This is interesting, will keep an eye on this.

I'd like to give this a go when it's ready.

+1. These rules can add a lot of fun and realism to the game.
I wish more of the lads over at the FGM would use them.

Also, can I install my Combat Mission games onto my newish laptop so I can play turns when I'm unable to get to my desktop PC?

So what you did was copy your pre-Fire & Rubble installation of CMRT to another directory (to use in a PBEM game) and the original installation was upgraded with the Fire & Rubble module. Nothing else changed about the computer, including installing the 2.11 patch on the old installation ?
That's correct.

Not since the first activation, but a few days after I installed Fire & Rubble it began to ask again.

Yes when I first installed the game.

Will do, thanks.

I recently bought and installed the Fire and Rubble DLC. I copied my old version of CMRT onto my desk top because I was playing a battle against someone who wasn't getting the latest patch.
So we've played a few turns since but now when I try to play either version of the game I get brought to the product activation wizard, and when I copy my product key into it, it say I've exceeded my activations. I've only ever had my games on the one PC.

Ha cool, some new campaign ideas and I can finally do a Twilight 2000 campaign.
-
I love the rules myself, gives each engagement a realistic feel of C&C and I wish I'd played against more players who'd use them. I'd love to do a HardCat rules of engagement campaign.
-
I wouldn't mind getting involved.

I am still using FRAPS for CM screen shots and video clips.
I have FRAPS, but I only get black screens shots.

@nathangun So is Geccos instead of Vassal or in addition to it?
It can be used instead of Vassal, but it is completely different.
You set the date and time and place units on a map, give the units checkpoints to travel along a route setting their speed and then press play.
You really need to fiddle around with it.

I am able to, however it isnt OK for me to be distributing these. Some belong to diff titles. Pm me with a screenshot of proof that you own the series and then I'll zip up my files when I get home later.
I used to hand these out, but its not right imo. Unless I get permission I will refrain from pushing their buttons. Hope you understand.
I will send maps for the titles you own.
Also, I have a thread in Combat Mission General Discussion titled "The official map conversion thread" or whatever. It has all the instructions in there to do it yourself in the meantime
PM sent.

BS is the best of the series. It's the most competitive CM. The Harshest. This game should be the only one you practice. 100% worth the money. 300-500% worth after you convert the maps from the other titles over (Super simple, takes no time at all. Every title except CMSF and CM:A work.)....
By far the best CM and I own everything.
My one gripe is the lack of vehicles and equipment. Although I believe this is the most neglected CM (Maps, scenarios, equipment). So I wouldnt be worried. More will come eventually.
Playing as Russians and Ukrainians is the best and will hone your skill
Would it be possible to post your converted maps into a map pack over at the CMMODS III ? Or is there another way to get these usful gems? (I'm running a CMBS campaign and can use all the maps I can get my hands on).

The GMT 40,42,43 & 44 games are great but with battalion size battles/formations will drag out the campaigns as @Erwin mentioned, which usually fizzle out.
You might want to narrow your focus to smaller engagements, check out the Standard Combat Series from Multi Man Publishing (MMP) they're company size battles (for the most part).
There's an interesting one for the battle of Bastogne called 'Bastogne: Screaming Eagles Under Siege' (Vassal Link).
I had started to build a Vassal Module for the Noville battle, details can be found over at the FGM here, it's not a finished project, there's still work to do.
One tip I'll give you before you start any campaign, have the CM battle maps built beforehand, it'll will make life a lot easier.
I'm currently using vassal for a small campaign using CMBS, small unit engagements, it's in it's testing phase but early indicators look good.

I played in several CMMC's (Combat Mission Mega Campaigns) back in the day. CMBB and CMAK. Quite a few players and a team of umpires made it the most fun ever.
The limiting factor is having enough people to umpire/gamemaster it all.
Trying to involve BFC will be a non-starter imho, they won't have the time to deal with it in any way.
I remember those campaigns foundly, I still have a copy the Geccos program that the campaign ran on.

Here are some decent maps of the lower Alpine region in Italy, even tho the war didn't go that far north but they give a good flavor of terrain for map making, you can always change place names.
