I have the same problem with both CMBB and CMAK. It isn't vista, but rather the drivers for my video card. Perhaps try updating your drivers. It didn't work for me, but perhaps you will have better luck.

Thanks. Downloading now!

Castles of Steel is a great book. Very readable, and entertaining. I've been thinking of getting the book Dreadnought also by Massie. It's apparently a "prequel" to Castles. Brian Smith wrote: Where did you find this one? Sounds interesting.

Thanks for the reply! I was getting a little frustrated ... Albert Ernst supposedly commands the Hornisse truppe in this scenario, he's a 'real life' Panzerjager ace, but in my game he dies in the first turn of combat (after missing his initial few shots!). I was beginning to think I was making some big mistake with my gameplay. I've tried this one a few different ways, but I always get a draw (because the AI Russkies are too slow in reaching the flag before the time limit...)

I've read that one of the two documented nighttime actions involving the Panther "Uhu" (equipped with experimental IR sights for the gunner and driver) ended in a platoon of British Comet tanks being destroyed. The other ended in the destruction of a U.S. 3" AT gun position on the Weser Canal. I gather there is still some arguement over the veracity of these stories, but at least the Coment merits a mention! P.S. I like the Comet too ... hopefully some of the grogs here can give us more anecdotes of the Comet in combat...

Hello all, this is my first post! I'm a noob to CMBB (got it this past X-mas) but I've played wargames since AH's Panzerblitz. My question is regarding the scenario "Hornet's nest" on the CD. I have no luck with this one as German ... I hide my Hornissen behind the hill on my end of the map and engage the Russian armoured hoarde at long range using the "scoot and shoot"command and my best estimate of hull down positions, but they always seem to miss and get toasted by a ton of 76mm return fire in reply. The long range effectiveness of the Panzerjagers doesn't seem to be there ... at best I can get a 1 to 1 kill ratio at these long ranges vs the T-34's. Whassup! am I missing a vital tactical trick here ...
