    I haven't come across man overview maps of the fighting, but the Russian telegrammer Rybar offers these:

    Also, I think you might enjoy to set up your favorite little default formation and name that scenario whatever DEFAULT UNIT.
    THEN in your new scenarios, you can import that same formation.
    It says it is for campaigns but it works for single scenarios as well.

    BFC -> Slitherine -> Steam!
    Steam 🚫 Slitherine (Steam) 🚫 BFC!
    That's my understanding of how it works, a purchase via BFC gives you all three versions, a purchase via Slitherine also gives you Steam and a purchase on Steam only gives you the Steam version!
    And until we get a native Debian stable version of CM all other versions are inferior j/k

    Third party antivirus tends to increase the threat surface area of whatever system it's installed on, ironically making them even more vulnerable. Plus the third party antivirus will also have their own vulnerabilities.
    There are also no protections against zero-day exploits. The system needs to be actively supported in order to close them, which windows 7 will not be since it's been abandoned by Microsoft.

    The root cause is actually Google in this case.
    Steam is HTML based and renders to screen using the Chromium browser engine. Google is dropping Chromium support for Windows 7, so Valve is, too.
    Of course I would prefer that they switch to a different engine, but not much chance that is going to happen.

    Redwolf reacted to Schrullenhaft in Cm Black sea white flash problem. i have an nvidia rtx 3070   
    I'm not aware of Nvidia users having this particular problem. The 'white flash' problem is a bug in the AMD Radeon drivers that, I believe, has been fixed in some of the newer drivers.
    Is your computer a laptop ? If so, then there is a possibility that your Ryzen CPU also has a video core and THAT may be what you are running CMBS on. If this is the case, then I believe making a 'profile' within the Nvidia Control Panel for CMBS may make it run on the RTX 3070.
    If that doesn't work, then possibly following these instructions for Windows 10 may redirect the game to use the Nvidia GPU:

    CM uses a single core cpu, so while multi cores might be good for other games, high single core performance matters the most for CM. Find the processors you are looking at in the pre-built rigs in the list above and choose the one with the best performance.

    Make sure you understand that AMD graphics cards (GPUs) are bad for CM and other older games, but AMD CPUs are not.

    Redwolf reacted to Pelican Pal in Efficiency of artillery on AFV´s, and tanks in the war.   
    What we don't(?) have information on is exactly what kind of loss is being generated by artillery. Is it a irrecoverable loss or is it a vehicle that is beaten up and no one really wants to use it in combat right now? My suspicion is that its the latter. Vehicles that have been damaged in a variety of relatively minor ways that could operate in a fight but that the units wouldn't be excited to use.

    More broadly there has been a discounting of the impact artillery has on armor that the fighting in Ukraine has helped to reveal is a sort of bogus. They are fairly complex machines and chucking chunks of metal at a tank isn't good for them. Now tanks are obviously advantaged against artillery, but that has often turned into a "don't use artillery against tanks" which doesn't seem to hold water. Tanks are advantaged against artillery because they (1) cannot be pinned by artillery and (2) each artillery shell has fewer fragments of significant size to cause damage. So armor is able to maneuver away from/through artillery and this ability to avoid fire is key. Infantry and soft skinned vehicles cannot maneuver through artillery so if they are hit they become pinned and have to sustain the barrage. To get tanks to sustain the barrage you either need tanks that are static or the ability for the FO to adjust fire along the vehicles route of movement which is difficult (but apparently getting easier).

    Redwolf got a reaction from SlowMotion in Combat Mission has an official Discord channel!   
    1) only one side can see the end screen. The game is terminated one file too early.
    2) frequent hangs or other conditions from which a game cannot be resumed, the game is lost. This could be fixed by leaving the PBEM files on the user's disk (they are already there, just don't delete them when done with a turn).
    3) there was a phase where people using 1.03 were rejected from playing, PBEM++ saying they need 1.03. This was obviously a code update gone wrong server-side, then silently fixed. It should be communicated when the server side code gets updated, and it should be communicated when a problem is fixed.
    4) cases of server down or otherwise not answering for users. There obviously is no monitoring of server status done by Matrix.
    5) at least one case of a game disappearing before being finished. Also, the timeline when idle games are deleted is not communicated.
    Not a bug, but it is annoying that the Matrix password is neither remembered nor does it support copy and paste. This forces the users into trivial passwords, which then in turn apply to their entire Matrixgames account, including game serials.
