More playable actually. Makes me want to play a quick battle once a day with the QBG maps and ditch Close Combat Modern Tactics.

In modern combat, once you're spotted, you're as good as dead. I've seen lots of modern wargames that implement this kind of logic (Flashpoint Germany, TacOps4 (no modeling of morale whatsoever), POA4, Close Combat Modern Tactics). So I'm not surprised about CMSF's modelling. I think they should just focus on fixing LOS and cover instead. Because it's so easy to shoot someone inside a building.

Stopped playing since patch 1.02. Began playing again with 1.05. I'm impressed with 1.05. All is not lost. The good things I noticed: 1) Squad AI now knows how to hug the walls and corners. 2) Crawl of death doesn't seem to exist anymore. (Sometimes it turned to walk of death, but most would run instead). 3) Enemy AI (especially attackers) know how to suppress using one squad then attack using the other.

This will cut through all those body armor:

Same issue. Vista 32Bit, 8400GS. No luck using the same refresh rate. [ October 28, 2007, 05:05 PM: Message edited by: jomni ]

Any updates? I will be switching to a vista machine tomorrow.

I bought Iron Warriors CD (Strategy first). Already version 1.3 and is quite nice. Will the added missions work with this?

It was down for a few hours yesterday.

I have yet to download the QBG maps from CMMODS. But with the new patch, I want to start palying again. So which do I download? Do I need to download all 4 packs? Does the large map and PBEM pack have AI plans for both sides?

On the other hand, BFC would have not made the changes if they did not release it early. The public are still the best way to beta test.

just to confirm. i got the bundle but the code provided only works for DIF and not DIF-EF but EF is unlocked anyway since it's bundle.

Ok. Game hangs after login. Is this a symptom of your problems as well?

Yeah checked the mods and I have to download and install each portion. what a pain.

Thanks. Looks like there's still life for my CMBO.

Yeah I just bought DiF bundle for $14 from www.gamesdujour.com sale. I haven't tried it though. [ September 27, 2007, 07:20 PM: Message edited by: jomni ]

I recently got CMAK. I hear some people say you can play the Western Front from 1940 to 1945 in this game. But when I look at Scenarios, looks like it only covers the Mediterranean and African theaters. When I try to crate a quick battle, I still get the same theaters. Although I can create a post 1944 scenario in Italy to simulate CMBO battles. Is that what people are talking about? Do you recommend me to uninstall CMBO and focus on this game instead? Are there custom CMBO scenarios for CMAK?

I made a 3km x 3km desert map for tank battles. It was quite boring to watch the tanks slug it off at long range.

That's good because the more maps the merrier. QB's will be varied this time.

He might have fixed the AI but force selection is still questionable.

That's the infamous CRAWL OF DEATH!

Hi I ordered from BF site got the DL and now the hard goods (arrived yesterday, in Singapore). Which patch to apply to hard goods ? BF or Paradox?

Standard package arrived in Singapore just now.

The Crawl of Death is still in 1.03. But if it is unsolvable due to limitations of the AI, like in the Close Combat series, then I can live with it. Good thing most TacAI stuff has been solved (your troops do as they are told and can shoot by themselves already). Pathfinding is also fixed. Great work!

Is the AI Crawl of Death solved?

don't even know if it is possible in real life
