CM2 will be out by Christmas I keep saying but I actually don't have a clue it's more of a hoping thing. As far as the mods yeah they looked good but I am dying to see what the mod guys are going to do to them. Look at the difference they've made to this game. Unbelieveably! :eek:

It just keeps getting better. Thank you for the heads up SuperTed.

Hey thanks. Looking forward to them.

Damn I like them both but you asked which we liked best so I'll go with the first one with sand bags. It's different and I bet they used sand bags. But now to make your life a little tougher how about grass around the sides in the first picture. But even if not grass I'd pick #1. Did I mention - nice job and thank you? Well, thank you then.

Oh I forgot - good show PDF!!!

So we don't need Gordon and Fernando after all. So there! Well, wait a minute. Don't they do mods? OK never mind.

Pascal DI Folco. I don't have any certain scenario's I just let the computer generate the map but I do prefer having large hills and heavy trees. I will also make roads so it's easier for the enemy to move around. As far as FTC rules I don't follow them 100% but do to some degree but afraid I must admit I resort to using my eyes in the sky planes once the fighting starts.

Michael emrys I have done it at night but mostly days as I find it a little difficult to see my unit at night. Old age maybe - no couldn't be that. I have however tried it in both light and heavy fog and it's really cool that way too. It feels so lonely and cold while you move along waiting for the unexpected to happen but hoping you'll get your men through ok. I really enjoy it. Anyway hope you enjoy it. Sorry Bad Dog I don't know what VLs means so can't answer you but as far as computer pick I pick my own and actually pick for the computer too but I suppose letting the computer pick it's own would be ok. WoW! CMplayer that sounds like great fun too. I never thought of doing that but I will try it tonight. It sounds really neat. Cool idea. The more I think about this the more idea's I'm coming up with. Maybe using green troops alone ( no vehicles ) to sneak up for the recon would be neat. Anyway it sounds interesting. Anybody else have any ideas along these lines?

They don't need to be improved since they get knocked out very fast and they all look alike when burning. No actually I agree while nice they just don't match up to the more recent mods and sure could use an update. Hopefully someone could do this before CM2 comes out. Good suggestion.

My personal and unconfirmed opinion is by Christmas. Hope I'm right. I've saved my $50.00 and it's burning a hole in my pocket.

May I ask what the above picture has to do with French uniforms? But my main question is where can I get that Stug? It is excellent!!!!!!!!!!!

This may not interest most or for that matter anybody but I thought I would share an idea that I think I came up with but somebody else could have done it also but I've never heard any one mention it before. Anyway, I was kind of getting tired of the same old battles so thought I'd try sometime different for a change and came up with the following. I will let the computer select the map but will dictate light snow as a requirement. I will then create a small group which will include a platoon of troops, one bazooka team, a machine gun or two, a half track and two tanks. I will then have the allow the AI to have a company of troops, several guns, several tanks and various half tracks or other mobile vehicles and place them wherever it chooses. I will then start the game with the intent of getting my outfit across the board and exit. To me this is a very exciting game and I do it very often as it is so exciting to try to avoid the enemy and get my poor small group to safety. Sometimes I make it sometimes I don't. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it in case someone else might not have thought of it. I guess I choose winter time as it seems lonely and fitting and it sets the mood. So like JasonC says - just for what it's worth.

God I hope Madmatt doesn't mean that the tanks will roll over or some goofy thing like that when actually knocked out. That would look silly.

Yeah that does seem very strange. I've played AI hundreds of times and while it is slow to get it's troops going sometimes ( probably aware of how good I am ) it does at least try to take the objective. I'll be interested to see what the pros have to say also - if they're not too drunk and pasted out that is.

Oh boy more mods. I love that Tiger!!!!! thanks ever so much.

Well welcome to the board. You only think you're excited about the game now. Once you get it and realize how great it is you're going to be happy you didn't know cause you'd be busting with anticipation right now and probably die. Well, maybe not die but at least be all weird until it came. Anyway, hope you enjoy it and again welcome to this exceptional board and bunch of guys.

Just went and got them. Thank you Manx I needed that.

Ok my wait is over for these extremely nice mods. Outstanding job by the way!

Well don't grab too many you might pass out then where would will be - clueless. Thanks SuperTed.

Well let's see this howling is all about. Thank you for a second time today SuperTed. Keeping you busy today aren't they?

Thanks Ted as always.

Interesting. I recently had a tank shoot at a tank that was moving behind a house and it flatten the house and I mean flatten it completely and then knocked out the tank almost at the exact second. It was one of the coolest things I'd very seen in this game and I replayed it several times just to watch it.

Very nice and I would sure like them. Hopefully Manx will post them soon. Thanks Mike8g. That Hellcat is great looking!

I wasn't the orginal poster of this subject but I really enjoyed and found very useful your comments CMplayer. Good instructions in good old plain english. Thanks for the tips. I really liked and will start using the reserve unit idea. I see that as a good sound idea and had I thought of that myself I would be better then 60/40 with the AI after 12 months of playing

Hey that is a great looking mod. The detail is fantastic and you got the coloring just right. Extremely nice looking mod. Now I normally don't play British because they are stuffy and nose up in the air ( Just kidding ) but I do on occasion in scenario's and your mod would make them that much more enjoyable - by a lot!
