It's the full game, bought and downloaded from battlefront.
I got one small battle done, but then it started to lag again.
I have a AMD quad core, 8 gig ram, 1.5tb harddisc, with Geforce GXT 560 TI
I have no secrity software outside that of what comes with Win 7, no norton ect.
I have turnd of AUC, so that should not be a problem.
-
First the game won't start untill I use XP compabilty mode, then the game uses 3-5 minutes before it starts, the menu lags, and when I finnaly get into the game, it lags to. beeing unplayable.
Even after I go out of the game, my computer becomes slow for sevral minutes, with my web browser beeing slow ect.
I have no idea why, my computer is far above the requierd system.

I tried the demo and it worked fine, so I bought the main game and the 3 xp packs budle thing, after it was all installed I tried to start the game, and noting happens, just nothing
-
Well the problem was that I was moving between houses, to flank a Pak, and the hourses are only some 10 meters apart, but it was a small line of sight from my soldiers to the pak, and they stopped to fire at it from the front, which is useless, and the pak spent some 10-15 seconds doing nothing before fireing and blowing away half the squad, had the squad just been moving, the pak would never had time to get of any shot, and they would have been safe.

So this is a partucular problem in urban combat, but also when you move between gaps in hedgerows.
I send my infantry on a flanking manouvre, but if they see any enemies they stop and shoot at them even if they are in the open, I just want them to RUN DAMN IT, it's particularoy dangures when they stop and shoot at AT guns, or 88s, if they moved they would get out of it alive, but it just seems stupid to stop in the open and decide to have a fire fight with an 88.
Is there a command they makes infantry MOVE with out fireing at first sight of the enemy? it would save alot of lives for my Americans.
-
I took some pics of 14 inch guns hitting the germans, I opened the battle with one volley of them, then later I used my forward oberserver, to fire them again, this is what it looked like.

I've been playing mostly small scale quick battles, on small maps, I play americans and I usualy get about either 1 company or one and a half company depending on how much artillery I get. This last game I did not buy any artillery, relying on my standard mortars.
I did notise that the germans even in inf vs inf battles favore ALOT of AT guns and seem to be sacreficing manpower for it. Now the defenders have lett points but still I think if they didn't buy 8-10 AT guns they might have been able to have more infantry, I notise I often have twice the number of soldiers as the germans, but they have lots of AT guns, now at guns are great in open maps, but in small maps with lots of hedges and stuff, they aren't that good. and easy to take out with mortars.
So my question is, did the germans really favore having lots of AT guns?

Hey buddy!!
Hey Dude!!!

You allready have naval artillery in the game, cruisers, destroyers and 12 and 14 inch battleship guns

I never played the old games, so I don't know if there was ever a pacific mod for it.
But with this game simulating infantry combat so well, I think this game would be great for a pacific mod or expantion, sadly I have no mod skills.

Made a short review on my wargaming blog
http://apartmentofwar.blogspot.com/2011/05/review-of-combat-mission-battle-for.html

I'm playing around with the quick battle thing, but I'm getting my ass kicked, I've tried to give my self air suport, but I can never use it, always say unavalable, I can use mortars and off map arty, but never air.
-
I've never played the older combat missions nor the ones with the modern stuff.
So this is my first venture into this series.
First the game playes alot better on turned based, I have only played the torurial so far becasue it's really very good mission, I did not get the hang of MG and mortar in real time, but started to get a feel for it in turn based.
I finnaly started to get a feel for the whole thing, I spent 20 minutes routing the crauts out of the hedges on the right flanks, fire and manovre with 3 rifle squads and an MG,
On the left flank by the farm, I used up all my mortar ammo to just take out the craut mg, and layed supressing fire with the second mg.
In the end by the cross road, I got the germans in crossfire and flank fire and massacard about 20 of them by thr AT gun, it was a victroy but a costly one, 44 dead 23 wounded 4 tanks out of action.
I'm gonna give it another try tomorrow I want to get less then 20 killed. Or the brass is gonna have my head. Can't go around killing of 50% of my company routing out some POWs and second line troops.

The demo is now out, I'm sure you could find it,
It's very good

Looks like we are going to get it this weekend.

Now I can't post a direct link to keep with in the rules of the forum,
But just google it bitches.
The game is the spiritual 3rd sequal in the Take Command series.
While the Take command series is dead, its sprit lives on in Scourge of War
Those that have played the Take command series will reconice the gameplay and look right away, but it's full of new stuff, in the old games you had 1:10 sprite soldier ratio, which mean alot of unit only had 10-50 soldiers in them, the game now uses 1:4 which means single regiments might have 400 sprites, brigades 1600, divisions 4000, corps 10 000 ect.
This means battles are huge. the ai has ofcouse gotten complete workover, and those that have played TC know the ai was allready better then most other games.
As the name says the game deals with Gettysburg, mabye not the most important battle, but deffantly the biggest, bloodiest and best known. the game is devied into senarios both single and mutliplayer, that deal with historic fights from the 3 days in july, and a sandbox thing that lets player choose OOBs and fight battles over battlefields choosen, this also has multiplayer.
Now the Muiliplayer has no player limit, other then the conections limit, so in theory you can have 20 players playing the same battle, each mabye controling a brigade or divsion ect.
You also don't need to play against eachother, you can play in the same army, so in esence a coop game.
Anyway those that know TC and loves it will already know thay should buy it, those that havn't tried take command, buy it, you can get it cheap on amazon.
Or wait until the end of the month, and download the SoW game/demo
You basicly download the whole game as a demo, then you buy an activation code to activate the whole game,

I have no big problem with homosexuality - other than when children/teens are introduced to the concept. Rather like religion :
Well there is a diffrence, of you don't tell a kid about jesus or mohamed or Vishnu, they will never become christians, muslim or hindu.
But you don't need to tell a kid about homosexuality for them to turn out gay.
Infact something close to 90% of gay people discover they are gay by the time they are 12-14, some even as early as 5-6 evidence show that you are born gay, so it doesn't mater if you teach or tell children about homosexuality, most kids by the time they actualy learn about it has long since decided if they actualy are gay or not.
It has even shown that children brought up by gay parents have exactly the same chance of beeing gay, bi or straight.

Not supose to talk politics so it's kinda limiting, but as Yankee dog is right, homosexuality is very commen in the wild espesaly in mammals and birds but other groups to, and we aren't just talking sex here, but real "gay marriage" amog animals were they spend most of their life togeather.
Now the evolutionalry reason for this is so far unknown, we simply havn't found a working theory that explanes why it would be benifitial for some same sex bonding.
How does two male swans hooking up togeather help the spread of the genes ect.
At first we thought that the gay animals might help raise thier Nephews and nieces and give them a better chance of survicing, and that way makes their gene spread.
But this didn't pan out, so right now we don't know the reason why some people and animals are gay, we only know that they are, and they arn't hurting anybody. and therefor I have absolutly no problem with it.

I had both CompM2 From aimpoint and an Eo-tech 552, Both are nice but for a AR15 I say go for the aimpoint is more stremlined and fit the narrow body of the AR15 rifes, the Eo-tech is broader and fits better with M14 ect.
-
Norway also have only two threat levels,
War with sweden
No war with sweden,
By a clarical error the war with sweden has been activated the last 10 years, but nobody seem to care, as the norwegian people are to adicted to cheap food and booze from sweden.
Iceland got 3 levels, and they are the same as the americans, if america goes to war they go to war, this is because all the military forces in iceland is realy american
-
Ah ok, it might be good, but I'm not paying 190NOK to find out, the old demoes dosn't nesecraly paint the right picture of the new game
-
There Horse and musket 2 and horse and musket Volume 1 are aperantly two diffrent game series. that confuseingly use the same name.
-
I had to check the game, as I hadn't heard of it, at first I thought it was a old game you couldn't get anymore, but it's only 6 months old.
The graphics look very old, I mean you can bearly tell whats is infantry what is cavalry.
Also in todays games I expect higher model ratio then 1:100 Atleast 1:10
But if the ai is cool and the battles are realistic it might be fun, but honeslty it's seems a bit "cheap" but the price is not.

She might be crazy, but it's the good kind of crazy.
