    How Long does it take

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    Hi One and all

    I ordered TOW + add on disc two weeks ago and No game yet.

    Guess I should have sprung for the download plus disk ,

    Even with my low class high speed , wouldn’t of taken more then 36 hours.

    So I ask what’s the deal , when should I start really whining ?

    Give me the game already ….

    I dropped a line a few days ago , No response as yet. Seems when I bought CMBO (Many moons ago), CMBB And CMAK , Didn’t take even a week to get to me….

    Want game now!!!

    in Combat Mission: Shock Force Tech Support

    Posted

    Thank you guys

    Looking into 7600GT or 8800GT.

    Gibsonm

    Yes running XP , Sp 2

    best gamming O.S. so far.

    Schrullenhaft

    The 9600 vid card was a AGP card

    from my old system , My new MB is a super pci or (Express PCI) there for using a ATI X 800.

    Which just won't work with The CMX 2 games,

    so far as I can tell..

    Not to worry , I have been playing Battle Front Games from day 1 . OK my original memmber forum # was around 600 .

    anyway once I have my Vid card thing set right , I will be ready for all the new

    Games.

    Thanks Battle Front

    And forum folks

    Thanks for a fast responce , the drivers i have on the system now are "8-3_xp32_dd_59746"

    version 8.471.0.0. they work well with CMAK.

    but the open GL part does not work with this card ..

    So what I am looking for is a tip for a good grafix card maybe a year or so old (not to much $) that does Open GL well and also Direct X .

    nvidia or ATI I don't care I have used all of them in the past . I have a super PCI mother board and amd 939 , 3200 prosseser

    thanks

    Hi One and all

    Just reloaded CMAK after a year of or so. I had forgotten how much fun

    it was to play. The scenario I used was a remake of “chance encounter”

    based on the original Demo of CMBO . What a hoot..........

    Checked out the web site to see whats new .

    I am now down loading the new demo with the new CMX 2 system .

    If it is halve as much fun I will be buying , soon as I can scape together the bucks.

    Thanks for so many fun hours great gamming.

    Well I finally did it

    in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord

    Posted

    Well I finally did it, took CMBO off my hard drive , I have gone through 3 OS changes in that time 2 major upgrades , and God Knows how many games of all kinds. And through all this CMBO has been there. Sure there were weeks I didn’t play it but when I would have enough of the latest FPS or RPG I was playing or even great games like Age of Empires (which I played the hell out of..... it was back for a few rounds of CMBO.

    So why no more CMBO ?

    Yes that is right I am the proud owner of a brand spanking new copy of CMAK..................................

    OOOH the gaming goodness...........

    CMAK any good?

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    Well I think it is worth the price , although I own CMBB , I just couldn’t get into it all that much.

    Fun game and I liked all the fine tunning that

    went into it and there is the fact that the ruskies had the major battles and all but , this is the one I had been waiting for. I love that CMBO feel plus all the fine tunning . It may be a bit dated but it still has elegance and sophistication. The best combat simulator around. (none FPS that is)

    You might as well just get it now , and stat having some fun. you know you want to.

    Hi one and all

    Point 1

    Here is a fine web site that cleared up a few of the many questions I still have about battalion and divisional organization , WW II.

    http://www.stormpages.com/garyjkennedy/General/introduction.htm

    I got this info from the forums at the Matrix web site ,thanks to Tim

    http://www.matrixgames.com/

    Point 2

    Finally got to try out the Demo , there have been a few changes, and as far as I can tell by the demo they all seem to be for the good.In the last go round I sent a small group of volunteers out to hide until most of the attacking force had moved on by. Then jump out and plug a few tanks if possible and do some basic damage. Well they did just fine, after taking out 2 of the last tanks to come rolling by ,it got pretty warm for them so the gave up . No problem they took steam out of the attack , as they started marching off back to the rear my counter attack ( at the front ) really started to heat up. So about 2 thirds of the group took of and hid. It was so cool , I clicked on troops to see what was going on and it said ,unarmed for the ones that ran away and hid while the ones still marching toward the rear said captured.

    Only played the Demo a few times and each time I have seen lots of great little changes so I guess I am going to have to buy this one to.

    Enough for now must get back to the game.............
