So, being a glutton for punishment, I like to play CMSF QB...and consequently dealing with the rather bizarre force mixes...However, very often I find myself facing 5 T-72s sitting right on top of my objective which I have to take with a mixed bag of infantry and no Javelins. SO, what successful tactics has anyone used with ATGM Hummers, USMC infantry with SMAWs or other non-armor US forces? With T-55s I can, with great casualties, sneak up my infantry to shoot them in the butt with some LAWs or SMAWs, but those T-72s are just evil.....

This looks GREAT...looking forward to it...hopefully on my MAC, but if not on my Bootcamp!

So, now that the CMBN/CMFI 3.0 engine for Mac is successfully launched...any bones about when a patch for CMSF might begin.....or end....with release?

Ahh, much better working this from my iMac and not my iPhone...was able to get re-registered and am downloading your mod now! Can't wait to try it...thanks for all the hard work.

Greetings Would like to try this but my commods account seems to have died and I have not been able to reactivate it. Does anyone know how to contact Greenasjade? I have not been able to email him? Or even better.. Is this mod going to be uploaded to the repository?

Hmmm the way things are going for Apple these days...I think I would prefer a BFC patch..I think I would trust them more with my CMSF!!

So Buzz, with V.3...all the goodness of CMFI/GL is fixed?...it appears from your comments that you had a lot more 36% issues with that game than CMBN/CW/MG.. In addition to CMBS, I was thinking about adding CMFI/GL to the ol' Xmas list...can't start planning too early!

WOOOOOOHOOOOOO bring the luv man.....can't wait!!!!!! Ok, maybe I'm a little excited.

BFC Just downloaded V.3 for CMBN/CW/MG. Outstanding job...easy download, easy install, easy activation, and my minor 36% hang on huge scenarios and campaigns is fixed. Well done...well worth $10....and haven't even seen all the new doodads....OH, and I did appreciate the ENGINE 3.OO notice on the splash screen!! Clears up the v. 2.20 confusion I read about in earlier posts. NOW, please, please, a hot fix for CMSF......please..please....did I beg enough???

This looks interesting...I am learning to like night battles...

Hi Buzz..thanks...that's what I assumed....but you know what assumed means! Also thanks for the D/L info...definitely won't need to wait for a disc. Cheers

Great news..so two quick question...I assume v2.12 is the Market Garden mod right? And how big is the download? Trying to decide on instant gratification or CD. Thx.

Thanks very much...that's fantastic...does the BETA version of Yosemite fix this problem? Not that it's ideal, but if we believe Apple's timeline that it will be released soon, then maybe the problem will resolve itself...BUT, if it doesn't....I for one would really be grateful for a patch since I don't expect a CMSF 2 soon...or ever....

Hi, glad to hear you are testing on Yosemite. Although I have had very minor issues with CMBN (mainly crashing some Huge Scenarios and the Road to Nijmagen campaign), I am looking forward to the modifications in 3.0 that I have enjoyed in CMRT. Definitely ready to download the 3.0 engine....

Sigh, sadly, it appears that the CMSF issues will not get resolved for Mavericks. SO, the disaster scenario for my BFC friends now becomes "what happens if Yosemite continues the 36% crash for CMSF?" Have any of your test/developers done any experimentation with the Beta version to see what it does? I know the 3.0 upgrade will fix my minor issues with CMBN and hopefully CMFI, which I don't have.....yet, but CMSF is a different matter. Unfortunately, although Buzz may be correct that Apple broke it...I am going to have to agree with Jammersix that either BFC needs to fix Apple's screwup or else properly advertise that CMSF for Mac is only about 50-75% playable under the current version of OS X. Given Apple's apparent lack of interest in fixing their Nvidia driver problem, it is my belief that continuing to sell a product that may--I say may because I don't know, but I am pessimistic now---not work under OS 10.10 is not going to be good for business...I really hope that Mac players will not go into the wilderness for CMSF...I did that once and it was bad...I bought Windows XP JUST to play CM under BootCamp. I, for one, would happily accept a delay in the superwhamadyne CMBS release to get a bug fix for CMSF. I love this game so much I bought BOTH the full PC version and the full Mac version. I remember the years of CM exile when Apple switched from QD Rave to Open GL. I would HOPE BFC would overcome Apple's screwup and support their CMSF community. I know we may never see a full CMSF 2 or even an full upgrade to the engine, but a bug fix would be a real boon to the loyal Mac fan base. I know coding it will be a PITA, it appears your team understands the issue from preparing the 3.0 upgrades for CMBN and CMFI.so is there ANY chance or reallocating some resources to put together a patch? Like Jammersix, I am not looking for a major upgrade here..I would just like to be able to play more of the NATO content...which seems to nearly ALWAYS crash. Thus endeth my rant.

WOWZA...love me some Glantz, but clearly the good Colonel can't write anything smaller than a doorstop

Oh, my..plowing my way through David Glantz' FOUR volume history of Stalingrad...can't wait to see what someone does with this mod....<hint, hint>

Shoot, a lot of the images have disappeared showing the actual CMBN map...anyway to get those back?

I for one, certainly look forward to the eventual upgrade of CMSF...seems like what's old is new again, if you read the news these days....maybe instead of US vs Syria, we'll have new scenarios of US vs ISIS....think of it...Styrkers versus waves of technicals and uparmored Hummers.

So how big is the download version likely to be for Mac? Deciding if I should go download or CD.

====================== Interesting. TF and BTG make things potentially much more interesting. Especially if you can purchase them for QB. Ok, little bone, but will take it.

So, now that the 3.0 upgrade is mostly done...any new bones for CMBS? Anything??? Movies, screen shots. TO&E? Please?

I agree with Buzz on this..works on 10.9.1..doesn't work on 10.9.2...not anything BFC changed. But be that as it may..I have a brand new IMac with 10.9.4. CMRT-works perfectly--as Buzz said the 3.0 engine rocks CMBN/CW/MG-95% of it works...a couple of huge scenarios don't work, but almost everything else does. CMFI- don't own..can't say CMSF..with 10.9.4..I can play US Army and USMC scenarios most of the time and quick battles other than meeting engagement up to medium. British and NATO forces work on small and tiny QB other that meeting engagement. Other scenarios are hit and miss. MORE of them work on 10.9.4..as do most campaigns..again US forces work much more than Brits or NATO...HERE's the interesting part...T2K campaign and mods work fine...Euroscape mod works fine. So from my point of view it's not perfect, but doable. Honestly I play QB most of the time...I rarely get more than 30 minutes at a time to play given my life and attention span, so I can squeeze in a QB now and again. The weird QB unit selection built into CMSF is a bigger complaint of mine.. So. I heard that Apple has a 10.9.5 patch in the works...and finally....maybe it will address video drivers. In the meantime, there is so much replay-ability in CMSF that I am annoyed but not discouraged. AND I remember when Apple has done weird things before that screwed over BFC...the QuickDraw Rave thing is always burned in my brain... So, buck up...the 3.0 upgrade to CMBN/CW/MG and CMFI/GL will be AWESOME...and I am ready to buy CMBS....yup...yup...

Ok, silly question...can I use this map for QB? If so, what am I missing? I tried to drop it in the QB Maps folder but it doesn't show up in my selection menu? Is there a particular way I need to change the file name...add QB to it or something? I would love to play a QB on it. Is there a thread that describes how to use member created maps in QBs? thx

Ahhh... Interesting point...I do play a lot of small maps. That does seem to magnify the effect of that initial bombardment. Argh...well I guess those infantry will just have to dig deeper.
