My new map Château de Cayx
sburke replied to General Sir Anthony C H M's topic in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Just a matter of timing. I actually have additional folders for maps I mess with a lot so yes you can create one, but the CMBN installer won’t put any there even though it had the first ones (Pete’s wonderful map for MG for example) -
Tastes great! Less filling!

My experience with a lot of time in urban maps in no way supports it is somehow easy to take out armor with infantry. While I can, it is far from assured and if that armor has any support at all I am toast. Keep in mind CM doesn’t reflect at all the constraints armor would face. Inability to turn turret due to barrel., incredibly reduced visibility etc. in my eyes quite the opposite. Armor is pretty unfettered in urban space compared to reality.

Any Chance for a New Afrikakorps game?
sburke replied to BluecherForward's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
actually not so sure it would have as the main thing Monty was SUPPOSED to be doing was freeing the Scheldt estuary and getting Antwerp going. Logistics win wars and Monty failed in that regard. The Allies in general got ahead of themselves. To be clear Monty was not unique, he had nothing to do with the disaster in the Huertgen which rather than a decision that was bad they tried to manage like MG. Nah Huertgen was a bull headedness of continuing to insist on pushing a bad idea for an extended period of time. -

What makes this module worth buying?
sburke replied to Aragorn2002's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
your game engine will be the same, you just won't have access to the content of R2V though (and don't quote me on this) there was discussion about being able to access in PBEM. Elvis could more appropriately answer that. Basically the way it works is you both download the exact same game. Their license however activates the R2V module material and yours does not. -

BF makes a very deliberate effort to insure you are not obligated to purchase any module you decide not to. It really complicates work on ToE and scenario design as you have to make sure the module is self contained and does not require anything beyond the base game so no BF doesn't consider it "disloyalty" In fact they go through a lot of effort to insure you have the option. -

sburke replied to weapon2010's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
To be fair that isn't an engine upgrade issue per se - it is an object issue. Semantics maybe but Tank riders require specific coding of the object. That would require more effort and cost. Are we willing to pay for that? Me not so much. I honestly don't even use that much (hell won't do it with halftracks ) as the combat ranges in the game are not typically where that would be used with one exception and that exception was the very reason they even bothered with it.- Russia -

you have a point, but you'll need to take that up with BF. Pricing is exclusively their domain and rationale. -
nah it will eventually bite you.There are 3 R2V 210 files c, d and e. Contact the helpdesk and they can sort you out. 210 itself has a,b and c.

Not necessarily impossible, but not one BF is willing to prioritize. Sorry if that doesn't make folks all warm and fuzzy, but reality is sometimes freakin harsh. It isn't impossible that I could win the lottery, but as a friend says- the lottery is a tax on the math impaired. -
Rome to Victory Pre-orders are now open

Where are the Goumiers in djellaba?
sburke replied to mjkerner's topic in Combat Mission Fortress Italy
yeah and to note our French tester representative was pretty upset. We all were looking forward to that one, but sadly it didn't make the cut. -
Rolled Back - CMFI Rome to Victory???
sburke replied to markshot's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
not sure you need junctions. I have 2 installs and I can mod one and not the other. Been doing that for years now. Some mods may not work, but that is a whole other issue. The only one that I would really worry about is vin's text. That one is dependent on items most mods aren't. As Ultradave mentioned we testers generally aren't working with mods. We can't as we have to be reporting on stuff directly BF owned. That being said some will occasionally verify some. For example with CMSF I was really wanting the building mods and kept checking them but that was independent of what really falls under beta testing. -

it could simply be. You made the right move going to support. -

sburke replied to weapon2010's topic in Combat Mission - General Discussion
I have wanted that for scenarios since CMBN was released at least. If you guys think no one is asking for it think again. This is the #1 new feature I'd like to see.... and yet years later to my knowledge it isn't high on a list if it is even on a list. -
