Hi , welcome to CMBB and this forum !! There are many, many topics allready posted about artillery , but i will try to answer a few of your answers : Qua A: In CMBB, you better not use FO's (Forward Observers) with no LOS (Line of Sight)on the target. I guess its realistic, because its hard to adjust the artillery just by listening to the impact sounds or observing the dust clouds. Get the FO's (thats why they called FORWARD observers) close to the target ! They are hard to spot as long as you have them in (scattered) trees. Que B: The fact your artillery seems to go for the squad in the field in stead of the forest is just bad luck i think. FO's concentrate fire on the targetted spot, but there is always a (smallish) off target range. Indeed, guns switch from area target to another unit when they think that unit is a higher threat. That can be VERY annoying (especially when you are firing smoke) but on the other hand it can safe virtual lifes when the gun spots closeby infantery or even a AFV (Armored Fighting Vehicle). Qua C: I dont understand the question completely, but prep artillery barrages are completed, even if the FO is dead/wounded. Normal barrages are stopped, seems to me normal when the (radio) communication suddenly stops. Monty

hmmm good topic I would like to have a better soundmod for the mortars yes , but ingame they can be quit effective. I use onboard mortars a LOT for knocking out guns and for suppressing inf. Best effect is to pinn down advancing infantery in the open or in scattered trees. Use multiple mortars ! (3 work ok) Use offcourse a hq unit for spotting. Combine this with one or two hmg's and you can hold a whole company. Do a counter-attack with your infantery and you can mop them up. Monty

No Treadhead, that cant be the problem. CMBB does not install ANY files into the register. To uninstall, just delete the CMBB folder. You can even install as many CMBB copies as you like in different folders. Goodluck ! Monty

I never used them vs Pillboxes, but there are verty effective vs AFV's I believe pillboxes are used like vehicles by the CM engine, so it should be effective too. Do a test

Is there a folder in your CMBB folder called "Scenarios" ?

You can see the command delay in seconds,this can be > 60 seconds when the (green?)squad is out of command ; question: do you see count down after you give the movement commands ? Monty

Hi Shank You should post this question in the Tech Support Forum, but lets see if we can help you here First, did CMBB run ok with the default 1.02 version ? Or did you install the 1.03 patch and tried to run it afterwards ? The CD is in the CD/DVD drive right ? If the default version did NOT run ok, you have a bad CD maybe, but ask FIRST in the Tech Support Forum. There are some very skilled persons overthere Monty

You are allowed to make 1 copy for backup purpose. I never use the original in my CD drive if possible. Recently my CD player broke down, the CD in it was shattered in 100 pieces !!! Guess which CD it was ? Yep, my CMBB copy. Monty

Ignore Depawel, im willing to believe you have a legal copy. The early copies of CMBB however had flows , did you buy the copy of somebody else via the Net ?? Try this: Check if in your CMBB folder a folder named "Scenarios" is. (Early copies of CMBB did not install all the files properly.) If the Scenario folder is missing , try first a re-install. Otherwise, you can ask somebody on this forum to mail you his Scenario's folder. Goodluck Monty [ July 19, 2003, 03:25 AM: Message edited by: Monty ]

Maybe the "wrong" German tanks were caputured Shermans, but the Germans tried to dress them up as Panthers to fool the Americans they had plenty left Monty

Here is the first one, its near Smolenst in 1944 ( the photo's are a bit blurry btw, sorry for that ): The second shows some T34's and infantery, they are not very close-up, guess it was close to the frontline: ok, i hope you liked them guys..... Monty

Thanks Doodlebug, the rocky mod works A-ok, i can now see them with view 1 to 4 ! btw the rocky mod zip contains also a rough mod .bmp btw do you like my signature ? ---------------------------------------------- Eyes Wide Shut George w. Bush is out jogging one morning, notices a little boy on the corner with a box. Curious, he runs over to the child and says, "What's in the box kid?" The little boy says, "Kittens, they're brand new kittens." George W. laughs and says, "What kind of kittens are they?" "Republicans," the child says. "Oh that's cute," George W. says and he runs off. A couple of days later George is running with his buddy Dick Cheney and he spies the same boy with his box just ahead. George W. says to Dick, "You gotta check this out" and they both jog over to the boy with the box. George W. says, "Look in the box Dick, isn't that cute? Look at those little kittens. Hey kid tell my friend Dick what kind of kittens they are." The boy replies, "They're Democrats." "Whoa!", George W. says, "I came by here the other day and you said they were Republicans. What's up?" "Well," the kid says, "Their eyes are open now" Monty

Rocky tiles are VERY hard to spot, you need level 1 or 2 to see them which is very annoying in large maps when you use tanks. Tanks move VERY slow on rocky tiles so i want to avoid them and would like to see those tiles when i use level 3,4 or even 5 if possible. Anyone solved this problem ?? ------------------------------------------------ George W. Bush's Intelligence Quiz While visiting England, George W. Bush is invited to tea with the Queen. He asks her what her leadership philosophy is. She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people. He asks how she knows if they're intelligent. "I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen. "Allow me to demonstrate." She phones Tony Blair and says, "Mr. Prime Minister. Please answer this question: Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?" Tony Blair responds, "It's me, ma'am." "Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Queen. She hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?" "Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!" Upon returning to Washington, he decides he'd better put the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the test. He summons Jesse Helms to the White House and says, "Senator Helms, I wonder if you can answer a question for me." "Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?" "Uh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Helms hems and haws and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?" Bush agrees, and Helms leaves. He immediately calls a meeting of other senior senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Helms calls Colin Powell at the State Department and explains his problem. "Now look here Colin Powell, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother, or your sister. Who is it?" Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course, you dumb ass." Much relieved, Helms rushes back to the White House and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's Colin Powell!" And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, you dumb ass, It's Tony Blair!" Monty [ July 18, 2003, 03:23 AM: Message edited by: Monty ]

Its a beauty ! I will grab it as soon im at home... --------------------------------------- Bush's Brain Scan George W. Bush went to see the doctor to get the results of his brain scan. The doctor said: "Mr. President, I have some bad news for you. First, we have discovered that your brain has two sides: the left side and the right side." Bush interrupted, "Well, that's normal, isn't it? I thought everybody had two sides to their brain?" The doctor replied, "That's true, Mr. President. But your brain is very unusual because on the left side there isn't anything right, while on the right side there isn't anything left." Monty

I never buy aircrafts, imho its a big gamble and you need luck in stead of skills like with other units. ------------------------------------------------ Puzzled President Cheney gets a call from his "boss", W. "I've got a problem," says W. "What's the matter?" asks Cheney. "Well, you told me to keep busy in the Oval Office, so, I got a jigsaw puzzle, but it's too hard. None of the pieces fit together and I can't find any edges." "What's it a picture of?" asks Cheney. "A big rooster," replies W. "All right," sighs Cheney, "I'll come over and have a look." So he leaves his office and heads over to the Oval Office. W points at the jigsaw on his desk. Cheney looks at the desk and then turns to W and says, "For crying out loud, Georgie - put the corn flakes back in the box." Monty

Thanks for the link -------------------------------------------- Bush Plays God A little boy wanted $100 badly and prayed for two weeks but nothing happened. Then he decided to write God a letter requesting the $100. When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to God, USA, they decided to send it to President Bush. The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill. President Bush thought this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy. The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 and sat down to write a thank you note to God, which read: Dear God, Thank you very much for sending the money, however, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington D.C. and, as usual, those crooks deducted $95.00.

Nice winter skin ! ---------------------------------- How can you drive George W. Bush crazy ? Take him to the oval office and tell him to piss in a corner. Monty

If you have enough HD space,just make a second install and use those .bmp's as backup. I have copied the BMP folder for backup. Monty

Roger that Schoerner I will wait a bit, my system is still fast enough. Yes, fog is really nice to see with all the markers off, almost realistic scenery. Monty

PaulS You can also use an instant messenger program like *cough* Microcrap's MSN Messenger to send very quickly files to your opponent. Monty

Tell us what did solve the problem please, im getting very curious !!!! :cool: Was the problem the scenario used the yellow "late" versions of the AFV's ?? Monty
