Yes, guess so, but also on the T-34 series it drew quite a heavy punch. Would it be possible to adjust these Marders from CMAK to CMBB?
-
I've just installed CMAK and the first thing that caught my attention was those superb Marder IIIr and Hs! So much better than the Marder III in CMBB! I would love to see them adjusted to CMBB by someone. The landscape is very nice as well. Just a first impression, but I had to ventilate my enthusiasm about those Marders! Excellent stuff.
-
And yes, after reading other topics I realize this is old, very old news...
-
According to CDV CMAK will be released tomorrow in Europe. War is upon us.
-
Well, this clearly has become a monologue, so better get back to the drawing board again...
-
Perhaps important to know that the saved games are still playable. Just the basic scenario can't be edited or opened anymore.
-
No luck, I'm afraid. I turned off all other programs but to no avail. Any more suggestions anyone?
-
The Norton files aren't really backups, they are copies of the files before they were changed and saved again. In theory that way I can always turn back changes. The parameters I've changed are the following. I've changed the attacker from Canadian to German and the direction from which they would attack from North to South. That's all. I usually play huge scenarios and even with 200% for one side (which this wasn't) I've never experienced any problem. I will do some tests by closing as many programs as possible, but I doubt whether that will make much difference. Still, it's worth trying, I agree. I will come back with the results tomorrow. Thanks again for your help.

Schrullenhaft, I've made a fresh install of CMBO, unmodded, but the problem is still the same. I would appreciate other possible suggestions, since I really would like to solve this problem. Sorry for being persistent and thanks in advance for your help.
-
Yes, the scenario has the maximum amount of units.I played it many times on this pc before.I can't change the parameters since I can't edit the scenario anymore. However I did reinstall earlier copies of the scenario (an option with Norton Utilities that I often used), so the old parameters should be restored that way.
I use the standard BTS/BFC 1.12 version. I use CMMOD and do have lots of mods installed. I haven't changed video or audio drivers. Thanks for your attention, Schrullenhaft.

Sorry, I did forget to mention that it is CMBO. It's a pretty big scenario, which I adjusted and played many times before. Before the problems began I changed some minor issues in Parameters. With Norton Utilities I also tried to install earlier versions of the scenario, since I feared the scenario file might have become corrupted or something, but no success. Help would be highly appreciated, since I've put a lot of time and energy in this scenario.
-
When I try to open one of my scenarios I get the following message: unhandled exception c 0000005 At adress; 00fe51
I never had this problem before, so can anybody explain what this means? And more importantly how to solve it?
-
Excellent work! From now on the Triple color Rough Panther A will be my favorite. I've just bought a Dragon kit from a late A from the HJ and it looks exactly like yours. Well done and many thanks!

I'm not so sure the Western Allies would have won. The Soviets had learned quite a lot against the end of the war and their ability to wage war would have been a nasty surprise. Everybody who has studied the fighting on the eastern front, especially from mid-1943 on, knows that the Russians would have been formidable enemies. I think they would have been a lot tougher than their American/British opponents. Britain was already weary of war in 1944 and I doubt whether Churchill or anyone else for that matter, could have convinced them of taking on Stalin (or Uncle joe, as western propaganda use to call that psycho). And whether American opinion would have accepted tens of thousands of dead GI's also remains very uncertain. The Red Army would probably have reached the English Channel and Western Europe would have bombed back into the stone age. The only soldier tough enough to stop the Soviets would have been the German Landser. Whether he still had the strength to do so in 1945 is doubtfull.
And I also don't understand the admiration for Patton. His achievements most certainly do not impress me. I think Zhukow, Konev and many other Soviet military leaders would have kicked his... And believe me, I hate to say something positive about the Red Army.

No demo yet. The game is still in development (they have been working on it for years). Only some screenshots on their website with more to come very soon. But just take the time to read the messages on the forum and you will appreciate that this is going to be one excellent wargame. Large maps, lots of units (division strength) and very realistic battle behaviour. I'm not sure but the release date will probably be the end of this year, or the beginning of 2004.

Since it will be no competition for Combat Mission (more comparable to Steel Panthers, but much more advanced), and will have the same high standards of realism I would like to ask some attention for this game at www.combatleader.net
Combat Leader will be a much, much improved version of Steel Panthers World at War and will focus on the eastern front, but other modules will be added latter on.
The information provided on the forum www.matrixgames.com/forums is very detailed and comparable to those on this forum. However for the sake of the development more expertise is needed in the form of healthy advise and criticism. I would like to ask those people who have this expertise to help the developers of Combat Leader with their comments, since this is another great wargame coming up and we all know how few there are around. I hope it is allowed to make some propaganda for this game, but I have the strong feeling that this new game will benefit from expert comments (they ask for it frequently, but for me the discussions are simply to complicated most of the time).

Yes, I've read this book and it is very good. This man knows what he is writing about. Hope to see more books by this author in the near future.
-
Wasn't it promised for the 12th of July? The birthday of Prochorowka?
-
I strongly recommend Decision in the Ukraine by George M.Nipe Jr. focusing on the II.SS Panzerkorps in the summer of 1943 with an excellent analysis of the tank battle of Prochorovka. Restayns book is also very good.

In the early stages of the winter war finnish conscripts repeatedly used to throw Molotov cocktails at soviet high-flying (20'000ft)level bombers , downing several of them
Whahahahahaa!
-
I'm not too keen on experimenting to be honest. Did you or anyone you know try it?
-
Interesting question. Can anyone tell me how to do that?Is there a PC equivalent to increasing the application's allocated memory on the mac? -
System specs: AMD Athlon 1,5 Ghz processor 512 MB memory, lots of GB and an good Geforce card. DirectX 9.0 and latest drivers installed.

I know I should post this in the Tech forum, but I don't get any response there. I have the following problem. I choose one of the huge scenarios, play as Germans, put the play balance for the Russians on 200%. Now this usually works, but sometimes the games simply freezes right after selecting 200%. When I select 200% for my own side (the Germans) I never have this problem. I know my system can handle this (it did so many times before), but from time to time I get this strange problem. Does anybody recognize this and even more important, is there an explanation/solution?
Whahahahahaa!
Decent Humber Scout Car for CMBO
in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord
Posted
Yeah, thanks Limey, much better. Only a couple of days ago I removed the old scout cars from a scenario because they were SO ugly. It was by far the ugliest vehicle in CMBO. The CMAK one looks superb.
