I'm using the latest NVidia drivers+Win2kPro+DX9a and seemed to have fixed my frame rate hassles by turning off FSAA and ansiotropic filtering and texture sharpening. Haven't had time to try out any large battles but did seem to have success when playing a smallish (roughly two infantry companies, foggy weather) Russian amphibious assault battle. Before I switched off the above settings it was very very jerky when panning and scanning across the map but after turning off the above it seemed to me to go back to being quite smooth (well as smooth as CMBB ever was for me anyway). Hopefully that might help someone else. Cheers, Stonehouse

oops wrong thread sorry [ April 06, 2003, 09:13 PM: Message edited by: Stonehouse ]

Doh. The light dawns for me LOL. Sorry I totally misread the section on provisional force size calcs at least 4 times, must need more coffee and more sleep. The formula uses the battle TYPE not the large battle size modifier. So in my case the provisional points are 1078 * ((1 - 0) / 1.72) (Axis assault) so my points are 627. The battle size modifier of none I think is actually meant to mean a X1 on items 29-35. Ok that means I can do my first battle tonight Cheers and thanks for the help again, Stonehouse

Thanks History Buff. I'll try to do that again tonight when I get home from work - unfortunately I forgot to bring them with me this morning hehe made for a boring train trip to the office. Cheers, Stonehouse

Sorry I wasn't clear was I. That 425 pt figure was only the task force assigned to my core unit not the core unit itself & task force. So yes you're right and it should be 425 + 653 = 1078 * (1 - 0) / 1. Rereading the rules and guide again just now I'm really starting to believe that I'm on my ownsome for the first fight as the battle type modifier seems to apply to each line (29 - 35) but it would be nice to get that confirmed before I start the campaign with unnecessary casulties from a tough first battle.

Sorry to be totally thick, one more question on the provisional points for the task force. I've rolled up my parameters for my first battle an got something like the following for task force Inf 100 Veh 120 Arm 75 Art 130 The large battle result was None. Axis casulties was None. So I think this means I don't get a task force for my first battle - correct ? or do I get one of 425 pts? ie the provisional force size calculation is 425 * (1 - 0) / 1 (can't divide by zero so I assume that battle type none would be a 1 here) Thanks for enlightening us thick heads and I think this is definitely the best idea yet for CMBB.
