There is an "Opponeny Finder Forum" a little farther down on the "Forums" page. Cheers!!

Thanks for the info Slappy!

I just started my first "operation" in CMBO and have a question regarding the disposition of enemy units at the end of battles. Towards the end of the first battle I had converged on a town square to find several AT and AA gun emplacements as well as a couple of MG bunkers. I decided to pull my units back since it was turn 23 of 25. I wanted to make sure that my units were properly resupplied and had heard that if your frontline units are too close to the enemy they might not get any or all of their ammo and replacements. I figured that since these enemy units could not travel far without being towed (there was only one transport which was destroyed on turn 24) I would assault them with infantry/mortars at the beginning of the next battle. I was a little surprised to find that these units, other than the MG bunkers, had vanished when turn 1 of the following battle started. My main question is: Were these units withdrawn and repositioned so that I will eventually have to deal with them later on in the battle, or are they removed from the field of battle completely? I as seriously thinking about reloading at turn 20 so that I can eliminate these units in close if I will be facing them later on at distance. I don't like to, and haven't yet on this operation, load up a saved game to make up for a mistake in judgement.

Thanks for the info guys!

What about a continuation of the war with the Western Allies versus the Soviet Union? Kinda goes something like this: Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt begin to have major disagreements on how Germany and the rest of Eastern Europe are being split up after the war ends. The tension and rhetoric really begin to heat up and leads to open hostility and eventually to all out war between the occupying Soviet and Western Allied forces. Most people are aware of how weary Churchill was of Stalin and his fears that the Soviets would dominate Eastern Europe after the war ended. Who do you think would win? This offers up some pretty interesting story lines IMHO.

Is there any way to mod the game so that your infantry will have unlimited ammo? I hate being in the middle of a big battle and have some of my squads run out of ammo at the most critical stage. Please don't beat me up too much on this but it will make the game more fun until I get my feet wet. Thanks!

Played my first battle versus the computer where I was able to deploy Pershing's. WOW!! What a difference when tangling with Tigers!! It's nice to be able to go toe-to-toe with the Germans heaviest tank and not get your brains beat out.

I recently bought CMBO: Special Edition and am having a little trouble when the game starts. If I let it run I get the little CDV intro and then it stalls. I read that it may have something to do with my PC not having QuickTime to view the intro movie. I tried holding down the "Spacebar" as it says to do in the manual but this does not work. If I press "Escape" to take me back to the desktop and then click on the CMBO icon on the toolbar it comes back to the correct screen and I can play without any further difficulties. Anybody have ideas???

Slappy: Yeah I think that is the one. You enter a small town on the way to Caen which is right next to the setup phase area. Just north of town are some bocage and directly behind them is some fields going slightly uphill. Once you crest the hill you look into a small valley with a river running through it. There are five flags, one in the small town at the beginning, two on the crest of the hill and one each on both sides of the valley. I captured all five flags and scored a "Total" victory. Score: Allied= 59 Axis= 9 Casualties: Allied= 32 Axis= 265 I sure as heck did not expect a rout. The computer gave it to me rather good my first 4-5 battles. Kind of a weird scenario if you play the Germans. 1) Almost all of the squads that I faced were either "Green" or "Conscripts". 2) NO armor at all! 3) Maybe 5-6 MG's and only two AT guns(50mm PAK 38's I think). I didn't lose any of my four tanks(three Shermans and a Firefly) which had been a major problem when facing off with German armor. One of the PAK 38's got the drop on one of my Sherman's and hit it three times and the Sherman still managed to take it out(ricochet, front turret hit, and another hit that flaked the armor). Since I am very new to this game it was nice to get a big victory under my belt. If you are new to this game give this battle a try, I really enjoyed it. I know that the game is very dynamic and you probably won't get the same ending twice but not having to deal with German armor was nice.

And I can't stop playing CMBO(except for maybe this post)!!!!!!!! I'm playing the "A Long and Bloody Mile" battle against the computer and it is going quite well. I came hard through the center of town and fast on the flanks with a little armor and caught the Germans in one hell of a cross fire. Eliminated six or seven squads and a few MG teams in the first 4-5 turns. On turn 12 now and have pushed them out of town and overrun a couple of platoon HQ's in the fields just outside of town(north?). Weird that almost all of the German squads are either "conscript" or "green" and break pretty quick. There must be some wicked surprises farther ahead, I haven't run into an easy scenario yet. If my luck holds out it will be a long and bloody mile mostly for the bad guys!! Uhhhh.........I gotta go, I think the Boss(wife) is tossing and turning wondering where I am. I better get some sleep so I can get up early and play some more. This game is gonna get me in BIG trouble but it will be well worth it!! Anybody remember playing this battle?

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I bought CMBO about a week ago and it has consumed ALL of my free time. I normally play "Commandos" type squad based games but CMBO looked interesting so I picked it up. When I am not playing it I am thinking about how to improve my strategy. The game has a fairly steep learning curve and I have had my a#% handed to me on a regular basis, but I keep coming back.
