SPOILERS: Yeah, I'm smoken those things right now with my Mk IVs in Derschi Roadblock. I've noticed though, that as I advance, the optics and gun advantages of the Mk IVs over those T34s is dropping off. I am starting to loose tanks.

Play a scenario with the M17 (or make a test scenario in the editor) - watch the gunner as the turret turns.....quite funny!</font>

MD, That happened to me as well. I think it is because the squads don't line up in that perfect triangle formation anymore. Maybe BTS can force the squad to "form-up" once inside a transport. What M17 bug? Don't tell be it can KO Tigers from 500m, or blow up buildings in a single volley?! Here we go again.

There are a lot of subsitute models currently in the game. Some of these will get fixed with the first patch, but it may be a few months before we get an idea of what will permanently look like what.

Sometimes I'll put a CM pic as my desktop wallpaper. I'll sit down in front of the computer and move my mouse to the side of the screen so I can look around the battlefield. That's when I know it is time to go to bed.

Ja. My bad.

Andrew posted the bmp numbers for light snow (the same bmp numbers that are in all of CMBO's snow conditions), but he left out the numbers for heavy snow conditions. Here are both the set's bmp locations. Light Snow textures: 1470-1489 Heavy Snow texture: 1870-1889 Thanks again Andrew for posting those shots.

Thanks Andrew. I gotta learn how to do that. [ October 02, 2002, 07:06 PM: Message edited by: Vader's Jester ]

I just put down DDs snow for the "heavy snow" bmps, and Tom's BotB snow for "light snow" bmps! :eek: :eek: :eek: Unfortuneately, Tom's snow dosen't work well with the currnet soft grond textures for light snow conditions. But two sets of snow textures! Sch-weet! Hey Tom, think it is time to update the BotB mod? [ October 02, 2002, 06:14 PM: Message edited by: Vader's Jester ]

Some people have not recived the game yet. Please post SPOILERS somewhere before you reveal that there are [insert type of tank] in the scenario. As for beating it, I have only played once as the Russians and died. SPIOLERS: - - - - I plan on moving 80% of my forces to the left flank next time to aviod that platoon of Tigers that put the hurt on me on the first try.

Including Roxy?

All kidding aside.. if thats possible here. I sometimes feel that there should be something more at the end of a battle to either mock you when you lose, or uplift you when you win. I guess you could screen shot your own stats and make up a slideshow or something, with music and everything, I really hadnt thought about it until you mentioned it. Now I kinda wish there was something more.</font>

I think it would be much more interesting if, after a big win, CM brought up a special after action area where you were allowed to machine-gun characters from the Tony Hawk games. LOL! I was prepared for wise cracks like that. BTW there's a secret health pack hidden behind the church in the Cemetery Hill scenario!</font>

I'll give it another try, but I think an 81mm spotter with 40 rounds for the Germans would balance out the scenario a little better. If I fail again, maybe I just tweak it with the spotter and see what happens.

Well in that case, either rune is correct, or there is a bug. Try a few experiments with the QB editor. Put out several AA units (including your problem ones) and give the AI nothing but a few aircraft. See what happens.

What kind of HT? I noticed the 250's with the 20mm gun in CMBO would not fire at aircraft either. I don't think they can elevate their main gun that high. I would assume the same is true of Pz II's The max elevation is probably useless against aircraft so close to the battlefield.

The whitewash jobs look good Ed. It looks like a layer of frozen mositure in on them. Brrrrrr. Is it cold in here? How'd the trenches work/didn't work out?

Must. . .have. . .these. . .soon!

Hey, if I can't play an operational-level battle with 750,000pts and 900+ turns, then I don't want to play this stupid game.

Yeah. Where's the armor plated wheat stocks and the cloaking abilities fer god sakes? They don't even have the 1942 issue crop circles to beam out your wounded troops with. Stupid BTS!

How the hell do you breach that line of defense? I moved the recon platoons w/ the MGs, 75mm gun, and all my AFVs to the edge of the tree line to tie down the defenders in the trenches; which I was able too do. When I tried to sneak the sappers around the back, they got pinned down by troops in the cemetary. The toon HQ was wiped out in the fight, and the whole (oversized IMHO) toon broke. Damn! Anyone had sucess with this one?

That's more like a preview than a review.

Very cool. Knew there would be some conversions at some point. :cool:
