I've downloaded a bunch of new scenarios for CM, and unzipped them where all the other missions were. But when i start up CM [latest patch], it doesn't automatically pick up the new missions... Sorry for the dumb question

Yesterday i tried to get my tank into the hulldown position but then it got stuck -- imobile ! Perhaps because i had the hunt command stop on the slope of a hill which i thought would be perfect for hulldown? Or maybe this is just a consequence sometimes of trying to find a HD position. I also noticed that sometimes hidden machinegunners openfire on tanks when they're buttoned up -- futile! And i had ordered them to hide, but for some reason they felt the need to start firing. Needless to say they were killed. Wonder why they were stupid enough to disobey my command, especially when its obvious they're not going to bring down a Sherman w/ a mg? I also noticed that sometimes men don't appear to exactly be in a foxhole but the display at bottom says they're in the hole. I assume the game treats it as if they're in the foxhole even though on-screen the men appear to be next to the foxhole. Thanx to all, ooo-rah

yes i meant to say i've been playing CM for a week, not CC which i returned to the store! <g> I've read about the hull down position but i recall that the only way to get into that position is to be behind a wall(?) Or maybe there's some way to use the geography of the land to find a hulldown position? Also, does CM tell me if my tank has found a hulldown position or do i have to go for a closeup of the tank and look at its profile? Thanks to all. BTW what is CM2 going to be about?

The Firefly tanks seem to get the better of my panzers & AA weapons from long range, and to get up close i end up exposing my tanks to enemy infantry; any good strategies to overcome this problem? BTW i've been playing CC for a week now, its 100% great. I even went to the store & got my $$ back for the latest version of CloseCombat w/ the excuse that it didn't work w/ w2k CC is in a league of its own -- Jay
