  1. Thanks I guess I have to get used to the differences between this interface and cmbb/cmbo/cmak Im very frustrated with this interface I cant figure out how to control the toatl points on quick battle forces either. Am I missing something? The manual doesnt mention a word about quick battles.
  2. Just tried a quick battle with a gift for guderion map as germans, figured I was attacking town troops got jumped by armored cars , that were setup adjacent to my troops at first turn. Doesnt make alot of sense to me. Is there a way to make soviet force start in town and defend bridges opposite german deployment area? I must be missing something, any help is appreciated.
  3. My next questions is how do you load a map into a quick battle? Should I place downloaded maps in a particular file so that it becomes one of the maps the quick battle editor sees?
  4. Thanks for the replies. looking forward to implementing suggestions tonight.
  5. I am used to the old cmbo cmbb and cmak games and just bought red thunder because my old favs dont run on my new windows 10 laptop. My favorite ways to play were small quick battles usually company level or smaller with a few vehicles on small to tiny maps Looks like in Red Thunder you have to buy big units and delete down to the allowed point value. I read this thread but still can't get down to one tank or one platoon: My questions are 1) how to just get one tank or one platoon of infantry, I can't seem to pare down that small. 2) is there any way to randomly generate maps like the old games? 3) can someone point me to map that I can download? Thanks,
  6. I have the computer ability of a two year old and cannot get maps downloaded from the scenario depot and saved in the quick battle map directory to be used as quick battle maps. Could someone run through how to do this for a two year old? P.S. I have read page 162 of the manual 100 times. Thanks.
  7. When is the patch available and where do you download it from? Thanks.
  8. In the preview scenarios the tanks had a platoon leader but in the various qb's I have played to date I have only seen independent tanks like in CMBO. Is there an option I need to turn on and if so how? Thanks.
  9. Where the heck is the order number? I chucked everything except the book.
  10. Whtas the deal with getting on the list to get a new CD due to the missing files? Is posting my message here enough or do i have to Email Matt whose address I don't know. Help because this game is going to make me buy a new computer to run it better because it is that cool.
  11. Has anyone taken out a halftrack with a MG42 or .50 caliber MG? I don't think I have ever actually observed this occurring. Any tips on doing this would be appreciated. Thanks.
  12. Yankee dog, you are totally right about the "pretty certain" aspect of indirect fire and long range units on kills. I just completed a QB w/ 228 casualties and 58 KIA. Most were inflicted via 81mm and 120 mm mortar fire on Ami infantry in a wooded area. After action report KIA for the 3 mortar teams was two. This is an awesome game!
