Sorry for being dense here. Which program settings? Am I using CMFI itself, Nvidia Control Panel, or some other program? Thanks, Gerry

I think it's great the games try and be as historically accurate as possible. I love history, although I am not well read in these matters compared to so many on here. Gerry

It erupted on March 21! Gerry

Each to his own said the man when he ... (well you know the rest). Gerry

That damn bocage is very double edged though. I am attacking into it in CMBN in a PBEM now and the number of times that a small force of defenders, maybe even one, can stop a bunch of attackers is really frustrating. My opponent's defenders always seem buried in the bocage. And you don't always have spare artillery, or time for it, to take them out. Gerry

Hello: How do you get to this screen to configure display settings for one program (CMFI)? Thanks, Gerry

This seems to be more precise in v2. In v1 it seemed to me the camera overshot the point by quite a bit. Gerry

Hello: I think I figured it out. The hotkeys files in CMBN and CMFI seem compatible. I just need to add entries for "target armor arc" and "target briefly" to the CMFI file. Does that seem right? Thanks, Gerry

Hello: For CMBN I have set up the Hotkeys file the way I like it. Can I just copy this over for CMFI and it will work. IOW, there are no architectural changes relating to hotkeys (Other than the Options menu ability)? I realize I can use the menu to customize hotkeys buy I would like to take care of a bunch at once with the file. Thanks, Gerry

Might have missed it. Are there going to be Scenario Packs? Good missions and more of them are just as important as gizmos for me at least. Gerry

Hello: When will the download-only version be available? Thanks, Gerry

CMBN, CMEF1, and CMFI are / will be separate games with their own modules. The other CDs that go into the CMBN box are CMCW and CMMG (maybe an odds and ends modules too?). Gerry

Thanks for the answer. I think the only way to get around the balance problems, other than the design of victory conditions, is to playtest and tweak extensively. And this amount of work may be the prohibitive factor? Wondering which campaigns you refer to below when you mention they are horribly unbalanced? Thanks, Gerry

Hello All: I would love to see H2H campaigns developed for the game by BFC. (Kinda like the ASL Red Barricades, etc. – you fight multiple scenarios over the same terrain). I did not have Cmx1 but I think they were called Operations there? Despite the lovely history in the CMBN campaigns, I just cannot get into them. I really need a human opponent to get into the game. Hoping, Gerry

Thanks. That is very helpful. "We will not support games that are two Versions old or older." I had not heard this part before but it could be me. This practice is standard in the software industry I think. Gerry

Hello: Curious if there will be a demo. Thanks, Gerry

In terms of Acquire, can you go back to the same truck/HT multiple times and acquire remaining ammunition? I could be doing something wrong but IIRC when I sent a second unit back to Acquire, it didn't work with that same truck/HT. Thanks, Gerry

Hello All: When "Unit Lock" is on, and the unit is in a building, it is easy to swivel the camera around that unit and get a 360 picture of that building. When a unit is not in a building I cannot see how to do this. One needs to plan ahead in a town by checking where doors and windows are in the buildings. So I would like to be able to "unit lock" a bit of terrain, say a building, and then be able to swivel the camera around it for a 360 view. Gerry

Lots of stone walls in the west of Ireland, County Galway as an example. Farms are very small and there were plenty of stones in the fields. Fields were improved / made tillable by removing these stones. Misspent some of my youth fixing some of them up. In other parts of Ireland there are far fewer stone walls. Gerry

Just looking for recommendations. I am a slow reader so need to get prepared for the eastern Front game! Really hoping there is something other than Glantz. Gerry QUOTE=Artofwar;1373011]Gerry how is it you have time to read ... where you work at a library ???

Hello All: I believe the first Eastern Front game will cover Operation Bagration and then on through the conclusion of the war on the eastern front. Any book recommendations? I am probably not ready for Glantz-type stuff yet. I have not read much on the early years of the eastern front. I assume it's OK to dive in at any period? IOW, I shouldn't have to read Barbarossa first, etc. Thanks in advance, Gerry

Hello All: Any good recommendations for reading about Sicily. Could also include the mainland. Nothing too dense preferably. Thanks in advance, Gerry

It looks like something from "Sleeper". Gerry

Thanks to all for the recommendations. Funny to see mj's take on himself. I have always been interested in WW II, seen lots of footage, but only started reading some history in the laters years. I am amazed at the knowledge of many posters and this thread just shows why they know so much. Anyway, I look forward to reading more, even if I am 100+ books behind. Gerry

What about the icons? It looked in the screenshots for Bil's AAR that the Italians were using the same colored icons as the Germans. Thanks, Gerry
