Yarp. If this rolls out with future releases onto Steam the Combat Mission series may get burned. P.S. I am a fanboi. I don't want this to happen. I want Combat Mission/Battlefront to succeed so I get more and better games and sink thousands more hours of my precious life into them rather than do something productive for the good of mankind.

Legality of releasing modified campaigns?
Gumboots replied to gallycadet's topic in CM2 Scenario and Mod Tips
Why not make brand new campaigns? If you are concerned about learning map-making, which can be initially daunting, there are discussions on this site, a guide that comes with the games, and youtube videos. -

Youtube is a big resource for new players of games. How to play videos are popular and examples of gameplay. The CMx2 series has a large number of videos including Bill Hardinger's excellent tactics series. It's a big plus for the CMx2 games appearing on Steam which new games don't initially have. -
On the front web page 'Games' (top bar) has an 'Upgrades' option. Click on that and it displays all the CMSF upgrade options.

I still play 'Fighting Steel' from time to time. I would sign up immediately if their was an updated version in the offing. -
60 hours 30gb+ downloaded in failed attempts My most consistent problem appears to be the download stops after 7-8 hours (75-80% of file downloaded). This makes me wonder if Amazon Cloud has a timer on downloads. When you reach a certain point, it decides you are taking too long and drops the connection. Yes I have tried different browsers. No, I am not using a download manager. It thus appears that Amazon Cloud is sadly incompatible with me. It also means, with Battlefronts 'mega installer' philosophy - which I applaud by the way - that I will have problems in the future. I understand I am in the minority with this problem, and conclude that until some time in the future when myself and Battlefront become technologically compatible again I can no longer purchase their products. The word 'refund' is now firmly on my mind and a request will be sent through official channels asap.

togi, I also have an ATI card (6850) and have just replicated your problem on Avanti, and hopefully have a solution for you. If you go to 'Options' you will see at the bottom a setting called 'ATI left-click compatibility' I have this set to 'off' and I could plot a course across the bridge. When I switched that to 'on' your problem occurred.

[NEW PREVIEW] Juju's TweakedUI v2.0 interface enhancement mod
Gumboots replied to Juju's topic in CM Normandy Maps and Mods
+1 from me. Initially when I installed it I wasn't keen. But after the battle I was playing ended I really liked it. Despite it not appearing correctly at the moment I still have the 'wood effect' installed. -
I am a great fan of version 'c'. I would greatly appreciate access to version 'e' as well.

You know you're playing too much CMBN when
Gumboots replied to Lt Belenko's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
...you check your mobile is fully charged before you go out so that you can maintain C2 with the wife. -
Two versions of the manual are supplied with the game in PDF format. CMBN Commonwealth Forces Manual print.pdf - apart from the cover, the print is in black with white background (no background images).
-
At the bottom of that stats screen is a "Review Map" button. You can see all the remaining units for both sides. Clicking on each unit will show you the surviving troops.

I disagree! A "Brew Up" should be an action. Not sure whether it should appear on the 'Combat' or 'Special' orders tab though.

Seems as if the May 18th Shipped were the ones pulled by customs. Hopefully your ongoing delay is nothing more serious than customs slowly handing them over to the posties. -
