Reading "Thunder Run" at the moment - I would have liked to build some maps of Highway interchanges with roads over roads for some ambush style scenarios. [ August 01, 2007, 03:36 AM: Message edited by: Melnibone ]

Why can't you use the Hunt command refined with a target arc if necessary? [ August 01, 2007, 03:32 AM: Message edited by: Melnibone ]

Explain how you think the command should work. Exactly like in CMX1? If so this discussion is pointless as you are asking for a broken command to be replicated. If you would like a working Hulldown command perhaps you could explain how you would like the mechanics of the command to work. Hulldown to what?

It's not a question of like or dislike. The command did NOT work at all well in CMX1 - simple as that. Search the CMX1 forums for many discussions on why it did not work.

Smoking is bad for you. Good spot.

The command did not work very well in CMBB at all. Most players I know never used it as far better results were gained by manually doing it. Not everything worked in CMX1 as well as you guys seem to make out. Why replicate a command that never worked in the first place? If you put some thought into what you are asking for a hulldown command you may be enlightened. Hulldown to what? A hill on the horizon - or the valley on the horizon. Or are you advocating being able to select a specific spot that you want to be hull down to?

Final tutorial campaign game - at work at the moment so no screenshots

Strange - it always seems to work for me.

When you put a waypoint in building it asks you what floor it should go on. Upon reaching a waypoint infantry reorganise - if the waypint is next to a bulding this may mean some of them "reorganising" into it I guess - or they needed to use the bathroom.

lol...there is quite a lot of looking back at CMX1 with rose tinted spectacles going on at the moment.

It looks like a bug to me - well spotted.

IMHO the CM1 Hulldown command was flawed anyway - Better results were always achieved by judging it manually. I never used it. Shoot and scoot, however, is a loss.

I like the writers style.

Great looking maps Sir!

Interesting point Cid250. I know Combat Flight Sim 3's AI was better the more powerful your PC was. I'd not thought of the the new one minute processing for WEGO as a downside before - but I guess it could be seen as a limit to the possible AI calculations.

Sweet - I'd missed that.

Agree completely sgtgoody - I ran through the tutorial campaign without any manual and found the cameras and UI OK. That was WEGO though - maybe that makes a difference.

Buy a magnifying glass?

I think you see that on the lowest level of hardness - it is the covered arc that they have been setup - ifyou move up to Vet or Elite you don't see it - I think!

Are you willing to let us know the scenario names? I've not tried any yet.

According to the manual (page 54) - infantry will halt at each waypoint for a short time and regroup. I suspect cancelling a move is the same as a final waypoint - they are regrouping.

Stop it - my ribs can't take much more of this punishment.

Why do BFC hate you so much?

I have a spare sense of humour boxed up in my garage if you need it.
