IT COMPLETELY WIPED OUT MY CMBB SCENARIO FOLDER. GO TO HIS WEBSITE TO SEE MY POSTING. I AM VERY UNIMPRESSED! :mad:

Soybeanz, I am not a novice but I would be happy to play a game with you. E-mail me here: spayor@midcoast.com

Kingfish, I thank you. That was just what I was looking for. Great website! Would you like to play a CMBO PBEM game?

I have a wonderful map of the Lorient submarine base by "The Graeme" which you can download from The Scenario Depot. Is there anyone who can tell me which specific German units served in Lorient under Gen. Farmbacher during the 1944-1945 siege? I can't find a thing! :confused:

Hello DK, Well it does help to a point. Switching to BFC is not really a good option. My US '44 and '45 uniforms and the US flags are themselves mods which are not CMMOS. I now use the McMMM to re-install them whenever they are altered. So far so good. To which info files do you refer? Is there among your 24 mod files a single file which has info that addresses this issue? Also, what do you mean by "try-to-imagine-this-is-a-Grant CDL?" Again, I thank and congratulate you on your brilliant work! Steve

Whenever I use DK's 21st AG, my Americans become dressed in some kind of Commonwealth uniform. Also, bmp 421 is changed to either a British or a Canadian flag! DK, your 21st AG mod is magnificent. How can this problem be fixed? :eek:

Hello, Chris I would be happy to play CMBO with you. Send me an e-mail! You can also go to this site: http://www.garykrockover.com/cmbb/index.html Click on "opponents" to submit a profile. Hope to shoot at you soon!

DK, Roger willco! I'll let you know. Steve [ May 15, 2004, 12:22 AM: Message edited by: spayor ]

DK, I have removed the AndrewTF Uniforms ruleset. I see what you are talking about, you have them in your "BASEAFUNIFORMS" ruleset. They are working just fine. However, here is the anomoly whereof I speak: When I click on your "Andrew Fox Commonwealth Uniforms BMPs (Battledress)," I get four options, one of which is "Canadian Battledress (blanco)." When I choose this option the BMPs change as I described above. 5011 is good...5013 and 5014 not so much. I am pretty good at renaming BMPs to make things work. I have done it many times before in the pre-CMMOS/MCMMM days. Is this a possible solution? I am standing by for orders... Steve P.S. Your Essex Scottish look great in 21st AG.

Does anyone still have the original CMBO Beta (not Gold) Demo with "Last Defense" and "Riesberg" (ca 1999) still kicking around somewhere? I ask because I lost mine and would like to get those original leader names (for example, the SS company commader in "Last Defense" was Hsf Falk and one of the Sherman tank commanders in "Riesberg" was Sgt Alban). I ask for not only nostalgic reasons but also I would like to use them in new scenarios and keep track of their progress a la the old SL point system! Steve

DK and AndrewTF, I am a convert! For years now I've been using the Commonwealth uniforms and formation patches that I downloaded (at great length) from the TOMMY sight. I do not know who the modder was but his uniforms were VERY GOOD. The only real drawback was that the full range of formation patches (also very good) were never completed. It was also quite cumbersome to switch from one formation to another (had to copy and rename the 5012.bmp). Now that I have finally downloaded all 24 of your 21st AG mods and the AndrewTF uniform mod (the latter also available on the TOMMY site) I am quite impressed with the ease and, most importantly, the apparent COMPLETENESS of this work. I switched my Commonwealth forces from the Essex Scottish supported by tanks of the 2nd Cdn Armd Bde to the 2nd Bn Royal Ulster Rifles (blanco) supported by tanks of the 1st East Riding Yeomanry (to play "First Clash At Cambes" - a CMBO original) in just moments! I haven't checked out EVERY option, so I will ask DK...are they really ALL there? Also, an observation for DK or Andrew: there is an option for a Canadian battledress with blanco webgear, but only 5011.bmp changes. 5013 and 5014 remain regular. Is the option erroneous (only the British used blanco)? Let me know at your convenience and, again, well done lads! [ May 13, 2004, 11:41 PM: Message edited by: spayor ]

I would be more than happy to play an e-mail (PBEM) game with you. I'm afraid I do not have any idea what your problem might be. Have you tried "zipping" your game turn before sending it? That often works best for me because I still have a dial-up connection. At any rate, feel free to send me a game turn by e-mail and let's see what happens!

All right, all right! Enough about turrets already! Michael, don't call me luv, son. Have any of you noticed what I'm talking about, provided any of you can find the turret-not-superstructure on the M-10-Wolverine-with-a-17lbr-called-Achilles-not-Archer? [ May 13, 2004, 07:42 PM: Message edited by: spayor ]

Now maybe I introduce this topic a bit late, in light of the fact that CMBB and, especially, CMAK seem to be now dominating everyone's thoughts. Nonetheless, has anyone ever noticed a glitch in the Achilles' front lower turret, which is the color of the turret interior but has NO EXTERIOR texture? I went back to the original BTS graphics and there it is! I suppose there's nothing that can be done about it? Thoughts anyone?

PLEASE DISREGARD THIS POST DK, YOU ARE TOTALLY VINDICATED, EH! MORE TO FOLLOW [ May 11, 2004, 12:32 AM: Message edited by: spayor ]

DK, A Canadian! That's richt bonnie! My ancestors came from Scotland to P.E.I. because they were pretty much fed up with the way the British were recreating Scotland. That's why, when playing the Canadians, I tend to make them Canadian Scots such as Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders of Canada or the Highland Light Infantry of Canada, to name but a few. Do you have a favorite Regiment from your native land? Steve

DK, "Jawohl und Horrido (not a British expression)!" I found that I had downloaded but NOT installed the "BRITISHARMOUREDDIVS.ZIP" mod because I am not using A. Fox's British uniform mod. Instead, I am using the British "Northwest Europe" uniform mods available on the "TOMMY" website. They are excellent. So are A. Fox's mods for all nationalities to be sure. I am using MANY of his other uniform mods for BO, BB and AK! He is truly gifted. But I digress. Whether one is using A. Fox's mods or not, it is necessary to install the aforementioned "BRITISHARMOUREDDIVS.ZIP" to make DK's armour mods load properly. One more thing for everyone to remember: Not all British vehicles will show the insignia for EVERY British armoured division simply because not every British vehicle was ISSUED to every British armoured division! Have I gotten that right, DK? Thanks again for your worK! Steve

DK, "Hang on a tick (another British expression)," I posted my additional info just as you responded to it. I then tried to delete it as obsolete based on your response. I will check to see what other mods I need to download from the CM Mod Database. You make a very good point that this may be the problem. I'll let you know! Thanks again for your excellent and obviously exhaustive work! Steve

DK, The problem seems to be mostly with the Guards Armoured Division. I am not choosing multiple options. Here're a couple of questions: 1) My version 4.05a was upgraded OVER my 4.03. So I still have the mods for the Commonwealth Vehicles (Bergmann I think) installed with the placeholders for the 11th Armoured, 4th Armd Bde, Guards, etc., if you know what I mean. Is there a possibility that they are interfering with your overlays? 2) What purpose does the Guards Armd Div placeholder serve in "Commonwealth Vehicles?" It doesn't seem to do anything. Perhaps this is related to question 1?

DK, Thanks for looking into it. I am a Scot by ancestry (MacEanruig) and very much appreciate the attention to detail that your 21st AG features. Steve

I have successfully installed DK 21st Army Group into my newly installed CMMOS 4.05a (which is an upgrade to my CMMOS 4.03). When I try to install the specific individual Guards Armoured Division battalions (for example, the 1st Coldstream Guards Right Flank Squadron) everything seems to install smoothly until it hits the overlays, then it just hangs up and doesn't finish. Any thoughts from anyone? :confused:

MikeT Success! Thanks for your patient help! Steve

I live in Warren, Maine.

Thanks MikeT, I did as you suggested. I removed the PzBde 150 Mod and found and deleted the RuleSet400 Folder. I re-booted and re-installed the Mod. My installed mod list shows it that it is there but I cannot find the Skorzeny placeholder to activate the mod. I think this would be because the rule sets are not properly installed, no? I'm open to suggestions! [ May 03, 2004, 08:19 PM: Message edited by: spayor ]
