There is a training campaign in every CM-game, but I wonder if the CMBS will be specific on modern era tactics, or mainly be a matter of getting to grips with how the game/UI/units and so on work. I have only played WWII CM-games and know absolutly nothing about the modern era (but keen to learn ), and want to some guidance on how to go about things in a sensible way.

I've had a similar issue in the past, but restarting the game after rebooting the computer made the modules and scenarios appear. Hope it helps.

Maybe we should set up a CM-charity cause for all poor grogs out there who can't afford the games. Talk about a life saver.

Will the full stream be available on youtube later on?

Get well Chris. Please give a heads up on the forum if there is a mid-week stream.

Have tried briefly. But the great thing with the flamethrower is that it spreads the flame both sideways and in depth, thus covering a lot of action points. This is essential to root out pixeltruppen hiding in foxholes. It is possible to clear a couple of foxholes per turn. So target briefly doesn't really solve the problem, it only prolongs the use of HE. Also, HE area fire has a tendency to, especially at short range hitting its mark, thus being too accurate to do the job of the flamethrower and is thereby unnecessary to fire simultaneously.

Nope. It doesn't.

Hear, hear. I'd like a Battle Pack with a lot of scenarios set in winter conditions.

Tanks with flamethrowers are a formidable asset using area fire, especially for taking out well hidden troops in dense forests. However, if I target light, flamethrowers are not used. With target, it fires both main gun and flamethrower, esentially wasting a lot of HE. So, I wish there was a unique targeting order for these units - "Target Flamethrower". Possible?

Great, was just about to make a wish for a mod for the Flammpanzer, but you read my mind

Can't agree more. To me that part is the biggest "horror" in CM. It tends to get very messy very quick.

That might be the problem. Got used to "the crocs" that can fire flame any which way. Also, it is scary to get close as 50 m for fear of PIATs (even though they have a tendency to be wildly inaccurate).

Currently playing the reworked Borderland-scenario, but for some reason the Flammpanzers are reluctant to fire flame, even at targets within 50 m radius :confused:

Yep, guess I'll attend Modern Tactics 101 soon.

My first modern title as well. So, you buying it means also modding for it? Pretty please

And I just posted that they might be Bring on some beach landings!

Now that "CM: Black Sea" is announced (yes, check it out!) it will have tanks with amphibious capabilities travel across deep water. Maybe that means that they have changed the game engine so that we in the future might see amphibious vehicles in CMBN/CMFI as well.

Wow, I got the first post Great announcement. Looking forward to making the jump to the modern era. Models look very good. I wonder when it is released... Edit: Aargh, sburke beat me to the punch as I was typing.

Thanks for this beauty Fuser. You can all take it for a spin in the revamped "In the shadow of the hill" scenario - you get three of them And you'll get to use them a lot, if you are careful.

Problem sometimes arise when a squad is too big to enter a carrier (CW) to acquire anything at all. Has to be split first. And it takes more micro management. I'm all for acquire from outside a vehicle, but at a time penalty, like setting up a MG.

I'm with you on "a lifetime to master", but for me CM*1 even wasn't "a minute to learn" . Knowing next to nothing back in the day about tactics or units I was at a complete loss concerning what to do. But I had fun none the less I guess "a lifetime to master" is what keeps me playing over and over and over...

Thank you for this, alleviated the stress of installing the vehicle pack. I wonder what the procedure is for reinstalling fresh.

I'll second that

If you do I will be :D:D:D:D

OK, too bad When will Battle Packs arrive? Roughly?
