Thanks Moon for your quick answer But ... Husband after work: "Darling, where is my lunch?" Answer: "Oh, no problem, you can find it in the cookbook on page 45" Translated: Customer after reading the newsletter: "Battlefront, where is my free Strategy Guide?" Answer: "Oh, no problem, you can find it at CDV's webpage, but you must contact ... write, ... respond, ...declare ... Sorry Moon, but if I offer my custumer a free guide (with verry big letters), it's my part to deliver a clear functional link ... In my opinion If this was Microsoft, I would say "keep your .....guide". But this is Battlefront, my all time favorite wargaming company. So I say .... no problem ...

Hallo Battlefront I received your informativ newsletter, where you offer to get the Theatre of War – Free Strategy Guide. If I follow the link I get to a login page "Games Press login". If I follow the other link I get a 2 page sample from the Strategy Guide. Could you please tell me, how do I get the Free Strategy Guide? Greetings Rolf

I like CMSF, but also I think they are right with there review. I'm a long time gamer since 64' times and Gamespot is one of the few gaming mags, who I agree with there review in about 90 %.

Just played the demo multiplayer .... awesome
Ronn replied to Destraex's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
Yeah ... But when you train some years, look at replays from Starcraft, C&C, Generals & Co your clickspeed will araise and then the possibility is there that your clicks are faster than your oponents. Ah.. what .. this is Combat Mission? A tactical Wargame? Oh sorry ... Thougt I was at the Company of Heroes forum ... (Sorry, but only my two cents ...) -
Close Combat is a VERY (!) SLOW game and so it's controllable. And you get everytime the big picture! CM:CF is a fast game and you can only take your attention to one or two POI's. The only experience from the RT-aspect for me was time pressure ...

Bring back the old QBs, I beg you!
Ronn replied to Nemesis Lead's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
Yep, but we need a Forum for Scenario Design. I think many complainer about this feature would first take a look overthere ... (HINT Battlefront *g* HINT *gg*) -
Same here. One of the best games I bought this year, and that do I say, with the awareness of the bugs, disappointment about RT, missing features, the WEGO that is no WEGO, TacAi and so on ... Great game with much potential

CAUTION, Will have screenshots - Scenario Design
Ronn replied to rune's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
Very good thread! But why ist there no Forum for Scenario Design? That is a must for this game. Please Battlefront -
No, you can't check back on other parts of the battlefield and check out what has happend in the last seconds on the other points of action. A battlefield has many points of action, but people have only one attention. For many wargamer this is like blindness. Other games with RTS aspect - for example Close Combat - shows you the big picture and expand very, very slow ... So it's better controllable
-
The LOS-tool not only is for LOS. It was a good tool for terrain analyzes. I expected more LOS-tools, to get a better big picture from the 3D battlefield on a flat 2D computer monitor. For example: Conquest of the Aegan has three LOS-Tools. But overal,CM:SF is a very good game with much potenzial.
-
Could you please stop with this childish kind of argumentation? What Janster said was right. This game is a good game, but need much work and tuning for usability and gameplay ...
-
Yep - one of the things I expectet: - Hulldown - more LOS-Tools (free LOS ...) - 3D-analysis tools to get a better pic of the situations on your flat monitor screen ... - ...
-
That is exactly my impression. And therfore I think, BATTLEFRONT will listen to the community and with some time the gem will be polish in the right way

Is RT the fundamental problem with TacAI?
Ronn replied to kipanderson's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
Sorry Redwolf, tryed RT very hard .. but the action takes place in many parts of the battlefield. In RT I can correct one or two of this situations not more. I can't get back the WEGO-minute to see, what has happend on on the other side of the battlefield. RT ist time pressure pur, and the ESC-pause a nice feature. Not more. just my two cents By the way: I love this game! I enjoy every minute, but only the WEGO-aspekt -
yes same here ... One another point: With the RC-menue you haven't to move your eyes to another part of the screen, you can focus only on the action and give your orders. It's a question of usability ...
-
Sorry, but I can't believe this ... What makes someone with this attitude here in the Battlefront forum? There are so many games out there (C&C Tiberium wars, Empire Earth, Company of Heroes, Generals ...), with much better interfaces for click-kings and fast-scroll-clickers, which he instead can play. RT games are won by gamers whith the fastest clickrate. I choose BATTLEFRONT and their games, because you have time to think and plan and anlalyse, because BATTLEFRONT are the WEGO-experts. And I expect, we get a better WEGO with better WEGO-tools. Airborne Assault for example has in its 3rd edition 3 (THREE !) LOS-tools! I played only one game in RT. The only experience I have, was time pressure. Completely redundant time pressure. NEVER again ... Shure I can give orders in SP if I press Escape. But that is so comfortably like WEGO in the 18th century. One tip from me: go back to the roots! You are THE spezialists in WEGO, not in RT. Think in USABILITY for your customer, what tools are realy needed (perfect hulldown order, better 3D-Terrain analysis tools, free LOS-Tools, exchangeable replays of the whole game for common learning, camera savepoints ...,) Don't get me wrong: I love CM:SF! But with the noticeably RT-trend, I have fear, that you get lost in a market, you are only one under many others. Greetings Ronn Sorry for my english - its not the best
-
/agree RTS-Gaming often the only way to win is the speed of your fingertips or mouseclicks, Wargaming is the exact opposite ...
-
I still prefer WEGO... and a question...
Ronn replied to JohnCalvin's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
It's simple: I'm a wargamer (hope ist *g*). I'm a wargamer because I like to think and plan. The only way to think and plan in a game like this is a system like WEGO. If I would like to play realtime, there are many other games out there ... I play CM since CM1. If CMSF realy was planed as a realtime game, then that was it for me ... I think, time will tell ... -
The Wargamer First Impressions
Ronn replied to saur_kraut's topic in Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg and Weapons and Warfare
Same to me ... - Can't see the hole picture like in SC1 - Worldmap useless, if I can't klick and go to position like in Panzer General ... - No scroll funktion on mouse-Button or WASD - To much to scroll ... - SC1 was genius in terms of USABILITY In SC2 I have to press much more keys and have to do much more scolling and get much lesser information. Sorry, deletet the game Good luck with this ... -
@ Seanachai I know what you mean. But I will consum 6 bottles of beer/game (normal is 3). That will balance the cheating-factor @ Sergei Thankyou - That was ist I have to press Shift and CTRL together. Then I can save the 3 descriptions to hd. Greetings Ronn

bunmp ... Or, if there where a tool, a extractor, then I could extract the txt. files from the scenario file (?)

Ronn replied to Ronn's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

Hallo I am just started with CM and would like to copy some of the missionbriefings from the missions, to Word and then print and read it in my armchair But I don't find a solution - (only with screenshots). I am trying to open the scenarios with the editor, but I can't find a option to view the 3 texts/mission (or copy and paste) the briefings (?). How can I do it? Any solution? Greetings Ronn
