Great work! I have been using the excellent rubble by "gyrene"; it will now be nice to alternate the two. Question: I think the stock "roadblock" needs similar texture. Is it "moddable"??

Very professionally produced; original wav files are backed up (correct?) and there is an uninstall feature (which I won't be using ). One small request for a future addition: I think the stock "molotov" sound is much too tame. I believe there should be a "WHOOSH" after the breaking glass sound(?). And, no, I have not conducted any actual experiments...

If buying only one and assuming price is equal (it isn't ) which of these titles would you recommend and why? The Battle of Karkov, Winter 1942-1943 by Jean Restayn Platz der Liebstandarte by Remy Spezzano Many thanks!

Thank you, Mike, for fulfilling my request in such a deligtful way! Outstanding work! Can't wait to try out a Steppe senario with vast fields of sunflowers....

From "Stalingrad" by Beevor, p.90-91, a German panzer commander describes an attack on a KV: "The Russian heavy tanks scattered, except for one which had lost a track; its traverse mechanism had jammed, so the turret could not turn. 'We lined up behind it and started to shoot. We counted our hits on this tank, but none of them penetrated the armour. Then, I saw the hatch of the tank move. I guessed that they wanted to surrender, so over the radio I told my company to cease fire. The Russians...climbed out. 'The crew were totally confused, shaken and deafened, but not one of them was even wounded. 'It was depressing to realize how inferior our tank guns were.' "

Wow! "Ask and you shall receive" is very much alive here! Thanks to you all and I'm looking forward to downloading...

...they seem to be a common feature of the Russian landscape in movies and in historical accounts. Is it possible for one of you modders to transform the "wheat" bitmaps into sunflowers??

Thanks, Schrullenhaft. Looking at the files in Explorer everything seems to be installed with two possible exceptions: I don't see a "Prefs" file in any folder and in the Open Play Module folder only one file is visible, "TCPIP.lib" of 35kb size, however, a check of "Properties" says there are two files in this folder containing a total of 136 kbs. So, two more questions: where should "Prefs" be and shouldn't I be able to "see" the other file in the Open Play folder or at least see that it has "136 kbs"? (As for the "Unhanded exception" error, I think this machine only has DirectX6; if the error is a DX problem the "main" machine has DX8 or 8.1 [whatever is current] so maybe it will be able to "get a hand on things" so to speak ??)

While waiting for the replacement CD and eager to get into CMBB I just tried a new approach. I have a P2 400, Win98, machine that we use for internet stuff (formerly my top of the line gaming machine and the home of CMBO for many months ); the CMBB CD, which will not run completely on my new "top of the line gaming machine" (well, it was for a couple of weeks, a year ago ), installs perfectly on the old machine; all files in all their folders, HOWEVER, (you knew that was coming) when I attempt to run the game up pops this message: "Unhandled exception; Unhandled exception: c0000005, At address: 00570100"; acknowledging this message results in: "This program has performed an illegal operation, bla, bla". My question: if I transfer the CMBB files to the other machine is there something inherent in the "Unhandled exception" message that makes it likely that CMBB will not run there also?

I'm having the "Installer Blues" also. While waiting on the sure to come "fix" I have tried the manual install procedure, per page 242 of the manual, but all I can "see" on the CD is the Installer itself, no induvidual file folders. Attempts to open the Installer just cause it to start "installing" with resulting crash. How do I access the files on the CD??? I have Windows ME. Many thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, Bill! Russian Battlefield is one of my favorites but none of the material is from the site I described. That content was unique in my experience. Just finished "Kommerscheidt Crisis": exciting and a lot of fun (which is the norm for your senarios... ).

Hello all. Approximately 1-2 years ago someone included a url for a Russian site in a posting here. The site was in English or, at least, had an English version. I lost it in a hard drive crash ("backup" is not just for automobiles!). Not to make this request too easy, , all I can tell you is that the site was in multiple pages, centering around relics from the Reichstag and Reichs Chancellery (spoons & plates come to mind); pictures from a Russian officer's album of the exterior of the Chancellery immedately post-Occupation were featured. Almost all of the many images on the site were "clickable" for large size versions and very crisply reproduced. The home page featured a multiple-shot sequence of the cyclorama in the Central Museum of the Red Army called, I believe, "Storming of the Reichstag". The pictures of the cyclorama are the primary reason I would like to find this site again. I have "Google-ed" in all the possible permutations I can think of and searched the attic of this forum in vain. Thanks for reading..Help????
