Same here with regard to a relatively long time for the blue bar to finish loading as compared to CMBO for comprable sized scenarios.

I've seen it work both ways in the same turn with a couple of Soviet tanks.

I'm experiencing a little jerkiness as well when I'm simply scrolling around the map from level 3 view and lower. It really is very, very slight, but I shouldn't be experiencing it with my rig given the size of the maps. I have all effects maxed out. 2.2 Ghz P4 2 GB PC-800 RDRAM (non-ecc) Abit TH-7 II R 133 Mobo 2 60 GB Maxator 7200 RPM (ata-133) HD (RAID"0"). Visiontek Ti-4600 GeF 4 (128mb DDR) (anti-aliasing 4x) - (whatever drivers were released around August 7) XP Pro Audigy 5.1 Platinum

It's essentially a newbie help thread. Just go on in with any of your CM questions and you'll shortly be rewarded with a prompt and polite response. Cheers!

The SOUNDS are fan-farkin'-tastic!!! I am aware of only one game that has better sounds than this, and it is a state of the art FPS (which, as a genre, are most often focused on such matters to the detriment of gameplay). Have you guys noticed the molotov cocktail - chuckin' tank hunters?

Holy CRAP is right!! A T34 just wasted an entire 12 man squad with a single round! :eek:

The drivers are at least on number 30.82... update your drivers (It might has nothing to do with the problem, but you should update them any way).</font>

Okay, the command line did turn red during turn one. I do not know if it was at the commencemnent of the turn or not.

No, its not buttoned. [edited because the info I had previously posted in this message was incorrect] [ September 01, 2002, 02:11 AM: Message edited by: Agua ]

**********POTENTIAL SPOILER******************* [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ On Yelnia Stare, the graphic for the command line to the platoon leader from Tank 3, 1st Platoon, is black, regardless of the distance between the two tanks or the terrain type either is located in. There may be some legitmate modeling reason for that, and I don't know if it is, in fact, out of command, as I haven't started a turn yet.

Same result as MadMatt on 40.41 Detonators for XP with CMBO.

What the hell, I'll give it a try as well.

Have you guys given Airborne Assault a try? It's not "real time" but "continuous time", and pausable. Different period and focus, I know, but it really is a fantastic approach to gaming with counters.

Yup, definitely going to be a clusterfook unless the demo is distributed to the likes of Fileplanet and 3DGamer.

Look on CMHQ and see if there is something called "mods for dummies" (Pawnbroon?). I'm not sure, but there might be some instruction geared toward modding.

I think he said that unless he can swing some more RAM for his home PC, they probably won't be taking pre-orders.

Whatever happened to the CMBorg? Enjoy it man. It's given me over a year and a half of enjoyment.

Yes, it is also mentioned by Madmatt in another thread that there will be two scenarios. back at ya.

The release states the demo will include "3 playable scenarios". Elsewhere in the forum, it is represented that the demo will include two scenarios. So is it two or three?

Probably had a big night of whoring and boozing. Check back this evening.

Yeah, I strongly disagree as well. It has been my experience that CM players generally have strong tabletop wargame experience and are enamoured with the game, not so much for the eye candy, but for the incredible detail in combat resolution. Oh, it certainly doesn't hurt that it has beauty as well as brains, but it is the most realistic and historically detailed wargame available for the PC; some would not even limit it to computer wargames. It is only recently, as in within the last year, that I ever picked up an FPS. The only ones I fool around with are Ghost Recon and Flashpoint which are far different animals from the typical mindless shooters. RTS? I haven't got the time of day for them (mainly because to date, they lack sufficient depth and detail to hold my interest). However, GI Combat looks very promising with regard to attention to detail and I'm very hopeful for that title. It's difficult with communication over the internet to discern the tone underlying a communication. I'm not insulted at all by your assesment, but I think that a) you don't have a good handle on the depth of Combat Mission; and / or you haven't spent enough time in the CM forums to provide you with an informed approximation of the background and likes of CM fans. Best wishes,

There appears to be little concerning PC software that Schrul does not know, or can't get a finger on in a big hurry.

Yes. Noted that myself. I believe the ad also represented the demo was available for DL.

I would probably pay for such terrain expansion files, assuming the price was not unreasonable, and by that I mean, for a DL only product, a pack of, say, a dozen unique terrain file sets, should be ~ $15 (US) or less.

No problem here. Probably played about 10 hours last night and this morning.
