Madmatt, do you have DD's Bocage/hedge batch, it wasn't in his total terrain pack and I can't find it. Also did you have a Bunker mod in the untested area that has disappeared??

Get Panzertruppens buildings and DD's terrain mods(all of them). With these on your HD, CM almost looks alive. P.S. I'm looking for Tigers (I think) Pillbox mod and DD's Bocage Mod, anyone know where I can find them?? Thanks in advance.

Surely the best way to work out frontlines would be to base them on the positions of where troops were last fighting. For instance, if side A pushed deep into side B's defences in the centre, the following battle would show a large salient in the middle. Thearea of no-mans land here would be quite small because of the close proximity of each sides troops at the end of the battle. If the flanks were open fields and not much activity had occurred there, then no-mans land should be much wider. This way pockets could also develop where an attacker has simply bypassed the defender. The current system is too rigid, and creates an urealistic frontline, Ive had strongpoints bypassed simply because one enemy squad has penetrated a few meters deeper elsewhere on the battlefield and Ive been forced to retreat and defend in much weaker terrain when it would have been more prudent to hold onto the village, bridge, road etc.

How can I get hold of it?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Bruno Weiss: I resemble that remark, I'm an active crackpot. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I think the word is 'resent' not 'resemble'

Firstly CM does not deal solely with front line engagements. Secondly partisans on the ETO often engaged well trained and well equipped enemy troops and were very successful generally, their success derived from their stealth, surprise and determination rather than their ability to match the Axis' firepower. Thirdly the lack of supplies forced many partisans to attack German units,particularly in winter, as a source of supplies. There success was compounded by the failure of German troops to deal with the severity of the Russian winter. Overall, partisans had a profound influence on the course of the war. CM2 without partisans would be CM2 without the T-34.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Xavier: CM2 without Partisans!!! It sounds like CM1 without US troops to me ! You can simulate great Partisans/Resistance scenarii with CM... I'm actally testing in pbem "Plan Montagnard" a scenario about the combat in the Vercors mountains in France and it's really a different approach of tactical warfare! On the East Front there were huge partisans units. You can't ignore them!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> True, on the Eastern Front, partisan units of up to many thousands would attack German units then melt away into the Soviet interior. It was a very harsh war for partisans in occupied SU, high casualties, execution if captured and abject poverty coupled with Stalin's callousness to his own countrymen.

I was beginning to wonder if winterised mods were being left behind, superb work Gordon, fancy doing the Chaffee or Pershing winterised next?.

Somebody please tell me, Im running a VOodoo 3500, should I upgrade to a GeForce2MX or whatever ATI equivelent or should I hold out 6 months for a much better card. ALl my Hi Res mods are really slowing CM down. Please... HELP ME!!!!!!!! ARRGGGHHHH I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!!!

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Horncastle: I thought the Tiger wasnt primarily an inf or close support tank so shouldnt be too effective at close range surrounded by teeming inf and tanks. I think this is more an accurate model of a Tiger than a bug. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> The Tiger was an inf or close support tank???? The Tiger was designed to compete with the T--34's and KV's in Russia and later the Russian TD's and Stalin I and II's. It is massively armoured especially when it entered service, and possessed one of the most capable anti tank guns of the war. What made you think it was primarily a inf support tank? An Inf support tank generally has less armour and a larger caliber though lower velocitied gun e.g. StuH42, Sherman 105, Churchill AVRE. Cleared the situation?

If your HD is damaged then that could cause the problem, any crashes occurring?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Silver Stars: my big problem with collapsing buildings is the fact that it invariably leads to people shelling entire towns into rubble for no reason. I don't know how realistic this is, but i don't think a platoon of sherman 75s would expend a healthy chunk of thier HE ammo on merely reducing an entire town or village into rubble... <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> If I was a Sherman platoon commander, had plenty of HE and knew the enemy to be occupying the town ahead, I would destroy every defensible building possible (at least the closest buildings).

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by dima: nVidia WILL NOT provide suport to Voodoo cards. Right now they are doing everything to stop sales of these cards. I am sure you heard they asked big online retailers like BestBuy to remove V3 and V5 from their stores. If you play only CM, sure existing drivers will make it work, but no one guarantees that CM2 will work on it. And if you buy new games in the near future - a lot of them won't work properly on V3/V5. Right now GeForce 2 GTS is going down in price. And unless you have 1+Ghz CPU - still you can't fully appreciate its potentials.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I have a Voodoo 3500TV and need to upgrade. Will the performance increase justify getting a GeForce2MX or should I hold out for one of the bigger boys. If a GEForce2MX is the answer, which one?

Any chance of a winter Pershing and Chaffee mod too. Hang on I'm not even sure if Chaffee's were available by winter '44. If they were can you do a mod Tiger... Please?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by wwb_99: Voodoo (and all other 3dfx) cards have one major problem: 3dfx is now defunct.

Updated is the wrong word, but the AK47 was based entirely around the design of the MP44. Without the MP44 there would have been no AK47.
