I'm just throwing out a hypothesis here but if BFC develops an excellent, real-time, RTS game exploring tactics used in the Middle East then it is possible that the US Military-Industrial-Entertainment Complex might be interested in having the talented BFC staff design some missions for training troops headed for such areas. Before you scoff at this hypothesis I seem to remember a few years ago that New Zealand or Australia employed BFC in such a fashion. We all know that the US MIE Complex has a much larger pot o' gold to tap for such services so kudos to BFC for trying to get some of my tax dollars. Good luck!

The only evidence that something is happening is the CMC Beta Forum. There are still daily posts occurring so one has to assume that development is still proceeding. It makes me wonder, though, how these guys are paying their bills with something that has been 3-5 years in development!

That's my boy! I always liked his name so I co-opted it as my avatar. I also thought a name like that would be a good name for a rapper. As for SC2, I regularly think of where the "indirect" approach might be applied to good effect.

Hello all...newly purchased the game and am loving it. Forgive me if this has already been mentioned but as I have been playing I've been reminded of a book by BH Liddell Hart entitled STRATEGY. While this book covers the span of warfare from the ancients to WWII and beyond it would be a perfect companion to playing SC2. In the book Liddell Hart goes over how important battles and wars were won and lost by using the indriect approach (diplomatically and on the battlefield). The scale and at which most battles are discussed harmonizes nicely with SC2. Here is the link: Strategy by Liddell Hart

Thanks to Martin, problem solved. I didn't have the dashes (-) in my license number when I generated the original eLicense. Redid it with the dashes and everything went smoothly.

I've purchased Strategic Command 2 and can't get the f*&king eLicense to work.

I'm thinking carbon monoxide poisoning. Somebody needs to check before it gets too stinky.

I've tried every permuation of copying and pasting info and get this message: Error Occured: Order ID or License Number was not found. Please check the Order ID or License Number and re-create the request. Any fixes? Note: I'd be happy to e-mail the info to anyone at BFC to give it a try!

There has been no activity in Area 51 (also known as the CMC Internal Use Forum) since May 26. Let your imagination concoct the worst and most unlikely explanation for this inactivity.

I think what FinnN has said nicely is that the burden of proof is squarely on the shoulders of the person making the claim not the person(s) doubting it. Proof in this case would be construed as a page in a book written by an authoritative source or a web site of similar quality. Hopefully said source would have solid data to support the claim or thesis and not just assert it as true. Edit: Well as I was writing this post (and watching the US men's soccer team pound China) Jeff D gave a good example of what I wrote above.

Is anyone planning a tournament to commemorate the start of Barbarossa? A one-day, one-match, TCP/IP, one-battle-played-by-all, hi-score-for-each-side-wins style of tournament. Anyone got something like this planned?

Good to see that you haven't lost your sense of humor.

Could BFC release transcripts from older CMC Beta discussions to assuage our collective pain? I'm thinking something similar to what the US Gov't does with its Freedom of Information Act except not 50 years after the fact but more like 50 days or 25 days after the fact. BFC can make available non-secret stuff to satisfy our curiosity. I know something's going on because the beta forum gets posts I just hope its not of the "What I did last night" variety. BFC...feel free to post any releasable beta forum chatter right here! Just copy and paste!

I have not had any crash problems but I have not purchased any of the megacampaigns. Buggy are they?

I've started playing Steel Panthers: World at War again. Get the free full game here: Steel Panthers: World At War

Never mind...I don't think my computer can run it.

I need to know if my computer specs will work if I am to order the game. I still cannot get the demo to run despite poring over the tech support forum for clues. Any ideas?

System info below...any ideas. I have looked at just about every page in this forum but have not found the fix yet. I get the hourglass to start but then it stops and nothing changes...I'm still looking at the desktop. ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 4/20/2007, 21:45:03 Machine name: CAMM Operating System: Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_qfe.070227-2300) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: Dell Inc.

When I start the demo the screen goes black and then when it reappears it has flipped 180 degrees so that it is upside down. Worse still the game does not start. Any ideas?

First time caller, 5'11, 160....Cha Ching! I'm excited.

An example of maneuver tactics: A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles, along for the company. One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and before long, Cuddles discovers that he's lost.. Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch. The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?" Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had me!" Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine! Now, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old poodle says. "Where's that darn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!" The ultimate of maneuver tactics: A bloodless victory by attacking the mind of the enemy.

Thanks for proving my point! I'll let you guys figure out which one it is.

Gentlemen, I can't engage you on your terms. Both of you are 100x more knowledgable of WWII than I but I have read much more than the average person on the subject so I don't think my impressions are without merit. JC, As I mentioned you have run campaigns and played in them whereas I have not other than solo campaigns of the sort that ROBO has put together. I know, not the same. You have taken your experiences and tried to apply them to the design of CMC campaigns and so have I. I guess we'll both find out when (fingers crossed) it is released. Until we can collect the "data" from CMC you and I both have hypotheses that no amount of debating now will solve. MD, The events I am talking about involve footborne infantry (not motorized) which when bypassed or flanked by mobile forces (incl. motorized infantry) became extremely vulnerable to being cut off from supplies or escape which I take it is very depressing to the soldiers and takes away their will (and bullets and food) to fight. I think this occurred in Poland '39, France '40, North Africa, Russia,and Europe '44-45. I'm not sure if your testing my scant knowledge or have never heard of infantry surrendering because they were cut off from escape? This probably happens to tanks and other units as well but not as frequently.

JC, I don't think that I threw up the "tank straw man" that you "knocked down" in your recent post. I think of each unit or piece of equipment like a chess piece and, as such, they each have unique capabilities. By scaling maps certain ways you can enhance or diminish these capabilities. I realize that you know this but bear with me. You said that infantry was the main focus of the game although it seems that BFC has put an incredible amount of effort into realistically modeling all of the components except for maybe air support. From other posts in other threads I gather you think this because of the number units (individual pieces) that can be reasonably moved around while creating an entertaining game. Fair enough but I disagree that every campaign or battle will become beholden to the infantry. The reason I disagree is because: (a) in real world war 2 battles the infantry was useless, bypassed, stranded, and cut off by more mobile forces; and ( this element will exist in CMC so that CMC transforms CMBB into a more mobile-unit friendly game and so map size should probably reflect this aspect in those particular campaigns. I know that you are concerned about "stacking" and playability. I am as well and have little patient for "huge" scenarios. I also have vastly inferior campaign-playing and managing experience than you but I would like to say that in a campaign I would hope there is always an option of, as Liddell Hart says, the indirect approach. Indeed, if both players know before the first turn that the campaign will be decided by a concentration of most of their firepower at point X on the map then it really would be a waste of the CMC design. I think that CMC will give options for winning other than attrition (e.g. lowered morale or supplies). So in response to your putting a battalion on a 2 km front I would try to circumvent them and cut them off from supplies and so on. It seems just as good or better a strategy as bludgeoning them with a regiment. Good scenarios that take advantage of CMC would be something where both sides have to defend and attack. For example, in the "Oka" scenario above the russians might be required to hold and expand the bridgehead while the german mission might be to prevent a breakthrough and reduce the brdigehead. Both sides have to take initiative and in those cases somebody might stick their neck out too far.

I was thinking about this and I concluded that if armor is involved and the terrain is open or lightly treed the maps should probably be 2 x 2 km. My reason is that if tanks are going to be meeting other tanks, AT Guns, or whatever and the maps are 1 x 1 km then some of the tanks that were designed to engage targets outside of 1 km would be at a unhistorical disadvantage. Now, if the maps have lots of forest or hills then this seems like less of an issue since tanks or other guns are less likely to be engaging targets at greater than 1 km. PFMM: Until I here otherwise from BFC, I'm assuming that CMC will be released.
