Time passes fast, but progress passes slowly...

If CMC is something that interests you, I would go for CMAK now for a few month and when (if) CMC will be released it looks like there will be a choice available that includes CMBB in the package. Just an expectational thought

A small preview of the game here at www.madjokeaboutgames.com

political map is to show territorial borders between states provinces or countries, and includes towns, cities. I don´t know if it includes infrastructure but you may have another word for this in USA. [ October 21, 2006, 04:19 AM: Message edited by: Alter Ego ]

Yes I remember, I maybe used wrong word "replace". I meant some map that show up in CMC at operational level. Some physical/political map to add beside the blocky terrain-generalized interactive Isometric map in CMC Scale about 1:500.000 - 1:2.500.000 [ October 22, 2006, 01:51 PM: Message edited by: Alter Ego ]

Will there be some kind of maps to replace the small zone-map in CM games?

Maybe they are playtesting on windows vista beta.

What about vehicle, recovery & repair; the operation parameters. If one or both sides/nations have none or poor vehicle recovery. And if some tanks are immobile because they are out of fuel. Will they be removed off the map just because of that, and never come back? Thats the way I think cmbb handles immobile vehicles when none or poor parameters are set.

@Elmar Bijlsma: Isnt it most of the time only the map/scenario designer that can edit the map and change terrain underneath a vehicle? I dont think cmc either can change anything on the human made cmbb map. Some other problems may occur by this 1. Setup zones size and placement may depend on the previous battle outcome. 2. Troops seems to be placed within the zone randomly from the start, then changed the next time you play the scenario. 3. Quite hard for the designer to predict 1. and 2.

Are you sure about this PeterK: "Based on my attempts to sim. Red Barricades in CMBB, the AI does not react at all to the points handicap. It just wants flags. All Of Them" --------------------------------------------- My experience with CMBB editor is that the AI only chooses One flag when it is advancing. If it is 1 km between the 4 flags; like in CMC it´s too long distance between the flags for the AI to care about the other 3 flags. Just a very few reached a second one. Related topic: CMC Training and Possible Problems. An unaggressive AI. (Scenario talk forum) Anyone else with similar experiences? or with no flags?

Little off topic but in CMC, in each CMBB map will there be 1 or 4 v-flags? (Don´t remember) It will be the same side-effect here if it´s 4 flags. :confused: [ April 25, 2006, 03:28 AM: Message edited by: Alter Ego ]

And if you give the attacker +3 experience, any difference?

More screenshots, FAQ´s or, something added or removed from the feature-list?

If troops are in short of food supply or water at the operational level before a battle. Will they have the status: exhausted "no recover" when I play out the battle in CMBB?

Is there any change in how reinforcements will work and show up on the map?

How will the CM:SF engine model different mines? Some may jump and detonate in level with the face/head. J69? And mines that move around to avoid the crews that clear minefields! In which way will we place mines in CM:SF?

CMSF without Abrams?

A little green energy/health bar above every head/turret of the units. [ September 30, 2005, 11:01 AM: Message edited by: Alter Ego ]

As a first a_n.n-o_u.n-c_e.m-e_n.t? [ September 13, 2005, 01:01 PM: Message edited by: Alter Ego ]

Would be nice to see that in night combat engagements too.

Not some nowadays smgs either, I think.

I´ve tried to search for it but didn´t find any results about it. I felt like it was something missing in CM1. This may be an eye candy thing but, it may make spotting fireing units easier. And it will look more like it´s a war going on here.
