[Stalingrad Pack ?]

Brothers:

I saw something yesterday about a Stalingrad Pack. I just got CMBB, and haven't played it yet, but is there some excellent patch I should be aware of.

Any/All Assistance is appreciated.

[Intro Movie?]

Brothers:

I just got CMBB for Christmas. Finally got a chance to load it and then found there was no Intro movie. Was this not coded or am I running into an error that's not being displayed?

Just curious. Haven't gotten to play yet but I'm drooling.

Thanks for the assist.

[Pacific Theater Mods and Operations]

Nevermind, I found it. Thanks.

[Pacific Theater Mods and Operations]

Brothers:

Wow! Thanks for the responses. I'm really impressed. OK, now for the scary part. I'm new to this as I haven't really even played CMBO yet (had it for a year or something). I'm a new grognard and am about to finish the Close Combat series (wanted to finish first since CM looks so impressive I knew I wouldn't want to go back). Does anyone have the link to the Japanese mods mentioned?

As usual, all information appreciated in advance.

Sorry for the ignorant question.

[Pacific Theater Mods and Operations]

Brothers:

Is anyone aware of any Pacific Theater Mods and Operations? If so, can you tell me where I can acquire these?

Note: I know there is a Japanese version of CMBO, are any Japanese moders working on this?

Thanks in advance for all information and assistance.

[Question for History Buffs and Bookworms:]

Brother:

Thanks to all. Viceroy is correct, I've probably been a little to jumpy. I'm a slow reader (although I generally remember it forever) so I didn't want to get 250 pages into something and find I wasted my time.

I'll check out your references. Appreciate the help.

[Question for History Buffs and Bookworms:]

Brothers:

Thanks for the advice. I had looked at "Warriors of the Sun," and I believed I looked at "Pacific War" as well. I'm beginning to think I've got to read at least 3 books on the issue to get a "fair" feel for what was occurring. Just wanted to make sure I was correct.

I appreciate any/all advice.

Good Hunting,

Fowler

[Question for History Buffs and Bookworms:]

Brothers:

I need a recommendation for a book covering the Japanese military from around 1863 to 1945. I've seen several, but some of the reviews on them are pretty mixed. Recently I was looking closely at "Soldiers of the Sun" by Meirion and Susie Harries. However, some of the reviews indicated that the Harries were very racist agains the Japanese. Does anyone know of a clear, objective book?

Thanks for all assistance in advance.

[CM2 FAQ - All You Wanted to Know but Were Afraid to Ask]

Thanks for the FAQ's. Yes some "neo-phytes" still read the site. I guess I'll participate in the bumping.

Can someone tell me what the System Requirements are? I've got a quickly aging PIII 450Mhz. machine with 256MB RAM and a 32MB Graphics Card. I think this should be sufficient, but would like confirmation.

Appreciate the information.

[Graphics Resolution]

To Maximus: Thanks Ace.

To others: If you think 1024x768 sucks, try 640x480. (Just Kidding, and I think sucks is a little harsh for Combat Mission).

[Graphics Resolution]

I'm sure it's in the manual somewhere, but the other night I downloaded MODS for the first time....Whoa I know I'm way behind the times...anyway, after I applied some, probably to many and incorrectly, my system freaked and reset (or maybe it was always set, but it seems clunkier) my resolution to 640x480. Further, now everything seems to chug. I've got a PIII - 450 with a TNT2 32MB Graphics card and 256 MG RAM. I seem to remember everything running better. I tried removing and reinstalling, but it redetected the 640x480 settings. Any suggestions?

NOTE: I haven't really spent time troubleshooting, so this may be an moronic question after my second attempt I returned to a game of Panzer Elite.
