Alte Hase

Danke.

Thanks everyone. Overlord does not have a 'save' button on the screen like Barbarossa & Afrika. So I use 'Alt+S.' I loaded all 3 games for full installation ( on a Win XP, P4 ) but they all 3 require a cd when I start ( solitare play not MP) and Barbarossa and Afrika save OK.

I've had CM:B and CM:AK for about a year and have no problems. I recently purchased CM:Beyond Overlord and discovered that I cannot save games. I hit 'Alt+S', I get the box, enter a name and ckick but no game is ever saved. There is no problem with Afrika or Barbarossa. Is this a problem beyond my own game disc?

Part of the difficulty here is that the Russians counterattacked Ninth Army (the northern arm of Citadel) already on 11 July and vonManstein was ordered to release forces from his command including several armored units for the north. Remember that 11 July is the same period of Prokhorovka (11 - 12 July) in Manstein's sector in the south. In addition, the Russians also attacked in the south over the Mius River against German 6th Army. That plus the problem of the Allied invasion of Sicily was forcing Hitler to stop Citadel. Finally, I believe that the reserve pz corps available to Manstein was XXIV with 2 pz divs and about 112 panzers but it could not be employed by him without OKH & Hitler's authority.

Danke! I knew the answer would be simple! I recall reading now about the wire/phone versus radio spotters! I've just spent the last 3 years with Panzer Elite as a team doing scenarios and prior to that was into East Front/West Front a game more like CM. I can't decide if I should get into that huge argument on Carell & Glantz! Wow! I already went thru that in the PE Forum! Thanks again.

I'm brand new to CM and using 1.02 (I'll dwnld 1.03 next). I could not seem to get my arty spotters embarked on any type vehicle in 1.02. I am able to embark inf units in set-up phase. Can arty spotters be embarked in both set-up and combat phases? How?
