As a side note, and what I don’t find realistic, is having a unit with satchel charges moving up to a hedgerow and destroying a section all in same turn...In RL Engineers would have to move up and prepare the detonation charges (making holes for charges, etc) taking several minutes to do so. This is why I think this along with digging foxholes, getting ammo at ammo dumps, etc, ere better suited for Campaigns, Operations and not for your typical CM Scenario.

Ok, I asked him and It turns out he purchased CMBN 4.0 Big-Bundle (all content) and I purchased everything as well, but in stages as they came out over the years.
In any case, I gave him the Original Scenario from the game (that I modified by taking out all the units and placing new ones) to put in his Scenario folder to start the PBEM game, and I was finally able to see that file in my game.
-
Ok, I told him to start-up a new game and send game file...Now, the Game File is showing in my game. Lets hope it continues this way.
Thanks again, guys

We started doing a QB, and didn't work, then a scenario and didn't work...I send him the first file 001 (needs password), and he sent me back 002, and that didn't work (shows up in my Incoming Game Folder, but not in game).
-
Think he was probably the 2nd person ever I had issues with PBEM...We are using Dropbox. I wonder if it might matter if he is using a Mac vs my PC, or that I have all the Modules and he might not ? (need to ask him about that), thou it probably doesn't matter.
Ok, going to Zip files back n forth via Dropbox and see what happens.
Thanks, Schrullenhaft

We just start started playing our first game, and ended-up going through the procedure twice (to see if it happens again...once was a QB, and next a Scenario), and both times his game file doesn't show up in my game.
-
Me and Opponent both have CMBN @4.03, I give him a gave file that works, but when I get a game file back from him it doesn't work. I can see the game file in my incoming folder, but doesn't show in game.

I'm back to this after some CMCW. Do people still think it's worth playing compared to the more recent games? I have a memory of a very atmospheric mission attacking as CW forces with Churchills and I think some Fireflys against a farm defended by several Panthers, some AT guns and I think some pillboxes. Ring any bells? Would like to try it again.
Thanks
Campaign 'The Scottish Corridor'

Looking for some opponents to play any of the WWII Titles, PBEM, Small QB's, using some 'House Rules & Mods to make feel a little more realistic and interesting.

Think I remember reading-up on that Campaign you were involved with, @Probus. I really liked how it was designed with several sectors of a map that needed to be taken or lost from enemy (similar to a grand tactical board game using hexes).
If you can find that thread, and post it here for Artkin, then that would also give him some ideas.

Artkin,
Go ahead and make it CMBN up to Battalion size Campaign (3x Games) with CW (make it Canukes) vs Germs...I will play one of the Companies.
Each Player controls a Company...So, If you only have 3x Players (including yourself), then there would be 2x Companies, and you play as Overall Commander and control the Battalion/Div assets (if 4x Players, then 3x Companies, and you as overall).

Nope...There is nothing wrong as mine is the same :-)

Hello All:
I have done scouting in the first few minutes and have spotted a Tiger (facing the wrong way) and a PSW. On board I have infantry and 4 tubes of 60mm and 4 tubes of 81mm Mortars. I should be getting 3 Shermans and 1 x 105 Sherman in a minute or so. So naturally I am wondering how to proceed.
Do you fire some mortars at the PSW now? I assume you wait for your tanks?
On the PSW it says range 3000m - no such note on the Tiger. Is this the distance to the PSW and is there a way in game for the player to estimate distances? I assume a leader with binos estimated that distance to the PSW? Is weapon range included in the Encyclopedia?
Appreciate any help.
Well, Gerry, I see you have finally upgraded to CMx2...Welcome aboard :-)

Assault: 750/250Just noticed a slight typo Domfluff...I switched the VP allocations around for Meetings & Probe :-)

I imagine the adrenaline with a real live opponent. That would be like a real war.
If 4 players played it, it would be something interesting.
I play the Red Orchestra every day and I'm a veteran and everyone knows me.There are still a lot of better players and beating them is a challenge.I'm going to play Red orchestra in about 10 minutes.
For example Steel Division 2 the most boring multiplayer in the world. It's a total waste in 10 minutes you fall asleep boredom.
But Combat Mission in mulitplayer 1 vs 1....That would be very interesting.But you must have an equally strong opponent. For a fair game.
Ahh, another RO Player...I haven't played in a few years, but I remember some of the Older Players (I was old back then).
Sometimes, I would also play against the RO AI, but apparently you can't do that anymore, since things have changed since after 5.0 major update. Now, they are up to 8.0 or 10.0 or somefink like that in past couple years.

I still remember when CMBN first came out, and players complained that Tiny QB's had only a Platoon or two of Infantry and a Vehicle...Then, BF increased it across the board and Tiny Battles had a Reinforced Company more worth of Troops and couple Vehicles.
I still prefered the Former :-/

Hey BillytheGoat,
Just get one of these older Dell XPS M1730 off Fleabay:

And here I'm complaining that Squads thrown Nades way too often...I think 1x Nade per FIreteam per turn would be more appropriate.

I've given you a like, because while it may not happen, there's nothing wrong with the idea. We could also have dragons...
Anyway, a big welcome to the forum!
Sorry, but no D&D...However, Middle Earth, and Space Marines 40k games would be interesting :-)

Don't worry...Hope BF comes out with a 'Star Trek' Combat Simulator to entertain us Trekkies/Sci-Fans :-)
Can't start a PBEM @4.03

Ok, and after a couple hiccups sending files normally, we ended-up Zipping the Files back-in-forth, and finally the PBEM is back in action...Thanks again, @Schrullenhaft and @BFCElvis
