Yep, that's Close Combat. Setup all your troops on the front edge of the deployment, hit go, choose targets, win in a landslide. No setting up in contact for me either, please.

Looks like his last forum activity was 6-29-13, so it will be interesting to see if he responds.

Thanks for the early present, Mord!

This. Tankers getting hit with anything makes 'em pucker up, and that's the way it should be.

We may finally find out about that with snow suited infantry in the Bulge.

It's never too late to improve the process. Great idea.

It doesn't matter if your units are modded to a bright pink Hello Kitty scheme (you can find THAT here) it won't affect anything in game. In fact, here it is.

Nevermind, it's fixed.

Listening to him sing during one of the reflective moments of BoB was right up there with my favorite parts. o7

Most welcome, Sir.

If a scenario is made in 2.12 you won't be able to play it in 2.10. They are always forward compatible, but not backwards.

True and I didn't think about that, but I have them so well ingrained in my fingertips that it literally took about 15 seconds to redo them to my personal version.

+1 to this one too. Scenario and Campaign makers give us hours of enjoyment. We appreciate all the community contributors.

Interesting that the BN patch overwrote my commands and I had to redo them in options, but the FI patch did not.

CMx1 was the best game ever, bar none...until CMx2.

Holy cow. Most excellent, Sir!

Rofl? I've followed IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad and I'm aware they're using the Digital Nature engine, but that doesn't mean it's being redone from scratch. I like RoF and 777 studios does nice work but this is still in partnership with 1C and even the webpage says its a continuation in the first sentence. So we'll see what gets released. If it's revolutionary instead of evolutionary, you can rofl to your hearts desire. But don't bet the house on that...

+1. There are soooooo many who contribute and deserve our gratitude.

But therein lies the problem for flight sims. IL2 was the closest thing to CM for that genre, but they never made it to CMx2. The "new" IL2 is STILL a rehashed version of the same game that was great for the first few years, but never solved many of the things that would have improved it greatly. It's going to have the same high altitude problems, and on and on, et al. I, for one, am glad CM didn't follow the same path.

They weren't hitting targets behind enemy lines, they were hitting the front lines to enable a penetration. I think that meets the definition of CAS and isn't ridiculous in the least.

If you have anything odd going on, remove the z folder, start the game, click on something (don't actually have to play any turns), and shut down. Move the z folder back in and all *should* be well.

Most of them will. Some like Vinnart's animated text, need the updated version. However, before you install MG, remove your z folder. After install put it back. Can cause problems if you forget to do this for any patch.

Grats to everyone who's had the good fortune to ride the CM train all these years. As was said earlier in the thread, imagine how cool it will be in another 14 years when you'll plug directly into the cerebral cortex and experience it first hand, with real world graphics.

Aircraft K kills on heavy AFV's were rare, but they certainly caused M kills and abandonments.

I do miss the fist's of fury sounds from CMx1.
