Hmmm - that's not supposed to be the case. I'd be happy to help, and see if we can make McMMM do it better if there's a way! Drop me an email if you like... GaJ

Grim just whipped me with a precision offensive pretty much by the book at Bridges ... nice scenario, but I'll be curious to know what a winning defensive strategy would be. If anyone thinks that the Axis have a chance, I'd like to take you on as Allies and you can show me what I should have done! (I guess the medal table tells us that the allies really ought to win... they don't even get a medal for a draw?) Well ... on to the Beach!

Are the byte battles somewhere else to be had, then? (Why do you have a link to a shut-down site in your sig?) GaJ

I was too, but I got shown that even tigers can be caught if they're not concentrating [ November 24, 2005, 03:56 AM: Message edited by: GreenAsJade ]

Are you telling me that TV is a Richie scenario!? Haha! Shoulda guessed! ANOTHER feather in Richie's outstanding-scenario-design cap (If true)!!! [ November 24, 2005, 02:37 AM: Message edited by: GreenAsJade ]

Any recommendations for CMAK battles?

dis link is broke

Can someone point me to where the not-Beta HSG scenarios can be found? I'd like to get The Sharp End in particular, and browse what other ones there are. Thanks!

I'm enjoying Bridges so far, though I'm getting wiped (when will I ever learn not to open fire too soon on defense!?!?!?) I haven't joined the forum 'cause I can't face one more registration!

One of the great things about ROW has been the innovation in scenario design. Nothing short of spectacular. And where there's innovation, occasionally there's going to be ones that don't quite work. The idea of a pre-started scenario ws fantastic in Wolf. It just didn't quite work in LfB. The pain of all those wreteched dead units clutterinig up the screen, and the pre-positioned setup wasn't offset by anything truly new in terms of scenario situation. Rather than feeling the desparation of the Wold commander trying to defend after that awful shock, LfB just engendered (as Michael described) a feeling of hopelessness. Might be realistic, but unfortunately not fun. GaJ

wicky - stunning work!

Are any of the actual tournament games still going on? We don't have to wait for the rest, right? They were just for extra results. If tourney games are still going on, let's kick off the slow person and replace them. I'm sure we can find stand-ins, or worst case just hit "go" to the end....

Like someone else said up there, Tiger Valley is worth the wait.

Save: ALT-S Abort (stay in CMBO): ALT-A Quit (exit CMBO): ALT-Q The game detects the resolution (with your help) the first time you start it. If it got it wrong, delete the file who's name ends in "Prefs" in the installation direction and start CMBO again. It will ask you whether you are running at the maximum resolution it detects. If this number is wrong, you have a problem. Otherwise, say "yes"! GaJ

Grim & I are starting up the 5-game plan. Any ETA for "Mod Set" definitions?

Are the battles each intended to be balanced, or does historicality or "place within the set/story" override balance as a priority? IE would a person looking for balanced battles not find what they're looking for in any of these scenarios? Ta, GaJJ.

I was waiting for this one. It proves (or at least is another example of) my theory: whenever you offer or suggest an *option*, someone will say "I don't want that" If it's an *option* then who cares that you don't want it? It only matters if it makes it worse than it would otherwise be for you...

I recently installed Google Desktop. I'm pretty sure that right after that, CMx1 started taking about twice as long to get through the "loading Graphics" screen. Has anyone else experienced this? Ta, GaJ

I think "technical support forum" is a good place to start: Harri perhaps doesn't want emails from every person who has a small problem, and maybe lots of people here know lots? Anyhow, is the game status listed as "Play" in PBEMH? (obvious question, but you never know). Instead of hitting F9, what happens if you double-click on that line in PBEMH? GAJ

People are going to have to learn fast map creation, eh? At the moment map creation is lovingly done and takes ages, and then those maps are playtested till they "work properly". Admittedly, the criteria for "works properly" are far more difficult for a standalone map than a tactical tile, but still, there's a fair bit of effort for every hand-drawn map. My impression is that you don't get to see the tactical map till you're pretty much committed to a battle on it. Which makes sense, since that's the only time you have troops there to actually look at it. GaJ

Is it the case that: - every tile in the CMC game has to have a tactical map to play CMBB on - all CMBB tactical maps have to be hand-made? (IE a campaign designer can't just ask CMBB to generate underlying maps). ? Thx, GaJ.

You know, it's funny: whenever there's a suggestion for some value-adding optional feature, someone always pops up and says "I don't care about that". I don't care whether you don't mind it or not: it would be _optional_ to use it, and I for one think that being able to put it in a window would be good! (On my laptop there is a perceptible delay when alt-tab swapping away from or to CMx1... this is irritating.) GaJ

Any idea whether CMx2 will be able to be run in a window? I got used to CMx1s not doing it, but it would be nice... GaJ
