Hi All In a Pbem between pcelt and moi we have set up a QB set in Snowy conditions. Upon reading the manual I/we understand that AFVs can get bogged down in such conditions (based on grd pressure etc) All very realistic stuff it must be said What we do not read is if the particular movement order an AFV operates under has any bearing on the chance of getting stuck ? Ie is Fast Move more likely to cause bogging than say Hunt ? Conversely do any of the movement orders affect ability/chance to unbog such as reversing from bogged posistion or ? Any info/experience of same in CM would be appreciated before our AFVs find themselves up to their turrets in white fluffy stuff This game and this forum are taking over my life !!

Hi <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Purple4Ever: Currently, all units use the same "generic" base "*.bmp" file (particular to the nationality, of course - gray, green, etc.) Personally, I'm going to find the unit base bmp files in CM and modify them so they are similar to the ones found in the East/West Front series (stars for US, balkan cross for germany, etc.)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Check out a previous couple threads ref this very item. I asked if anyone could find the .Bmp (as i could not) and it would seem the game engine 'draws' these coloured polygons (?) in some other fashion not 'tweakable' by the uniniatiated ? I was trying to do as you suggest ie National flags as bases. But alas and alack we are thwarted Cheers ------------------ Sgt Steiner Belfast NI UK

Hi David et al

Hi all My five (well only 3 actually) in no particular order 1. Further tweak to TacAI ref Tanks in particular firing on any visible Inf targets (possibly an optional setting for each Afv to 'encourage' it to prioritize targets at behest of player) 2. Less destructive hits on Tanks from indirect HE/Mtrs in general (maybe up amount/degree of suppression caused as counter balance) 3. Better unit bases (maybe based on national flags) I do wish all PC games were as polished upon first release as CM. Most players are asking for tweaks to system/stats rather than anything radical (Tcp/Ip is radical I supposse but it has been already promised) Salutations ------------------ Sgt Steiner Belfast NI UK

Hi Fionn et al Simply find the BMP file and change the colour yourself. It should take about 4 minutes to complete.

Hi can anyone enlighten me as to which .Bmp file relates to the 'under-unit' bases ? I would like to change them slightly if possible (ie possibly to National Flags/colours) rather than the current plain types they are. The German gray base is very dull and hard to see (at least with my ailing mark one eyeballs) I have a sneaky susipicion that these files are not part of install and run of CD am I correct ?

Hi all Dont you just love polls Other PC games which vy for my time with CM are : East/West Fronts and Rising Sun European Air War Panzer Commander SM Gettytsburg BG Waterloo/NIR and Bulge Close Combat II/III & IV Swat 3 Age Of Empires I & II Mech Warrior 3 I used to play a lot more but have cut back a tad As a sub-poll how many of you chaps play/have played Board Wargames (SL/ASL/PB/PL etc)? I own about 70+ but cant remember last time I played one ! Also do any play using Miniatures (big in UK) ? I am still very active in this regard (in fact playing a 15mm WWII game tomorrow) Cheers ------------------ Sgt Steiner Belfast NI UK
