Good trick, should work.

Ok now I know who you are Stoffel.

Read the first post. Tom's Rhineland and Tank's Normandy are not street names in Wisconsin.

It seems to happen with armoured cars and halftracks too so don't feel bad. Just part of the game. Some scenarios with combined units, if you walk troops ahead to scout, you end up too late into the battle. Depends on the designer and the opponent.

I have found Hans AIW battles and ops change things quite a bit. Late war equipment in the desert is not so bad.

Any easy way to tell the friendly edge? It is not always Axis west and Allies east. I tried to walk my own troops off of a map once and they wouldn't go there. Can units walk off a neutral edge? If yes, who gets the points?

I forgot to mention, I made the HQ pants. The tan pants with brown boots just seemed like a fashion faux pas. Clashy. I used the tanker leg and pasted the CO boot to it, voila.

Thanks. I do remember an old Errol Flynn movie where the Brits raided a camp in the dark. Must have clouded my thinking, lol. If I have the correct actor and movie.

Anything to do with CRT vs DVI connections? Dual monitors? Just guessing until someone else shows up.

Thanks for the insight. I thought I had read a few post in this forum that eluded to battles being fought at night to avoid the heat and long range defensive fire. Maybe it was another war in another forum.

Bon jour (I think) At cmmods French brown uniforms for mid and late war scenarios. In CMAK the mid and late war French troops wear mid war USA uniforms. This mod is for 1940 early war scenarios set in the mid and late war timeframe in CMAK. It uses BFC early war brown French uniform bmps, renumbered to mid war USA. As such they will change your mid war USA troops also. Back up your files and use McMMM to swap these in and out to play mid war USA other French battles. It does not include helmets. They are supplied by the game and do not need to be changed. If the designer (like Hans) uses Rifle 40 platoons and support, you will have MAS rifles, Chatellerault and Hotchkiss MGs. The Springfields look close enough anyway not worth the swap. BTW Hans uses April May 1944 in most of his 1940 scenarios. Ah, Spring. Enjoy

For newbies I suggest getting CMBO alone or in the anthology pack just in case you ever want to convert a CMBO map to CMBB or CMAK with Pyewacket's Map Converter Tool. For the prices I am seeing posted it is nice to have the whole set.

I will assume this happened, you had the computer with the game installed and resolution set in preferences, then you installed a new monitor with a different resolution. If that is the case, delete the preference file in your CMBB folder. When you start the game you should get the accept this screen. If not the case, ignore me.

Night desert battles add a whole other dimension to the game. Lower visibilty, danger of friendly fire, probably more historical. Try that with those trees.

As long as you and David are looking in here, would you translate a CMBO briefing from French to English for David? 58f here now. chilly

Both of you are excellent and have set the standard for others to rise to. I think you challenge each other to be the best you can be. Now where is the CMBB marsh mod?

Sergei's Finland maps are works of art. With the summer maps try changing them to winter with snow and get more miles from them.

If you hover your mouse over the icon it will tell you what it is. profile website email edit quote

David If you need that CMBO map converted to BB let me know.

I have Juju's Mosin Nagant rifle from BB for my Korean war mod, would that work for the Springfields? Which MGs?

We're not wasting trees posting here. If you have a pc and you got the windows warning about replacing the file xxx with file xxx and you said yes, then you are done. The little picture of an envelope to the right of your screen name is your email. Same with mine. The little pencil is for editing posts.

Hi Pat, even the leg thingys? If so I'll do it. So renumber early French to mid war USA to use as early French in late war CMAK. Got it.

I have separate installs for ETO PTO etc. Extract the bmps from MY mods into the bmp folder within the CMAK folder for the install that will always be Pacific. That will overwrite the bmps.

CM uses a 3D object like a wireframe and the bmps wrap around that frame. Generally CMBO and CMAK are different. Sometimes the shape of the bmp is close enough. Sometimes only the bmp number is different. Let me see if I can make a list of what does work. You cannot use the CMBO Pacific mod the way the it is. For the last question, for PC, if you extract a bmp from a zip file that is just a number, say 613.bmp into your bmp folder, it will overwrite. If you use McMMM it will not. If the mod has extras like 1220_desert.bmp or something it will not overwrite and wont show up on your screen. The mods done for cmmos will only work with cmmos, none are for CMAK yet.

As I posted before, send it, I'll play it. For Tanks, check the CMAKdb and see which tanks have HE and AP. Some Brit tanks only have one or the other.
