    OK, there was a thread around here, but I can't find it. I have the original Paradox CD, and am getting all the modules on CD for Xmas (good intel, I know)

    I also have the 1.10, 1.11, CM Marines 1.20, and CM 1.21 patches as stand alone downloads.

    SOOO, 2 questions.

    I already have CMSF Marines installed and patched to 1.21 (I downloaded it, but wanted a CD for posterity or a new computer, my ludditeness)

    So what is the preferred way to install CMSF British and NATO and the latest 1.31 patch?

    Also, IF I wanted to start ALL OVER on a new machine :) what would be the order of installation from my 1.01 Paradox CD?

    Thanks for the help, I need something I can stash on my ultimate CMSF backup CD and refer back to...

    Couple of questions

    in Combat Mission: Shock Force Tech Support

    Okay a couple questions, hopefully none silly or redundant:

    1) I purchased the Marine Module about a year ago and have installed it on my MACBOOK. If I wanted to install it on my iMac, I should be able to do that right? I have the full CMSF_Marines_.exe file and the full license key code. Can I just install and follow the prompts to register?

    2) I am interested in purchasing the NATO module, but did not purchase the British module. Can I run the Marine and NATO, but not the British?

    and finally.......any word on the MAC version of CM: Normandy?...haven't seen any bones lately....

    Thanks much

    Quick question,

    I noticed that some designers emphasize how much of their scenario is "infantry-only".

    SO,

    Does anyone have a list or thread that shows which of the scenarios at CMMODS are mostly infantry. I am trying to sharpen my skills, particularly in MOUT.

    At this time I don't have the USMC module..I am holding out hope that an OSX version will be available shortly...although it is getting harder to hold out.

    Thanks in advance

    Howdy,

    I haven't made much progress lately. I was going to read Mark's comic tutorals, but have been very busy. I have a basic document to upload if anyone wants it, but this thread has been pretty quiet lately. My ultimate ambition would be to produce something like the old tutorals that came out for CMBO, but I haven't played enough to develop my own LL yet.

    Sorry
