Sorry, I can't - all my CMBB stuff appears to have worked fine so far. But a direct appeal to MikeT might sort you out - he is now the designated CMMOS guru. He's doing a sterling job and is also very helpful ... which is nice. Teddy

Soddball has recently submitted his cunningly fiendish "Kneiber Dam" to the Scenario Depot - is this what you're referring to? I've just looked but can't seem to see it there, but it should be available any day now... Teddy

Probably booked another of his last minute "city breaks" to Amsterdam...

Hi Allan, I think I may have confused the issue. There are no seperate buttons on any of the tabs to activate these mods. Clicking US Army field drab/olive drab camouflaged in the US and Free French Vehicles tab leads to this... deleted Clicking 11th Armoured Division, British Army, in the Commonwealth Vehicles tab leads to this... deleted For what it's worth the contents of my RuleSet001 folder look like this: deleted Hope this helps, Teddy [ April 25, 2003, 05:43 PM: Message edited by: Edward Windsor ]

Off the top of my head, I don't think you need one. The mods show in my game and I'm just using the standard CMMOS 4.03. I assume I activated them by selecting one of the "general rule" buttons at the top of the page (my units are currently sporting a very fetching olive and drab paint job). Teddy

Sorry for the tardy reply, but I've only just noticed this. I may be able to help with a few of these.... Good. Sadly not. And you'll also find those Sherman mods are far from complete (search for a fairly recent thread on the CMBO forum for a detailed solution). Some CMBO mods can be added via CMMOS in their zipped form - the majority can't. Just unzip the troublesome items, select the bmps and dump them all in your CMBO bmp folder. This should then activate the CMMOS buttons and the mods can be switched in and out. Hopefully if you've not already solved the problem, this should point you in the right direction. It is worth the pain and effort though. Teddy

Dear Mr Dorosh, Just seen the link to your new website. Very nice. Teddy

You're welcome - glad to have been assistance. Teddy

Originally posted by Soddball: I've missed your witty banter, words of wisdom, tales of derring do and manly friendship, my little chum. Those halcyon evenings spent around an open fire, roasting our nuts, slapping each other’s thighs and wrestling in the tent. I’m feeling a little neglected since you tied the knot and have a vacant slot that you're more than welcome to fill. Whatever tickles your fancy is more than all right with me and I look forward to hearing from you once more, Yours, as always, Teddy

Hello Meach, Just double-click to launch the installer and direct it to your WAV folder at the appropriate moment. If you're running the CDV version of the game, you may have to browse to "Combat Mission 2" rather than "CMBB". If for some strange reason you don't like the new effects, all your old ones will have been backed up for you. Very neat. Teddy

Good luck, chaps, and have fun. Many apologies to Rex for not getting back to you sooner ... I'd been a naughty boy and mummy had locked me in the dungeon again. Teddy

Great sounds, well presented. You ought to take this up professionally... Thanks, Teddy

Well, I've just about recovered from my hangover. It was a beautiful ceremony and I won't forget the reception in a hurry. Mike the Wino looked wonderful in his off-the-shoulder taffeta number and long train, but it was a bit of a shock when he lifted the veil... Soddball wore a traditional morning suit and, as Matron of Honour, I splashed out on a new frock and hat. I have to admit I was very relieved the Best Man failed to show - I wasn't looking forward to a slow dance with MasterGoodale - although I don't think there was a dry eye in the house after the happy couple tripped the light fantastic to "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You." It was a day to cherish... Teddy

Well, sadly it doesn't get much more comprehensive than this... Thanks for organising the tourny Rex and well played Mr Pink ... a very worthy victor - I just hope you get your bottom soundly spanked in the next round. You've done so well I'm going to let you stop with the "cocounts" and start on the "coconuts". Mr Green

We're nearly there ... thoroughly drained after a hot and sweaty encounter, but about to reach a satisfying climax at any moment. Mr Green

I'm sorry, but I think you'll find it's SOP if you embark on a game with Soddball. May I be the first to congratulate you on your impending nuptials and I wish you all the best in becoming his first wife. If it's any consolation, just between you and me, after his nasty accident with the chainsaw I'm sure you'll die with your virginity intact. Toodle pip, Teddy

Thanks for the compliments, chaps. It's nice to know my cut and paste efforts weren't in vain... Teddy

Hello Rex. Hope you're managing to enjoy your career break as much as you can. We're currently ticking over at a turn or so a day and we're up to 27, although I think there's a fair chance we could go into time added on for sheer incompetence. I'm currently holding a couple of flags, but that's more a comment on how annoying I can be than a testament to my tactical genius or a true reflection of how the battle is going. If the need to start the second round is urgent, we can ceasefire to reveal who the lucky winner is. Chin chin, Mr Green

"Oh bugger..." he muttered. This reminded him of the time, as a child, when... Edited because I care. [ March 27, 2003, 05:46 AM: Message edited by: Edward Windsor ]

Hello Dave, It sounds like you might be better trying the Beyond Overlord demo. I think that will give you a much better idea what all the fuss is about. Teddy

It might be worth posting in the Tips and Tricks forum, too. Less traffic and it will give more people a chance to check it out. Teddy

It's the sole way I can persuade the idle buggers to get off their bottoms and show some enthusiasm for the task in hand. I've been outclassed and outplayed by Mr Pink and the only things greener than my moniker are my troops. I have a nasty feeling the best man is going through to the next round ... life can be so unfair. Teddy

Well designed, well organised site. I'm not competent enough myself to comment on the AARs, although I thought the Infantry Advance was interesting. I'm not sure about the "Pictures of Me" section ... you can't be too careful and Soddball has a real thing about "bad guy cowboys". Toodle-pip, Teddy

...which sounded perfect, as he didn't have any chums of his own. He checked his box of tissues and pulled his stained cloak around him as the bitter north wind lashed freezing rain in his face. He limped to the ticket booth and fumbled in his pocket for a dollar, hands trembling with cold and anticipation...

I have indeed turned the corner ... and been hit by a truck. I'm currently being swept out to sea by the tide and I forgot to pack my water wings. Mr Green
