Will there be any change to the campaign structure of the game ?

As its the same game engine I doubt it, but the ability to carry forward units from battle to battle would be excellent.

If it could be done being able to import all one sides 'servicable' units from a saved game and then use remaining points to top-up would make a good addition to the campaing play.

I'am suprised nobodys mentioned this yet, this is the main feature I want please consider it BFC

[CMAK (Feasible) Wishlist]

Dear BFC please may I have the following:

1. An option to turn a time limit in the orders phase, I enjoy it in Tcp/ip so why not put a option in SP

2.When gun crews abandon there gun because of heavy fire and route I would like to order the crew to man it again after they recover, I dont know weather this one could work but could be nice

3.Gurkas!!!!!!!!

4.Better operations and possibly a campign

5.big sand worms that come out the sand and eat your tigers :eek: , mayby not realistic but would be fun

I've been good all year

these are just Ideas nobody else has mentioned I want all the others mentioned too PLAESE!!

[Any good sites on.......?]

Now that CMAK is on its way I would like to get studying the north afrika front and Italy etc as I havent read much on these fronts so before I go digging out books at my local libary is there any good sites out there on the subject

thanks in advance

[New Combat Mission game Announced. Combat Mission: Afrika Korps!!!]

whoooo Iam getting giddy like a little girl, this is a nice suprise considering I wasnt accepting a new Cm game till 2004 at least

one Q though,north afrika and the pacific theatre are the fronts that I've not really looked into but Iam guessing that desert warfare is simaler to the steppes on the eastern front which I generally find bores me will the open desert be the focus for most of the scenarios?or will they be as varied as CMBB.

thanks

Ash Slater

Edit: To say well done to BFC for bringing a new CM while working on the new engine I've already started to fill my piggy bank

[Wow...Finally beated the demo!]

I thought the game was broken it was so hard :mad: and iam sure I can say that most of the vets took a few good beatings in the two demo scenarios as for your Q I too took advantage of the armour as the large open spaces arent ideal for conscript infantry but I found small advances from cover to cover while useing covering fire worked fairly well , Once close enough try and gain fire Superiority by going through all your squads and making sure there shoting at something prefbly at the germans but assaulting the flags was where i often got stuck mayby someone can fill in, I aint no tactician but thats the way I went to archive some sucess

['use explosives']

That sure as hell would be fun!

If BFC stays in WWII, I hope they put the whole magilla in one game, East, West, and Med. 39-45 all three fronts.

you got my vote, even if it used the current engine suped up a bit it would be worth the wait, two years though, I could be hit by a bus next week and never see a CM3 :eek:

dont know if I could live with that!

[Creating outside the box!]

thanks hans ill be sure to download now and give em a blast a couple of Q's though

"Task Force Smith" how does this work with CMBB?

and are these Scenarios large scale (company upwards)?

[Question about minefields]

thats your problem there, target the mine sign thingy and on the target line something like "Target ATM" should appear then they should lob some HE that way, try a test with the scenario editor

[Question about minefields]

Did you target the mines?

[Artillery and suppression.]

I woulda thought that rockets would have a higher suppresion than artillary with the same blast value because I've read first hand accounts of the sound scaring the sh*#t outta crack super troopers

[Creating outside the box!]

Originally posted by Dr. Rosenrosen:

I like both those ideas for scenarios. I'm not sure what you mean about "outside the box" though. Are you referring to smaller engagements with more dramatic context in the briefings? What "regular scripts" are there that your ideas deviate from?

Dr. Rosenrosen

Hi Dr.Rosenrosen,

What I mean when I say outside the box and regular script is that most scenarios when striped down are one of the four Assault,Attack,probe and ME I'am not saying that this is bad but you could make Scenarios such as the couple of one's I described hence "Thinking outside the box" and yes the briefing would have a lot to do with it, like I said above the possibilitys are endless

[Creating outside the box!]

I'am far from a scenario designer or at least a good one but I'am always thinking up what I think to be good ideas for scenarios, what I'am getting at is why is no one designing scenarios outside the regular scripts, an example: an elite platoon of pioneers attack a weakly protected bridge at night and maybe take out some bunkers or maybe a partisan group attacking a garrison of sleeping german troops who recently took there villege the possibiltys are endless, they dont have to be historical but I'am sure a good scenario designers could make them a lot of fun, it could be worth a look into anyways.

[Close to 700MB lost!!]

I've just checked my E-mail and found a NZ player willing to send the Mods etc which is great cause hes only 60 odd k's down the highway, now i can get my life back, iam quiting the drinking and after a QB see if the Girlfreind wants to come back ( they just dont understand what its like )

[Close to 700MB lost!!]

I would of asked but i've just recently emergrated to New Zealand from england and I only now of one other CM player in NZ but hes just recently moved to aussie ( god knows why )

[Close to 700MB lost!!]

ok ok this isnt really important to any of you here but I need somewhere to moan. I just had crash on my pc two weeks ago ( First ever on this PC) and so I 've lost close to 700mb of mods maps patches for both CMBO and CMBB which I've been collecting since CMBO on a very poor and very very slow 56k modem and gotter admit Iam a mod addict, If only they had help lines for such things . oh well thats ma moan i just had to get out, I'am of shopping now for some of those bran spanking new mods I've missed

[Can you access www.freeport-tech.com/WWII ?]

Forbiden access here too :confused:

[BCR V2.0 gold? when can I get it?]

I'am just wondering when can I get my hands on the Biltongs Campaign Rules V2.0 gold I read in another thread that it'll be New user freindly which I've been dreaming of since I tried to get my head around the rules ( which i didnt ) :confused: but I desprately want to get this so any help and info would be great. Thanks in advance

[Why Does LOS Affect Artillary Accuracy?]

ok so if a FO is out of los then shouldnt he not see the artillary fall? or be allowed to adjust it

[Why Does LOS Affect Artillary Accuracy?]

I've really got no idea how an FO would call for artillary but I'am guessing he would give a map grid refrence so how would LOS effect this if the FO nows the Grid reference to hit it cant be that he cant see the area because it'll be on the map. Just wondering if this is right :confused:

["Must have" mods ?]

Terrain mods are a must since u see terrain every battle you play try tanks a lot's trees and trees bases and Juju building mods espacially his Factory one and then go to CMHQ and grab CMMOS and ALL the mods there.

[Range and Use of Panzerschreck?]

In CMBB Shreks are the most effective AT weapon in my opinion I much rather have lots of shreks than two or three guns, I've see on a regular basis IS 2's explode because of these little devils. Just thought ill add this because I truly worship them.
