Yip that would have been worse .... much worse.

Excellent , one problem down thanks for the post.

should probably point out i have a new love for CM:SF (CMx2) , was gathering dust for the last couple of years but thanks to this forum i gave it another go and am really enjoying. Even started my first campaign a few days ago.

I dont find the music on starting or loading very pleasant ether. You can turn it of off course but then no game sound

thats a good point too , "shock troops" is a well used term. "Shock force" on the otherhand is a term i hadn't heard used. Could be down to the context i first heard it in , "Stormtropper" for me sounds like a comedy term due to Star Wars (i.e heard it here first) , for anyone that took a beatin' from German Stormtroopers in WW2 im sure the word "comedy" wouldnt come into it. All about the context i guess.

LOL very good.

Just something about the name Shock Force that seems a bit made up to me (IMO), sounds a bit "gamey" which the product goes out of its way NOT to be. What do you think ? Combat Mission: Modern Warfare would have been better , or some term that is used by the Mil. Searching for Shock Force online only appeared to retuned CM so maybe that was the idea, be unique Just an observation , all IMO obviously , no offence intended BF.

Great to get a wee bit of news thank you : )

AH sorry i remember what i was now. It was the Falklands. The Marines used single shot SLR versus the Argintine Automatic SLR .... automatic SLR was all over the place hence the Mariines had fire superiority as it was ultra accurate. Sorry for the miss information above.

hated TOW2 (KURSK) looked good in theory but just didnt have any control over proceedings (i.e felt is just did its thing) Did try it as well though.

ps how many thread are there now on wanted mods ???

ALL OF THE ABOVE - Well said Praetori! Kill stats is a must for me More info on units , each troop named , weapons and ammo per weapon per troop Make squad easier to identify i.e platoon, CO, BAT, REG etc... If find this stuff really interesting and if each bullet is mapped then why not display this info.

sitting about waiting for CM:N too, painful it is I find getting my head into other projects helps , time flys by that way and i dont think about it so much. In this context the less CM:N news the better ...

i watched a documenary recetly about the British Marines in WW2. They using a bolt action single shot weapon (303 i think) versus the automatic german (i think) counterpart. Marines were more accurate due to single shot and the weapon muzzle did not kick up continuely. (i think it was WW2 they were talking about , i maybe wrong. Was before they starting using the SLR anyway). Though this maybe relevant.

Still selling a few CMAKs certainly , have have purchased 3 , two over the last couple of years due to losing a copy and trying to get my siblings involved ... was worth ago

Would certainly get the 2011 account of to a good start ... must be so much pent up demand for CMx2 WW2 ! Companies House in the UK publish accounts if you care to spend £2 to examine any company, is there a US equivalent. Not that i want to go looking to be honest but would prove or disprove the theory in theory

True but remember Steve saying the dont gear up for X sales in X days , they release when they are ready and are happy to see the cash trickle in over time. If this is the case it doesnt really matter when its released.

Really pleased to here this about BF , keep up the good work, absolutely quality products you guys are putting out there. Cant always see it at first glance/play but once you get into the nitty grity its obvious.

all of the above please !!! totally miss the unit kill stats. Anything to help track a unit in a Campaign would be a step forward too !

interesting , games crashed obviously. Unlicenceed NATO , was looking to uninstall but found it was a bundle so could not do just one module. Licenses again , started game , went to edit DUTCH OVEN , units are now there. So the units failed to load for some reason. Only thing i did was restart game and unlicence/licence bit. Smells like a bug BF.

tried to load the DUTCH OVEN battle, game crashed out. Does this mean the files are missing ?

ran editor, loaded DUTCH OVEN , selected UNITS, PURCHASE BLUE , appears to be ( ) where unit names should exist.

nato icon displayed on startup too

No NATO nation troops available from EDITOR ? NATO, BRITS, MARINE V 1.3.0 installed. When creating a scenario i can add US , MARINE, BRIT troops but Canadian, Dutch, German show no INFANTARY, ARTY , AIR support etc .... cannot purchase any troops. The BATTLE option from the main menu shows the NATO battles installed ok. Have Played a NATO battle that used German Troops ok IIRC. Why cant i add them to a user defined battle ? Thanks Scott

Thanks for the reply (not being funny comments too ) , all good points. Its just hard coming from the black and white in or out context of CMx1 to CMx2 way of doing things. Never really sure if troops are hidden or not.
