Thanks for the advice. Cheers JTF

Hi all. Currently using Z-Bee mod manager with CMSF. I understand it also works with CMBN but I would need to install it again. When I try to install a second manager all I get is an option to Repair or Un-Install. Any advise. Thanks JTF

Thank for the response guys. Couple of things to try out. Cheers JTF

Thanks for update, I'll revisit when I get that module. Cheers JTF

Hi Clubfoot. Thank for you time and effort on this. When running CMSF the campaign is greyed out, am I missing something? I only have the Brit module and the base game. Thanks JTF

Hi all. My battle plans usually start with some sort of prep fire into suspected positions. The problem I have is moving my FOs onto position to get "eyes on". As soon as I'm in position I attract HMG fire etc. I've tried going in slow with "Hide" at the last way point but still ended up seen before I could call in the fire mission. Any advice as to the best way to move into reciprocal LOS and stay hidden? Thanks JTF.

It's the "Training Demo v1.01" The other 3 CM's had a "do this and do that and you will see this happens" type of thing. Guess I'll have read the manual. I See what you mean about the need for suppression. De-bused the troops only to put 'em back on board so they didn't all die. Cheers JTF

Is there a walkthough/guide to the introduction game in the demo? If not any advice. Thanks JT Fox

Thanks again to yourself and GAJ. Cheers JT Fox

Thanks for this. It improved my view of the battlefield and helps to spot dead ground etc. Thanks again JT Fox PS Is there anything like this for CMBB?

Makes my top 10. Don't forget his book on the battle for Berlin.

Nothing more to add. Well maybe another WOW!

Teamspeak client and server are free to download last time I checked, and easy to set up. Also Skype is free last time I checked. If you have a PC and the internet you can chat, for free.

Example from the site listed above. The site also shows a "family tree" style layout of the all the sub units. Typical Structure of Naval Rifle Brigades Equipment.................Amount Manpower..................4500 men Light Machine-guns........149 Heavy Machine-guns........48 PPSh submachineguns.......612 Antitank rifles...........48 76mm guns.................8 57mm guns.................12 82mm mortars..............16 120mm mortars.............8 Automobiles...............178 Horses....................812 Remarks: 1.Naval rifle brigades were formed by staff of common separate rifle brigade; 2.Up to 50% of manpower consisted of marines; 3.Initially all commanders (including junior leaders) were from seamen; 4.Unlike Marine brigades Naval rifle brigades were formed by military districts, but not by fleets.

Quick question for Robert Olesen. Can you give some info on the "B" and "S" found on the "Operational Orders Tables". Thanks JTF PS: As for the Open Office Calc (free version), There is no programme, at the moment, to convert macro's that I can find.

I got CMBO, CBBB and CMAK from ebay. BO and BB were new and AK used. All 3 together cost about £12 inc. P&P. Cheers JTF

Thanks for the book tip George Mc. JasonC I found this site. http://rkkaww2.armchairgeneral.com/ It has some real detailed maps but they are, (mostly), in Russian. My Russian is not as good as it used to be and it used to be crap. So I'll use your commentry to try and follow the maps. Thanks JT Fox

I'm after some information on the 48th Panzer Korps, formally the 48th Armee Korps (mot). I'm trying to build up a detailed picture of it's movements from the opening shots of Barbarossa, thought the Russian winter counter attack and into spring. June 41 to May 42. The info I so far have is top level, Panzer Group etc. If anyone knows of any good web sites which could give me more detail I would greatful for any links. Where, when, what was it doing and who was the unit above. All that on a weekly time scale would be great. Thanks JT Fox

Good bumping Blazing 88's. I have searched a number of times for this sort of thing yet somehow managed to miss RQC generator. I had started to write my own campaign rules. I had a 8 page sequence of play mapped out when I read this thread. 75% of what I had planned is cover by RQC generater so a lot of time and effort has been saved on my part. To Robo, thanks for the time and effort you put in to producing this piece of work. Finally. Has anyone coverted the Excel spreadsheet macro's to work with Open Office Calc? That would save me even more time and effort. Cheers JT Fox

Hi BlastDuke. I'm in the process of putting together a ruleset for a campaign game. It's called: Combat Mission: Solitaire Campaign System. (CM:SCS) Although the title says solitaire the battles can be played head to head or PBEM. I was relieved to see it differs a fair bit from you ruleset. I thought I might have to throw mine out of the window. I like the look of running three campaigns but would do it in the following manner. Move to Moscow Move to Leningrad Move to Stalingrad The aim of the game would be to hold all 3 cities simultaneously in order to force a Russian surrender. Taking Moscow and Leningrad by winter 41 and then pushing south in 42 while holding the first two against Russian counter attacks would be a very interesting game. I'll watch with interest to how people respond to this and what they say as it might effect how I complete my campaign game. Good luck JT Fox

Fictional with Minimal Story If you have a large equipment data base which can be expanded, then you can take CMx2 engine to any location. A few visual mods and you would soon be fighting in Cold War Europe in the 1980's for example. I have have not been around CM for very long but one thing that stands out is the way in which the game community can bend the CMx1 engine to do almost any campaign. With "Fictional with Minimal Story" you keep all options open. Cheers JT Fox

I check your updates on a regular basis and look forward to the end result Cheers JT Fox

Read a bit about this ETO thing in other threads, did search and here I am. Thanks to "David I" for the time and effort he put into this. Downloading CMETO now. Cheers JT Fox
