There are a lot of CMBO mods for tanks, terrain etc. Are these mods transportable directly to CMBB or do all of them have to be redone by those wonderful modders out there? Edi Birsan

OK the running of the DXDIAG seemed to do the trick. HOWEVER, a small panic at first came to the fore when going to address you indicated revealed no such file as DXDIAG. For those like me who have no clue as to this sort of stuff the key is to tell people to go to the Run and then just enter DXDIAG and go through the tests. For the record I have Radeon7000 RadeaonVE as my video driver. I did go back to the old CMBO and then it allowed me to go to 1024x728 or whatever. So mission accomplished thank you.

I run CM with no problems... I just received CMBB I have a PC with ME I have a Pentium 3 I have direct X When I go through installion it clears through but does not set up an icon on the desk top (maybe it should not) When I got to the Exe to start the game the only screen I get asks if I accept a resolution of 640x480 which I would rather not but does not matter if I hit accept it closes down and throws me out if I say skip it says cannot initialize 3d graphics and throws me out Same thing happens with or without Norton on. so do I have a defective disk with faulty installation (please send a new one) or is there something else here. I do run CM on the same machine and ran the demo with no problems, So what gives here. If it some weird video thingee so where do I go to get another version of Direct X or whatever is the video driver that is used here...and why does CM then work but not this>? :mad:

Actually I have been playing with 1.03 and do not see where the amphibious assaults are...you still cannot land where there is an occupied space and this leaves the Germans with a very gamey solution to the western front: transfer all the minor corps to the west and simply move them to where ever the allies want to land and they are stopped again and again. 2 or 3 air units will pick off the allied landing craft since they seem to like to go to the south of biscay and you can stop them. You need to be able to attack from the sea directly to an occupied land space and have a chance to force the defender back. The system needs a retreat roll concept.

When playing the Axis against the AI I find that lining France with corps will stop the invasion there because if there is a unit in the beach landing zone there will be no attack. I find this rather gamey and wish that there could be direct naval assault as there was at Normandy, Anzio etc. It is too easy to keep the Americans/Brits off the mainland by the technique of beach squatting with a few air units to pick off the allies and keep their air forces occupied. Do you agree with me

1. What is an action point and why is it important, what effect does it have? 2. It seems that shore bombardment is more costly to the ships than the damage that they do. So for this also seems to be the same with strategic bombing...but maybe the experience is too limited.

I am a new player to CM and am about to start my first email game (Elsdorf), I've run through all the basic scenarios but I do not have a real feel for which ones would be balanced for a 2 plyer game by email. Has anyone advice one what is the most balanced of the Basic Scenarios (version 1.12)? Edi :confused:
