with what im looking for. I have also read MOST of the manual that came with the game. Does anyone know how to take in game screen shots?? And if you do where do you find them once taken (what folder)? Thanks Blades
