I can save the French Armies and Air Force by moving them to Britain before France falls, so how come I can't move the French Naval Vessels to another Allied Port and have them become Free French also? Next time I'll just disband them and build some troops or something... Ok, I know this is all very gamey, and I just finished reading the many excellent posts on the defense of France, but it just seemed like a logical thing to try. My first game was with a friend last night...we played 8 straight hours and finally had to call it quits at 5:00 AM [ January 10, 2004, 10:21 PM: Message edited by: Brucedl ]

Yes....another addition to 1.07 was the addition of the Suez transfer, so the arrows don't appear on the map. I copied and pasted the arrows into the hex_sprites.bmp and it appears to work.

I just received the game. I installed the CD first, then copied the mod files into the bitmaps folder, then I installed the 1.07 patch. It appears to be running just fine this way. I did make a copy of the bitmap folder before copying the mods over to be safe.

Just received the game in the mail...I installed the game (1.06 CD) then the interface mod, then the patch. Everything seems to be working this way. However, I also tried running the mod without the main_menu_buttons.bmp, and it looks like doing the patch last does overwrite some other bmp's, like the textured land masses.

Then maybe all your efforts would amount to something worthwhile.

What can I say...I've been playing CM for 7 days straight and haven't had the time to read the thoughts of 10,000 other rocket scientists like myself.

How would this be for cool...after you've finished a PBM game (or even a game vs. the computer even), to have the ability to replay the entire battle straight through like a movie, rather than just one minute at a time? Just a thought...

MadMatt, we all appreciate the fact that you don't censor this forum. And while none of the people here are the type that would be prone to cheating, I'd say that given the choice, I would have been glad to keep my reporting of this bug private between myself and Big Time developers who could make it impossible for me to open the opposing force's PBM file without a password.

Agreed...this is pretty ugly. I can open any file with no password and see the way things look. Definitely, delete the thread!

Overwhelming! PBM, tournaments, vs. Computer...scenarios, mods...HELP!

I create a PBM file to send to my opponent. Then, I attempt to open the file myself. At the password screen, I leave it blank and press "Ok." Now, I'm in the game and looking at my opponents setup. If so, it makes it pretty easy to cheat-not that anyone would ever do such a thing!

Now that is what I call a rapid response! How do I become a "Full" member? I seem to have this "Junior" status. [This message has been edited by Brucedl (edited 10-25-2000).]

Where does one go to arrange PBM games? My CM is here, and I'm looking to rumble! Bruce

Very cool...and thanks for the welcome.

Hello, 1. Is there a patch yet to play Combat Mission over the net? 2. Can a Mac owner play against a PC owner? thanks!
