    Happy new year, the year of the new CM game !

    in Combat Mission Shock Force 1

    Posted

    Hi all !

    In France, we are in 2006 since three hours ... maybe it's not yet the time in America :D

    Anyway, happy new year to the BFC team, I wish you to realize all the dreams of thousands of wargamers and offer me a game that will change the face of modern warfare simulation ... after all I'm studying for Saint-Cyr :cool: , I've got to receive some training before going there ! :D

    Regards,

    Paulus

    PS : CMSF got to rock ! (definitely ...)

    CMx2 Graphics

    With 3000 polygons for a soldier I was wondering how realistic and detailed wounds should be ...

    Can we expect to see as impressive injuries like in the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan or bullet hits like in Band of Brothers ?

    Even something approaching that kind of animation would be very satisfying tongue.gif

    If we have building damage like in Band of Brothers (especially the scene covering a battle in Holland), then I think the next CM would be THE BEST WWII game of the planet :D

    Well, I was just wondering about that ... :D

    I diagnosize all the symptoms of the Combat Mission virus. It generally contaminates people for years and fill your screen with strange and loud things that women don't seem to understand.

    Nice work ! I enjoyed much the plans showing the general situation progressing smile.gif

    With my WinMediaPlayer plugged on my TV I had a good time watching Combat Mission without having to do something smile.gif

    CM and wifi routers

    in Combat Mission - Tech Support

    Posted

    Alright, for my case, here is the solution I found (for a Netgear WGT624 router)

    First, go to the server's adress (for instance http://192.168.0.1)

    Then, in advanced settings click on Port Forwarding/Triggering. Open port 7023 in both forwarding and triggering options, for TCP mode.

    After that, I suggest you to reboot your computer

    Last, but not least, try this adress http://redwolf.dyndns.org/whatismyrealip/whatisyourip.cgi

    It will give the TRUE requested IP for your opponent to join your computer. Moreover there is a link just above to see if your port 7023 is open. This IP adress is very important !!!

    (btw I think it was your tip redwolf)

    Ta-da !!! Work fine for me !

    Hope it will be the same for others.

    In my opinion I'd prefer the tactical 3D system to be perfected before all that stuff.

    The (initial) main objective of the game is to simulate and even recreate historical engagements, am I wrong ?

    Eventually, that's the way I most appreciate CM. Playing historical and well-built scenarios is the most pleasant way of playing Combat Mission.

    A perfected system of operations, or something like that, would add much interest to the way you fight on the battle map. But not much more is necessry to make us happy if the 3D system itself is more realistic and eye-catching compared to CMx1.

    Two French 1940 questions for the Grogs

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    Characteristics :

    - Not especially broad (around 150/200 meters large in Paris, often not more than 100m)

    But it depends Whether you are in Rouen or in Sedan smile.gif

    - Absolutely not swift, maybe excepted in the the first 100 kilometers of the river

    - Narrow in the first 50 kilometers (well, only the source of the river smile.gif )

    - Generally fordable in the first 60 kilometers

    For the second question, I don't have any clear idea. I'd suppose they used wedge platoon formations, with small frontages. But the grogs will answer you better smile.gif

    Looking for accurate maps of Egypt.

    in Combat Mission - Scenario Talk

    Posted

    I am particularly amazed by the second link ...

    That's impressive ! It provides a sufficient zooming system to accurately see each road, path, houses or fields ...

    Thanks for your help 1stUkr.Front ! smile.gif

    Maybe the last time I ask for mapping resources ? :D (no, it's impossible by nature ...)

    As Sergei said, roads and even villages in Egypt, Lybia, Ex-USSR and Finland rarely changed since the war, at least in rural areas.

    Thanks again,

    Looking for accurate maps of Egypt.

    in Combat Mission - Scenario Talk

    Posted

    With the amout of scenarios made in the Egyptian desert, there will be surely somebody who can send me Egyptian maps covering the whole sector of El Alamein, to recreate the incredible story of a 19 year-old german soldier who earned the knight's cross after destroying 9 enemy tanks in a single battle.

    He was the youngest man to recieve that award.

    Thanks by advance,

    Paulus
