whizbang Thanks for the heads up on a nice web site with a bunch of good info , allot of us have been playing these games (CMBO and CMBB) for a few years, and we forget it is allot deferent then most other games out there. I guess that is why it is Always Ready to run on our hard drives... bnickb (WC Fields) once put it: "I cook with wine, sometimes I add it to the food"

The only games that have been on my HD ( and played almost daly) until the new version comes along are CMBO then CMBB and MSFS 2000 then MSFS 2002....... Right now I am trying GI Combat. A lot of fun but just dosen’t have the depth of Combat Mission series..... Bnickb (WC Fields) once put it: "I cook with wine, sometimes I add it to the food"

This is why i love this game..... bnickb

wasn’t the sneak command in CMBO a slow and careful ! move .. didn’t ware one out just made them a bit slower and a bit harder to detect.... What was wrong with that??? bnickb

I am up for it....... let me know nick jnickw@yahoo.co

You could always download the demo for CMBO, it does a great job of showing what the game is all about , I still replay the CMBO demo missions once in awile. (unlike the CMBB demo) BNICKB

Thanks again Tom for hosting a Wonderful site, STUFFED with lots of goodies.... I think I have downloaded about 50% of the Mods so far.. CMBB , CMBO as good as it gets.. bnickb ................................................

Negrin Good idea, an you can also use (ctrl,alt,delete, to weed out the other programs) and yes there are a few programs that will run in the background and are not found in msconfig....... bobnickbob

Nice looking screens , I hope this dosn't sound lame but which .bmp do I need to copy one of these over. Or is it like , cover.bmp or something. thanks...... just got through downloading and unzipping the file .....Nevermind.......should have done that first..... bnickb (WC Fields) once put it: "I cook with wine, sometimes I add it to the food" [ September 26, 2002, 11:41 PM: Message edited by: bobnickbob ]

When I shut it down this morning I still had problems. OK what did you guys do send in the fix it weazels??? I have no idea what happened , my guess is one of the driver changes I made helped , but when I got home after work and fired up the game , it worked just fine, no screen flashing ,no freeze up ,works as advertized. I am thrilled !!!!! and thanks once again for the replys Schrullenhaft bnickb

Schrullenhaft thanks for the reply I am using 30.82 win me drivers for my G-force 3 card. I was using the 28.32 drivers . Dosn't seem to make a diff. Also I uninstalled the old drivers first... I do have the 4 in 1 set up running, I will try the latest drivers next thanks for the Idea.. also late last night I loaded the game on my back-up system and it runs fine (although real slow) I have a geforce mx 400 in that system so I don't think is has to do with the video card. could be my monitor, I will check that after the 4 in 1 driver update. some time later; Now I have all new drivers at least all the ones I can think of still the same problem...... One other thing i have noticed that when the screen starts to flash ,and i move around the map view 1234 the trees just infront of me disappear... The flashing, some of it anyway looks like single trees and troops flashing on and off. any Ideas thanks again bnickb [ September 25, 2002, 12:17 PM: Message edited by: bobnickbob ]

OS; win ME AMD 1.4 T bird ASUS A7V 133 MB 256 megs pc133 ram geforce 3 ti 200 video card sound blaster live , sound card 40 gig 7,200 RPM maxtor HD I think I have all the latest Drivers . (now) I was running the 28.32 Nividia video drivers , but had flashing on the screen so I down loaded the latest drivers from Nividia. Now the system locks up after a few turns. ( it might have lock up before but I just went for new drivers after seeing the flashing after the first turn. so maybe I did not give it enough time to.) screen flashes and after a few turns then looks like it Locks up........... And yes I defraged , ETC .... before I installed and Yes I did a Reinstall. {a few hours later....... I find the game playes OK well at least it dose not lock up , if I keep the screen set to 1,2,3,4 keys. 5 or above causes flashing and screen seems to lock. At this point I can save the game ,quit , and restart to were I left off...} help Nick Walker ndwalk95521@yahoo.com Arcata , CA [ September 24, 2002, 11:14 PM: Message edited by: bobnickbob ]

Good post FEBA I to would like to see mac times , could be interesting , come on mac guys let the world know............. How ever long the turns take WE all know it is worth the wait...... bnickb WC Fields) once put it: "I cook with wine, sometimes I add it to the food"

Kevin Kinscherf My back-up system is a AMD 550 with 128 megs of ram and a geforce mx 400 with 64 megs of ram. its taking an average of 19 seconds think time on the yelena stare mission , and the graphics during game play look smooth to me , but as I have said before ,wile playing Combat Mission I have no other programs running in the background. I think this helps..... bnickb

K_Tiger Another thing that will slow the system down , is all the programs running in the background. The only ones you need to run with Combat mission is explorer and systray the rest you can shut down while you play. Try hitting ctrl-alt-delete to see how many are running. Unless your running XP....... bnickb (WC Fields) once put it: "I cook with wine, sometimes I add it to the food"

I have checked out the demo Yelina stare , first three turns as the germans , and I get an average of 11 seconds on my AMD 1.4 system (256 mem pc133) geforce 3 ti 200 video card (124 meg DDR), and 19sec for the system to “think” , on my 550 AMD Irongate powered system (Geforce MX 400 64 meg video card)... note : I run NO programs in the background....... could this make that much of a dif...... what do you think?? need to waste some time till The Game arrives......... bobnickbob WC Fields) once put it: "I cook with wine, sometimes I add it to the food"

MrNoobie try right clicking on the area were the pic should be, this should show you some info on the pic , copy the URL of the pic (the long address thread) and past it to your browser (address area) and hit go the pic should come up........ hope this helps bnickb WC Fields) once put it: "I cook with wine, sometimes I add it to the food"

I was wondering if the 8 k. , L l cache on the p-4 prosseser would be a problem with this game. looks like it might........... :confused: I have a AMD 1.4 mghz with 256 of ram and thinking time on any of the demos for CMBB in about 10 sec. which seems fast enough for me. :cool: anybody else want to check this out , I used the yelina stare mission to test the time. bnickb (WC Fields) once put it: "I cook with wine, sometimes I add it to the food"

brigade101 If you don’t already know the games come with one of the best editors around , you can make just about any battle one can imagine all kinds of ammo loads, weapon types ,tank types ,terrain set-ups ,etc... and it is REALY easy to use... (WC Fields) once put it: "I cook with wine, sometimes I add it to the food" bnickb

Most often ,even today with CMBO, I play premade scenarios, the QBs are fun but there seems to be a sameness (is that a word) to them. so I am sure it will be a few of the scenarios first. also I would realy like to try a PBEM , a small one or two see how the new stuff works, any one up for it ? WC Fields) once put it: "I cook with wine, sometimes I add it to the food" bnickb

Coors light , I am not as young as I used to be....... plus I plan to play into the wee hours of the night.... a bottle of wine and its nightly night for me............... same for vodka............so sad............. So Coors Light to the rescue............. bnickb

looks as though the demo was more balanced then I thought, after playing it for a few more times yes even I , the Lame Gammer , was able to win as the ruskys... :cool: (WC Fields) once put it: "I cook with wine, sometimes I add it to the food" Thanks ” Winecape” bnickb

Check this out my boss is so cool he said he would provide the beer and snacks for the install party when CMBB arrives , and told me not to show up unless I needed a break from the game or my carpel tunnel flares up. (probable the wrists will go first) bnickb no layoff insight, self employed
