If you really want your targets to stay still, place them on a piece of open ground in the 3D editor. Then return to the 2D, top-down map editor and place a water tile where your target/soldiers are.
They'll be forced to stand there, knee-deep in water, unable to move, and sponge up the punishment you dish out.
Place your firing units in thick woods, w/ foxholes, behind a wall to minimize reciprocal damage.

It's not corrupted but it is, unfortunately, irretrievable.
This occurs when your scenario is saved in your Cmbo/Saved games folder (which the editor defaults to). If you play the scenario and save it under the the scenario's name (which the savegame feature defaults to), it overwrites the original scenario .cmb with a savegame .cmb
Your scenario is a scenario no more. Now it is merely a savegame.
The only way to avoid this is to save your scenarios to the Cmbo/Scenarios folder instead of the Cmbo/Saved games folder.
It's heartbreaking, isn't it?

Londoner,
And here I had thought everyone forgot about crafty ol' Otto and the dapper Sterling.
Funny you should mention the commando op's. I'm working on one right now called "Fertile Fields". It has a strict timetable for success and requires nightmarish coordinated actions and timing. Big fun!
If you haven't played Pointe du Hoc yet, give it a whirl for some commando fun as well. You can find it at Manx's CM's in the Clubfoot SSM pack.

Willie,
I'll be including all those halftracks and more in a CMMOS halftrack set.
-
I've sent these links to Manx, but until they're available at CM's, I'll keep them alive here.
Both of these tank-packs require Gordon Molek's CM Mod Option Selector (CMMOS) to function.
For the time being, they occupy in-house RuleSet #'s 850 and 851. If and when an official ruleset # is assigned to either or both, I'll update the files appropriately.
Enjoy!

Look up at the top of the thread for a link to the Panzer IV's mod.
Enjoy.
-
-
Absolutely.
-
Thanks fellas,
Hey Manx, maybe when this gets uploaded I could hit you up for a couple of links at CM's for both the Panzer IV's and Panthers. They could be available from your site without consuming any of your HD space. Let me know.
-
Pascal,
The "Fernando_Tricolor_camo" link is invalid.
-
Here's a link to the Panzer MkIV set. It's 14meg in size. I'll send the RuleSet sans bitmaps to those that have requested it tomorrow.

These should be organized all over. What a great opportunity for both fellowship and chest-thumping. I'd do this in the K.C. area but I'm not sure how many of the enlightened dwell in these parts.
-
Charl,
It should be hitting your in-box now.
-
I'll second lcm's approval. CM's is looking just smashing. Thanx Manx!
-
Winecape,
I'll e-mail you the RuleSet today. It's only around 200k. From that you can discern the file extensions used.
Anyone else who would like the RuleSet but doesn't want to suffer through a 33meg download, reply here and I'll e-mail you the RuleSet sans bitmaps.
*IMPORTANT*
This is not an "official" CMMOS RuleSet, and the file extensions are somewhat messy. The ruleset #, 850, is a house rules # and may present overwrite problems if you've got your own in-house mod installed to this #.
In the future, when official versions of some the mods included appear (ie: Fernando Panthers by Fernando, Gordon Panthers by Gordon), I'll come back and make this RuleSet backwards compatible to utilize the proper file extensions.
Thanks for all the feedback, fellas!

After some good critical analysis from Pascal, I've taken his suggestions to heart and altered the functionality of the CMMOS Panthers RuleSet. V1.01 looks like this:
Hi-vis buttons replace the older ones to aid in variant I.D.
"combo" buttons have been added to allow the installation of all variants of a particular scheme. These buttons have been added for:
Fernando's: Lehr tri-color A, G, G(late)
Mono A, G, G(late)
Tri-color G, G(late)
Ambush G, G(late)
Gordon's Winterized A, G, G(late)
Maximus' Winterized A, G, G(late)
Fernando's & Gordon's schemes support:
4-8 turret number variations
10th Pz. divisionals
16th Pz. divisionals
21st Pz. divisionals
PanzerLehr divisionals
Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler divisionals.
Alternate roadwheels. (for some schemes)
As soon as Pascal has these updates, I'll add a link here.

Alright Pascal. I'll ship it out in the next few days and hit Manx up for a link.

Well this is pretty huge (33 meg) so I doubt anyone is going to want to host it. But it is a good demonstration of what CMMOS will do for vehicle specific rulesets.
It contains all the Panthers I had cluttering up my HD and includes the work of Fernando, Gordon, Tiger, Maximus, Makjager, Malfunkt, Audace&Pawbroon, & more.
Some of these Panther variants have 40 or more options! From alternate roadwheels to widely varying divisional markings to a plethora of turret numbers in many colors and styles... and the combinations thereof.
Thanks again Gordon. Life is easier.

It's up at Manx's CMs now. Let me know how you like it.
Recon images for 'Fertile Fields' commando action.
in Combat Mission Archive #4 (2002)
Posted
Just finished and sent the new scenario, Fertile Fields, off to my trusty playtesters. It's a fictional rear-area infiltration with British glider troops aided by behind the lines Polish resistance. This scenario is intended for play as the Allies vs. the Axis AI only.
It comes packed w/ some maps and recon images to help the Allied player with some vital intel. The Allied briefing is quite long (9 pages) but includes the type of detailed information present in the planning of a covert operation. This includes a mission overview, background info., a breakdown of all seperate assault elements, and a timetable for coordination of the seperate assault elements.
Here's a small look at some of the recon images and following that, the initial overall breifing.
Title: Fertile Fields.
Size: Large.
Type: Rear area commando insurgency.
Date: April 45.
Location: The entirely FICTIONAL Vlcek Dam facility.
Weather: Heavy rain.
Ground condition: Sloppy.
Length: 60 turns.
This scenario is intended for single player play w/ the AI as the AXIS defender.
The war is over and the Germans know it. Having pushed deeper into the Fatherland, the Allied powers are eating up untold kilometers on multiple fronts daily. The once proud armies of the Reich are shattered and falling back at every turn. Bolstered by a mind-boggling wealth of men and materials, the imminent victors turn their thoughts from fighting the Axis to fighting one another for real estate.
The Soviets, having stated bluntly their intention to occupy every inch of land they advance over, are as good as their word. Day by day, mile by mile, the Russians gobble up formerly sovereign nations that they have no intention of ever relinquishing.
For their part, the western Allies push eastward at a furious pace. Their intention not to occupy, but deprive the Soviets of occupation. Even before one enemy has fallen, another is born.
Although the West won't risk openly sparring with the Soviets in the current political atmosphere, a number of very dicey covert operations have been green-lighted to lessen the eventual Soviet "take". These actions will facilitate the following dictums:
1. Recovery of any facilities, war materials, or any other resources (natural or fabricated) that may strengthen or serve any eventual Soviet occupational/settlement element.
2. Destruction of said facilities, war materials, or any other resources (natural or fabricated) when recovery thereof is operationally or tactically implausible.
3. Recovery of documents, research, samples/specimens (re.pp211-214; XXXMedcorps Br.404: ID/Handling agents:atomic/air-born gas/nerve/biological) or any other intelligence resources (including HumInt) that may strengthen or serve any eventual Soviet occupational/settlement element.
4. Destruction of said documents, research, samples/specimens (re.pp214-248; XXXMedcorps Br.404: ID/Destroy agents:atomic/air-born gas/nerve/biological) or any other intelligence resources (including HumInt) when recovery thereof is operationally or tactically implausible.
5. Aggressive detainment and subsequent recruitment of Axis HumInt resources including but not limited to Abwehr and SonderKommandos.
6. Aggressive neutralization of said Axis HumInt resources should detainment or subsequent recruitment prove impossible.
Under the guiding hand of a joint MI5-OSS commission, all the missions will run concurrently and all enjoy the MI5 kiss-of-death brand: "MOST EXTREMELY SECRET". Most of these operations have been dug up out of the "way too risky" trash can.
Your mission is a smash and grab occupation at the Vlcek Dam Research Facility. The code name for the action is "Fertile Fields". Enjoy the Sudetenland, sir.
If you're interested in playtesting this prior to release, let me know!
