I have exactly the same problem with BO and BB (but not CMAK for some reason). It really is very annoying- is there anyway to fix it?

Hi - I'd be interested to give it a try - would you mind please emailing it to me Regards

Anyone mind me asking when the last time Master Goodale posted in these parts? Personally, I miss him.

Sure - sounds good - let's do it - got any preference re how to set up? i've not done any bidding before so not 100% sure how that works. have previously only played x2 games v human - both against the same regular occupant of these boards who's whipped my ass twice now! Email me on smithstacey29@aol.com if you're still interested - i'll look forward to it regards

Hi Can anyone please explain which hexes (precisely which!) are the 'elbow' hex and the 'first blood' hex - I read about them all the time in the AARs but never know exactly which ones are referred to. Also, I saw in a recent AAR that somebody (Rambo or DragonHeart, I think) took Warsaw nd hit Denmark in turn 1 (although admitedly Poland didn't fall) and was still able to attack LC and take it on turn 2. How is this possible? I can't even take Warsaw on turn 1 v. the AI let alone the rest of it - I have to settle for knocking out as much of the Polish army as possible unit by unit and none of this amazing 1 turn capitulation stuff. Can anyone give me any clues? Regards

I've never seen a tank m/g jam in CM - do they? Incidently, I presume an m/g in a tank is just as likely to jam as any other - is that correct? Apologies if this is a daft question

I second the above - have been having similar problems myself - am interested to hear what settings other people are playing North Africa on

Excellent post - very interesting

Can anyone please tell me if the "Must have Winter dirt track/road" mod on CMMods (sorry, i couldn't find it to give the Author's name) is compatible with CMBO - can I transfer it there too? Also, how would i find out normally - is there any way of telling from the information on CMMods? Thanks

JJL - just curious to know how you got on - did the Armoured Car end up in flames afterall that?!!

Looks like I asked a daft question!

Not sure if this is the right forum or not but what the hell.......... I read a reference last night to German MG45s being developed and used late in the war. Is this correct? I've only previously heard about MG34s and MG42s so what's with the MG45 - did it exist or is my book incorrect? If it did exist, can I ask: (1)when was it introduced, (2)did it see action in any front in WW2, (3)what was the difference between it and its older brethren and (4) most important question of all, is it modelled in any version of CM anywhere? Apologies if this is long winded and thanks in advance

Thanks very much for that - not sure what my system spec is off hand - is there any easy way of finding out? (I threw the box away almost immediately!)

Thanks for that. What exactly is the difference between the 2 resolutions - if I amend my preferences to 1024 x 724, will I be getting improved graphics? If so, is there a flip side - reduced frame rate perhaps? Or will CM simply not run on 1024 x 742 for me if my PC isn't geared up for it?

How do I set my graphics to the 1024 x 742 setting? At the moment I'm on the other setting currently (800 by something or other - I'm not sure off hand). What is the practical difference between the 2 settings?Is one a default setting based on the age/speed of your PC? Confused but grateful in advance

I play it and love it - don't have enough time for CM and SC though, more's the pity.

Cool - am definitely going to download this. Not sure if this is a stupid question vbut does this only work for CM:BB? If so, is there also a similar version for CM:BO (and CM:AK)?

I have OS 9 on my laptop, but not on my desktop, so I will try that. Thanks very much

Hi again - thanks for that. My system is a PowerPC G4, with a Machine speed of 1 Ghz. RAM memory 256 MB. It has Mac OS X 10.2.3 (6H60) number of processors 1 Bus speed 133 MHz I don't know what video card it uses (how do I find out?!!) - but I think it must use the standard desktop Mac G4 graphics card. Thanks again

I have recently purchased CM:BO for the Mac but when I came to install it last night, I can't load the game. I have tried both of my Mac computers (desktop and laptop) and the same thing happens - when it gets to the point where it says "loading 3D graphics", and plays some explosion noises etc, it basically stalls - one time I left it for 10 minutes and it still won't load. I've gone through the manual, deinstalled it and tried again, tried decreasing screen resolution to minimum and everything else I could think of but it still won't work. Very strange and very frustrating, the manual talks about G3 and G4 Macs, both of which I have. Can anyone hlep/have any suggestions please? Thanks in advance [ December 28, 2003, 06:58 AM: Message edited by: Nero's Cat ]

Hi guys - does anyone know if there's a gridded hex mod out for CM:AK or can we use the CM:BO ones? Thanks in advance

Hi all In Combat Mission HQ, I recently found Madmatt's Mod Guide for CM:BO which I found really useful - for CM:BB, however, there are so many mods out there that it's difficult to keep track of what are the best mods and where to get them. Does anyone know of an equivalent guide for CM:BB where you can find a 'One Stop Shop' for all your CM:BB needs together with recommendations of which to get? I'm also looking for 'Mod Packs' if there are such things for CM:BB. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Pud - much appreciated - off to download now.

Ok - sorry to be a pain but in that case can anyone recommend the best hedge mod (and bocage, come to think of it) for CM:BO and let me know where I can find it. Thanks again

Does anybody know if anyone's done a hedge mod for CM:AK as yet and where I can find it? Thanks in advance
