    Game wont open after installation (win11)

    Hi Hafer. Any Combat Mission game that you have that uses Game Engine 4 has only 1 download that is needed to install the entire game. You never have to do the convoluted step by step installation process ever again. In the case of CMFB, the only thing that you need to download and install the entire game is the Upgrade 2 download that you have listed. It will install the base game, the 4.0 Upgrade and every patch right up to 2.03 patch. Then use the Activate New Products utility and enter the base game and 4.0 keys.

    Thank you for your quick reply! 🙂

    The "uprade 4" is just 45.8 mb big. I installed it and clicked the "Activate New Products"-link. But it only opened and empty black command prompt for a few seconds and nothing happend.

    Elvis is the best cure for such ailments @BFCElvis.

    Thank you! I love the battlefront support. But at the moment i have no more energy to invest (sorry, i am an old man).

    I tried to open "Activate new products" but it only opend the command prompt for a few seconds.

    I took a look at kaspersky and checked other things - no success.

    Red Thunder is running without problems.

    I ve read a few books about peiper and stuff so i tried to play the campaign again.
    I will switch to an hexbase game to have things running.

    Hi folks,

    maybe its not the right time to post cause i`m really upset.

    Anyway.

    New PC.

    • I installed CMFB and try to start the game - nothing happend.
    • Applied patches, upgrades - nothing happend.
    • Used Admin mode - nothing happend.

    And with all those different files its not easy to find the right order.

    I CANT PLAY THE GAME CAUSE NOTHIN HAPPENS 😞

    I have almost any CM-title since the beginning.
    I love them all.
    But i really hate those upgrade/activation stuff - sorry.

    Cheers
    Hafer

    Can't clear the forest / FR The Battle of Tukums (german side)

    in Combat Mission Red Thunder

    Posted

    Oh well, finally. After lots of tries and reloads. Cant imagine. 2/3 of the time was incredible hard. The last 1/3 was a slaughterhouse - for the russians.

    The "green" german infantry were most of the time pretty useless. Only when the path was cleared from enemys they could andvance.

    Only a few shots taken from (one) enemy and they got shaken.

    The only thing working for me was a "tank scan" even through forests. In line-formation ww1-style scanning the area.

    the funny thing is: even if i used ship-arty in combination with surpression-fire the enemy AT-guns kept fireing. Incredible. The area around the AT-gun was scattered with crates, but the AT-gun-crew - sometimes only one soldier - kept fireing. That was the hardest time form me. And because of the preparation time for the arty-crews the time was running fast for me.

    Erm, I started but RL interfered.  Interested in your findings (and those of others).

    My findings after hours in this brilliant scenario:

    1. The forest is a hard nut. But with tanks and infantry it is possible to take it.
    2. The biggest thread are the well placed and hidden 76mm russians Paks.
    3. The only way to defeat them (for my) are my stugs fireing out of deep in the forests.
    4. Arty takes too long, Inf has not the range

    Puhh, i`m getting really mad. Tried fighting the enemy about the whole day. No success. The paks are too precice. My soldiers are too weak ("green" experience). I thing i`ll give up in the next turns. How can i neutralize those paks? My tanks are blind idiots. My infantry cannot reach them. My arty is too slow and not precise. 

    I'm playing CM round about 25 years now and i`m a f*** noob 😉

    MUCH harder. We all cried.  🙂

    I didn't design it, but I can tell you that using a couple of tanks for fire support to clear the woods really helped. How to do it is up to you. 

    Dave

    I tried this, too. It works quite good. But it has a huge risk: Losing a tank. That happend to me.

    And overall, i'm not feeling good/right using tanks in forests.

    Your Platoons to the left are "green" - thats one of the problems.

    Hi,

    i got really big problems clearing the forest in the west. It tried many tactics:

    1. Used small recon teams, then advanced with 2 Platoons (with/without tank support)
    2. Soften the enemy with long barrage 105mm arty
    3. Tried entering with big smoke screen (arty)
    4. Used different movment tactics hunt, slow,...
    5. Concentrated firepower on small spots

    But everytime there are some badass russians blowing out whole squads. It gets a bit frustrating..

    Did someone tried this mission (first of the campaign)?

    Cheers

    CTD

    in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg

    Posted

    Hi there,

    in my last games i had several ctd suddenly after a few turns in the middle of a turn. I dunno why. It has been a while since i last played Final Blitzkrieg. And it was a fresh install with all the patches. With SF2 i had no problems or ctd. 

    Anyone experienced the same?

    Cheers

    Just a "thank you Battlefront"

    in Combat Mission - General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Hafer

    Hi sirs,

    well i played the CM-series since my college times round about 17 years ago. I started with CMBO and was stunned since the first minutes playing the game. Fu** fun and fu** realistic!

    It was a unique product and it still is. You cant find anything similar. And no, you can't compare it to the Graviteam stuff (i own almost everything) which is rather arcade (*sorry*) I  played almost any pc-wargame on the planet (all the Matrix-stuff, hps, vic-design,...) but with no one i spend nearly as much time as i spend with the mighty Combat Mission series!

    Thank you battlefront for giving us such a fine wargame-series!
    (thank you all of you modders for supporting the series)

    Cheers, Hafer

    Hi,

    in 2009 i bought  CMSF1+Marines bundle. It's not installed anymore

    Now i bought the upgrade CMSF2. I installed the 2GB download. After clicking the game-icon the activation window appears. I typed in the code i got by e-mail. and it stated "success" - base game activated. I clicked the play-button in the middle of the window. Then the window dissappeared and after a few seconds another window appeared with just a picture fireing tank inside. Then nothing happend......

    What i am doing wrong!

    Thank you guys! 🙂

    Solution: I tried to type in my old CMSF activation code - now it worked. You have to type in both (new + old) codes.. ,))

    Rattled......why whole squad?

    in Combat Mission Final Blitzkrieg

    Posted · Edited by Hafer

    A few guys of my squad entered a building as part of an assault operations. Suddenly two guys of the squad (the ouside ones) get shot. Now all men of the squad got stunned. And finally the guys inside the building started running into the open and get shot, too. 

    I know this behaviour in the cm series. But sometimes im shaking my head...wtf!

    Cheers, Hafer
