I more or less have the same problem. I tried to download it via Download Mage. After about 5 megs, the host directory location changes.

Agreed, you all have made some great points regarding LOS tool from places other that your unit. However, it would be nice, using the same principal, to get a COT (circle of topography) if not directed from a selected unit. OK, you can scan over the map at the lowest detail to get "potential" LOS's. COT can only be used realistically of the higher views when your looking down. Using the standard map colour coordination (blue, green, brown yellow white, clever shading, mentioned before, etc), you could get a flavour of the hills. I know that there are no moutain ranges or great chasms in the battle maps, but it could be done, say a different color per metre. I believe this is not an unrealistic feature, rather, its aids the camera, an allows the user to "see" depressions on the map enabling troops to navigate easier, rather than mousing along at the lowest level, looking all around, seeing if they can be spotted. If find that very time consuming.

Please Please Please I would love a LOS tool to be incorporated in the next patched version of CMBB. The tool is not a line but a circle. The centre point is where the line of sight relates to. You click on any spot and the circle moves to that point. All visible LOS from that point would be colored in the usual color for the LOS tool. You might get a star burst effect, with all the "blind spots" spots clearly seen. You can increase the size of the circle using the mouse wheel, or similar keystroke. This would be especially handy if you placed the COV (circle of vision) infront of a moving target, say where you expect it to be in 1 or 2 turns time, inorder to get your men ready for an ambush. Thanks in advance Rory

Yes, right clicking anywhere on the map will bring up the line of sight tool (when no command is being set). I find it frustrating when I want to move a tank or some men into a postion. Maybe an option for Infantry would be "snipe", similar to hull down ?

I had the same problem with my system. I downloaded the NVidia drivers version 41.04 and worked great. It even speeded up the camera scrolling and the trees look great !
