    Thanks for all the hard work, lok forward to playing it through.

    Cheers MarkL

    I asked the master of all this to come and take a look at this. He has all the stuff as he also has done the webrelease. So it´s up to him. He´ll let you know in th SK forum and probably in here too.

    Sie Kommen Release Date Set For 7th Nov

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Hi and thanks for your question smile.gif

    It has been mostly tested and created for H2H play so yes most definetly play against your favourite opponent. Some battles might be less balanced but the scores book will give the battles an even feel. As the outcome of all battles will move you to different battles depending on the outcome. So even if you loose one badly might put you into tight position in the next fight but making out alive will buy your time to move into a battle where things might look different from your perspective. So giving up is never an option ;) the idea was to make a campaign that will have good replayability as playing ti second time through you might end up playing all different battles. Changing sides wil also change the feel to it. Against ai it is mostly balanced allied v ai if you give the ai some CEB. Same rules apply. The outcome of the whole campaign will vary depending on the outcome of single battles.

    Thanks for your question. Looking forward to see more questions in here and the Sie Kommen Forum.

    Cheers!

The player can decide to use it directly or to use it after his own attempts have failed, have been too costly or in case he is just curious what would have been the best approach.

    This is something amongst many other add-ons you´ll find in Sie Kommen Campaign. Plans and maps hidden behind passwords for each side. Check out the site for more information. You can also join the forum to ask questions discuss etc. Links on the signature.

    Favourite scenario?

    Both are outstanding scenario designers that stand that little extra above the rest of a group that is extraordinarily talented...

    To pick a single scenario or for that matter a single scenario designer from the talent that spends their time making our hobby what it is today is a VERY TOUGH decisision. Here are just some of the designers that make professional quality scenarios good enough for any BFC game disk. Get a scenario from any of these guys and you can't go wrong.

    BannonDC

    Bertrand Dossmann

    British Tommy

    Carl Puppchen

    Chris "Ferrous"

    Dey-The Daffy

    General Failure

    Fredrock1957

    George Mc

    Gil Wilson

    Kingfish

    Larry Thorne

    Panzerman

    Runyan99

    Simonovitch

    Stoffel

    Warmonger

    This list is NOT all inclusive. This is just my short list. I see a scenario by one of these designers and I DL it automatically.

    Thanks for the hours of pleasure that you have all afforded me over the months and years... :cool:

    I see my name amongst the great designers [blush] One of my all time favourites is Storm 555 by BT but there are many great scenarios by great designers across the CM community. Thanks to all of you who take the time to put out scenarios for all to play.

    Cheers

    Hi GaJ

    I think Fredrock is about to use the modsets so they´ll be easiest to run with McMMM. But as it is he is out of action due to an accident. When he is able to activate again I´ll send him here to answer your Q. We will have a modset DL page for SK modssets and I think the way they are though to work is the way you described.

    Cheers

    As a member of the design team I can say this:

    Final tweaking stages and briefings are put together and those commander maps are still yet to be finalized. So far the playtestings are almost over and we are getting into action to publish this campaign. But some RL issues have gotten in the way. We are all hoping to publish soon...hopefully we´ll do before CMx2.. ;)

    Originally this was supposed to be ready on july 4th but...as the phrase: its ready when its ready is commonly used in these forums (CMx2) we´ll have to use the same one here.Glad to see there is interest on this. Developing team has done a superb job as far as maps scens battles etc. only putting it out to the community has been too slow.

    There was an unfortunate accident that has slowed the developing once again, but hopefully you guys are willing to wait for the finalized product. After all the effort, there is no idea to give you a crippled product. Some battles are still going through final stages of tweaking after over 10 playtests etc. We want it to be 100% working thing before releasing it.

    Like master Fredrock says: That's all!

    Cheers

    Why not throw the mines?

    in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord

    Posted

    IIRC there was a conversation about this in TPG where the info about minefield detonation was passed around. The conclusion was that moving slowly across minefield there is a possibility of 33% to survive across it. Then if you you add another minefield on top of the other the odds of survival go down and so on. If you use fastmove it is harder to spot mines and it isd more likely to hit a mine than going through slowly.

    Just my .02c

    Cheers

    EDIT TO ADD

    here is a link to a test about mines at the proving grounds

    Mine Test

    Good stuff and lots of test in the playtest tactics area and other research areas

    Moving CMMOS help

    in Combat Mission: Beyond Overlord

    Posted

    Hi

    I had the same problem as I have my HD divided into 4 different drives. Anyway I just copyed the Cmmos Folder to another drive and it works well nothing extra to do etc. What I don´t know is that if you have a different (physical) HD and moving the folder to that how things work after that. This is something you moght wanna ask at the tech forum. But if you are talking about moving the folder within a diveded HD go ahead it works fine.

    Hope this helps.

The support phone number he provides is useless...the vmail box is full, preventing additional complaints (apparently I'm not alone in my extreme ire). Numerous emails go unanswered.

    You have no idea how angry and embarrassed I am at this point. I feel as though I have let down the CM community. I genuinely apologize.

    Thanks Keith!

    And don´t be embarrased at all!

    I have a feeling you will rise up TSD greater than ever like a Phoenix bird from ashes! Let the old dragon to its lair and introduce the new world of TSD if and when you have time!

    Thanks for your works for the community, hope to see around and maybe in the new tsd.

    Regards
